Buvette Scott

This place is cozy, nostalgic and full of heart. The staff here added to the charm - they were genuinely welcoming and took the time to walk us through the menu. They made thoughtful recommendations around my food allergies and explained how ingredients were sourced. I could tell that they really knew (and loved) the food that they were serving. We thoroughly enjoyed the dishes that we ordered, and the oysters were the best I’ve had years. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

So much for Michelin gourmand… Only the shrimp dish out of the three we tried was decent. The beef tartar had potential except for the chewy bits. The swordfish dish recommended by the staff was simply a disaster. The fish is not grilled nor seared with a real off putting texture. Finally the service also felt forced and disingenuous.

AMAZING! Food was incredible, service was exceptional (big ups to Etienne!! 😇), great atmosphere. Our favourite resturaunt in the city - a must visit when we return to QC. Seafood platter was exceptional. Yummy oysters, 6 for $16. Sea urchin (uni) was so, so, so good. It was so complex, but so well done. Scallops were great too. We tried duck ham, which my partner enjoyed. Rabbit pasta was fantastic. With a little less salt it would have been absolutely perfect. Service was amazing. I could tell that hosts, servers, bartender, all really cares about their customers’ experience. They talked to all customers, asking them how they were doing, what they could add, making small talk. It was really great to watch. Restaurant is quaint (book online and in advance! We almost did not get a spot). Reserve at least two weeks in advance! Fantastic music playing at all times. Open kitchen concept, so fun to watch chefs at work.

What a fantastic gem of a spot! I arrived at 9pm on a Thursday evening sans reservation, and they kindly accommodated me with a table outside. Service was so attentive and pleasant, and every item I ate was truly delicious and clearly made with love! I'll certainly return next time I'm in Quebec City!

Probably one of my favorite dinner experiences ever! Alexandra recommended some fantastic wines to pair with the food we ordered. Lovely location too!

Every aspect of this restaurant was impeccable, and we found nothing even minuscule to complain about. The vibe was cozy and intimate. The food was inventive yet comforting, truly mind blown from every dish, even to the focaccia and the pickles! My absolute favorite was the lobster crouton. They change their menu based on whatever is freshly available, and make everything from scratch in house. This place definitely felt more local, and servers were super friendly. We were overjoyed to have found this hidden gem during our trip.

Found a gem on a side street. A delicious assortment of choices. Not a place to eat if you are in a hurry. Relax, enjoy.

The food was exceptional, and our lovely waitress recommended ordering half the cart, which seemed plentiful for four people. However, I feel ordering individual dishes would have been better, as some items, like the fish, were difficult to share in such small portions. While the food, ambiance, and service were wonderful, the sharing option isn't ideal for a group of four. Even nearby diners mentioned feeling hungry. It’s sad to leave with a $358 bill and still feel hungry. This option might work better for smaller groups or individual orders. But thank you for the lovely evening

Genuinely one of the best places I've ever eaten at. And I eat out A LOT. Sometimes when you take a bite, you can tell that it's just a job for the chef. This was not the case here. Not to be cliche, but it was love at first bite. I'm always chasing the next "food high" (I like to call it). It's the feeling you get when the world stops and it's just you, the food and the chef--when you can taste the artistry and passion put into every dish. Not a spec is out of place. It's the moment when Igor tries Remi's ratatouille. If that's what you're looking for, come here. When I left, it was half past closing and Chef was still cooking.

This was my last meal on QC and I believe one of the best if not the best. I lucked up and got a seat at the bar. The place is small and intimate with a warm vibe. I ordered 2 things the Chantrelle (sp) mushrooms dish, the pasta with pork ragu and the strawberry shortcake. The mushroom was so good I could have drank the broth, the pasta was cooked perfectly with a unique flavor. Lastly, the strawberry shortcake was fresh and not overly sweet. I left with a full belly and happy heart. If I am ever in QC again this place will be on the list.

