This is a delayed review but it popped into my mind this morning and it’s worth noting;Bar Banane‘s dining experience is incredibly designed and curated. Intricate flavour combinations and visually appealing dishes bring your experience to another level.4 of my girlfriends and I enjoyed the canapé tasting menu. We started from the top and went right to the end - I ordered extra of the pork jowl. We tacked on the soufflé as well - divine. We were comfortably full after the meal and each one of us had a different favourite, for a different reason.The menu is so artfully created and you can tell from the flavours and execution that each member working there takes great pride in what they do.The cocktails were also delicious and prepared by a competition winning “bartender” (probably called something way more elaborate but I’m a simpleton haha) I may add!This is a perfect spot for an upscale night out with friends, date, business meeting - what have you.I am looking forward to returning in the future and seeing what the chef’s (especially the pastry chef) come up with!

Enjoyed their uniquely fancy cocktails! Their fois gras appetizer was amazing ?Would recommend going early because they turned the music up waaay loud at 8:30 (or maybe I'm just too old...)

The cocktails are amazing, we tried 8 of them and the two mezcal based were incredible! Drop the bol was so tasty and the strawberry one was delicious!The forbidden negroni was good but very coconut forward so that is surprising!The food is good but very small portion for the tartare. The lobster canapé was fabulous! And very positively surprised by the savoury churros, delicious! The pork jowl was just fat did not like it!

Fantastic drinks and tasty small bites!They offer some excellent vegetarian choices, and my personal favorite is the Beetroot Blini.The soufflé is incredible, but be prepared—it's a generous portion meant for at least four people.Just keep in mind that it can get pretty loud in there, making it a bit challenging for conversationsVegetarian options: there are 3 veg options in their canapés.

Came here for the second time tonight. Both times we’ve been served by Dhruv. He’s knowledgeable and has great recommendations. The cocktails and service have all been amazing, but Dhruv has consistently elevated our experience and exceeded our expectations. Favourite place in the city for cocktails.

Walked in on a Saturday night without reservation. Was told that a lot of people were ahead of us but got a call back in 20 mins. Great place, very comfortable seat, service was excellent. Got 3 banana tarts, it was insanely good. Drinks were okay, hit or miss. Things are on the pricey side. But I definitely recommend this place and will come back again.
