We got situated in the bottom floor area where there was a Dj and other patrons enjoying their drinks and food. We only came here for drinks, so I got my server to surprise me with a mock tail since I was pregnant, and we got some fries on the side to munch on. Menu for food wasn't extensive, more for snacking than dining imo. Server came back with fries and our drinks. My drink was surprisingly good, I had to make sure there was no alcohol, since I could taste somewhat of gin in there, but there wasn't! The fries were hot and fresh, so good! The other 4 ladies had no problem devouring their alcohol infused drinks, plus a couple of shots and off to another bar we go!

Seems like a nice spot to drink just don't waste money on the food. The salad was great ( maybe I…read moreshould go 2 stars) but the grilled cheese was a lukewarm, congealed flavorless lump on a stale baguette. When I explained this to the server I got the typical deer in the headlights stare of someone aghast that a customer would be polite and honest about the quality of what they're serving. Just that basic Quebec " Well, we already ripped you off, so what exactly is there to be done?" look. I mean, if your staff is trained in any type of customer service there's actually a lot that can be done. So for the $16 plus tip I got ripped off, I'll post this and leave some sage advice....don't waste money on the food here, go to Couche instead, spend $4 on a sandwich and believe me it'll be a lot better.

See Urbanista as a happy-go-lucky spot in the Plateau Mont-Royal area where music keeps playing and smiles don't stop. Their style is mish-mash but comes together in their own funky way: Cabbage Patch Doll perched up on a shelf, some small decorative palm trees and tchotchkes everywhere. The bar looked is stocked with a nice arsenal of bottles but our Midori Sour and hubs' Jack & Coke drinks were pure juice and no strength. To add, when I tried using my Yelp check-in offer, I was told that they didn't know anything about the offer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Plus it was almost upsetting that they thought I wanted a 'free' drink when it was actually an 'offer' their business put out. Anyhow. The owner(?) was pleasant and even though she didn't know about the Yelp check-in offer, Urbanista's vibe is really up our alley. Since cocktails didn't wow me, perhaps their bites would've.

Coming in to Easter weekend, I was dreading trying to figure out how to come up with a nice dinner…read morefor the family in the midst of the pandemic... I hoped against hope that some clever restaurant would hear my cry for gastronomic help. Lo and behold, Chez Victoire to the rescue! Seeing they were offering a beautiful Easter dinner set menu for a very reasonable $25/person, I called several days ahead to reserve for four people. They were super nice on the phone and in person when I went to pick things up. Very efficient, prepaid and given a specific time for pick up, I was the only customer in the store. I waited and they placed the order on a table and then I could pick it up. Very smooth. The instructions on how to reheat and serve the meal were very clear and easy to follow. The dinner was a real feast, and great value for the money. There was a butternut squash soup with duck confit and Brussel sprout garnish which we actually saved for lunch the next day because it looked like so much food. For the main course, there was leeks with vinaigrette, cauliflower gratin with béchamel sauce, baked beans with maple syrup and braised lamb, and maple syrup ham with carrots, peas and puréed potatoes. We finished off with a delicious maple syrup tart with pecans. I'd say my only minor issue was that I would have liked just a slightly larger piece of ham, otherwise the meal was perfection! Better than anything I could have come up with even under the best of circumstances. I am secretly hoping they keep doing this even after the pandemic for next Easter. Props to Chez Victoire for finding creative ways to stay open during these crazy times. Can't wait to come here in person when life gets back to normal... and I hope they do the Easter take out menu next year so I can pass it off to my in laws as my own cooking. ;)

QUELLE CATASTROPHE !!!…read more J'allais souvent à ce restaurant et ce soir c'était l'anniversaire de mon conjoint donc j'ai réservé la bas. En arrivant le gérant n'était pas super agréable en partant. Ensuite nous avons attendu environs 45 minutes pour nos plats. Oui nous avions commandé des entrées mais 30 minutes d'attente entre les deux minimum. Lorsque je me suis plainte au gérant il m'a dit que son restaurant était plein ce qui est FAUX il y avait la moitié de rempli. Lorsque je lui ai dit ça il m'a dit " D'accord donc vous voulez annuler votre commande ". Pas de compassion rien du tout. Ensuite lorsque j'ai demandé son nom au gérant il a refusé de me le donner et m'a demandé de sortir. J'ai insisté et il m'a dit " j'annule votre commande ALLEZ DEHORS ". Je n'ai jamais jamais jamais jamais de ma vie était traité ainsi. J'en tremble en rédigeant ces mots.

Every person on the team seemed fully in sync, effortlessly anticipating what guests needed before they even asked. It's rare to see that level of teamwork executed so smoothly. We ordered: * Le croque-pétoncle (scallop sandwiches) * Brochette de langue de boeuf (beef tongue) * Boeuf de pâturage (raw grass-fed beef) Oursin QC (sea urchin): It was silky, and has that nutty toasted richness from the brown butter. Parfait de foie (liver parfait): It was smooth, and velvety without being heavy. It's the kind of dish that lingers in your memory long after the meal ends. I still occasionally talk about it. Every dish was thoughtful and balanced, not a single bite needed extra seasoning. The flavors had depth, and precision. And though the scallop sandwiches and dessert didn't quite hit the same high notes for me, but everything else more than made up for it. Amazing food and amazing service! I can't wait to be back again and just for that parfait de foie alone.

It was around 3pm and of course we were the only people there, but generally didn't find the service to be that friendly or accommodating - it was more courteous and efficient as opposed to being very welcoming, which is totally fine. Overall, like many wine bars in Montreal, the BTG and bottle list skews very heavily toward natural or minimal intervention wines from all over the world (except the United States due to tariff boycotts). Although Quebec is a burgeoning wine producing region (often overshadowed by BC wines from Okanagan and ON ice wines), I found many lists did not offer much from the region, which is really disappointing. vinvinvin definitely had the most options available (perhaps 5-6 total of 40-50+ labels) and many BTG, which is great if you're looking to try some local wines. They do offer food, but the kitchen doesn't open until 4pm so we didn't try anything. Overall, I like the decor of the place and it seems like it'd be a really fun place to hang out with friends. But given that we were the only clients there at the time, I wish the service was a bit friendlier.