In a nutshell: local, delicious and highly recommended. We were lucky to snag a reservation (and suggest you do as well!). We had a table right in the middle of the restaurant ideal for taking in the very relaxed space and seeing tasty dishes float by on their way to other diners. The staff was super friendly and really knowledgeable about their extensive wine list. Bang for your buck recommendation: get a recommendation on a Canadian wine that suits your tastes and go for a bottle. We had a killer Pinot Noir from outside of Montreal that hit all the right notes for the meal. And what a meal! Over summer, the staff spent time packaging sunshine for later to drop on your plate and remind you of warmer times. Their work became a memorable canned tomato and fermented pepper sauce for the ricotta gnocchi that made below freezing February feel like peak summer for a few moments. Other highlights were delicious lions main mushrooms and a beet and turnip dish, both with delectable sauces. All topped off with a cake/cheesecake and raspberry sauce (more packaged sunshine) dessert paired with a little pour of white Jura dessert wine - another phenomenal recommendation.

This is one of those restaurants where you know going into it that it's going to be an AMAZING overall experience. We sat at the bar, which I highly recommend. I feel like it gave a more personalized, intimate experience! They really made us feel like we were dining with an old friend! Our server/bartender was amazing!! He paired wine suggestions perfectly with the various things we ordered, and he gave us a glass of this DELICIOUS wine that he went and got specially for us from their wine storage. They were also playing vinyl and having so much fun putting on different records, adding even more to the cool, fun, but cozy atmosphere. We ordered a bunch of different things, and everything was so well-crafted and perfectly executed. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the beef tartare. Definitely the best I've ever had. It was so tempting to try everything on the menu - and we almost did! This truly wasn't just *any* restaurant. This was an EXPERIENCE and one of the best ones at that. Buvette Scott, I will be back!!!

This restaurant does the shared plate thing and we sampled the foccacia, Pickled vegetables, spaghetti pasta with a pork meatball, beef tartar, and a bisque with potato. It was quaint and family style.

I recently dined at Buvette Scott, and while the food was decent, the experience was overshadowed by rude service and frustratingly slow pacing. Dishes were served one at a time, with 20-30 minute gaps between each small plate. After nearly two hours of waiting, I asked for the check, even though we hadn't received our final dish. Instead of apologizing, the maître d' dismissively informed me that "this is supposed to be a 2.5 to 3-hour experience" and that "we're not in America here." This comment felt not only unnecessary but downright obnoxious. While the restaurant may pride itself on creating a leisurely European-style dining experience, the execution came across as neglectful and inconsiderate. Unless you enjoy prolonged waiting for tiny portions and don't mind condescension from staff, I cannot recommend Buvette Scott.

Food is phenomenal. We can taste the chefs' passion for their work. Hats off to their creativity. We enjoyed our experience immensely. Too bad we live too far to go back for more

Fine dining atmosphere with friendly wait staff. Menu is share plates on pricey side with small but tasty menu items. My dessert was disappointing, rhubarb cake with crème fraiche. I was expecting to taste the tartness of rhubarb, but no, on the sweet side with only a sliver of cooked rhubarb on top. Wine and cider pours were approximately 1/3 of a glass. At least 1/2 glass full would have been better. Overall a good dining experience.

We had dinner for 4. The restaurant is very cozy. The food was great, the waitstaff very helpful. We had nearly everything on the menu. We enjoyed it all and would highly recommend.

On my first trip to Quebec City in many years, I had planned to make sure to eat many of its staples: crepes, poutine, meat pies, etc. Ultimately, though most of my experiences were an exercise in trying something new, they failed to truly impress me. Duck confit crepes are great! But I can live without having tried it. Looking at Buvette Scott's menu didn't immediately scream QUEBEC CITY to me (please, correct me if I'm wrong!), but by the end of my trip I really just wanted to have a great meal. Luckily I happened to come at a fantastic time: the first radish harvest of the year, which was heavily featured in two of the three dishes I ended up ordering. My first dish was the most radish-forward of the trio. I think the best way to describe it would be as leafy radish with more frills attached. Here, I learned that what can be construed as "blandness" from fresh radish can actually become a fantastic canvas for other flavours. The tahini was less nutty than some of the best tahini I have had, but that was not to its detriment. In my opinion, a very strong tahini would have masked the beautiful natural taste of this radish. Truly, good food starts with the ingredients. Next, I had a scallop dish, with a lettuce cream, radish, and most surprisingly: roe. The cream was unbelievable -- really all I need to say. I had actually asked the server to pick my meal -- so each dish was a surprise, and the final one of the night was one that I had been hoping he would choose: ravioli with a shrimp bisque. The ricotta that filled the ravioli was homemade -- and I could tell! Absolutely delicious, and the sauce was good enough that I could have had it alone as a soup. Really couldn't have capped my trip any better, and both the food and vibes were perfect. I plan on being back in the city soon, and will make sure to visit Buvette Scott again.

