    The food here at Buba was amazing! We wanted pretty much everything from the menu and lucky for us they do an open table option where the chef picks an array of dishes for you to try. We loved every dish that was brought out. The food was so full of flavour. We definitely want to come back to this place. Such reasonable prices too!

    Very tasty food, we had several entrees and a main to share and cider. Particularly yummy were the hot chips - they had very tasty herbs. Really good music created good atmosphere. Outside seating on a really warm night was nice as was the retro table and chairs.
