Review Summary

Le Butterblume is described as bright and lively with a seasonal menu and a standout brunch that draws a crowd. Many reviews praise the use of high end ingredients, the beautiful presentation of dishes like ravioli and brioche, and the open kitchen with attentive service. There are remarks about portions varying, with some brunch portions being generous and others noting that certain dishes like gnocchi can feel heavy or that some smaller plates leave you wanting more. Prices are often described as high and sometimes not worth the value given the portion sizes, with some diners leaving satisfied and others disappointed. Noise level is frequently noted as high when the place is busy, though the atmosphere is described as warm and convivial with friendly staff. The brunch and seasonal ingredients receive many positive notes, with compliments on coffee, bread, and creative combinations, while a few critics feel certain flavors lack balance or fail to rise above home cooking. Overall, impressions range from solid to exceptional, highlighting strong service and a vibrant setting while acknowledging room for refinement in flavor balance and pricing.

I had a reservation at 1pm, but the restaurant was so busy & hectic that I had to wait another 25m to be seated. Since I was a single person, I was seated at the bar where you can see the kitchen in full view & watch everything be prepared. So while the restaurant looks cool, it was also loud. So it's not a peaceful lunch spot. But it was on a Saturday.

However I found the service to be great, because of the delay they served me a drink & coffee without charge. I found all the staff to be pretty attentive & quick as well.

Overall satisfied with the food. I had a savory & sweet leek & cheese bread-cake, along with a separate plate of gravlax that leaned sour & salty. They paired well together. Most of the menu isn't actually a full main meal, so I'd expect to order 2 different things to feel full & satisfied.

The menu isn't huge, but you don't need it to be. The brunch is absolutely incredible. The flavours are all there, the textures, everything! The coffee was also surprisingly good. Don't be fooled though, it's a lot of food, so come hungry.

Great service & atmosphere, but the food was not worth the price. The menu looks interesting with cool flavor combinations but none of them actually turned out special at all. The eggplant tartine had bread that was too thick & large & covered the delicate flavors on top. The ravioli with chicken dashi soup didnt have a great texture & the main element that should have balanced it out (the dashi soup) didnt have any strong flavor & so the overall effect is a bad mix of textures without any standout flavors. The only thing we liked was the brioche, but even that wasnt all that impressive either. & the cocktails were similarly mediocre: the espresso martini was light brown with the taste of coffee barely present & was overall watered down. Overall an okay meal but wouldn't come again considering we ended up paying $115 for two meals, two cocktails, a brioche entree & the tip.

The food was really good but the portions really small. I usually can never finish a meal, especially brunch. I finished this quickly & easily but was still hungry. Coffee was really good.

Gorgeous sunny restaurant where the mile ends. Had a fantastic schnitzel & salad, & the coffee was delicious. Only had to wait 15 mins for a table!

I really enjoyed brunch here. They had unique offerings on the menu (we tried the breakfast hot dog!), the coffee was great & the atmosphere was welcoming & relaxed.

This was one of my favourite restaurants on my trip through quebec.
The rhubarb cocktail was the best cocktail ive ever had. Coffee is amazing.
Food was fantastic. We got the fresh made cheese & the pork schnitzel for dinner. Would absolutely come again.