Sat at bar---bartender/waiter was great at explaining the menu. Small tapas style and everything was amazing. A must try in Quebec City

Decided to try this place out after seeing all the 5 star reviews on yelp and it definitely deserves 5 stars!! Excellent and friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and you can tell the food was prepared with love. We tried most of the items on the menu and my favourite was definitely the Arctic char! So smooth, soft, and tasty! So good we ordered a second order. Will definitely be back next time!

I was shocked that I got a 3-star experience at a place with a 4.8-star rating. The glass of wine is $12, the pour size is so small that I can finish in 1 sip. All the dishes portions are so small but charge full entree price. I came because of the reviews, but I walked out regrettably. Only the duck ham was charged reasonably. The bill was $145 for 2, we left hungry.

When you walk into this place, the warmth and intimacy grab you right away. This place has about 25 chairs total ensuring you will be the focus of the house. Our reservations were for 5:30, which was ideal because it was the same time as their oyster special. 2 dozens oysters please. The oysters were well shocked and came with lemon wedges and a pickle mignonette. Then we were off to try the duck ham and the pork pressé. Both were very good and the duck ham being like a unique jamón serrano. For our mains, we shared the lions mane mushrooms, the pappardelle, the white sausage and beans, the crusiferous, and the fried walleye. The standouts were certainly the lions mane and the white sausage. We finished our meals with the pear sorbet and the almond cake. The unique beer selection was also a great surprise. I highly recommend this place.

The food was creative and so well done; we were blown away! Very friendly staff, cozy room, and great wine selection by the glass. Can't say enough about how good this place is!

Truly deserves a 5 star rating!!! Buvette Scott is a quant, upscale restaurant located in Old Quebec. As soon as we walked in, we knew we made the right choice for dinner: the restaurant was fully booked and everyone there was a local French Canadian. The people there looked like they frequent this restaurant, AKA, this is where the locals go! We realized that the menu changes every day, it is written in French on the chalkboard. Our waiter, Dave, was absolutely super. He brought us a menu in English and gave us time to think about it. While not all of the words translated perfectly to English, we were genuinely excited about what we were about to eat! Dave recommended we try an orange wine--he shared that it comes from a special grape grown in Italy that gives an orange color. I can hands down say this was the best wine I have ever tried. I wish I had bought a bottle then and there. The food was delicate and scrumptious. Each meal was prepared with love and served one at a time. The potato dish was a perfect balance of tomato and herb flavors. The homemade Ragu was melt in your mouth soft. I believe it was accompanied with veal and this was the most juicy and tender veal I have had the pleasure of enjoying. The dessert was astounding and I felt the touch of every local ingredient: a nearby farm's maple syrup, pure pears, etc. An excellent execution of flavor and texture. All in all, top of the line cuisine. And even though we were the only non-Quebec people dining, I felt we were treated equally and with adequate attention. We would love to dine again at Buvette Scott!

Considering this is one of the top rated Yelp joints in Canada, I wasn't really feeling that it lived up to that standard. While the entree options were interesting, I wouldn't say the meal blew me away. We started with oysters. These were fresh and tasty. I found the duck heart dish to be interesting and the flavors to be unique. But at the end of the day I didn't think the duck hearts tasted much better than a normally executed skirt steak. We also ordered dessert and espresso, both of which were enjoyable.

Really extraordinary food from this small neighborhood restaurant. The produce used was all locally grown and extraordinarily fresh. The taste of each ingredient leapt off the plate. The host is very gracious and accommodating. Definitely give this place a try!

Fantastic local restaurant tucked away on an incline. Call ahead to make reservations - this place is packed! Lovely service (despite being a foreign visitor, so fear not if you were concerned from previous reviews!). Dishes were very innovative and delicious and I'm terribly sad I've left Quebec. Oysters were great, risotto was also amazing! Great menu that changes so you're always in for a treat. Toffee dessert was a dream. Buvette Scott definitely earned its high Yelp rating. You must go!

