8 wine bar places in Montreal we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Montreal | Wine Bar across every city.
Natural wine is Montreal's house style, and the bars prove it neighbourhood by neighbourhood. Buvette chez Simone runs the standing-room original on Avenue du Parc, Bar Henrietta pairs a Mediterranean-leaning list with mezze on Laurier Ouest, and Petite-Patrie stacks up Vinvinvin's late-night glass list, Annette's Bib Gourmand small plates in the Angus Shops and Bar St-Denis, a Canada's 100 Best listee with inventive cooking. Denise in Parc-Extension flips from daytime cafe to evening natural-wine bar, while Gia Vin & Grill brings a wood-fired, Italian-leaning version to Saint-Henri.
Buvette chez Simone is the standing-room wine bar on Avenue du Parc in Montreal, pouring an ever-changing glass list beside charcuterie and roast chicken.
TipIt fills early and takes no reservations; arrive before eight and share the roast chicken for two.
Annette is a Bib Gourmand wine bar in Montreal's Angus Shops, matching a smart low-intervention list with sharp seasonal small plates in a warm room.
TipThe kitchen is more ambitious than most wine bars; come hungry and let the plates keep pace with the wine.
Vinvinvin is a buzzing natural-wine bar on Rue Beaubien in Montreal, its long glass list and late hours making it a Petite-Patrie industry favourite.
TipThe by-the-glass list rotates fast; ask the bar for a skin-contact pour and a plate of snacks.
Le Rouge Gorge is an easygoing wine bar on Avenue du Mont-Royal in Montreal, known for a fairly priced glass list and cheese boards in a warm Plateau room.
TipIt is one of the Plateau's better-value wine bars; the by-the-glass list is where to explore.
Bar Henrietta is a lively Mile End wine bar on Laurier Ouest in Montreal, pairing a Mediterranean-leaning list with mezze and grilled plates into the night.
TipThe kitchen runs late for a wine bar; it is a strong stop for a second-wind dinner after ten.
Denise is a daytime cafe turned evening natural-wine bar in Parc-Extension, Montreal, pouring low-intervention bottles beside a short, seasonal menu.
TipIt flips from cafe to wine bar after six; evenings are when the natural list and small plates shine.
Bar St-Denis is a chef-driven wine bar in Petite-Patrie, Montreal, one of Canada's 100 Best, pouring natural wine beside inventive small plates.
TipThe kitchen is far more ambitious than a typical wine bar; come hungry and order across the menu.
Gia Vin & Grill is a warehouse-cool wine and grill room in Saint-Henri, Montreal, pairing an Italian-leaning natural list with wood-fired meats and pasta.
TipIt is as much a grill as a wine bar; order a bottle from the Italian list and a wood-fired cut to share.
