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.

Incredible menu. Cocktails beat expectation. Staff is great. Awesome vibe. Very special shout out to Yousef. This gentleman is in contention for the most talented bartender to grace the North American continent. This is not hyperbole. Not only did he make us the best cocktails of our trip, but he provided some excellent recommendations in the city & added to our weekend in a very special way. This is a must visit bar in Montreal & I say that because Yousef works here.

So we initially wanted to go to the cold room but the wait list was 30 min in -20°C so the hostess told us about Bisou Bisou being a sister bar that we could wait while they texted us to let us in. Super cozy vibe, really interesting drinks. We ended up staying at Bisou Bisou as we had more room to drink & chat.

Wonderful experience chez Bisou Bisou. Alex impressed us all behind the bar & Yousef's extensive knowledge & recommendations were invaluable. Cold room isn't worth the wait with this gem right across the street. Atmosphere felt intimate but not exclusive. I recommend the'The Last Word' & they also make a delightful Espresso Martini. We didn't try the food but cocktails were exceptional. Overall extraordinary experience!!

Truly the one of the best cocktail bar experiences I've ever had. Alex & Yousef were extraordinary hosts who treated us to incredible cocktails & service despite an incredibly busy night. I'm hoping this review gets out to everyone who thinks Cold room is worth the wait. Right across the street you'll find the warm cozy & groovy atmosphere that you're looking for.

Great service, they were attentive & quick to our needs. The bartenders were very informed & professional & catered to our specific tastes with excellent recommendations. The titamisu shot was a great recommendation. We did not have food, but the cocktails were very refined. I got the Babylon Flip & the Petit Elephant, both of which were delicious. Pricey, but well worth it for the ambience & service. The venue is underground, similar vibe to a Speakeasy. I would go back anytime
