Restaurant La Buche

This place was amazing! I would rate it 4.5 out of 5 stars only because the table my partner and I had was too small and uncomfortable. It also became a bit warm after it started to fill up with patrons and air flow was not the greatest. These things aside, the food was incredible and the service was great! Our server Isabelle provided great suggestions and was very pleasant.

I made a reservation for LaBuche and confidently walked up to the host stand to be seated, but it turned out I made the reservation for the next evening. Oops! It turned out okay because I was solo and they seated me at the bar. All of the staff including the host, waiters, and bartender all continually checked in on me and were so happy and personable. I don’t know how I put down so much food on my own but I did—and it was delicious!! I understand the hype, for sure. The maple pie was my favorite dish. I hope I can make it back in the future!

Chicken waffle: Chicken is too dried, probably overcooked. The waffle and sauce are good. Tastes overall okay. Breakfast poutine: $24 for a handful of hashes, cheese and bacon. Totally not worth the value. It tastes okay. Duck wings: okay. Sauce is sweet. Dishes for brunch and lunch ordered by 3pm have coffee/tea included. Service: they are too busy to take care every table well. My coffee refill was being missed for 30 minutes. I only get refilled at the last minute before getting the bill. The interior is well designed, nostalgic to old American style.
