See Urbanista as a happy-go-lucky spot in the Plateau Mont-Royal area where music keeps playing and smiles don't stop. Their style is mish-mash but comes together in their own funky way: Cabbage Patch Doll perched up on a shelf, some small decorative palm trees and tchotchkes everywhere. The bar looked is stocked with a nice arsenal of bottles but our Midori Sour and hubs' Jack & Coke drinks were pure juice and no strength. To add, when I tried using my Yelp check-in offer, I was told that they didn't know anything about the offer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Plus it was almost upsetting that they thought I wanted a 'free' drink when it was actually an 'offer' their business put out. Anyhow. The owner(?) was pleasant and even though she didn't know about the Yelp check-in offer, Urbanista's vibe is really up our alley. Since cocktails didn't wow me, perhaps their bites would've.

The hotel itself where the restaurant resides is very beautiful. We were seated by the fire with a gorgeous view of the lake! We ordered a bottle of sparkling water, which was good, but $10 beware! We both had glasses of Pinot noir, which was juicy and filled with fruit notes. For lunch, I had the veal Milanese. It was hands down the best piece of veal I had. It was crispy on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside. The salad on top (oranges, radishes) was so bright and cut the fatiness of the veal. The sauce was a Remalode sauce that added a creaminess to the dish. I especially loved the fried capers, which added a hint of saltiness. My husband enjoyed the grilled salmon, but felt it was too small. The service was amazing! We would definitely be back!

I found the cuisine to be vibrant and healthful, with bright and energizing flavors that were well executed overall. The staff are knowledgable about the menu and dish conception, and generally pleasant and friendly to converse with. (Jacqual: B) - Simply presented drink that features hibiscus and citrus with zero proof beer, which I found fascinating. The beer notes are in the background prevailed by the sourness of the other components, where I wish there was a little more added sweetness. (Fried Maitake: A) - Perfectly seasoned dish with tender and high surface area mushrooms coated in an impressly crisp batter given the moisture usually found in mushrooms. The seasoning could not be better with the salt and spice combo; the chive and parsley mayo also add an herbaceous depth of flavor. (Heirloom Tomatoes: A) - Pefectly plated tomatoes with a surprising sunflower seed forward profile given the subtleness of the ingredient; the dish is well balanced and brings out the harmonious flavors of the garden, although I think the bites with flake salt had that even more perfect note. (Hanger Steak: A+) - Beautifully perfected cut of beef with Asian inspiration; the steak is juicily pink with a charred exterior; the carrot ginger puree has a lovely mild and lingering spice, with some additional spice coming from the shishito and the pickled jalapeno. Beautiful dish. (Peach Sorbet: C) - Flavorally pleasant dessert with peach three ways and a nut crumble to add crunch; the sorbet was very hard though and could have benefitted from spirits in the churning process.

We walked in on Friday night and were greeted by the owner. He's a very attentive host and went above and beyond explaining each dish and how fresh they were. We ended up ordering the beef tartare with seared scallops and steak. It was to die for. The steak was accompanied by their homemade sauce. The owner paired both of our dishes with the perfect wine, it was his suggestion by the way. We topped everything off with two massive cheesecakes for desert. We both left this place satisfied! We will definitely come back again, especially in the summer where you can sit close to the docks and watch the boats sail by!

I was mostly delighted that we had stopped walking. Mom ordered a glass of wine while Dad decided to continue his research into Québec beverages with a local beer. Someone has to support the regional economy. They also brought out a small basket of bread with butter, which immediately became the subject of my attention. I watched. I waited. I conducted a detailed assessment of the bread-sharing situation. My findings will remain confidential. We didn't have a full meal because this visit was strictly about resting our paws, but the menu looked wonderful and definitely made Mom and Dad consider staying longer. For me, though, this stop accomplished exactly what was required: a comfortable place to sit outside with my humans, take in the atmosphere of Old Montréal and recover before someone inevitably announced that it was time to start walking again. Dogba's verdict: 3 paws out of 5. Old Montréal location: beautiful Cobblestone-street atmosphere: extremely Montréal Outdoor terrace: lovely Cutout canopy overhead: gorgeous Mom's wine break: successful Dad's local beer research: ongoing Bread basket: closely monitored People watching: excellent Tiny-leg recovery: desperately needed Menu reconnaissance: return visit warranted Would I return? Absolutely--and next time I vote that we actually eat. Although I would also like to formally propose a new Old Montréal tourism policy: For every kilometer of cobblestones, Dogba receives one hour at Buvette Pastek. Seems fair.

We were 2 people and went with an entree of scallop and Crudo. Main we shared the lobster cavatellis. Oh boy the food came to the table and fabulous presentation. The taste was also amazing...especially the crudo dish...that sauce was to die for. The lobster cavatellis was also amazing...the pasta was still a bit al dente just as it should be and the sauce was so yummy...we almost licked the plate clean! Desserts were also pretty good. I preferred the strawberry one over the panacota. Did I also mention the decor was modern and classy? It's definitely a place you can bring a date or customers for business lunch or dinner. The crowd was a bit older which is normal because the ambiance is more quiet and pricing is higher than a normal bar. Would a 100% go back there very soon to try more of their wine and food.
