The Best New Bars in Montreal, September 2022 | Eater Montreal

"During the day, l’idéal is a reliable place to hunker down to work or study, but come evening, it’s a favourite for grabbing a glass of natural wine, a few small plates, or a refreshing cocktail. Expect a warm and welcoming space decked with wooden furniture, plant life, and, somewhat unexpectedly, a podcast recording studio." - Valerie Silva

Laid back hideaway bar within the Quartier Des Spectacles. Visited on a Friday night for a nightcap & was met with a lively energetic crowd. I had the Mezcal Negroni. It was smokey & bittersweet with a hint of citrus. Groovy DJ! He was spinning some vintage tracks from the 80's & 90's. Chill bartender. She was friendly & attentive. Would come again!

the music was really groovy and mellow. the food was superb (we ordered the mini burgers). the wine selection was diverse and tasty. loveee the atmosphere and the aesthetic. well air conditioned and the lighting is chef’s kiss. highly recommend as a predrink destination or for after dinner wine and talk. light and bright.

Amazing. Wine, food, vibes. Loved everything. Cute space, staff was very nice. Enjoyed a really fantastic rosé that was a little darker in color (as the bartender explained-bc the grapes had been macerated so it was kind of in btwn a rosé and a red and it was just the perfect summer wine). The food exceeded expectations. The endive salad was stunning and delicious-perfectly dressed, so light, fresh, delicate yet very flavorful. Highly recommend. Also enjoyed the deviled eggs and the cheese board. Everything was exceptional. Simple yet executed beautifully.

I really like going to this bar because it's not in the middle of town. It's easy to park in the neighborhood, the drinks are cheap and the food is good. There's also another section that becomes the dance floor, a great space. It's known as a very queer bar. Everyone is always respectful and nice.

Great casual place, nice cocktails. The pork belly was INCREDIBLE! Definitely recommend. Brussels sprouts, tataki, pickled veggies also incredible. Drinks were fine, but not amazing. Wine… might need a menu update. Overall cozy and cute, good service.

Pretty chill place for group parties. The dj was pretty good when we went. I'd come back if I have another bug group of friends who are looking for a nice bar.

friendly and quick service. good drinks and a wide selection, there’s something for everyone. dj was good but then started playing music so comical i took it as my queue to head out with a laugh. loud but i was still able to enjoy my book at the bar on a friday night. would recommend!

The focaccia sandwich is really good. I also had a hibiscus lemonade mock-tail. It was really good, but didn’t really taste like hibiscus. I don’t recommend the tomato toast. It was good, but nothing special.
