Cute spot! Came for the spectra menu. Overall food was good, but nothing wow. The arancini was very bland, the Milanese chicken was my favourite but I did find all the veggies ok the side were quite oily. Calamari was good, but even the sauce with it was lacking some punch or spice. The beef was good, but it was served with a red wine sauce that was very bland as well. The dessert was a very nice presentation, but average & generic taste.
Price point was good, but nothing quite stood out. Service was very good! Only leaving 4 stars because when we got home, we opened our take out with the leftovers & they gave us someone else's food… otherwise the staff was very nice & friendly, knew the items on the menu well.
The ambiance is cute inside with nice decor, if I came back I would try a few different wines & a couple of entrees to share, it would be a nice place to sit & relax with someone, not too loud inside.
Also they do have a first come first serve basis parking lot in the back which is convient for Griffintown!
Not sure what was best, Juliette's service or the tuna crudo ? The wine was the perfect combination to the charcuterie board & incredible sea food pasta. Thank you !
We came to Sauce for our Valentine's Dinner. We loved it!
The food was outstanding & the atmosphere was cozy & warm. We live in the neighborhood (Pt St Charles) & wanted to try Sauce. We found it interesting that it was connected to an adjacent restaurant that had live music & shows.
Our party of 4 was thrilled. The entrees were generous & flavorful. Chef Dom even came out & greeted us at our table.
The wine selection was excellent & the service was impeccable.
We are so pleased to have had this experience & will return for another special occasion.

The food was just okay.
The wine list was limited, especially the wine selection by the glass for a wine bar/buvette.
The service was fine. The wine list is nearly exclusively Italian wines, but we had no real presentation of the wines, a focus on Italian varietals or terroir. The decision to limit the wine list to Italian wines didn't seem to match the rest of the restaurant & wasn't a plus, as far as making the experience special/interesting/unique.
We wouldn't recommend it, nor consider going back, at the price point & the fantastic selection of restaurants in Montreal.
I've been to Sauce Buvette du Quartier many times, & every visit is unforgettable.
Every time I go, I have to order the Bresaola, the whipped ricotta, & their calamari they never miss. I've also been getting the lobster-filled ravioli with an order of focaccia, & it's absolutely insane.
What makes it even more impressive is that there's only one person in the kitchen. Domenico cooks everything himself, Wednesday to Saturday, lunch & dinner.
Then there's the cocktail & wine list such a unique variety. I always order the Il Carbonaione, & it's the perfect pairing with the lobster ravioli.
Best part about this is is that it had free parking at the back no need to find a parking lot on the street!😊
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.
I am not one to usually write reviews, but let me tell you Sauce deserves it ! ✨ We'd heard good things from friends & went with our little group to experience the restaurant ourselves. Some of us had wine (they have a vast selection) & others cocktails. I had the Purple Rain & totally recommend it !! The food was amazing & so so TASTY ! We shared appetizers & mains. Portions are perfect for sharing if you want to taste more than one thing on their menu. The calamari was so fresh & my favorite starter & loved loooved the Branzino 🐟 ! The staff was incredibly friendly & attentive !! The Chef even sent bigger dessert portions knowing we were a group so we could all have a good taste of everything ! They even offered us Limoncello to finish the evening. To add to our beautiful experience, the restaurant's ambiance is welcoming & warm, the decorations are so well-thought & curated, & so was the music. I totally recommend 🍝✨👏🏼 !!!
A new GEM in Griffintown! I just found my new go-to spot! SAUCE delivers on all fronts-delicious food all around, a well-priced wine list featuring private imports, & generous portions that leave you fully satisfied. The atmosphere is warm & welcoming, making it the perfect place to unwind with friends or enjoy a great meal. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this spot is definitely worth a visit. Can't wait to go back!
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.
