50 Best Wine Bars in Montreal

“Mon Lapin was the highlight of our trip! Fiona gave us the best service we’ve ever experienced. She was so warm, kind, and welcoming to our child, which made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived.

Her wine pairings were absolutely outstanding and perfectly complemented every dish. The food was exceptional, the atmosphere was beautiful, and every detail made for such a memorable evening.

This was easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had, and it truly made our trip. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Le service et la nourriture un vrai délice“

“This place is truly one of a kind. You cannot go wrong with anything. Everything was amazing but major highlights were: maitake mushrooms, jambon, scallops and the pork - whatever you do, get the pork. Also, our server Jasmine was impeccable so kind and sweet. 5 stars all around!“

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

“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!“

“Had an amazing experience at Gia Vin & Grill. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was excellent, and the restaurant is in a nice quiet area which made the whole evening even more enjoyable. Everything we ordered was great, but the tiramisu is a must have; the best I’ve had in Montreal so far. Highly recommend!“

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

“What a wonderful find in Old Montreal!!! Patrick was a generous and charming host. We tried a Porto white wine that was new to us and also crudo-that was outstanding, and goat cheese toast with anchovy or sardine on top. The sauce from the crudo was so delicious it demanded bread to dunk, which was gladly provided to us. We are new fan favorites of Portuguese foods we hadn’t tried before and of this place especially.“

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

“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!“

“Bon vin, bonne bouffe et service impeccable!“

“Shocking on the outside, but beautiful on the inside Great Japanese 🇯🇵🍣food 🥘“

“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 5 star wine bar. They’ve got a lovely, easy-going atmosphere with an edge. We ordered the biggest chef’s-choice charcuterie board they had and weren’t disappointed. The owner was hands on, friendly and informative. We’ll visit here every time we visit Montreal. Merci!“

“Wow! Plats délicieux, bons vins et super service✨“

“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.“

“Cool spot dans le quartier“

“J’ai passé un excellent moment au Roselyne avec un ami que je n’avais pas vu depuis longtemps. L’ambiance du petit salon, avec les fauteuils en cuir est vraiment agréable et cosy. La cuisine était délicieuse, gros coups de cœur pour les choux de Bruxelles et l’os à moelle avec escargots,délicieux et parfaitement réalisés.“

“Tout était excellent! L’ambiance, la nourriture et le service!“

“À chaque fois que je vais au Cabaret l'Enfer, c'est une expérience VIP... à partir de l'arrivée jusqu'au digestif..l'accueil est chaleureuse, le personnel super sympathique, et que dire de la nourriture ( chaque service est un art et d'un goût de gastronomie). 💯“

“sélection de vins debile! belle ambiance décontractée ! belle découverte culinaire et vino. musique s'est bien accordée avec le débit de gens. génial“

“Un incontournable ❣️ Ambiance décontractée, plats simples, abordables et surtout, délicieux. Chaque plat est savoureux et on sent que le tout est préparé avec beaucoup de soin. C'est un bijou comme endroit.“

“Excellente nourriture, service attentionné du personnel et de Mario. Un resto où on s'y sent bien et on sait qu'on y retournera“

“I chose L'Octo for an afternoon date. The restaurant is lovely, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our waitress was excellent—very attentive, she answered all our questions, and recommended several great dishes that we truly enjoyed. The food was delicious, and I especially loved the presentation. Being able to share the meals made the experience even more pleasant. The prices are also very reasonable. The only small negative was the parking situation, but overall, I had an excellent evening with great food and company. I definitely scored points by choosing L'Octo!“

“Really like the atmosphere there. Nice bartenders“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Charmante place, on a beaucoup apprecie notre passage et tres belle ambiance“

“Bar- grande sélection-bonne ambiance musicale“

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

“Woww! Nous y sommes allés hier. Groupe de 10! Service incroyable. Nourritures exceptionnelles! Vins… super sélection. Émilie a su bien nous guider dans notre choix. Je recommande. Un 12/10.“

“Excellent et Belle Place“

“Delicious !!! Dined on my own, a bit expensive but worth it. I had the special shrimp asparagus toast and the roasted carrots (delish) and the piri piri chicken (good flavor a bit tough and I wanted more pickles). Drank a Rosa which was lovely and refreshing. YUM. Plenty of wheat-free menu options (as a wheat intolerant girly myself- went all out tonight though hence the special non-gf toast).“

“Went for brunch with a big group on a Sunday. Loved the menu and the drinks! The service was attentive and fast.

Easy to find parking
Bathroom amenities fit for small children - and appreciate the kids menu!

They offer an elevated brunch experience in a local neighborhood spot and i would totally come back“

“Le menu de la Saint Valentin était un véritable régal!“

“Belle place possibilité de jouer aux échecs.“

“Ambiance chaleureuse, plats délicieux, accueil super, tout ce qu’il faut pour passer un bon moment 👍🏻😊“

“Stopped by Cafe Le Petit Flore for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. The vibe was great, the food was fresh, and the whole place had a warm, cozy atmosphere. I especially liked how friendly and welcoming everyone was from the moment I walked in.

I ordered my meal, and all were excellent. You can tell they pay attention to quality and presentation.

What I enjoyed most was the atmosphere. It’s the kind of cafe where you can comfortably sit for a while, whether you’re meeting friends, reading a book, or just taking a break from a busy day. The space feels relaxed and inviting without being too crowded or noisy.

Overall, I had a great experience and can see why this place is so popular with locals. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a charming place in Montreal.“

“Staff is incredible, atmosphere was fun chill and understated.. the service incredible and the food was so delicious and probably one of the best steak frites in the city“

“Super service à la clientèle ! Sympathique serveur! Excellents plats! Belle ambiance ! On a adoré 😊“

“la nourriture et le service“

“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…“

“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“

“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. ❤️“
