Le Psy Bar vins et fromages offers a cozy, intimate atmosphere with a warm, knowledgeable staff guiding wine and cheese pairings, a wide selection of Quebec cheeses on platters, and a well curated wine list with options by the glass that makes it easy to explore. The setting is comfortable and atmospheric, with calm lighting that invites conversation, and the service is consistently friendly and attentive, making it a place to linger for a relaxed evening or a special night out. The menu is praised for quality over quantity, with excellent cheese and charcuterie boards and a few standout dishes like French onion soup and indulgent cocktails that pair nicely with the wines. While some guests note that portions on boards can be on the smaller side and the prices can be higher, the overall value is seen as fair given the quality, and many visitors describe leaving with a desire to return and broaden their palate in a welcoming family run environment.
Strange experience here... We were here early on a Saturday, around 5:30... Ordered the French onion soup (which is already premade in a big soup tureen - just needs to be poured into the bowl & cheese added on top), as well as the flight of three small grilled cheese sandwiches. It took us almost an hour to get our food, but there were only three couples in the restaurant & three employees... Prices for the mini grilled cheeses are also very high for the size of them (size of a baguette slice). Maybe their cheese platters are a better deal, but for what we ordered, it was quite disappointing
Expérience extraordinaire, la place est hyper cozy & le service extra chaleureux, notre serveuse Maude a été une vrai perle, elle nous a aidé à naviguer le menu & a été à notre écoute tout le long de notre souper. Les agencements de vins & fromages sont divin & parfaitement pairé, définitivement une place à essayer & retourner !

Incroyable ! Une superbe découverte. Si nous aurions pu donner plus que 5 étoiles nous l'aurions fait.
Merci Maude pour le service incroyable !
Des trois filles de l'Outaouais qui ont tellement hâte de goûter à la soupe à l'oignon.
Le Psy Bar, in Montreal, is one of Canada's hidden gems. Le Psy Bar specializes in cheese, wine & specialty cocktails. The atmosphere reminds me of going to your best friend's home for an evening of wine & cheeses. There's nothing like friends around a chacuterie board, sharing stories & celebrating friends & family! This evening I had the French Onion Soup which was, bar none, the best I've ever had. Paired with two incredible wines, followed by a chacuterie board with warm camenbert cheese, drizzed with honey, pickles & sausage. The portions are generous! Service is 1:1 by the owners, as they make everyone feel like they've known you for years. The summer months has the addition of an outdoor patio. The Psy Bar is a 5 Star +++++++++. Many thanks! I'll be back in the summer!
A group of friends & I were in Montreal for a couple of days & decided to stop by Le Psy for a quick drink & a light bite before continuing our night. What was meant to be a short visit turned into hours-thanks to the soft lighting, great music, & incredibly warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Jean-Yves is truly one of the most gracious & charming restaurateurs I've ever met. Although our group was mostly English-speaking, he made us feel completely at home-like longtime friends by the end of the night.
I could go on about how special the experience was, but I need to mention the food & drinks before you stop reading.
French onion soup is my favorite dish in the world-& a tricky one to get just right-but they've mastered it here. Every bite had the perfect balance: rich broth, caramelized onions, & a bold cheese crust that left us craving more. It simply is one of the best I've ever had.
I paired it with a fantastic Old Fashioned that was as delicious as it was entertaining to watch being crafted.
But the star of the night-one of the highlights of our entire trip-was the espresso martini. I've never had anything like it. When we asked how to recreate it, Jean-Yves generously walked us through the process, step by step.
On a trip where we set out to taste everything Montreal had to offer, we ended up returning to Le Psy the very next night. If you're still reading this, do yourself a favor, pull up a stool at Le Psy, & treat yourself to an unforgettable meal, a vibrant atmosphere, & some of the kindest people Montreal has to offer.
We'll be back in the years to come-thank you, Jean-Yves & team!
If you're craving the world's best onion soup paired with a perfect glass of wine, this is the place to be. In the mood for an incredible charcuterie board? Or just want to enjoy expertly crafted drinks in a warm, inviting atmosphere? Look no further.
The owner is exceptionally friendly & makes everyone feel welcome from the moment they walk in. Have questions about the cheeses or wines? They're incredibly knowledgeable & more than happy to help you find the perfect pairing.
Whether you're local or just visiting, this spot is a must. It's the ideal place for a casual night out or a romantic date, it's truly something special.
We had drinks, excellent French onion soup, & a wonderful selection of mini grilled cheese sandwiches which our server chose for us. Thank you for a very pleasant eating experience.

Toujours une belle expérience. Excellente sélection de vins & fromages. Toujours un bel accueil avec un service 5 étoiles sans prétention. La meilleure soupe à l'oignon en ville
Chill quiet wine bar. Excellent friendly efficient service. Wine suggestions were great. Cheeseboard is definitely recommended, especially with chorizo. Unfortunately the idea to have grilled cheeses with fancy cheeses is interesting in theory but doesn't work in practice. The bread wasn't anything special & was kinda burnt. Should have come with a spread or side to bring out the flavour of the cheese. The French onion soup was really bitter. Not a big fan of the red wine sausage.
Très belle place, belle décoration, bon vin, bonne soupe à l'oignon & de bons plateaux. Service sympathique & agréable, rien à redire.
Conseil, allez découvrir cette place mais par contre, prévoyez que un budget d'au moins 50$ par personne pour profiter des dégustations & passer une belle soirée 😊.
Par contre aucunement, accessible aux personnes à mobilité réduite
