Hearty Quebec dishes and a distinctly Canadian setting. I ate there twice and it was a very enjoyable experience for all.

What a great experience. The space is totally unique - a rambling set of rooms, each with a unique atmosphere. Brunch was great - each of us tried the Cabane a Sucre plate. My Quebecois friends raved about cretons and I can see why! All delicious.

Yoan was amazing, the food was amazing and once you see the bathroom you will agree it is amazing! lol. If the rest of the staff was as fantastic as Yoan then you will have the best service in the city!

We're so glad that we chose to experience real Quebecois cuisine at La Buche. Especially loved the atmosphere, deer tartare, and of course, the poutine. Highly recommend this unique experience for first-timers like us to Quebec!

Food quality was average. Not a good rapport qualité/prix. Music loud - we were told by the waiter it wasn't loud and not possible to turn it down.

We had a wonderful experience at La Buche. The atmosphere was perfect for dinner with our two boys (9&11) and their grandfather. The meal was exceptional and our service was amazing by Diego, who even let the boys borrow a sharpie to leave their mark down in the washroom! Looking forward to returning to try more items on the menu:) Smoked trout salad, pate chinois and pate chinois nuggets were fantastic!

We had a wonderful experience dining at Restaurant La Buche. We stopped by for lunch and ordered the LA TOURTIÈRE FAÇON BÜCHE • Tourtière (Meat pie - duck, Nagano pork, "AAA" beef, served with creamy salad and fruits ketchup) and OREILLES DE CRISSE (Crispy porc rinds - Salted pork skin and drizzle with maple syrup). Both dishes tasted absolutely delicious! The meat pie was so flavourful and the top crust was flaky and buttery. We enjoyed the crispy pork rinds too (mix the rinds with maple syrup thoroughly or else it can taste very salty). Delicious food, friendly staff, good service and nice ambiance with interesting decorations!

We had a great late lunch at La Buche. We were expecting to have dinner, but their dinner menu does not start until 5. There were not many items to choose from on the menu. $24 for poutine seems high, but I have seen the same price elsewhere. Food was good. We were early so we got drinks at Happy Hour prices. Service was amazing cause we were the only table in there at some point. The ambience is awesome. Decor is amazing! So fun!!!

We visited La Buche at 8:00 PM on a packed Thursday night, and I’m so glad we booked online in advance, we were seated almost immediately despite the crowd. The energy in the room was high and vibrant, the decor had so many interesting details, making for a truly memorable atmosphere. We were pleasantly surprised when it was the co-proprietor (Mychael?) personally led us to a beautifully appointed table by the window. Our server was incredibly accommodating and welcoming, which really helped since this was our first time diving into authentic Quebecois cuisine. The food was a gastronomic and cultural revelation. We shared several dishes, and every single one hit the mark: * The Classics: The La Tourtière Facon Buche (duck, pork, beef meat pie) and Onion Soup were hearty and traditional. * The Starters: The Tartare de Cerf (deer tartar) and Croquettes de Pate (meat pie nuggets) offered a great introduction to local flavors. * The Mains: Both the Salmon Dylan Cabane and the Roti de Cochon (pork - so tender) were expertly prepared. While the pricing is on the higher side, the quality of the ingredients and the level of service make it a worthwhile splurge. It’s a fantastic spot if you want a lively, upscale take on French-Canadian comfort food. We haven't tried the other choices and we missed dessert so we definitely have a reason to come back!

Went today for lunch and ordered french onion soup and the steak and eggs. The French onion soup was in the deconstructed style but it didn’t feel like French onion soup - soup in a bowl and bread with cheese on the side. No Gruyère or bread in the soup itself, and most disappointingly the soup was lukewarm. It was not prepared with bread and cheese on top and cooked under broiler, it was simply poured into a cold bowl and served with barely warm bread with cheese no longer melted. Quite disappointing. The bread was nice but the flavour of soup was not well balanced and fell a bit flat, tasted too strongly of red wine. My girlfriend got the steak and eggs which was fine but a small portion on only one slice of bread and the steak seemed to be quite a cheap cut of meat and not very much of it. Also the atmosphere was only okay, the music choice was pretty bad. Floor was also very dirty with food scraps under the table and my butt had food crumbs on it when I stood up. The positives - our waiter was lovely, very friendly and listened to our less than perfect French.

We went this morning for breakfast with our two young children after friends recommended it and unfortunately we had a disappointing experience. Our server Xavier wasn’t personable, and had a bit of an attitude. It seemed as though as soon as he realized we weren’t ordering drinks, his interest in us rapidly declined. Although we were one of the first tables seated in his section, two tables were served before us. A big table of 6, and another 4-top. Harder to wait with two young kids in tow. No one check in to see how the food was until the very end. The hostess Audrey did try and end our experience in a positive way which we appreciated with some maple syrup poured on sticks. The kids really enjoyed this personal touch. The manager checked in with as well. Perhaps if Xavier is annoyed by English speaking tourists and/or serving families he should consider an alternative occupation. For the sake of future patrons and the restaurant we are hoping he was just having an off day. Having been a server/ bartender myself for over a decade, I can appreciate the importance of bringing forth a friendly personalized experience.

Food was delicious, but a bit too expensive for what it was. Traditional home cooking does not require such a mark up. Service was exceptional. Overall a great experience.
