Buvette Chez Simone

Bonjour! Nous n’avons malheuresement pas put avoir une place a cause du monde !
Cependant, l’endroit avait l’air tres sympathique !

Yep, still one of my favourite places to hang out in the city. Buvette just does it right. From their evolving wine list to their perfectly balanced cheese platters and sharable plates, this is my fav spot for a casual weekday hangout.
I believe all their waiters are trained sommeliers. I typically always ask for their suggestion, and it never disappoints.
The food is also on point, with lovely salads, small fish & meat dishes to share in addition to their famed cheese platters. If you’re feeling really hungry, go for the chicken and vegetables, which is tender and delicious.
This place tends to get very packed on weekends, so I recommend reserving or dropping in any weeknight instead. This spot is also ideal for a date or small group event.

Charming place to grab a glass of wine with your friends/​date. I came here on a friday night with a few of my friends and although it was bustling, it wasn’t an uncomfortable type of busy. We were given our own booth right away, and the waiter was extremely fast with the menu.
We decided to shared a bottle of white upon the waiter’s recommendation and a plate of charcuterie. The food was actually quite good and very reasonable in price. They also have a number of other shareable tapas.

Having been a regulars at Pullman for sometime now, I’ve gotta admit that I’m slightly jealous of everyone that lives close to this place. If you’re in the mile-​end and looking for a relaxing night to catch up with friends, Chez Simone is an excellent spot.
P. s. theres no sign at the door so the place is a little hard to find. (it’s got a patio out front with potted plants)

I was visiting Montréal and stumbled upon this cozy place. It was an energetic scene and we felt at home. We tried several glasses of different wines and each one was great. Our server was super friendly. We told him we were visiting the area and he provided us some recommendations for restaurants and bars. We also ordered the cheese platter which was incredible. The goat cheese and cheddar cheeses were amazing. The prices are extremely reasonable as well, we let the waiter select the wines for us so we were a little scared when the bill came but they were reasonably priced ($ 8 – 10 can$ per glass and $ 6 for a cheese plate). Anyone staying in the area has to check out this wine bar.

Very charming wine bar with excellent service and delicious food and wine. I was visiting from out of town and don’t speak much French, and the bartender was incredibly nice and gave me a bunch of recommendations on wine, cheeses, and charcuterie. I also met a very friendly gentleman at the bar who gave me some great recommendations for things to do around Montréal. All the wines and food I tried were excellent, and so was the experience. Thanks for being so welcoming, Buvette!

First time coming here with my date.
Ordered half chicken with veggies and some drinks. If you order chicken I guarantee you will love it
Didn’t have wine so I can’t rate on that.

We got this as a recommendation from a another restaurant we were at, otherwise I would have walked right past this place. It’s very simple concept — wine bar with a paired down menu, but executed perfectly. They had excellent selections of wine by the glass, the waiters were knowledgeable and were able to recommend things based on our tastes. We got a few charcuteries and cheeses and a roast chicken which was amazing, like I said very simple but great wines and great ingredients that speak for themselves.
Laid back atmosphere, great lighting. Highly recommend and would go back.

Fantastic experience. Wine was inexpensive, but good quality. Everything we ordered was excellent — cheese, charcuterie, chicken. I think I’ll have dreams about the duck hearts for months to come.

Excellent food, great selection of wine, good jazzy house vibes courtesy of the DJ… Great décor.
Definitely check this place out and try the chicken.

In a city that seems to be in constant flux, Buvette is shockingly consistent.
No matter what day of the week, or time of day you visit, it somehow always manages to feel like 7:30pm on a Thursday in some continental metropolis. It’s never so full you can’t find a seat, yet, it is never «dead». You will never be the best looking person there, but you will always feel better looking for being there. The staff will always appear to be having more fun than you, regardless of how much fun you are having.
Whatever you order will be just fine (unless you order the cider – and I’m really hoping it just happened to be a bad batch). The plates pair nicely with each other, so you can order without feeling the need to curate. The staff will be helpful if you have questions, and yet slightly intimidating.
If sounds like I live here, I don’t – I’ve only been a dozen or so times, but each occasion has been entirely different.
I’ve come here for an afternoon snack, after work drinks, a quick bite before heading out, a quick bite after heading out, actual heading out, and I’ve even managed to stay until closing once.
I’ve brought friends from out of town, friends from town, friends that moved away, friends that just arrived, friends-​of-​friends, made friends there, brought clients, brought a date. Same Buvette.
And yet, for whatever reason, it’s not a place I’m completely fanatical about. A good choice for most occasions because it does what it does so well, but there are definitely other places.
If you’re looking for a wine bar in the neighbourhood with a good kitchen that’s open late, Buvette is a solid bet.

