Where I was disappointed was the food options: no interesting vegan option on the menu. The focaccia had eggs, another carrot dish could have been vegan if I removed the feta ($20 for a plate of carrots; no thanks) & I ended up taking a bowl of fries with ketchup (good, but relatively small & was $11).
Would be happy to try again if you can add at least one real vegan dish.
Nous avons passé une très belle soirée. Le restaurant est bien situé &, un samedi soir, il était facile de s'y rendre puisqu'il n'y avait pas trop de circulation dans le secteur. La terrasse, même si elle est très près de la rue, est agréable.
Le service mérite une mention spéciale. Les serveurs étaient vraiment exceptionnels : souriants, chaleureux, professionnels & très attentionnés.
Côté nourriture, les entrées étaient excellentes. Nous avons partagé la burrata, les calamars frits & le crudo, & tout était délicieux. La carte des vins est intéressante, avec des prix tout à fait raisonnables.
Comme plats principaux, le ravioli était excellent. En revanche, le tartare de boeuf nous a déçus. Nous étions trois à en commander &, malheureusement, aucun de nous ne l'a vraiment apprécié. Nous l'avons trouvé beaucoup trop sucré, avec un goût particulier qui ne nous convenait pas.
Les seuls points que j'améliorerais seraient le confort des chaises & des tables, qui est moyen, ainsi que la recette du tartare de boeuf.
Mis à part ces deux aspects, nous avons passé une excellente soirée.

The food here was absolutely delicious & the service was great. I loved the vibe of restaurant. The only thing is that I made a reservation for 9:30pm & when I arrived on time they said that the kitchen closes at 9:45. I was surprised when they said this because why offer reservations at 9:30 & then expect the customer to scramble last minute to order food in time. Also would not recommend sitting outside due to small bugs that kept landing on the table.
June Buvette has quickly cemented itself as one of the best neighborhood wine bars on Rue Centre.
The Owners:
Opened in the summer of 2023 in the space formerly occupied by Masala Cuisine, the restaurant was originally founded & continues to be owned by a powerhouse collaboration. The visionaries behind the establishment are Thomas Engasser & Kevyn Houpert (owners of the popular spot La Traversée) alongside Thomas Vernis & Patrick Marion of the nightlife-focused Tomahawk Group. Under their continuous leadership, the kitchen has thrived with the incredibly talented Chef Colin Lavallée steering the culinary program.
The Specialty:
They specialize in an eclectic, seasonal menu filled with'cheeky' but seriously cheffy small plates designed for sharing. While the food rotates with harvest cycles, they are widely celebrated for a menu that leans elegantly into exquisite seafood, decadent pastas, & elevated casual bites-think scallop pogos, fried halibut sandwiches on potato buns, & incredibly creamy burrata with warm focaccia. Their other major specialty is an expertly curated beverage program focusing heavily on'glou-glou' funky natural, organic, & biodynamic wines.
What People Are Saying:
Patrons absolutely love the atmosphere. Reviewers frequently highlight the dual-energy design by MRDK, noting that the front room is bright, stylish, & lively (often hosting excellent live jazz nights), while the back room transitions into warmer, quieter cottage vibes. Locals & foodies alike rave about the youthful, exuberant energy of the front-of-house staff & appreciate that they can drop in for casual drinks or commit to an amazing multi-course tasting experience without a drop of pretension.
Whether you're sitting at the bar to chat with the kitchen brigade or enjoying the summer terrasse, it's a neighborhood staple that delivers big on flavor & character.
Last Monday, we went for a drink. The welcome was very, very cold; the staff didn't smile. They didn't open the bottle of wine in front of us. Quite a disappointing experience!!! The recommendation came from Star Wine List. The only positive points were the wine list & the back terrace.
Lovely little bistroesque restaurant with great decor & super interesting dishes to try on this midweek night. Long banquette with several tables for diners, plus a bar counter, separate larger open room, & outdoor space. Wine & other bottles adorn the main walkway wall, & art prints & interesting things hang on most available wall space. Music was at a reasonable level, more or less.
The menu is fairly concise, & while we did not opt for the three-course table d'hotes, there were plenty of decisions to be made. We opted for the fried calamari & focaccia, with the beef tartare & squash ravioli as mains.
The calamari appeared to be breaded in-house, & were cooked properly (no toughness here). We very much loved these. Focaccia yielded two large hunks of bread & a marinara, & served me well with the ravioli.
The ravioli were swimming in what I believe was butternut squash sauce, adorned with cheese shavings, but otherwise filled with the standard ricotta. These were clearly freshly made, & cooked to al dente perfection. The tartare, stacked with focaccia as well, & a blizzard of shredded parmagiano, seemed to be sat on a sauce, not quite balsamic, a little fruity, but we could not discern the origin. I loved it, while she, less so (she is a tartare purist), but it was happily eaten.
The wine list is extensive by the bottle, but there were a few by-the-glass options, including an orange wine, so we were well covered there. The service was fine, if a little prone to misremembering, but we were well tended to during our visit.
The meal with a drink each came to $114 before tax & tip, & I feel it was well worth that.
Super resto avec un superbe service! Un peu bruyant mais c'était un vendredi soir.. On a pris le menu 3services 50$ & du vin, tout était très bon! Je recommande
I came here on a Friday night with reservations. Our table was not ready for us when we got there. We waited maybe 15 minutes past our reservation time. It took a while after that for us to get our drinks & order our meals. We found that the service was a bit slow throughout the night.
They had a table d'hôte which we all liked. It was very reasonably priced & the food was good.
The seating was something that a bunch of us found very uncomfortable. The little stools at the tables are very small. I sat on the booth & it was very cramped for my legs. Since service was a bit slow for us, we were there for about 3 hours. & it was very uncomfortable being on those seats for that long.
I would be open to coming back & trying again, especially if they have seasonal menus & a terrace in the summer. I didn't have the best experience this time but open to trying again as I hear great things about June Buvette.
Nous étions très mal assis à un îlot où il n'y avait pas d'espace pour les jambes. Je ne recommande pas cet emplacement. Le service était courtois & chaleureux, mais assez long. Les plats étaient bons, mais pas très goûteux. J'avais plus d'attentes envers ce resto. Légèrement décevant
