Bar Mamie - Review - Petite Patrie - Montreal - The Infatuation

"Mamie means grandma in French, and Bar Mamie’s homey welcome (and décor) signal an excellent quality/value proposition perfect for an apéro and a bite, big or small, any time. The menu is all about hyperlocal charcuterie and cheese boards, with hearty small plates of comfort food like raclette and cheese fondue in the winter and year-round easy house wines of every color. The summertime terrasse hugging the restaurant is a fun spot to see what’s happening in the Little Italy-adjacent neighborhood. If there’s no room, check out La Cave de Mamie next door, their tapas wine shop, or La Boucherie de Mamie, a butcher shop by day and an all-meat restaurant at night. They don’t take reservations, so arrive early or be prepared to connect with the folks next in line, or while you’re waiting at the iconic Bruno Sport Bar across the way." - Ivy Lerner-Frank
