I recently had the pleasure of visiting Vivette Pastèque, & I just have to share how lovely it was. Their wine selection is honestly a little treasure trove-you'll find something delightful for any taste. & can we talk about Jan? Gen is absolutely wonderful, super attentive & really adds that extra sparkle to the experience. Oh, & the brunches? They're just deliciously good-the kind that makes you want to come back for more cozy weekend vibes. Definitely a spot worth visiting!

Lovely wine bar with good selection of food on a rotating menu & cocktails + mocktails are good too, although on the pricier side (~20$ each) but that seems to be the average nowadays at places like these. Tried their focaccia, pasta, broccolini & duck, all delicious. Great place for sharing plates & vibes are nice for dinner although a little dark. Would come back to try more of their food! Resos were also convenient.

Excellent wine selection, delicious food, combined with an intriguing atmosphere. We would highly recommend this place to anyone living in or visiting the old port of Montreal. Additionally, the service we received was outstanding. Looking forward to returning soon.

One of my favorite places in all of Montréal! This is such a cute spot if you are looking for something lowkey with a high end but hip vibe with a great wine selection in the Old Port of Montréal. The music selection was very chill yet versatile. In addition, the staff did a great job with recommendations of the elaborate food, drink & wine list. There wasn't along wait for anything at all. Genevieve & Arnaud deserve a raise with how they both manage their staff during the times of rushes. Would recommend this spot 10/10 times to anyone. Can't wait to visit again for my tequila smash.

Excellent food even if the quantities are modest. But all very good. Beautiful music, excellent services & delicious rosé wine. We took a selection of cheeses which explained to us in which order to taste.

Came here with colleagues last night & although we did not have the opportunity to try the food, we had an amazing selection of drinks. I personally enjoyed the lavender sour so much that I had to have a second one! The staff were super helpful & friendly, & the general vibe of the bar is awesome. A cool kind of modern art deco take with large windows looking out into the old port street. I will definitely be back & I'll be sure to try the food next time around!
