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.
Nice atmosphere but oor quality of dishes.
In a tapas restaurant, would expect a little variety of olives but it was just kalamata.
Patatas bravas was not at all delicious, & the chorizo was super overcooked like a rubber.
The only good dish was the calamari & maybe the broccoli.
Wine & margarita also not impressive.
Would not go here again.
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!
We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. We had multiple rounds of food, first ceviche, which was delicious, with perfectly salted chips. Next we had saganaki & beef tartare, which was so good we ordered a second round. They had a good Portuguese red wine for happy hour & also tried the Ernest Rita & the Bees Knees, which were both refreshing.
Excellente découverte au Bureau Bar Tapas pour les amateurs de cocktails ! La carte est variée, avec des classiques bien maîtrisés & des créations originales qui valent le détour. J'ai testé le Mojito Framboise & un Old Fashioned, & les deux étaient parfaitement équilibrés, ni trop sucrés ni trop forts.
On sent que les bartenders connaissent leur métier : les cocktails sont bien dosés, bien présentés & préparés avec des ingrédients de qualité. Petit plus, ils prennent le temps de conseiller en fonction des goûts de chacun.
L'ambiance du bar ajoute au plaisir de la dégustation, avec une belle énergie sans être oppressante. Bref, une adresse à garder en tête pour boire de bons cocktails dans une ambiance conviviale !
Our work had a holiday party at Bar Le Bureau, & I couldn't be more impressed! They were so accommodating the entire evening, serving up delicious cocktails & some really cool tapas fare that everyone loved. The decor inside is absolutely stunning, & the staff were incredibly friendly & attentive. I would go back in a heartbeat-highly recommend it for any event or a night out!

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!
I found the experience rather unremarkable. The ambiance was pleasant with nice live music, perfect lighting, & cute, fun decor. Service was decent but not exceptional, as our server was friendly but infrequent, & our water glasses weren't refilled. The food was subpar; the white wine was delicious, but the calamari lacked crunch, the tartare was bland, & the tacos were forgettable. For a tapas bar, the food did not feel worth the price given the limited service. While the ambiance & wine were enjoyable, the food & service were disappointing.

We've been regulars for the best part of 10 years now. The service & the food is nothing short of exceptional. The menu has evolved over the years but has retained its amazing tapas style. Ambiance is always on point. Just miss the Foosball table where we settled many bar bets
