Currently sitting at the bar with these delicious oysters plate for the happy hour (35$/12 oysters) & needed to leave a comment as the service here is great, especially the guy buzzcut hair bartender who make the BEST espresso martinis.
Place is very cute as well.
100% recommend.
Fantastic food, friendly staff, great ambiance, & absolutely delicious cocktails! William treated us like old friends (even though it was only our second time there) & made us feel so welcome. Needless to say, the service here is unlike any other bar I've been too. Great staff through & through. Hugo's cocktails are also incredibly noteworthy. We've been to some great cocktail bars across the city, but his drinks are top shelf! The Princess Peach Special is one of the best I've had, the Jahannam Jam is perfection, as are his classic Margheritas! They have gained two new regulars for sure!
Bar Pamplemousse is a must-visit in the Quartier des Spectacles! The cocktails are insanely good, super creative, & always hit the spot. The staff is awesome, helpful & friendly. Perfect for a night out with friends during their monthly events or for unwinding after your 9-to-5. Definitely a place you'll want to keep coming back to!
Bar Pomplemousse? More like bar Pompousmousse. Ok. Dad joke aside. We arrived & despite it being not overly busy, we had to wait an extremely long time to get seated. We then got menus fairly fast, but then waited again for at least 15 minutes for any service came to take our order. We actually started a timer on my phone to see how long we had to wait. The drinks were great. We then waited for a check up. We waited & no one came to ask if we wanted another drink or the cheque. We decided to leave. We waited *again* at the exit waiting for anyone to come by to let us pay the bill. We started a timer yet again. The main bartender finally came & we paid our bill. First time not leaving a tip. Didn't like having to do that. The guy was really nice & apologetic, but the service at least in our experience was kind of garbage. Again, that was our experience, & yours may be different. & I want to stress that the drinks were good. I hope they take this review & re assess their service
The dishes are excellent, I highly suggest the carrots & hummus couldn't even choose which one I liked more, the atmosphere is great & your bartender Sam provides excellent service, I'll definitely be back.
