Review Summary

Reviews describe Sauce Buvette Du Quartier as a warm, inviting spot with a cozy atmosphere and attentive service that many say makes the evening special. The food earns frequent praise for generous portions and variety, with standouts like lobster ravioli, calamari, bresaola, whipped ricotta and focaccia, plus well executed braised beef and magret de canard, while a few dishes such as morue or certain pastas are noted as lacking depth. The wine list is enjoyed for its range, though some feel the program could be more cohesive or better aligned with the menu. Guests often highlight service that is friendly and professional, and several reviews mention a lively vibe with live music or an opera singer adding a memorable touch. The setting in Griffintown is repeatedly described as welcoming and intimate, though seating near the kitchen or on the terrace can affect intimacy and noise on busy nights. Overall Sauce Buvette Du Quartier is regarded as a hidden gem with good value for the neighborhood, a strong regular crowd, and a willingness to return for future occasions, with parking behind the restaurant noted as a plus.

Went here for the spectra deal. Overall decent for the deal price, though the drinks were expensive for what they were.

The bresaiola & arancini apps were okay. My friends really enjoyed their braised beef, but the bisque pasta was kinda tasteless not at all like bisque. Also way too many cherry tomatoes dumped on it. Dessert was simple.

Wine was good, though at one point my friend got a mulled wine instead of a normal red. Not sure how that happened. My to-kill-a (tequila) spider just tasted like cassis & sugar.

Live music wasn't great unfortunately, & I'm usually pretty supportive of amateur acts. Cool decor though.

Service was friendly & accommodating but needed to be trained better. Not sure why they don't give you a bill with the price breakdown before paying.

Let me begin by highlighting the superb service by Duncan & the kitchen staff tonight. The food was impeccable & so fresh & the drinks were amazing! You guys left an amazing impression on us that we want to comeback & experience it all over again. I highly recommend this place for fresh & delicious Italian inspired food.

i stopped in here after an afternoon of painting by the canal, & we were welcomed warmly. we weren't sure if we could just get a drink, & were told we would need to eat something, which we were happy to. we were escorted to the lively courtyard, where there was music playing & a festive atmosphere.

one of us got a beautiful little salad, one ordered calmari, one had the lobster ravioli & i had oysters & gaspacho. all were more than satisfied with the food.

but it was the attentive service & the vibe that made it special. two of our camarades left, but we stayed on to enjoy the atmosphere & have another glass of wine.

we'll be back!

The food, ambiance, service & drinks were all fantastic. Definitely recommend the seafood pasta & the purple speciality cocktail (I forget the name of it).
Really cozy restaurant, I would go back, they even had an opera singer who sang happy birthday, which was a fun & unique touch.

Great service & drinks, however sorry to concur that the food was a miss. Not sure the owner arguing in the comments is helping the situation…

Every dish lacked flavour; the ravioli was mushy but the shrimp around it tough & unseasoned. The focaccia was inedible without a dip in the balsamic. Not a single dish I would order again.

But lots of promise - especially with the great service & nice ambience.

Edit to reply to the owner's comment: I evaluated you fairly, pointing out the positives (service, drinks & atmosphere) but 2 stars overall because the food was bad. I go to a restaurant to eat so obviously my experience will be most heavily determined by the quality of the food, not how nice the waiters are. Hope that helps!
