Had the weakest muffuletta I've had in my entire life. I guess, I'm not the target audience since I don't really care for decor. But I can see how instagram sensitive people would like this. Then again, there's Elena right down the street.
Bar Bara is absolutely fantastic. The cacio e pepe is a true classic, perfectly creamy & flavorful every time, & the focaccia is always insane, soft, airy, & packed with flavor.
Be aware that there are no reservations, so be prepared to wait, but it's totally worth it. A must-visit spot
$130 later for lunch & STILL HUNGRY . The crudo was one scallop cut in 4 pieces . Very disappointing. Pasta portion very small .
Nice restaurant with dog.
Delicious shrimps spaghetti & oyster
Tiramisu is good dessert
Al ragu pastas were really good, perfect portion & balanced flavors !!!
Amazing service- I mean just for that you should go.
Place is a neo-rustic.as chic as it gets.
Don't miss your opportunity to visit
Loved our server, the hostess, the speed at which our food came! my partner & i came here for my 25th bday & I was more than pleased!
Love this place! Their food is delicious. The ambiance of their restaurant feels so warm, especially during cold winter months. One of my favourite spots in Montreal. ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
This place is the perfect restaurant. I love their food so much & every order I have made her has never disappointed me. The service is quick & wonderful & the drinks are always ab awesome accompaniment to the food. This place is great for any occasion at any time of the day & their vibes & atmosphere are perfect for conversations. Just know it's a walk in restaurant only.
Great food, decent price, music is a bit too loud for my taste but very nice experience.
L'endroit est beau, le service est efficace. Cependant, la carte du midi (au moins) est décevante : elle est peu développée (choix de pâtes limité) & les portions manquent singulièrement de générosité. Le plat nommé « crudo » est du vol caractérisé (20 dollars pour une flaque de citron avec des lamelles translucides de pétoncles, vraiment !?!?). Servez des carbonaras, des bolognaises, plats simples & réconfortants.
Service was perfect, & ambiance was awesome, we came 15 before they closed & they still took us with a BIG SMILE & great energy! thanks to i our waiter who was absolutely brilliant.
We went for dinner on Sunday night 11/01/26
Where do I begin ..?! This place is amazing, the music, the food, the service, 10/10. It was such a pleasure to be served by Yan, he was super attentive & friendly the whole night. The ambiance of the restaurant, although big & full of customers, felt quaint & warm. The music set the tone & the food was incredible. We shared some appetizers & mains, the drinks were good too. Bathrooms are private & clean. I recommend this place if you're looking for a nice night out with some friends or a date.
Wow! Perfect neighborhood spot with great food, personable staff & a legit wine selection. Stumbled in here on a slammed NYE & they got us in at the bar, highlight of our New Years!
Fantastic atmosphere, delicious food & amazing service. Highly recommend.
Food is decent- nothing amazing but good enough to return with friends where fun vibes is the focus. Ambiance is fun, on the younger side, with loud music. Service was good. We were near the windows so the food/coffee didn't stay warm for long (we went in the winter). Overall good enough. I'd agree to go back, but it would be someone else's idea.
**Weird spot for the service station, considering the locale is not big. Don't know why the owners spent extra $ to partition it with a glass panel. There's nothing to see there & it didn't help to muffle the continuous cacophony of the cutlery & plates. Weird design call. Impacted visitor experience.
Notre serveuse était extraordinaire. Les pâtes & les polpettes étaient délicieuses. Nous avons été accompagné dans le choix du vin c'était apprécié!
From the greeting we knew it would be a great evening. The staff felt like family & welcomed us from the first our first step into this beautiful setting restaurant. We had focaccia, traditional salt & rosemary which reminded me of my Nonna's when I was young. Excellent wine selection too. We also had the calamari as a side dish. Our main meal was the famous caccio & Pepe & squash agnolotti in a buttery sage sauce. Both dishes were well portioned not to over stuff us. We even had place for an excellent carrot cake with some caramel on top. My wife & I totally enjoyed & wish to share this culinary establishment. The entire team there were looked very proud of their work & food. I would give 6 stars for service if possible.
