Bar Edicola comes across as a vibrant Italian inspired spot in downtown Montreal with a warm, welcoming vibe and a shareable menu from fried artichokes to burrata and a charcuterie board that pair nicely with house cocktails or wine. Reviews praise the great drinks and well made Negronis and other cocktails, tasty food, and friendly attentive service while noting the cafe style coffee options and a lively atmosphere. Some comments mention that the space is small, the seating tight, and a few items feel overpriced for small nibbles and long waits for food and water refills. Overall it reads as a charming versatile venue that works for a morning coffee, aperitivo, or dinner, a new gem in the heart of the city that captures an authentic Italian vibe.
Non alcoholic drinks available. Great menu to order from. You can spend lightly on a cheese order or higher on a pasta or a protein meal. The portions are on the lighter side, perfect for a quick lunch. Excellent service!
This was the best discovery of 2026. The food was so good & the drinks are out of this world. We haven't had dessert yet, but I bet it's gonna be amazing.
Si le couin de sourire est fort en sarcasme sur votre tête. Que le pain sans gluten vous empêches sur un tabouret tournant vers la rue de savourer un menu qui motive l'essai. Le cappuccino sera servi dans l'ambiance mi snack bar mi bar à vin. Le sandwich à la pistache tourne en plan B. Y retourner sans artichaud frais grillé sera moins enviable.
This bar apperitivo is a Gem. Beautiful setting , vibe & atmosphere. The food was delicioius. Benedetto provided us with exceptional service. This is a must try. We're definitely going back this summer.
The food was overpriced. $14 for a few nibbles of cheese & $18 for an ok bruschetta. The wait for food was extremely long (not sure why as it was just cheese with honey on top & toast with some tomatoes) & drink was forgotten, water never refilled. Waiter never came to check on us at all & we waited forever to try to pay & leave.
Hey Montréal, tucked away on a side street in downtown is a beautiful wine, cocktail & snack bar'Bar Edicola'
Here you will find traditional Italian dishes perfect for sharing from the fried artichokes to the creamy burrata & their plate of salumi which all pair well with a signature cocktail or glass of vino.

Stopped in for a bite after a long drive. It was perfect! The drinks were great & the snacks were tasty & really hit the spot. The servers were so kind.
What a great surprise. I was looking for a cappuccino & got myself into a cool, small bar with uplifting music. I let myself be tempted by an appetizer & an espresso martini; all was delicious. I would like to go back for the evening menu :)
Loved the place, food, service & atmosphere. The zucchini to start yummy. Campari cocktail amazing. The tuna with pistachio & arugula so fresh & delicious. The dessert Caprisi cake yum yum. Service is great. Thanks 😊
