A popular place to drink, eat and dance, with local cuisine that changes with the seasons, vegan options, and over a hundred different wines by the bottle and a dozen or so by the glass. Welcome to our guinguette!
Bar Verdun Beach is described as a lively, inviting spot with creative shared plates, a strong wine list, and attentive service, and the terrace is a particular draw in warm weather. The food is frequently praised for quality and balance, with many dishes highlighted as delicious and visually appealing, and the bar and drinks program receiving positive notes. Several reviews note that the concept of tasting or sharing plates works well for groups and celebrations, and the staff can accommodate allergies and offer helpful wine pairings, with some mentions of private rooms and flexible billing for larger parties. Value is a common thread, with some guests feeling that prices can be high for the portion sizes and that promos may be misleading compared with ordering the same items a la carte. Noise and pacing can be an issue when the place is busy, and a few visits mention slower service or being seated near large groups. Overall, Bar Verdun Beach emerges as a standout for food lovers and wine enthusiasts seeking a lively, upscale casual experience, especially in the summer, while keeping expectations in line with portion sizes and price.
Great beach bar vibe with an interesting & well-cooked variety of small plates. Service was friendly & relaxed, & the wine & beer lists were well chosen.
Initial service was not great - the hostess was kind of rude & not very helpful. We got a table in the back & it took forever for our waitress to arrive. However, once she came, she was very helpful, kind, & apologetic. Overall ok, but I don't know that I feel compelled to revisit.
The wine & beer is good. But the food is very average & overpriced for the quality. My girlfriend ordered the cauliflower gnocchi. It was an extremely small portion & tasted almost just like butter pasta. I ordered the butcher choice of the day. I misheard the waiter & thought I was going to get some beef (my fault not the waiters). Turned out it was a single pork chop with no sides. I found 40$ for a half decent porc chop with no sides quite excessive. Definitely a place to go for drinks. There are so many better places on Wellington for food & to get better value for your money.

One of my FAVOURITE spots for good food & good wine. Their wine selection is phenomenal & the servers all seem to know their stuff. The food is pretty good, but mostly small bites so don't expect a full meal. I'd advise to make a reservation as they fill up really fast. Can be quite loud inside when they're full & have the music blasting, but the patio out in the back is lovely
Food is good, nothing spectacular, but the service is so weird. I've been to both the restaurant & Verdun beef next door & it's just super unwelcoming & the interaction are almost comical... I just don't get it. Maybe it's a bit of pretentiousness? Also weird they have employees writing five star reviews for themselves.
By far one of my top restaurants in Montreal! So good that ordering one of everything from the menu is an absolute must (& also a perfect amount for sharing with a group of 4). I love that their menu is always changing, & the drinks are just as amazing!
Première fois , je m'attendais à plus, menu dégustation bon, mais sans plus, le service impeccable, pour les vins , la carte est composée essentiellement de vin nature, j'ai découvert que je ne suis pas un amateur de vin nature.
Went here for a girls' night out & really had a great time! Fantastic atmosphere, great service, delicious wine & food. We shared a few dishes, but the mackerel & the sea bass really stood out for us! I wish there was more in each plate for sharing, but other than that, we had a great time, & I'd come back again!
C'est de la haute cuisine! J'ai été vraiment impressionné Le menu 5 service " plat a partager" est totalement sublime. Le staff est très sociable & attentionné. Bravo