Outstanding, had 4 different servers waiting on us. Food recommendations were right on… Plus they were friendly. I’ll be back next time to Montréal!

C’est cher. C’est bon. Belle clientèle de jeunnes professionnels sexy. Trop bruyant. Arrivez tot si vous voulez y entrer

Its loud and dimly lit ambiance is perfectly fitting for the city at night.
The flavours in the food are incredible, perfect with a bottle of wine. The liver pâté is excellent, as well as the beans.
Highly recommended. I have yet to try the dessert.

I enjoy this place when you want something a little nicer but not pretentious to spend a few hours in with good wine in hand. They have a large wine list with decently priced glasses and bottles, good food, and good service. It can get loud on a Friday or Saturday night, but that’s expected at a place like this!
Overall, perfectly nice place. Just not the best/​top of my list!

Très bonne ambiance! Plats délicieux et originaux! On s’y sent bien rapidement. Serveurs sympas!

Start with the oysters served with a «Bloody Caesar» sauce. They were incredibly light & fresh. There were 2 of us & we got 4 ½ portions of meat and 3 cheeses with a small Greek salad to split. That was plenty of food and with a liter bottle of their house white, the bill was still under a hundred dollars.
Service was fantastic. Jared took great care of us and sitting on the patio meant the music coming from inside didn’t overpower the ability to have a conversation.
Great spot for dinner & drinks with a date or a group of friends.

Excellent! Not to be missed! The atmosphere and wine all make a great combination … def a cool neighbourhood bar!

Love the set up of this place! Might be one of the best wine bars I have been to. To call it a wine bar would be limiting. They offer a good selection of cocktails and beer as well.
But alcohol is easy do right if you do your home work. Where this place excels is in it’s food offerings! Everything on the menu is very tasty and fresh. Well thought out menu, from the fish balls to the salads.
Looking for a great evening in a hip part of town, this is the spot. Lively crowd, a bit on the louder side of things. «I am sorry, I did not catch that» «I said, I think we should order another bottle of wine!»

Super spot. Pour boire un bon verre de vin et manger des petits plats à partager c’est l’idéal. Pour moi buvette chez Simone rime avec super apero.

Was there last night /​it was hopping !
Spent my first night here after a year away from Montréal. Love this spot. Relaxed, good food, cheap drink, solid music and genuinely good fun. Glad to see it hasn’t changed.

Absolutely love this place. It has a great atmosphere (I have only been on two occasions when visiting from Toronto) and has a lovely vibe especially with the circular bar where you can see everyone.
Great selection of wines and an attentive staff… just wish there was a place like this in TO.

This is my favorite wine bar in town. Always a great selection of wines to discover — you can go for a «half glass» if you want to try many, and awesome bouchées to pair with — cod fritters, cold cuts and cheese, my favorite stuff in the world. Loud but cozy, perfect for an evening with friends. Always packed, even on week nights. But yummy! And very affordable prices.

Je suis allé dans ce petit bar avec un ami après avoir lu de bonne critiques sur Unilocal.La serveuse était vraiment très sympathique, l’ambiance était conviviale et la faune diversifiée. Je me serais senti à l’aise en complet, autant qu’en t-​shirt de band obscur.
La sélection de vin au verre était fort agréable (une dizaine de blanc et la même quantité de rouge).
Quand la première chose qu’on me sert est un grand verre d’eau avant même de commander quoi que ce soit, ça me donne soif d’alcool et ça m’indique que le service est porté sur le soucis du détail… J’adore!

Very nice place. Good wines. Having wine flights and paring options would be nice.

Personnellement, pour un endroit reconnu comme étant un bar à vin, j’ai été déçue. Une ambiance et un décor de taverne, des tables jointes qui offrent peu d’intimité (j’imagine que pour certains, c’est caractérisé comme étant convivial???) et des plats à la bonne franquette (saucisses, poulet, etc. Rien pour nous marquer malheureusement)…
Points positifs? Un bon service.
Tout de même, c’est un endroit ou il serait parfait d’aller pour un souper entre amis ou une bouffe de fin de soirée (leurs cuisines sont ouvertes très tard).

