Review Summary

Le Rouge Gorge comes across as a stylish yet approachable spot with a beautiful interior and a cozy, welcoming vibe. The bar scene and overall atmosphere are standout, with well crafted cocktails, a serious wine list, and a sophisticated but relaxed mood that fits both dates and nights out with friends. Service is frequently praised for attentiveness and friendliness, with staff described as knowledgeable and helpful, though a few notes about slower or inconsistent service and some loud moments appear. The menu is small but strong, with items such as ceviche, fried chicken, crudo, and other shareable bites receiving praise, while portions can feel small and prices can be on the higher side for some guests. The overall experience blends a high end feel with good value for quality, particularly for drinks and wine, and the place is repeatedly recommended as a top spot to visit. The ambience ranges from a convivial bar to a chic speakeasy downstairs, offering different vibes for different evenings. Most reviewers say they would return and that the place leaves a memorable impression with tasty food and excellent drinks.

Acceuil très bon & le menu de dégustation de vin les mardi vaut le détour. Vivement le retour des dégustations de vin.

Merci infiniment pour la soirée! Nous avons fêté les 50 ans de mon amoureuse dans votre Speakeasy & les invités ont positivement halluciné sur la qualité de la nourriture, des vins, du service, de l' ambiance, de la musique, du décor... wow! Vous êtes définitivement devenus notre endroit préféré! On se revoit très bientôt!

Très bonne sélection de vin; menu équilibré choix & prix. Un bistro-restau où on peut réfléchir & discuter calmement en après-midi.

Another great place to grab a drink & this place was buzzing even on a Tuesday night. I had two drinks, the Buster Keaton, which was delicious & the Gianni Giuliano which was great & quite strong. There are a lot of cocktails to chose from so you will surely be able to find one you like. They are also know for their wine bar, & although I am not a wine drinker, this is great as it can cater to more people in your group. The food was good, but we only had a little snack, the figs. Service was great, as I noted it was full, so we sat at the bar but were given a table as soon as one was available. The place is also not too loud, as the music is kept at a reasonable level so you can talk to each other. Drinks are around $15, so pretty standard from my experience. If you eat also, it can get pricy, but I cannot comment on the food much.

Go for the drinks, not the food. High end price for mid range food. Drinks & staff are great ! Speakeasy is great for events! Will return !

Ambiance sympathique & décontractée, toutefois le service & les prix laissent à désirer. Gérant ou maître d'hôtel arrogant, pompeux & totalement déplacé, serveuse qui ne décroche pas un sourire du repas, des airs d'être dérangée toute la soirée, facture salée de 950$, clairement, nous n'y remettrons plus les pieds. Il y a des offres bien plus agréables & moins coûteuses.

Même si le bar était bondé (vendredi soir dernier), le service était excellent, j'étais impressionnée. Tout le personnel était hyper courtois, attentif en plus d'être vraiment efficace. Vous leur transmetterez le compliment! :) Cocktails originaux & variés. Pas tous aussi bien balancés mais le cocktail tiki avec du falernum était excellent (si on aime les cocktails tiki).

Nice restaurant, great vibes, chill place to have a glass of wine or cocktail with friends! We are not wine connoisseurs, they offered for us try one with the description of what we said we liked in a wine! 1st fast was a charm! We sat at the bar, & the barman was adorable, super friendly! We also had the « fondue au chocolat » with passion fruit dessert! It was a big enough portion for 2! Yummy! Downstairs near the toilets, they have a more lively, club vibe, let's danse section! If you feel like shaking things up a little! *coat check was complimentary 🥰

Personnel très sympathique, ambiance chaleureuse & pour mon dernier jour le barman a offert un bon calvados à la normande d'adoption que je suis.

Endroit très sympa : on peut s'y rendre sans reservation. Vins & mets de qualité servis par les très sympathiques Sam & Victor. Un peu trop bruyant peut-être...

This is my top tier date wine bar, & Rouge Gorge has for me, the best sommeliers in town. I love how dynamic & *fun* ordering a glass of wine is at this place. I have never felt bad about my vocabulary or wine background here, & am grateful for everything the staff have taught me. I recommend the popcorn shrimp, & I dream about their salad.

Service was great. The food was rather good (depending on what you order) but came in very small portions relative to price. It is a nice place well designed but it is a very loud environment & we were sitting downstairs were it s supposed to be more calm - don t expect to have full on conversations. Overall it was rather nice, but a bit disappointing.

Super endroit, nous avons passé notre party de Noël dans le bar à l'étage en dessous, & tout s'est parfaitement déroulé. Nourriture & boissons de bonne facture, & le personnel très sympa ! :)
