50 Best Wine Bars in Montreal

“The food and atmosphere were wonderful, the wine fantastic and the service next level. Our server, Fiona, took time to pair our dishes with absolutely delicious wines, and explained every dish on the menu. She really took the time to make our experience unforgettable, as well as all of the other staff.

We had 6 dishes and each one was unique and delicious! Do yourself a favour and visit Mon Lapin!“

“Le service et la nourriture un vrai délice“

“Merci infiniment pour le magnifique service de Maxime. On a mangé comme des rois. Staff agréable et prix, ma foi, raisonnables pour la quantité de nourriture et d’alcool consommés. Nous reviendrons! ☺️ Mathilde et Guillaume (le gars qui déménage à Lanaudière)“

“Repas extraordinaire et service hors pair. Je recommande ce resto à tous. Vraiment très très bon. Merci!“

“Bon vin, bonne bouffe et service impeccable!“

“Walking in, the warm atmosphere makes you feel instantly at home. With only a few tables, set for the lucky locals, I feel privileged to have chef George in the neighbourhood. The Spanish vibe takes you right in the streets of St Sebastian’s tapas spots. It is worth a visit if you want to be pampered by the chef who is sophisticated yet humble. I would say try everything on the menu because it changes regularly. Each visit, I want to say it’s an absolute artistic experience etc but really, it is a party in my mouth. I walk out inspired to cook and excited to be back.“

“Excellent expérience samedi dernier au Barbara! Un gros wow ! Bouffe impeccable et le service Avec Dominick parfait!“

“Mon amoureux et moi ont a adoré le sando aux concombres, le tamago sando au Kimchi, les patés vietnamien servi avec l'huile rouge, le cupcake ou muffin je me souviens plus du nom il était très bon et léger je l'ai partagé avec mon amoureux, je recommande SUPERNAT“

“A local staple! Amazing private import and natural wines, chic and cozy atmosphere, delicious tapas style dishes, and great, personal service. Highly recommend their popcorn, chips, gravlax, and charcutterie board!“

“Wow — what an incredible find! This place is an absolute hidden gem on Saint-Laurent Street in Montreal. The service is amazing, the vibe is warm and inviting, and the food… just wow! The dumplings are out of this world — a total must-try! I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes. Highly, highly recommend!“

“The food of this place and the customer service are really disgusting🤮🤮🤮🤮“

“A group of friends and I were in Montreal for a couple of days and decided to stop by Le Psy for a quick drink and a light bite before continuing our night. What was meant to be a short visit turned into hours—thanks to the soft lighting, great music, and incredibly warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Jean-Yves is truly one of the most gracious and charming restaurateurs I’ve ever met. Although our group was mostly English-speaking, he made us feel completely at home—like longtime friends by the end of the night.

I could go on about how special the experience was, but I need to mention the food and drinks before you stop reading.

French onion soup is my favorite dish in the world—and a tricky one to get just right—but they’ve mastered it here. Every bite had the perfect balance: rich broth, caramelized onions, and a bold cheese crust that left us craving more. It simply is one of the best I've ever had.

I paired it with a fantastic Old Fashioned that was as delicious as it was entertaining to watch being crafted.

But the star of the night—one of the highlights of our entire trip—was the espresso martini. I’ve never had anything like it. When we asked how to recreate it, Jean-Yves generously walked us through the process, step by step.

On a trip where we set out to taste everything Montreal had to offer, we ended up returning to Le Psy the very next night. If you’re still reading this, do yourself a favor, pull up a stool at Le Psy, and treat yourself to an unforgettable meal, a vibrant atmosphere, and some of the kindest people Montreal has to offer.

