The supper club experience at Buonanotte is a pretty ingenious one-stop nightlife affair. Everything you need, from dining and dancing to beats and bottle service, is all provided to you and your crew at a cleverly paced agenda, all within the confines of a singular, uber-trendy establishment. It's pretty much the opposite of bar-hopping - instead of the patrons moving around to get a change of scenery with one booze joint to the next, a supper club does all the scenery-changing for you. You get to stay put. You get to eat. You get to party. You get to feel like you've been to a restaurant, lounge, club, and anything else in between, all over the course of one night. Most importantly, you get to feel like a real privileged, VIP son of a bitch.
Let's start with the food. The Caprese is surprisingly fresh - thick slices of mozzarella di bufala accompanied by grape tomatoes. The Cavatelli with Ricotta and Asparagus, however, is just an awful pasta dish, no two ways about it - dry, bland, and unappetizing. But honestly, you shouldn't be coming here exclusively for the food. You should be coming here mainly for the party.
The waitresses will trade in their dinner service red pencil skirts and white button-down shirts (unbuttoned quite a few buttons - please, they know what they're doin') for glitzy, sequined, super-short cocktail dresses once the restaurant is turned over into discotheque mode. Tables are broken down, the house music starts its slow build, lights are dimmed to near darkness, and the bottles and sparklers are paraded through the establishment as the official indicator the real night has only just begun.
What was once a mild-mannered, trendy dining experience is now a full-blown club. The drinks are flowing, the beats are pounding off the walls, the house is absolutely packed, and, seriously, you will never see so many dimes in one spot. Model-caliber, French Canadian dimes. Bachelor party bros, take note.
The crowd outside waiting to get into this establishment is unbelievable - a huge horde of dolled-up twenty-somethings (at a number to match the capacity indoors, mind you) with the pretty limited chance they will ever make it inside. This tells me that these people would rather be dressed to the nines outside on some line with only the chance of getting in as opposed to spending their night at some lesser bar along Saint Laurent. Do I blame them? Having been on the inside, it's kinda hard to say. While there are better places to eat, I find it hard to believe there are better places to party. If these people know to be at Buonanotte once the sun goes down, then you gotta believe these people know what's good. If you're ever in Montreal, certainly save Buonanotte for your baller night out.Listed in: Gold-Digger Approved!

This is definitely an experience. I'd give the overall experience a 3 out of 5 only because the food was so terrible and overpriced.
Dance Club 5 out of 5... Food 1 out of 5.
We got two 90oz rib eye steaks that look like something out of The Flintstones. So you would think that would be a bachelor party's dream right? Nope...TERRIBLE steak...ruin our meal completely. The sides were expensive as crap and not anything special. Also, the service was terrible...they messed up our steaks and then didn't do anything to remedy the situation. Same thing happened with one of our bottles...they tried to screw us and give us a cheaper bottle when we ordered a bottle of crown...they ended up giving us some cheap Canadian crap.
As far as the club is concerned...amazing. One of the best club experiences I've had in a long time. We got bottle service and it made the night so much more fun. Great mix of music too...wish they played a little more hip hop...but it was still a great experience. -

Been told this was a can't miss night spot for anyone going to Montreal for a quick trip. Food was completely lacking flavor but the setup was very cool, and if you have to spend $25 on dinner to skip the lines and have a table, it's pretty worth it. The bottle service was priced about right, and the only girls I saw all weekend who were better looking than the clientele here were the waitresses...all stunning. Not a great place to meet people as it was very loud and people come in groups...but you can still make it work.

There are some clubs where all you need is a dance floor and $25 to have the time of your life.
This isn't one of them -
Buena is the place to be on a Friday night. Restaurant turns into a club - and therefore the most atypical club I've been to so far.
You need a table but
Bottle service/service in general is quite horrendous - took the hostess 30 mins to stave lingering diners off our table. Look out for inefficient waitresses. -

If you are in Montreal, this place is the place to be seen. Food is great and the atmosphere just rocks!

3.5 stars.
Not sure if this is run by the same people who run Time Supper Club. But the experience here is only aight. Food was ok and the party scene was also ok. Didn't draw the chic, trendy crowd that Time draws but we had a blast. -

This place is awesome. The whole supper club thing needs to became more prevalent everywhere asap. We started off with a large feast which slowly turned into a raging party. Good food, amazing music, great decor. Would 100% go back when going back to Montreal.

this place is pretty nice but expensive for italian food. after dinner, this place becomes a bar/club, and it's pretty hopping (but VERY cheesy).