One of the most memorable meals of our trip! Service was so friendly and helpful, and we got great recommendations on wine. Tried several things and each one was delicious and unique. The space is so cozy and comfortable, almost feels like being at a friend's house.

We had a delicious meal here. It's tiny and very cute. The service is wonderful and friendly. The food is super interesting so we tried new things like duck ham. The radish dish was spectacular.

I was nervous about trying this restaurant because a lot of the pictures on Yelp feature various meats, and I learn toward vegetarian. I also worried that as an American they might be annoyed with me. The street it is on is steep, and with the ice, I thought I might kill myself! And the restaurant was tiny. I had to wait for my reservation. BUT OMG. First, they were so nice and offered me a menu in English. And then I was there for 3 hours. I'm not sure I've ever had a dinner last so long, but it was actually perfect. The time between courses allowed me not to become stuffed, and everything was delicious! Not pretentious. Just fresh, delicious food! I would try to describe it, but I know I won't be able to name what was in each dish. Just go! Make reservations and leave plenty of time and go!!!

One of the best meals we've ever had. The pecorino spaghetti is something I'll dream about for awhile. Tasting portions allowed us to try many menu items. The duck ham was also a big hit!

I am glad we found this restaurant which is a little bit off the beaten path. We ordered oysters, Nordic shrimp, snow crab and beef tongue. They were very well prepared. It is a delicacy experience during our visit in Quebec. Very impressed!

There are not many restaurants like this one. They deliver a spectacular fine dining experience in medium sized dishes to be shared. Despite the creative and thoughtful menu which changes regularly, the vibe is entirely casual focused on good food and great wine/ beer moreover than on any pretense or requisite stuffy decorum. Our waiter described each dish in abundant detail. We had a spectacular sparkling wine for which I cannot for the life of me provide a just description. Something about no sulfites? Whatever it was, it was served perfectly chilled, and often. In order , we had oysters from New Brunswick served with an apple mignonette, homemade bread and maitre d'hotel butter, zucchini and onion bhaji served on an eggplant puree, a charcuterie and cheese plate, a gnocchi dish, and an arctic char dish. We finished with a strawberry and creme anglaise clafoutis. It was all extraordinary. After finishing the bottle of sparkling wine and ordering another couple of glasses of the same beverage, we wanted to cap the night off with a digestif. We asked the waiter what they had to offer us and he simply replied "Do you want me to bring you sweet things? " You don't say no to a question like that, and you don't ask any further questions. You just say yes and trust that something good is about to happen. He brought us a sweet vermouth made from macerated apples. Served chilled, it was sweet yet slightly bitter. Just perfect and unique. We had him top up our glasses a second time before leaving this cherished establishment highly buzzed with smiles on our faces. This is the type of experience that nourishes the soul. The food is spectacular and served in small enough portions that you can sample eight or nine dishes. It is also extremely inexpensive in relation to the quality and expertise that clearly goes into the preparation. Appetizers are all under $10 and the main courses if you want to call it that are for the most part under $20. The small restaurant was packed to capacity and had to turn away those diners brazen enough to attempt a visit without a reservation. You should not leave Quebec without a visit here!

Fantastic service with mouthwatering food. This cozy restaurant creates a relaxing feel. The waiters are out of this worldly friendly. To start, we ordered bread and butter along with some marinated vegetables (great appetizers). Then, some fresh oysters from PEI to tie us over until entrées arrived. We felt adventurous and tried dishes with rabbit kidneys and duck livers. They turned out amazing with the right texture and flavour. This wonderful meal ended on an even higher note with maple glazed donut with big chucks of walnuts. Wow. Just wow! We ordered another one of these donuts because the first one was just not enough.

