In a scene reminiscent of the old days, this is THE Griffintown's bar! Privately imported wines, range of draft beers and cocktails, tasty and affordable tapas.
Le Bureau is ideal for Happy Hour, head to heads or late cravings.
Le Bureau Bar Tapas draws a generally positive mix of impressions, with great food and drinks and a quiet, date friendly atmosphere that invites sharing, an attractive ambience and a delightful patio, plus Sunday jazz evenings that some guests loved. The tapas range features hits like calamari and saganaki and beef tartare, while a few dishes fall short for some readers, such as patatas bravas with a mystery sweet sauce and overcooked chorizo; overall portions are described as substantial and the prices reasonable for the quality. Cocktails are often highlighted as well balanced and well presented, with bartenders who tailor recommendations to tastes, and several reviews note a strong value for the quality. Service is generally praised as friendly and attentive, though one visit mentioned a long wait to settle the bill. The atmosphere and decor receive compliments, and many say they would return for dinner or drinks to enjoy the vibe and come back for more cocktails and tapas.
We have been searching for a local place that is good for after work drinks & small plates, but would also work for a casual meal with groups of friends. So thrilled to have stumbled upon Le Bureau! Great ambience that feels cozy yet contemporary. Cocktails, wine, & food were all excellent & the service was prompt, warm & welcoming.
The food was alright. The aesthetic of the restaurant is really nice & it has a nice ambience. The drinks were very good, but we did have to wait a really long time before having to call the waitress to get her bill in the end.
Highly recommend sitting at the bar with Renee! She makes fantastic drinks based on what you like! Don't be afraid to order off the menu! Good ambiance & tapas!
Went for drinks & dessert. Excellent & professional service, & the atmosphere is relaxed, so you can easily have a conversation. Definitely will be back to try their tapas!
Cozy ambiance, quirky interior decorations & art, not too crowded compared to other spots on the street on a Friday night. A few zero proof options available. Drinks were just OK.

I recently visited Bureau & had an unfortunate accident where I accidentally broke my glass & spilled my drink. The staff was incredibly understanding & immediately offered me a replacement, no questions asked. Their kindness & quick response turned a potentially embarrassing moment into a positive experience. Highly recommend for their excellent customer service!
Endroit sympa pour un drink, la petite terrasse extérieure est agréable. La bouffe est très chère pour la portion, un peu déçue ($18 pour 2 minuscules brochettes de boeuf, & les planches sont très dispendieuses pour la quantité)

Tout est super Au Bureau Bar Tapas: l'accueil, le staff, les drinks originaux, l'ambiance & la belle terrasse mais le menu... wow! Vraiment délicieux! Tout ce que nous avons pris était super bon & bien présenté. C'était notre première fois mais on va y retourner c'est sûr. Vous aimez l'originalité? J'ai essayé le cocktail Spicy Colada unique à ce restaurant. Prenez l'entrée de Saganaki (c'est un fromage flambé) & la planche de Surf & Turf. Vous serez servis, c'est le cas de le dire! À essayer absolument.
We visited le bureau on a Friday May 13 for 5@7 after a long day of work & a series of meetings. I come to this spot whenever I’m on a business call in Montreal. From the moment we arrived, it was quite empty & the staff seemed careless. Good we wanted to talk business. But soon we were disappointed by the service. It was an unprofessional environment. I had to get up twice from my table to invite a waiter to come & serve us. It was noisy we had to shout . & the terrace was empty.
The DJ was AWFUL, it was loud & the music selection was bad. LOUD on a lazy evening. If the DJ wants to play loud he can go to the club if they hire him. NOT here, this is a small area. There are hundreds of great DJ's in Montreal. Please hire a decent DJ.
We left early after few drinks. We wished to stay long for food but the music was disturbing us & we couldn’t hear each other.
