Soirée absolument mémorable chez June Buvette hier avec mes amis. Service impeccable, ambiance parfaite, délices du début à la fin.
Coup de coeur pour l'agnolotti au Louis d'Or & oignon, la caille cuite sur coffre & sous vide, les amuse-gueules raffinés, la brochette de champignons vraiment travaillée, & le dessert aux pommes Honey crisp… À TOMBER PAR TERRE. Impossible de choisir un plat favori tellement tout était remarquable.
**Dans le cadre de Montréal en Lumière, le chef Jean-Philippe Matheussen était en collaboration avec Collin Lavallée à la buvette pour offrir ce quatre services inspiré du terroir québécois.
Mention spéciale aux chefs pour leur créativité & talent. Merci d'avoir créé un délicieux souvenir pour nous quatre 🥹🌟
Service was extremely slow took over 1hr to receive two oysters & two puff pastries. The second service was a burrata & a plate of mushrooms the burrata was excellent the mushrooms tasted like lemon boiled mushrooms personally. The pasta plate lacked flavour & basic salt. The apple dessert was very tasty. Not somewhere I would return place was very loud & my boyfriend kept complaining about how uncomfortable his seat was.
Great, friendly service. Pretty decor, nice music. Perfect wine suggestion in the Doura. Nice oysters, the coq au vin & mushroom gnocchi were delicious. My friends enjoyed their steak & lamb ragu. The desserts could have been better though. The Paris Brest was tough to eat in terms of texture. The Mille Feuille had this unnecessary passionfruit purée in it. They weren't bad by any means but not something I or my friends would go for again, I think I would have gotten an appetizer instead. Cocktails were great, really enjoyed the Mez before Carol & the bourbon one.

Cute little place in Pointe St Charles on the busy street, rue Centre. The ambience was really nice, terasse was warm & welcoming, lots of space to eat. Reservations were required though as the night progressed it quickly emptied out. Food was overall great with a few hit & miss. The appetizers, both scallop crudo & beef tar tar were really spot on. The spaghettoni & kale Caesar was underwhelming & very small portions. The dessert Paris-Brest was hazelnut & cream heaven. Though the other dessert, the tarragon mousse with granola & fruits was really not up to par. They can definitely use a but more variation in the menu & better selected dessert items. The drinks on the other hand were very well crafted. From signature cocktails, beers, & of course a large wine selection, you couldn't go wrong. Finally the service was about 50% efficient. Great to start, but slowly windled down in attentiveness & efficiency as the night progressed. Took more than an hour to receive our check with a replacing waiter. TDLR I would come back for drinks for sure & the lovely terasse, food tapas & sharinflg style is the way to go. Not always worth the value for portion size.
The place is really nice & the service is really good for a Montreal standards. The cocktail that I tried "bisous in Paris" taste like a lemonade so it's a no for the price!!! Stick to regular cocktails I guess it's better & about the food, the leak & the tartare sooo good !!! The dish of the day was great but the linguini very disappointing!! Don't forget to ask for dessert, It's a must !!!
The quality of the food for the price was excellent! The pear dessert, extremely original & delicious. Overall atmosphere & decor with music was on point, highly recommend!
L'endroit, comme je viens de le mentionner, est très chaleureux. L'accueille l'est d'ailleurs tout au temps. Peut habituer à ce genre de restaurant où l'on entend parler par le bouche-à-oreille, nous sommes placés à une table demie banquetée de siège individuel. Confortables dans notre banc, nous sommes introduits à la serveuse & commençons avec un spritz Amaro, wow! Habitué de faire des dégustations, nous faisons une sélection en fonction de l'appétit de 3 homme trentenaire affamé. Donc, 4 entré 4 repas 😅. Pain levain, aubergines frites, betteraves fumées & pogo de pétoncles. L'expérience semble a mis chemin entre la cuisine réconfortante de ma mère & une cuisine expérimentale. Les entrées arrivent tous en même temps, la présentation est faite, nous dégustons. Personnellement j'ai adoré la betterave fumée, j'en aurais mangé encore d'ailleurs. Les aubergines & les pogos étaient simplement excellents. Mais ce qui semble avoir frappé fort au prêt d'une majorité de notre trio etait le pain levain 😅. Oui oui le pain, un pain maison grillé accompagné d'un beurre maison savoureux, nous en avons pris 2 fois 😏. L'heure des repas! Médaillon de morue, agnolotti à la courge, mafalde & osso bucco. L'accompagnement pour le souper, un vin qui ma plus mais surtout surpris, Coll Del Sabater 2021, une merveille. Un rouge un peu effervescent qui à magiquement accompagné tous les plats. À essayer! La morue était servie sur une purée de topinambours recouverte d'une émulsion de lait, wow. Ça fondait sur la langue & remplissait mes papilles de saveurs & de joie. Personnellement j'ai préféré les Agnolotti à la courge plus tôt que les Marfalde qui ne mon certainement pas impressionner malgré son point fort, sa sauce 👌. L'Osso Bucco quant à lui était bon & comme je disais plus tôt, me fesait pensez a la cuisine réconfortante de ma mère en temps plus froid. 3 hommes avec une grande appétit qui ont mangé 4 entré & 4 repas partagés, j'avais encore faim, j'étais meme déçu. Nous avons partagé alors les 2 dessert. 🤤 Magnifique façon de terminer le repas. La faim ma coupé à la dernière bouché ❤️. Gros point fort de ce restaurant, leur sauces & assainissements. 8.4/10.
This was a great little find in our community. The food was really good, portion size was good, the place was very inviting, & our waiter was amazing. He really knew his menu; had great suggestions & you could tell he loves what he does. Having good service really make to difference. Their dessert we were suggested, Montblanc Pear, was out of this world! Price was ok for the area. We will differently be going back. I recommend checking it out.
Service excellent....plats Agnoletti & aubergines grillees excellents, plat de boeuf ordinaire, dessert de pain perdu ordinaire (on a eu des crampes & une bonne diharée le lendemain matin)....portions beaucoup trop petites pour le prix....portion tapas pour le prix d'un plat principale
Les Pogos de pétoncles, le tartare de boeuf, les desserts, vraiment très bon, le service impeccable Merci à Sarah, j'y retournerais demain, toutefois, un peu trop bruyant.
