Très beau restaurant avec une belle ambiance! Les assiettes sont assez petites pour le prix. Il y a peu d'options végétariennes encore moins vegan. Service impeccable & rapide!
We happened upon this place on Canadian Thanksgiving when a bunch of other spots were not open. Group of 4 of us had brunch here & were thoroughly impressed, especially by their homemade foccacias. Also appreciated the pistachio latte which wasn't too sweet. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town!

Fantastic restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere. The service was extremely friendly & welcoming. It's an excellent place to enjoy a good time with loved ones. They don't take reservations. The food was fresh & absolutely delicious. Great vegetarian options. The pistachio tiramisu was heavenly. 10/10
I recently visited Barbara Vin in Montreal with two friends for dinner & drinks, & overall, it was a great experience with a few minor downsides. Since they don't take reservations, we had to wait in line, which was a bit long, but the host was really accommodating. About halfway through the wait, he brought us to a little corner spot to browse the drink menu & enjoy a drink while we waited, which was a nice touch. He also offered us seating on the terrace, which is absolutely beautiful, but unfortunately, you can't have alcohol out there due to permit restrictions. The restaurant itself is very cute & fun, with cool decor that adds to the ambiance. We shared burrata, focaccia, parmesan fries as appetizers, followed by two pasta dishes (cacio e pepe & campanelle), which was plenty for the three of us. Everything was delicious! I had an Amaro Limonata, which was amazing, & my friends enjoyed margaritas. The drinks were good & affordable, but they were on the smaller side. While the vibe was super cool, the service was a little slow, & it took a while for our food to arrive. Despite that, I'd definitely go back & would recommend this spot to others. It's worth the wait!
I had such an amazing time here today !! I loved the ambiance , upbeat music , fresh flowers & candles! The food & drinks were delicious & my server Ophélie was so friendly & nice !! Can't wait to come back & highly recommend!!
À notre arrivée on à été bousculer à faire un choix en 3 minutes, la serveuse EXTREMEMENT BÊTE AUCUN SOURIRE, pas à l'écoute du client & la bouffe très décevant, juste nos 2 drinks qui était pas pire, pas à recommander.....

Super ambiance, super service & bonne cuisinr !. Nous avons été servi par Lem au bar & il était adorable. Il nous a fait de superbes suggestions & nous a fait goûter plusieurs options pour s'assurer que c'était à notre goût. Nous y retournerons sans hésiter !