This place is so cute. The vibe here is very relaxed and cool, the crowd is hip, the food was great, and the prices were decent. The servers were very accommodating and friendly, and were willing to explain everything to us… in English!
We had a meat and cheese platter. The pâté was sooo creamy and tasty and the smoked meat was pretty good as well. I loved that it came with fruits instead of pickled veggies, which is what Toronto platters usually come with.
We also got the greek salad and the rotisserie chicken. The chicken was okay. And the greek salad was a cool twist on the traditional salad — there’s no lettuce or greens. Just chopped up veggies — tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peppers — in a salad form with a generous serving of fresh feta.
The only downside is that there’s very limited seating and it may take you a long while before you can get a seat, especially on a weekend. That’s okay though, because there’s usually some spots at the bar where you can squish in and grab a drink and some food while you wait.

5 etoiles pour mon bar prefere a Montréal !
Tout y est positif: de la terrasse a l interieur au décor sobre mais original, de la fameuse biere cream ale aux frites avec mayonnaise divine au paprika
et quel service ! merci pour l accueil au sourire permanent
vite qu on y retourne !

Great place for a 5 à 7 between friends! Surtout les jeudis, il y a pasmal de monde qui proviennent d’horizons différents, mais davantage dans le milieu artistique. La sélection de vin est excellente et j’ai essayé l’accra comme entrée. Délicieux!
Les fromages également sont de qualité et les prix abordables.
Sympatique!

Vraiment sympa comme destination pour des 5 à 7 sur le plateau! Avec le bar au milieu, l’ambiance est au rendez vous avec de la bonne musique, un bon verre de vin et des bonnes bouchées! Le menu est divisé en charcuteries, poisson, antipasto, fromages et la rôtissoire ou le poulet est un must! On a le choix de choisir une portion ou demi portion afin de pouvoir goûter à plusieurs plats. Les serveurs s’y connaissent bien dans leur sélection d’alcool et sauront bien vous conseiller. Une destination de choix à rajouter à votre liste de happy hour!

L’ambiance est tjrs très bonne!
Les accras de morues sont particulièrement bon.
À visiter et revisiter

Mes attentes étaient pas mal hautes avant même d’y aller pour une première fois. Tous mes amis me disaient «Marie-​Pier, tu vas adoré ça. C’est tellement ton genre de place.» J’avais un peu peur de né pas aimé autant que ce qu’on s’attendait de moi, mais oui, c’est bel et bien mon genre de place. L’ambiance est super, à la fois relaxe et adulte. Le focus de cet endroit a vraiment l’air d’être la sélection des vins mais j’ai choisit un bon verre rafraîchissant de cidre. J’ai goûté aux vins de quelques amis et ils étaient super! La prochaine fois, c’est ça que je prends, garanti! De plus, la nourriture a l’air délicieuse. En fait, l’étoile qui manqué est simplement pour que je puisse y retourner et évaluer avec justesse la bouffe que l’on y présente.

Je suis allé boire un verre sur la terrasse de ce bar à vin l’été dernier et j’ai été agréablement surpris par la qualité du service et les prix raisonnables pratiqués par l’établissement. En effet, l’ambiance très conviviale de ce bar à vin, qui attirent en général une clientèle plus sophistiquée, pour né pas dire snob, m’a plu d’emblée. Ensuite, bien que je né me souvienne plus du nom du vin que j’ai choisi, j’ai à tout le moins le souvenir que c’était très bon. J’ai par la suite commandé une bière commerciale, une Carlesberg, que j’aurais pu commander dans n’importe quel bar, mais qui n’en était pas moins rafraichissante. Bref, c’est un petit bar sans prétention où il vaut la peine de s’arrêter.

A né pas manquer ! Restaurant de type tapas.
Les portions sont comprises entre 3 $CAD et 19 $CAD pour le jarret d’agneau confit sur son lit de purée. Excellent ! On y trouve des portions de charcuteries (Rillettes de canard, Rosette de Lyon, …), de poissons (accra de morue, Maquereau en escabèche, …), de fromage, de salade et rôtisserie.
Il y a du choix au niveau de la carte des vins (20 à 50 $CAD)
Le cadre est agréable. Je vous recommande d’arriver avant 19h30 pour trouver des places assisses. Possibilité de manger au comptoir.
Le service est de qualité professionnelle.