We’ll be back in the years to come—thank you, Jean-Yves and team!“

“Great Place…and atmosphere!“

“So, this review is a little different from most, because people often come to a place one time experience a good thing and drop a positive review. I on the other hand expect consistency and I am a little on the OCD side, especially when I travel. That just means I find the restaurants that I like and I have been known to eat the same meals two days in a row. One of the things that stands out immediately to me is that for the most part you have the same staff working dinner or evening shifts as you do the brunch on Saturday and Sunday. This makes for long days but it produces consistency. Timeliness and courtesy are number one for the ladies on the floor. Attention to detail is critical to the men on the cookline, as each plate comes out as an arrangement of food, not simply a pile of ingredients. I was in Montreal for a conference from Friday to Sunday so I was able to eat 2 dinners and 2 brunches, and I have to say they were quite exceptional. I do give the brunch a slight tip of the cap for being more consistent of the two meals and having the best consistency with the Big Brunch, the Americano, and the fresh squeezed juice. It is probably one of the best breakfast/brunches I have had since Verviers, Brussels in 2019. The Big Brunch consisted of fried sunny side up eggs, a sausage, fried potatoes with hollandaise, cubed fresh tomato, sourdough toast, fresh Americano, and fresh orange and grapefruit juice. The flavors work together to complement each other with the eggs having been lightly peppered by the chef and maybe fried in the salty fat from the sausage to give them the right amount of seasoning. Dinner the first day I had a beer and a ribeye prepared medium rare with pepper seasoning and a brown gravy accompanying the pureed potatoes. The steak was cooked perfectly. The next night I had the charcutier meat with sourdough, which was a nice assortment of the traditional fare one might find. It would have been nice to have found a smaller plate that include both meat and cheese. I did have a bottle of the California 2020 Elizabeth Spencer Cab and it paired well with everything, sometimes a little fruity and others a little spicy depending on how the notes hit the palette. Dinner was the same as the night before, but although the ribeye was ordered medium rare it came out more to medium. That was a little disappointing, but still satisfying in the end. To finish my meal I had the brownie with pecan crumble and sauce which finished off the bottle of Cab perfectly. This morning I had an amazing brunch again, and now I must say adieu as I head to the airport to return home.“

“Very good. One of my favourite restaurants I’ve been to in the city. Also in a great location with other fun restos and bars around. Service was amazing from the start, explaining the menu throughly for us “first timers”. Fun plates to share, don’t disregard the veggies as they are some of the best parts of the meal. The chilie cabbage was probably one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. (Choi chili crisp). Thanks for the great service, food and ambience, will be back asap.“

“Un endroit charmant à visiter. Service impeccable.“

“Mon restaurant préféré à Montréal! Mon chum et moi y allons dès que nous souhaitons passer une belle soirée.“

“The evening started off on the wrong foot when the first waiter didn’t give us the table we wanted saying he had no time to clean it! But then a super kind second waiter took our order and explained to us how the menu worked and the rest of the evening was awesome. Food was super and worth the money!!!!!“

“AMAZING! Hands down best pizza in all of MTL.The food is consistently well prepared and delicious. Also, the nicest staff. They're always so friendly and welcoming. If you haven't eaten here honestly all I can say is, what are you waiting for?!“

“After several visits in just one month, I can say that this café is officially one of my favorites in Montreal, especially for studying? The individual tables are large enough to accommodate 2 computers and there are numerous sockets. The place is also very aesthetic with its high ceiling and its shrubs which bring serenity. The entrance is quite discreet, which enhances the experience. I tried the mocha and the pumpkin spice latte as well as the tomato soup and the grilled cheese, everything is very tasty. I can only highly recommend this address!!“

“Excellent date night spot with polished and attentive service. The dishes were delicious and thoughtfully presented. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between cozy and lively. This was my second visit -my first with a group of friends and the quality of the service, food, and ambiance remained consistently outstanding. Highly recommend!“

“Première visite à ce resto et très satisfaite! Excellente nourriture, excellent vin et superbe ambiance.“

“Mushroom salad was very salty, the pork dish did not look like what I've seen online what we were very tiny pieces not the thicker juicy pork i was expecting. Ultimately the overseasoning of the mushroom salad kind of made the whole experience feel very intense with salt. Our server was fantastic and did a amazing job.“

“Belle place possibilité de jouer aux échecs.“

“Friendly, helpful service. Pretty attentive. House cocktails, Sous Bois and Fleurs du Mal were nicely crafted and well presented.Very relaxed atmosphere on a Monday, wish the music was louder because it wasn't really memorable. One of the sinks was missing soap and lots of graffiti in the washroom. I know they want to support local artists but not really a fan of the works on display which were all the same style.“

“The HIT place in the hood! Just simple WOW! The bro’s are simply charming and eye candy galore! The sphere is GENIAL! Drinks are of variety to be wrecken with anyplace from YUL , NYC or the other side ofbthe pond! Can’t say enough about it.. simply worth the detour…“

“first visit & won't be our last. everything was amazing. great food & service. Thank you.“

“Absolument délicieux. Vous avez réussi à faire manger des fruits de mer à une enfant qui n'aimait pas ça. Vous avez conquis cinq personnes. ❤️“

“La Traversée is the restaurant adjacent to the Bota-Bota spa. I loved that they had vegetarian options and alcohol-free drinks. The food was great, but the portions are small for the price. I would suggest a appetizer and a main. The service was great and friendly.

Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options such as the tartelette and the betrave“
