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.

An interesting concept bar with spectacular service. The drinks are hit & miss, with some gems & some duds. This is a sherry & vermouth bar, so be prepared for lighter alcohol levels & some funky flavors. It has promise, but needs some tweaking with the cocktail menu. Also, the stairwell mirror one bad fall away from disaster...

Cute basement bar with very good vibes, creative & super tasty drinks. The waiter we had was beyond kind - allowing us to sample & explain the choices prior to ordering their Sherry.

If you want to be transported to Europe without exchanging air miles welcome to the best bar in old Montreal. Incredible cocktails, natural wine, & snacks that make you feel like you're meandering Barcelona. Bisou is a must for your visit to Montreal.

I have just had the most fantastic cocktail made by the owner of this bar when he was in Mexico City at Limantour. As a Negroni drinker, I've always dreamed of having a Negroni that had a slightly more subtle approach to the palette. This drink delivered on all of my desires & dreams. I can't wait to get to Montreal to visit this bar in person because the owner was terrific & made cocktails to match.

The only thing you regret in this place is that you can't drink everything they offer. I liked that their cocktails are author's, the guys on the bar are real professionals, they know how to give you an unforgettable drink. Highly recommend this place
