Reviews describe La Buvette du Quartier as a chic yet welcoming spot with a warm vibe and a terrace, a sharing style menu that delivers creative dishes from oysters and tartare to pasta and bold plates, and a wine and cocktail program that many find exceptional, pairing nicely with the food. The service is generally attentive and knowledgeable, with a strong sommelier presence, though some visits note that the music can be loud and that waits can be longer during peak times. Overall the experience tends to be memorable and makes it a go to for celebrations and casual evenings alike.
Well this one is hard. We were welcome by an angel, all smiling & so kind & aware. Then we sat at the bar.. we always do for a better experience. The martini was good, the wine after, of course ( good selection btw) but the atmosphere was a disaster. Stuck a the bar watching employes chating & laughing even bumping on me on my way out of the washroom. Clients or prob friends rubbing being the bar & flirting with the staff.. I wouldn't have care really but the staff was so loud that I couldn't enjoy a conversation with my partner. The rest of the bar looked pretty annoyed too.. & waiting for service. It was only 7pm. & the place was half capacity at that time.
The food , decor & wine selection are there.
But the place shows a lack of management.
Will still recommend for wine selection, food, & the angel at the door.
I was really underwhelmed. I found the service a bit annoying, we mentioned we were sharing plates & had to request spoons to split out our food twice. They gave us a dessert to share but didn't give us a knife to cut it & when we mentioned it they told us we should have asked - I think they should have proactively offered. Service was too chatty, kept over explaining about how they had the best sommelier in Quebec & how their food was so good - read the room, we don't need to hear you complimenting yourself. We ordered several items, the focaccia, olives, brussel sprouts, rockefeller oysters, cavatelli & cod - I only enjoyed the focaccia & the brussel sprouts, the rest was not good per me, the flavors weren't well balanced, either too rich or too bland. The wine selection was good & the wine was excellent & really inexpensive with the promotions they have, so that was the highlight of the meal. I would only go back to have a glass of wine.

Beautiful ambience & excellent service. Large selection of drinks & private labelled wine. Nice presentation but the plates are not served all at the same time.
Absolutely wonderful, the ideal blend of trendy & chic, while remaining grounded & non pretentious. The wine selection is impressive, & the food is phenomenal. Creative dishes beautifully presented will make you want to try every dish. A true gem
Ambiance toujours au top, menu original avec des ingrédients recherchés & de qualité. La sélection de vins est variée & parfaite pour accompagner chaque plat. ☺? Cheers! 🍷
Buvette is a really pretty spot-loved the decor, & there was tons of parking. The menu looked great & felt fairly priced. We had oysters, pasta, & risotto-all really tasty & nicely portioned.
The service was polite but a bit distant, especially considering we were the only table there. Not bad, just not super warm. Also, for a place called Buvette, the wine-by-the-glass selection was surprisingly limited (only 2 whites & 4 reds), which felt a bit off.
Still, the food was solid & there's more on the menu I'd like to try, so I'll probably be back.
La Buvette du Quartier in Brossard is one of the best spots in the area for shared dining. While it's not a tapas restaurant, the plates are generously portioned & meant to be shared. Prices are fair-comparable to or slightly higher than similar restaurants in Montreal.
The food is delicious, the wine selection is excellent, & the staff are friendly, attentive, & efficient. The overall vibe is relaxed yet polished.
My one disappointment was the dessert. The blondie was overcooked & too sweet, lacking the balance & finish I was hoping for-so I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5.
Pro tip: Make a reservation if you're going on a weekend evening. Without one, you could be waiting up to an hour for a table.
Super belle découverte. En couple ou entre amis c'est l'endroit parfait.
L'ambiance est décontracté des bons cocktails & une belle sélection de vins. Beaucoup de choix disponibles dans le menus & sur 5 plats aucun ne nous a déçu. Au contraire c'était au delà de nos attentes. Je recommande!
De plus, bientôt leur terrasse sera ouverte & malgré l'endroit ils ont su créer l'intimité pour ne pas se sentir face au stationnement. On va y retourner c'est certain!

We loved our date night at Buvette! The area was lacking a more upscale place & this met the expectations. Delicious food, & amazing wine selection. The place itself is also stunning. We look forward to coming back.
Après quelques visites, toujours aussi charmé ! La sélection de vin est super & la nourriture est sublime ! Les suggestions de vin toujours surprenants & tous les plats sont savoureux & généreux ! L'ambiance feutrée est très agréable & service impeccable !
Première expérience, j'ai bien aimé. Les éperlans frits c'était bien, personnellement je les frirais encore plus légèrement mais c'était bon! Le tartare de canard était excellent, rien à dire, chapeau! La sélection de vins est bien, mais 4* au service. Le serveur était sympathique mais manquait clairement de formation sur le vin...

Une expérience mémorable à la Buvette du Quartier ! Hier, j'ai eu l'opportunité de dîner à la Buvette du Quartier, & je suis ravie de partager mon avis sur cette belle découverte. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillies par une serveuse charmante & souriante, dont le professionnalisme & la connaissance des plats ont immédiatement su nous mettre à l'aise. Le repas lui-même était un régal, mais l'élément qui a réellement captivé notre attention, c'est l'impressionnante carte des vins. Elle propose une sélection soignée, variée & équilibrée, qui met en avant des choix régionaux ainsi que des classiques réputés. Grâce aux recommandations de notre serveuse, passionnée par son métier, j'ai pu savourer un vin''orange'' qui complétait parfaitement mon plat & a ajouté une profondeur incroyable à notre expérience gastronomique. L'ambiance de la Buvette du Quartier est conviviale & chaleureuse, idéale pour déguster un bon repas tout en profitant d'une atmosphère détendue. La décoration est élégante sans être prétentieuse, ce qui rend l'endroit accueillant. En résumé, la Buvette du Quartier est un lieu à ne pas manquer, qui séduit par sa cuisine délicieuse & sa carte des vins impressionnante. N'oubliez pas de demander conseil à la serveuse, elle saura vous orienter vers les meilleures options en fonction de vos goûts. Une adresse que je ne manquerai pas de revisiter & que je recommande chaudement !
Hard to remember how it looked before as Element. They did a great job remodeling. Only major downside is their beer selection is awful (the place used to brew their own beer & now we have the obvious mega-brewery junk), at least they have good cocktails to compensate. Food is quite expensive for the portion size, but you have to pay for the nice decor, plus the food tastes very good!
Super! Service chaleureux & ambiance feutrée. Belle sélection de vin au verre!!! (Peut-être qu'une autre bulle un peu plus hors du commun pourrait être offerte éventuellement?) Le menu est parfait pour des plats à partager mettant un élément en vedette, bien hâte d'en essayer plus! (Manquait légèrement d'assaisonnement sur l'un de nos plats, mais rien de dramatique.) J'y retournerai assurément!