I was in town for a conference, staying at the Delta Marriott down the street. I opened Yelp to find somewhere closeby to get some good food. Buvette Scott was closeby and had very good reviews so I decided to walk there. Small chalkboard on the sidewalk was inviting, offering half price oysters. It's a small place, but very comfortable and casual. I sat at the bar because I was by myself. Etienne greeted me. He was bartending, but then I learned he was also serving, and running food. I ordered several plates of food - different courses, along with drinks. Etienne was one of the most attentive people I have encountered in a restaurant. He was extremely polite, knowledgeable, and had a very keen sense of exactly when he was needed or not. His English was very good, thankfully for me. He was intimately familiar with the bar and food menus, but also had a vast knowledge and understanding of all kinds of things. He was able to hold a good conversation no matter what the topic. The chefs in the kitchen were busting their butts while keeping everything super clean, neat, and organized. It was amazing to watch how much they could get done in such a small space. That first night (I went back the next night for more) I enjoyed an excellent glass of Barbera with New Brunswick Oysters on the half shell, an incredible creamy endive salad with mango and orange, and sauteed duck hearts with an incredible rosti (hashbrown) served up with rich flavorful reductions made in house. I was intrigued by the house-made charcuterie platter, so I asked for a taste of that. Etienne put together a nice little plate for me with some fresh sourdough bread he had made earlier that day. Unbelievable. I had more oysters for dessert along with a special Negroni digestif that I could not reproduce even if I tried. It is very unusual for me to go to the same restaurant twice when visiting somewhere. But I had to. I returned to Buvette Scott the next night. Started with oysters and loved them. Cracked fresh to order. Chef Tony Rock was in the house, along with Etienne, the other Chef (big beard, bad ass dude), and another very high energy server/bartender whose name escapes me now. I ate more oysters, a hand made pasta dish with anchovies, almonds, basil, and egg - all fresh, presented beautifully, and full of flavor. Again I sat at the bar and observed, and listened. The staff worked like a well oiled machine. The kitchen was impeccable. The communication was outstanding. The music on the record player hit the spot. Etienne hooked me up with his special Negroni (best I've had). Time was so well spent. I enjoyed it and already recommended the restaurant to a few colleagues who live locally. I will go back if/when I get the chance. Special thanks to the crew for everything! Keep up the great work! Jason

Walked with a warm welcome. The restaurant is small, holding about no more than 30 people, but that's what makes its environment that much better. Definitely try to come before 7 pm to take advantage of their fantastic oysters at a good price. 1/$1.50 itd be hard to find another place with such a great deal with that quality. My boyfriend and I ordered a dozen and ended up ordering another half dozen. The bison was incredibly tasty and wish I had more of it. It encourages us to order a second dish...the fiddlehead, which was cooked well and had well balanced earthy flavors that were refreshing after the meaty bison. The prices seem fair, but just realize that each dish is served more like tapas size, rather than entree. Overall, excellent dinner.

Best dining experience I have ever had! Warm, friendly environment and the owners really get to know you. So unique and original. Cannot wait to come back!

This was our favorite restaurant during our trip to Canada. Service was just excellent. Our Food was so delicate and tasty!! We split our time between COnnecticut and New York, where Oysters Are a very important part of our food routine, and I have to say that their oysters are the BEST oysters that I had in my life! We sat at the bar and it was super cool to witnessed the kitchen activity. There were two guys in the kitchen who had everything figured it out. They really know what they are doing! Food is just incredible! I am looking forward to go back to Quebec City just to visit this place again. Plus... AMAZING MUSIC.

I went here because I was living nearby for a month and noticed that it seemed packed. Looked it up on yelp and saw the 5-star average review so decided to give it a try. My brother told me that the owner used to be his neighbour, so this is a locally-owned bar where they also serve food. We called to reserve a table, and were happy we did because it is a small place and got packed quite early. We ordered a few drinks, which were good. The food was not as good as people described it though. They have a menu that often changes, so the menu was written on the board (you can snap a picture of it if you don't want to end up with bad head neck / torticoli). We tried their 3 tomatoes salad (rating 4/5), their pasta (2.5-3/5), and a plate of maquereau (3.5/5). My friend also ordered the pasta and did not enjoy it.. The staff were nice but it was a bit hard to get their attention because they were only two and were quite busy. The table next to us ordered the feasan which looked really good, to share for 2 ppl. Maybe we did not pick the right meals, but when the salad is the best part of your meal. I would come back for a drink, but not for a full meal. May I had high expectations because almost everyone gave it a 5 star.

