Mamie

"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

"There’s an excellent quality/value proposition at Bar Mamie: modestly-priced, hyperlocal charcuterie and cheese boards, hearty small plates of comfort food like raclette and cheese fondue in winter, great house wine of every color, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it perfect for an apéro and a bite (big or small) at any time. Decorated with items from the owner’s Mamie’s kitchen, it’s cozy here, with both hightops and big and small table seating.  The summertime terrasse hugging the restaurant is a convivial 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, a wine shop with tapas, and La Boucherie de Mamie, a butcher shop by day and an all-meat restaurant at night (all the proteins come from less than two hours away). No reservations here, so arrive early or be prepared to connect with the folks next in line while you’re waiting at the iconic Bruno Sport Bar across the way. " - ivy lerner frank, team infatuation

"Mamie is one of the newer kids on the block, but it quickly solidified its reputation as a neighbourhood hub, with a humming street-side terrasse in the summer that generates queues snaking onto Beaubien Street. Affordable wines, easy snacking, and some very warm service make this a terrasse you’ll keep returning to." - Valerie Silva, Tim Forster

"If a charcuterie and cheese platter is your idea of fun, look no further than this corner outpost in the heart of La Petite-Patrie, open since 2020. Its sprawling terrasse can fill up rather quickly once summer rolls around, so figure some waiting time into your visit. Since February, Mamie patrons can now visit their boutique space next door, La Cave de Mamie, for small bites, wines to go, and tasting on-site." - Daniel Bromberg, Eater Staff

"The Plateau’s Bar Mamie, with its focus on small plates, BBQ, charcuterie boards and other grandma-approved comfort foods, hasn’t had to stray far from its regular menu for its “Kit Parc Laurier,” which — appropriately — is available for free delivery to Laurier Park. In addition to the park kit, which includes a charcuterie board, choice of wine or cider and rhubarb crumble, and feeds two to four people, Bar Mamie also offers a BBQ kit for the more hands-on picnickers." - Holly Tousignant
