About

Bar Bisou Bisou specializes in a curated selection of artisanal charcuterie boards featuring cured meats and handcrafted cheeses sourced from regional producers. The menu focuses on high-quality preserved proteins paired with acidic accompaniments such as pickled vegetables, grainy mustards, and crusty breads. The beverage program emphasizes spirits and cocktail compositions designed to complement the savory profiles of the meat offerings. Exposed brick walls and dim lighting define the interior, creating a focused atmosphere centered on the consumption of small plates. Patrons interact with staff to navigate the distinct textures and curing methods present in the rotating selection of pork products. The establishment maintains a streamlined approach to food service, prioritizing the integrity of its raw ingredients and the precise preparation of its traditional snack-focused culinary program.

We visited Spain last year & discovered the power sherry & vermouth, & life's been better ever since haha. This place reproduces those memorable nights in Madrid & Cadiz. No terrace which was too bad because I'm a big fan of an icy vermouth & soda on a hot summer evening, but the vibe downstairs definitely made up for it. A very busy place, with a good balance of locals & tourists. The music was fun & played at a level we could speak without shouting. The bartender was really friendly & super knowledgeable, & they even gave us fantastic restaurants recommendations. The conservas menu was super authentic as well. Try the olives, I've only seen olives like this in Spain. The cocktails we tried were all really good as well. Time Flies is a must try.

Stumbled here in a rain storm, the lounge is stylish, old stone layout in the basement right down in old Montreal.
Bartenders were polite, knowledgeable & suggested we tried the'big cans' sardines, & they were unbelievable, drinks/cocktails were also amazing. Can't say enough high praise for this place, if your walking around looking for an amazing gem to try out make sure this is on your to do list!

We only had some bar snacks. The cheese was excellent though! Great fresh bread from a local coffee shop. The drinks are unique & delicious! Presentation is fun & interesting while not getting in the way of actually enjoying your drink. Fair mid-high end cocktail prices. Bar Tenders are great, knowledgeable & super friendly.