We walked in around 5:30 on a Friday night and were met with a friendly 'bon jour' when they realized we didn't speak French they were very accommodating. The food and was amazing! Their handcrafted bread (from their sister restaurant, Sardine's) paired with cultured butter was delicious. The duck ham (yes!) was served with fermented mustard seeds and a perfect appetizer. The mozzarella Spumante was incredible! Like eating a soft meringue made from mozzarella. Truly a unique and memorable dining experience!

We went without a reservation and were faced with a rude employee whose attitude is what transpires this review. He spoke French to us and when we said we do not understand he proceeded to respond with an edgy tone, that this is a French country and how can he know that we don't speak the language. Of course French is spoken in Quebec and we are fully aware but based on the volume of tourists, it is not necessary to offend your potential customers. We come from Greece a very touristic country but when we have to deal with tourists or we travel to other countries, we speak English. 50% of a great business is customer service.

I wish we had discovered this place sooner!!! It was awesome. Gerant was our server and was excellent. It was great that he knew both English and French which helped both him and us! He knew the menu inside and out, made great recommendations, and was knowledgeable about wine pairings. He even let us sample a couple sips of a few wines to make sure we were happy with our selection. This place is all about the food. It's simplistic in decor and furniture. But the food is not to be missed. The prices are completely reasonable if not even cheap for what you get. Amazing value. Menu changes often and is unique in ingredients, preparation. They have a small selection of wine and craft beer, and only one dessert. But hands down this was my favorite meal in QC. It wasn't touristy or pretentious, just beautifully presented and delicious! Some tips: Make sure to call ahead for a reservation as it fills quick. It's very small with a few bar seats and maybe 25ish? seats at tables. Also, it can get kinda hot in there so dress lightly. the window seat looking out is the best since you get airflow and can people watch. It's on a very steep hill and isn't really stroller friendly. We had ours with but left the base outside and just brought in the car seat. Bathrooms have no change table and are small, but I know this isn't really a place that would cater to kids. But since the food looked amazing and was, we had to go anyways. And it was completely worth it.

Small cozy space. Delicious food. The duck ham is outstanding, the tomato corn salad fantastic, great oysters, all in all a great casual restaurant. The type of place that if you lived close by you would go often. Neighborhoody vibe with solid good food and obvious care.

This place is such a nice and cozy restaurant bar. We were seated in the bar and the bartender who served us was really friendly and attentive. We liked most foods we ordered and the bartender's recommendation of wines. Overall it was great experience and I'd recommend this place to anyone who's planning to visit Quebec City.

Ambiance, service, food-- all excellent! Buvette Scott was definitely my favorite of all the places we'd eaten at in Montréal and Québec City. We ordered the sourdough, olives, pickled vegetables, poached calamari, potato tatin, and the dessert with grape sorbet. Every small dish was delicious. Cannot recommend it enough!

This place is a must when visiting Quebec. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is amazing! We ordered 5 dishes (apps + dinner) and shared everything (2 people). The waitstaff ( Leo) paced the meal perfectly. We were able to enjoy everything, never feeling rushed. The wine recommendation was perfect and the price was very reasonable. We would DEFINITELY return!!

We went here for my mother's 76th birthday dinner as we came in from new york. Food was simply exceptional. Even something as commonplace as an old-fashioned was done exceptionally well. Try many different things as you will not be disappointed.

What!!! Who is this chef? And don't tell anyone about this place so that the masses don't ruin it. Hand written menu on a chalk board. Thank goodness they had a single sheet in English. The space is small and intimate. Not meant for large parties. Great for a table for two. Tucked away on a side street. You have to want this to be your destination. You would not find it. We started with the homemade sourdough bread and duck ham. Yes. You read that correctly They aged duck breast with salt and spices. And then presented it sliced with the fat still on it lightly spooned seeded mustard. Delicious. I am skipping over the mozzarellas. Will return to that. We had the linguine with lobster bisque. This is not traditional subtle bisque. There were so many flavors with it was quite complex. The mozzarella espuma. I didn't know this was possible. I still don't know what I ate. But I loved it. This was between mousse and whipped cream and foam. It had some solidity as it held up the wild asparagus and leaves of green as it lightly hovered over the leek oil. And yet. When you took a spoon into your mouth. It was smooth as melted cream. Go for this dish. If you eat nothing else. Finished off with white chocolate panna cotta with candied rhubarb and rhubarb peels. Not usually a fan of panna cotta. They got it right. Small enough slice that the texture is not the focus. And interesting enough t finish the dish. Four people running this place. Just wonderful.

