Really enjoyed our dinner here. Spotted up at the bar - cool, unassuming, & unpretentious for how good the food & drink are. Don't miss the pork, potato, or the labneh. & save room for very sizable, delicious desserts (sticky toffee pudding).
Really enjoyed my visit here. The ambiance is lovely, & I loved the open-concept kitchen-it adds a lot of energy to the space. One thing to note though: the lighting is very bright earlier in the evening, so personally I wouldn't pick this spot for a first date (unless you're going for fully-lit, no-mystery vibes).
A heads-up for anyone booking: we were told that with a reservation, you're expected to order at least two plates per person. The portions are smaller & designed for sharing, so it makes sense, but it's definitely good to know going in.
Food-wise, highlights were the razor clams & tabbouleh-both tasted super fresh & vibrant. The labneh was great too, & the bread that came with it was good, but we definitely needed more bread to match the labneh-to-bread ratio. We also ordered the fries, which were a really generous portion, & the duck, which was delicious (slightly on the salty side) but worked really well with the mushrooms. We finished with a couple seafood pasta dishes-light overall, but the seafood really shone.
Overall, the price-to-quality ratio feels solid, & we had a great time trying a bunch of dishes.
Would recommend if you want to try something new!

Truly incredible dining experience. The food was creative & delicious combination of French & Middle Eastern, with bold & bright flavors. It was elevated & technically well executed, while still having heart & soul. (We had the labneh & the lamb tartare both served with homemade flatbread, the white asparagus with anchovy & maple, & the tonnarelli with sea urchin- wow! That dish was next level.) The atmosphere was fun & lively with a contemporary art deco vibe. We sat at the bar & had incredible service. Our bartender (shoutout to Bastien) was not only friendly, but seriously knowledgeable about wine, spirits, & the food. He tailored our evening to our likes & truly enriched our experience- hospitality at highest level. Highly recommend dining here.
Delightful dining experience at Bar St-Denis! The tasting menu showcased the chef's creativity & skill, with each dish expertly prepared & presented.
There were 5 services for the tasting menu: (1) salmon & razor clams, which were cooked to perfection & bursting with citrusy flavor & crunchy texture. (2) The veal tartare with sardines was a bold & intriguing combination, with the veal wonderfully seasoned & the sardines adding a welcome tanginess. However, this dish may not appeal to those who prefer milder flavors. The labneh bread that goes with the veal tartare was a revelation - soft, crunchy, & infused with delicate spices. (3) The gnocchi was cooked al dente, with a well-spiced sauce, although the slight bitterness of the greens may not suit every palate. (4) The duck magret was phenomenal, with a rich, balanced sauce that complemented the duck perfectly. The only misstep was the (5) toffee pudding cake, which was overly sweet.
Our wine selection, however, was fairly priced & paired well with our meal. The espresso martini was a highlight, with a perfect balance of vodka & espresso.
Our waitress was friendly & attentive, although she could have been more proactive in refilling our water glasses. Overall, we would highly recommend this place for a special occasion or nice dinner. While it may not become a regular haunt for us, it's definitely worth a visit! Thanks to the team; my husband & I had a great date night!
J'ai vraiment été déçue. Il n'y avait aucune complexité dans les saveurs, tout était bland (j'ai partagé avec des amies les pétoncles, cardeau, porc, labneh, falafel & tarte à l'oignon). TOUT était décevant. Le dessert était délicieux par contre (le cheesecake). Le service était bien aussi. & c'est définitivement dispendieux pour ce qu'on reçoit en retour.
endroit en-croy-able. had: falafel, leek, endives, labneh, topologically modified hot dog slice. probably the latter was the weakest & it was still great- a fun dish & great quality of the meats. every single other dish was.. a banger. great awareness of textures & knack for presentation. 👩🍳🤌💋
Great great great. Very cool & laidback but attentive & friendly service. Cocktails are delicious & a lot of the food was amazing, like the labneh. & of course, the interior is all vibes.

Cet endroit est polyvalent. On peut y aller autant pour un verre & une bouchée que pour un repas complet. J'ai opté pour la deuxième option & je n'ai pas été déçue. Je me suis régalée des pétoncles, du labneh, des pâtes aux bourgots, des poireaux & du boudin. L'utilisation de produits locaux tel le verjus a contribué à mon appréciation. Le service était très efficace, attentionné & sympathique. La carte des vins regorge de bons choix. La seule amélioration que je suggèrerais est de baisser un peu là luminosité. & oui, la facture peut monter vite, mais on paye pour de la qualité, & les prix sont comparables aux autres endroits de ce genre.
