A surprising little find with great cocktails and great service. Their house cocktails are all amazing and very reasonably priced for how complex and tasty they are. Atmosphere is laid back and cool, with lots of stuff to look at. Service is amazing, very friendly and attentive. Definitely would recommend this place for a relaxing drink.

Was worse experience of my life the bartender jasmin was a floosy . Too focused on the younger men to serve woman . Extremely unprofessional. Disgusting not worth a single penny . I walked out egg whites in everything shots overpriced . Seat’s uncomfortableDietary restrictions: Egg whites everywhere

Slowest service despite the restaurant being empty. Took over 20-30 mins to get our cocktails. I ordered wine next thinking it would be quicker than mixing a cocktail, waitress forgot and had to remind her after 20 minutes. We ordered shots, she left the tray and expected us to serve our group of 10 people ourselves. You will pay 20$ for small tacos with barely any filling. The mac and cheese is runny. All in all, avoid this spot and save yourself some money.

Don't pay their employees. They should give 100$ per day not paid to their employees. Overpriced food and drinks, would not go back.

Hi thank you to the owner, the chef for the warm welcome, and most especially Alan our host; who shared the making of the various dishes on the menu, and lit upwhen it came to the Tacos ? I recommend this quaint Bistro to all who visit Montréal and find themselves walking on Norte Dame ??

One of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten at. Alan was an impeccable host, with brilliant suggestions and a generous knowledge of tequilas and mescals. The shrimp tacos were the best I’ve ever tasted and the DJ cocktail was amazing, like nothing I’ve ever experienced (and I’ve bartended a lot in my life). A must visit place when you’re in Montreal, just steps from the Arsenal Contemporary Art Gallery.

Incredibly creative drink menu, super fresh and reasonably priced oysters, and the menu has lots of eclectic and gluten free options. Cheddar and goat cheese dip was sensational, and the owner, Heidi, is lovely.

We live near by Kali Bistro and it’s become a local go-to spot for us. We came in on a Friday and right off the bay we noticed that they were short staffed. Lexi who was working was making drinks, taking orders, bringing out food, cleaning tables, all on her own. And she didn’t miss a beat. Not only was the service top-notch but the tacos (cod and mushroom) were some of the best we had and the poutine was super delicious. My husband is celiac and there were a ton of options for him. We will definitely be back again!For more reviews and things to do in Montreal and Toronto, follow me on Instagram at @mili.inthecity!

Extremely slow service and mediocre overpriced food!They should have more staff and a better sound system. You'd expect better things given the prices and the location.Only positive was the cocktails!

Highly recommend this place for a good alcoholic drink & yummy food. The staff is amazing & very welcoming. Such a great vibe to go for a drink with friends. It's not a big place, I recommend calling in advance but it's so worth it. Wonderful atmosphere with dimmed lights & good vibes with music in the background.

Went here with my girlfriend for Valentine's Day . The vibe is super chill, perfect for date night. The staff is super friendly and has great recommendations for food and drink. There is a wide variety of cocktails to enjoy, and the mushroom pasta is one of the best. Frankly, every dish we tried was fantastic.We will definitely be visiting again!

Service is really good, our waiter was really friendly and accommodating. I ordered the salmon and it was really yummy, the chorizo confit was a bit salty but overall it was good. This seems like a relaxed space, music was nice and we were able to have a conversation without music being too loud. I really liked that the beers are served in their original goblets/glasses, that was very cool.
