This was our second time at La Buche, & we were really looking forward to it due to our fantastic first experience. While the service was excellent & we always love the atmosphere, we were very disappointed with the food. The duck tartare was underwhelming. My dish (the Quebec Shepherds pie) was only lukewarm, & the presentation was not fully explained on the menu (it was a deconstructed version of a traditional dish, ie no crust). The mac & cheese w meat my date had was good but not great. We were looking forward to the thick-cut bacon we'd had before, but it wasn't on the menu this time, & none was offered. Maybe we'll try the breakfast menu next time, or maybe we will explore a new spot entirely.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre souper à la Buche. L'atmosphère décontractée & sans prétention invite à la détente. Comme entrée nous avons pris les ailes de lapin & la tartare de cerf. Les ailes de lapin sont vraiment originales. La viande laquée est très savoureuse (même un peu parfumée) & accompagnée d'une trempette tout à fait sublime. Le tartare était bon mais se démarquait moins que les ailes de lapin. Comme plat principale nous avons pris la tourtière de cerf & le jambon à bière sur poutine. Le jambon était fabuleux. Très goûteux, tendre & humide. La sauce de la poutine était également délicieuse. Un vrai plat copieux & réconfortant. Les ailes de lapin & le jambon me rappel un peu la cuisine du Pied de Cochon de Martin Picard. La tourtière était bonne mais ne se démarquait pas autant que le jambon. Nous avons terminé le tout avec une succulente pouding du chômeur. Définitivement à essayer.

Our dinner at La Buche was lovely (we had to have dinner instead of breakfast as our plane was delayed). The server was very friendly & attentive. We had the meat pie nuggets, shepherds pie, poutine, grilled cheese, & bison steak. All were very good!

La Bûche is an interesting, informal restaurant with good points & bad. The country music was playing much too loudly & on a very short loop so we heard many songs twice. I was quite disappointed in the tourtiere, which in this version is an under-spiced beef pot pie filled with tough chunks of meat & topped with a puff pastry crust. The service was quite attentine & friendly. The salads were quite good, as was the macaroni & cheese. I am unlikely to return.

Shepherd Pie was disappointing. Little meat & vegetables, but huge amount of potatoes.
Friendly service but slow to get our food order.

This place is a gem. Fun & cozy atmosphere with a quebecois sugar shack nostalgic decor. & delicious spin on some traditional favourites like the pea soup, pâté chinois (shepherds pie) & salmon tartare. Feels like a place where a lumberjack would take you on a special date. ;)

We loved everything about La Buche. The food is fantastic. Service spot on. Prices reasonable for the quality received. We had the set dinner for $50 & it was so much food we could not finish....all was superb. We especially loved the rabbit, the meat pie, the poutine & the wonderful maple syrup!
