"Most places separate the bubbles from the rest of their (still) wine list, but at Petite Patrie’s VinVinVin, they divide up the entire list as "tranquille" and "pas tranquille,” which illustrates their somewhat irreverent, relaxed approach. It's a super reasonably priced, come-as-you-are wine bar, equally right for a date or a board game night with friends. The focus is on wines from Eastern Europe and Québec, with loads of crispy, mineral whites and plummy, deep reds. Charcuterie plates from the neighboring butcher are available, with pasta and salad options, too (though our go-to order is the nostalgic baloney sandwich with local potato chips). Non-wine drinkers have nice beer options, since VinVinVin shares owners with the popular Isle de Garde brasserie a few blocks away. photo credit: Two Food Photographers" - Ivy Lerner-Frank

"This wine spot billed as a Nordic wine bar with central and northern European bottles in Petite-Patrie comes from sommelier expertise care of Nikolas Da Fonseca (ex-Petit Mousso), and it shows: The menu’s built with different flavour profiles such as juicy, mineral or “punk”, meaning that there’s something for just about any palate." - JP Karwacki, Eater Staff

"A slick list of organic, mostly Nordic wines joins a menu of seasonal bites on this Beaubien Street terrasse, which gets extra points for its stylish set-up — with wooden bar stools and booths built into its structure." - Valerie Silva, Tim Forster

"This Beaubien Street wine bar, designed by the rising stars of architectural firm Ménard Dworkind and open since 2019, has become a local favourite for its bold design and even bolder wine list. Mineral wines take centre stage, with an equal focus on whites, reds, rosés, and oranges from all over the world. Expect to find imports from central Europe (think Slovakia and the Czech Republic) and producers from Germany, Austria, and elsewhere that are pushing the limits." - Daniel Bromberg, Eater Staff

"This La-Petite-Patrie wine bar, specializing in natural, organic, and biodynamic offerings, has been going by the name miamiamiam during the pandemic. Head chef Marina De Figueiredo changed up its offering to Szechuan-inspired dishes developed with the help of Anita Feng (ex Trilogie, now J’ai Feng), but the organic wines are still flowing." - Yara El-Soueidi