This place is probably the best meal we had in Canada. Fresh veggies and fruits alongside an awesome ambience. Highly recommend

Let me start off by saying I did not realize this was a tapas place...which is my own fault. The food was good not amazing. What I disliked the most was the portion to price ratio. We spent 100$ tip included for four small dishes that were basically appetizer sized and there was no way we were anywhere near full. I found the pictures posted deceiving. The brioche with chanterelle mushrooms was 18$ and advertised as having lobster but there was none on our plate. It was just a piece of bread with an egg on top. The duck hearts were good. It was the best dish. For what we paid I expected much better quality. Would not come back again.

Amazing place! Dont get fooled by simple rustic interior - food is on the par with Michelin star restaurants. Everything is thoughtfully composed and presented. Wine list is short but on point. Cant wait to return.

Fantastic experience and descent prices ! Warmth welcome for a small place. I would put it into the French Tapas category. Every dish is complex enough so you can taste the work of the chef and large enough so you can actually enjoy it in more that one bite. Fun wines and beer selection as well. Bravo

I normally stay in the old walled section of town. I'm glad we ventured out and into a real neighborhood. This is a fun area, I liked the crepe joint next door, the brewpub down the block... but Buvette Scott was the real gem of this trip. We made reservations the night before. This is recorded in an old tattered and drink soaked spiral bound notebook. No opentable here! pen and paper! I requested a seat at the bar, near the kitchen. My wife and I have been talking to each other for more than a decade, we wanted to entertain ourselves with the kitchen show, and proximity to the drinks. We arrived on time, and were promptly greeted by name! there were only two empty chairs in the whole place, waiting just for us. I don't speak French, but I'm a fair sport. I can navigate food language. I made a few selections from the menu (written in chalk on the wall) from a few words I can translate. I made a few more selections based on what I saw other people eating or the chef working on. It was all so delicious and good. Maybe I should've paid more attention to what I was ordering. The really awesome server (also works at the brewpub down the block) proudly served up a big plate and said "enjoy your kidney rabbit" (his english was still better than my French). Yep, we had ordred a big plate of rabbit kidneys and mushrooms. Wasn't part of my plan for the evening, but we ate them all. I will definitely come back next time I'm in Quebec.

Man, I wish I can take the chef back to Toronto and eat there all the time. The foods were absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. Their menu changes all the time, everything is made in house and the environment is this cute small cozy place located around the corner of Rue Scott (up the hill). We ordered the beef croquette and chowder with mussells. Both dishes were delicious and you can taste the fresh ingredients. The short ribs in bo ssam styles with home made kimchi and foie gras au torchon. Both were not disappointing at all. The places was crowded on Friday night, I highly recommend a reservation!

Exceptional service and very local private,lovely atmosphere with candlelight and record players.Tried their beer and negroni along with fried smelt,cauliflower and butternut squash soup. Highly recommended if you are looking for "not touristy spot".Staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming despite of not having reservation.

All the food was very good. I won't go into too much detail because the menu changes so often, but I (and everyone else in my group) thought the charcuterie and fromage were the highlight. If it's still on the menu, I would strongly recommend you try it. What you pay at this restaurant is pretty dependent on how much you eat. There were four people in my party, but only one big eater, and so around six dishes were enough to satisfy us. I could easily imagine another group of four eating twice as much, though. The service was very good. Our waiter was very personal (which may have something to do with the fact that the restaurant is very small, and so it's hard not to get into someone else's space) but maybe a little too jocular.

The duck hearts here are...well...after my own heart. Our server was that rarity - a jack of all trades and a master of all. He was one of the most personable and knowledgeable I've had the pleasure of ordering from. Drinks, music - this man knows how to do a killer mix. Quebec City threw down the restaurant gauntlet like no other city I've been to and this was by far the best dining experience I had during my visit. Buvette Scott chefs and staff, I humbly bow down to you and I hope to be a smidge as passionate and serious about anything as you are about your craft.
