June is the story of four friends who wanted to bring everyone together in one place, to share, discuss, laugh, and confide. A bit like a village tavern, like the ones we grew up with in Provence. We wanted to bring out that little touch of craziness that we all have, mix cultures like Montreal teaches us to do, mix ages and differences, and above all, show great conviviality in a place that reflects us.
So, come to June to enjoy a good glass of wine selected by our sommelier accompanied by appetizers or a good seasonal dish crafted by our chef and his team of enthusiasts.June is an unpretentious place where we welcome you in the same way you would welcome us into your home; with honesty, simplicity, and a cheeky little glass of wine in hand.
Reviews describe June Buvette as a cozy intimate spot with a warm attentive staff and a lively yet relaxed atmosphere that suits date nights or gatherings with friends. The wine list and cocktails receive frequent praise for creativity and solid pairings with a menu that ranges from crispy calamari in a flavorful sauce to duck with red wine sauce, scallops, beef tartare with pistachios and smoked oyster mayo, and well executed pastas and seafood dishes. Guests highlight high quality ingredients, careful plating and tasty breads or focaccia, with some dishes standing out as exceptional while others feel under seasoned, cold or overcooked in less consistent visits. Service is praised as friendly and knowledgeable when not slowed by crowds, and private or group events are described as well organized with attentive staff. Overall June Buvette is regarded as a solid warm neighborhood gem with a strong wine program, creative drinks and a vibe that many would return for despite occasional service delays or menu items that miss the mark.
Buvette sympathique mais avec une carte (& des prix!) à retravailler, à mon avis. On pourrait certainement s'attendre à des portions plus généreuses pour le prix! 6$ pour 6 olives'chaudes'? 2 maigres tranches de pain au levain pour le même prix? le goût des betteraves fumées est enterré par l'amertume du radicchio, l'assiette de rigatoni est correcte mais la portion est minimaliste, les aubergines frites sont un peu quelconques, on note un manque d'assaisonnement en général. Bref: des bonnes idées à peaufiner. La carte des vins est correcte (on a remarqué des bouteilles sélection réZin 3 fois au prix de la SAQ). Somme toute, l'endroit demeure sympathique tel que mentionné plus haut, le service efficace & attentionné. On n'y retournera cependant pas de sitôt (d'autres options dans le quartier offrent un bien meilleur rapport qualité-prix). En un mot: overhyped.

Staff was very nice but Food was mediocre. We had the Caesar kale which didn't taste like a ceasar salad. The Beef tartare was amazing & the Squash Agnolotti was good. We found the Rigatoni was a bit bland, the beef was very overpowering. Overall very nice place, nice decor but a bit disappointed with the food. Drinks were also very expensive.
We were in Montreal from out of town for the weekend. We happened to come across June Buvette & gave it a try. & I am so lucky we did! The ambiance, vibe, music, food, & the COCKTAILS were so good! Our waitress was really helpful, & she (& chef) accommodated a special request from my wife asking for the kitchen to make a vegan dish for her. They did & it ended up being so good I had a hard time not eating it off her plate. They were very busy & every seat was filled with someone. One of the owners came by to introduce himself & make sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be going back & bringing friends.
Sympathique buvette sur la rue Centre, l'accueil & le service souriants, on a aimé les plats goûteux où l'équilibre acide-gras-salé-sucré est parfait! Excellent
