"For lunch I slide into Buvette Scott, a cozy wine bar whose daily-changing, well-priced menu has earned a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand; the food is local, inventive and low-key enough to ease you into the city's culinary tempo." - Ty Gaskins

"A wine bar with strong ties to its city, this buvette is a place where people come for a pick-me-up: an intimate atmosphere, inviting decor, copper-clad bar, and a soundtrack of vinyl playing in the background. The inventive cuisine comes as small plates to share; choose about four. The menu, which changes daily, comprises classics such as cured duck or locally caught wild sea bass, cooked to perfection and served with roasted sweet peppers and turnips, bound together by the sweetness of a soft pear and a spicy ginger vinaigrette. There is a fine selection of wines, some produced locally and all at wallet-friendly prices." - Michelin Inspector

"Simple and affordable, Buvette Scott is an underground wine bar with a neo-bistro soul serving wine by the glass and spinning vinyl all night at the bottom of Scott Street. Chef and co-owner Jean-Philippe Lessard creates affordable fare from local ingredients and seasonal produce, and no dish stays on the menu for more than a week. Buvette Scott’s minuscule little brother, Sardines, is also worth checking out for its farmhouse cheese, canned sardines, and atmosphere that channels an easy-going Portuguese way of life." - Allison Van Rassel

"Enjoy natural wines by the glass and interesting Quebec beers at this casual, youthful bar in Quartier Saint-Jean-Baptiste. Beer lovers will love exploring the selection of the local small-batch brews on tap and by the bottle, from solid stouts like Le Puck to sour creations like the Blue Bell by La Souche. There is also a lovely selection of privately imported biodynamic and natural wines, all reasonably priced. If you're unsure where to begin, ask the staff for advice. The food goes beyond pub grub; in fact, it's some of the best in town. Chef and owner Jean-Philippe Lessard turns out dishes based on local, season ingredients, all meant to be shared with friends." - Todd Plummer, Isa Tousignant
