Vietnamese sandwiches, wine, coffee, and Zab-roasted beans
"This Hochelaga-based hybrid café and wine bar is open as early as 9 a.m. throughout the weekend, and that means both hair of the dog cocktails and pour-overs are available with a steady menu of sandwiches to eat up: Expect kimchi tamago sandos with jammy eggs, ‘sashimi’ sandwiches of salmon, nori and wasabi mayo, grilled cheese with pulled duck, and more." - JP Karwacki
"This Hochelaga newcomer is swinging big out of the gate, with its own branded beans (roasted by Zab) and a delectable assortment of small sandwiches that are great for sharing. Bonus: a decent selection of wines, ciders, and beers are available on draft all day long." - Daniel Bromberg
"Tucked a couple of blocks south of Promenade Ontario across from Théâtre Denise-Pelletier and beside Parc Morgan, this hybrid café-meets-wine-bar opened on May 25 by partners Paul Tran and Olivier Trudeau and aims to be a low-key, eco-conscious hangout with wine served on tap. With 12 taps behind a central island counter—wines mainly European for now and selected by sommelier Sydney Auger—Supernat uses stainless-steel kegs to reduce waste and avoid oxidation, and also offers beer and cider from neighbours Avant-Garde and Fleuri. Daytime service focuses on coffee made with beans from local roaster Zab (espresso standards plus pour-over) and lattes made with matcha and hojicha, alongside snacks like a tamago sando with kimchi from Cham! k.cuisine, cookies from Trudeau’s girlfriend, and pâté chaud from Tran’s mom. Evenings introduce Asian-influenced sandwiches developed with chef Mathieu Bourdages—barbecue pork bánh mì, a salmon sashimi sandwich with wasabi mayo, and three grilled cheeses (one with pulled pecking duck, one with ajitsuke tofu, and one with goat cheese, Asian pear, sesame seeds, and a honey sambal oelek coulis) on Hokkaido milk bread, priced $9–$13. Cocktails by mixologist Maximiliano Vallée Valletta include a Japanese highball with rum, lemongrass and calamansi syrup, an espresso coconut martini, and a Negroni topped with beer foam. Interior work by MRDK preserves some brick walls and a dangling orange light fixture, adds light wooden furniture, minimalist Japanese touches and retro pieces, and there’s a 20-seat terrasse that looks out to the street. The team plans educational events with local roasters and winemakers to highlight overlaps between coffee and wine and to bring a farm-to-table approach to a beverage-focused business; hours are 9 a.m. Wednesdays to Sundays (closing 4 p.m. Wednesdays and Sundays, 10:30 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays, and 7 p.m. Saturdays)." - Valerie Silva
"I checked out a new day-to-night hybrid café and wine bar steps from Parc Morgan on Ste-Catherine East that’s currently emphasizing its coffee program while planning wine-fuelled nights; it’s also offering a sandwich menu on Japanese Hokkaido milk bread with highlights like a tamago and kimchi sando, a barbecue pork banh mi, and a salmon sashimi sandwich." - Valerie Silva
