This place is super cute & really well designed. The atmosphere is modern, welcoming, & somewhere I'd happily spend time with friends.

We tried a few different items, & overall I really enjoyed the meal. The truffle mushroom pizza was the standout. The flavours were delicious, & the dough was soft & fluffy, although it was slightly undercooked in the centre for my liking.

The cheese sticks were good, but they didn't quite wow me. I wasn't a huge fan of the cheese that was used, although the dipping sauces were excellent overall. The only one I didn't enjoy was the green sauce-it had a strong horseradish flavour (or something similar) that overpowered the rest.

The fries were fantastic-crispy, well seasoned, & easily one of my favourite parts of the meal. The chicken tenders were also nicely crispy, but I found the chicken itself could have used a bit more seasoning. Thankfully, the sauces added plenty of flavour.

Our server was amazing, she answered all the questions & checked in on us & was always close by.

Overall, it's a spot I'd definitely come back to. There are still plenty of pizzas & menu items I'd love to try, & based on this visit, I think it's worth another trip.

Minnibar Review - A Fresh Gem Steps from the Bell Centre

Minnibar is the new restaurant that just opened in the Finale Condominium building, literally steps away from the Bell Centre. I've already visited twice in the last couple of weeks & can confidently say it's a welcome addition to the area.

Lunch
The daytime menu offers a nice variety: sandwiches, pastas, salads, & pizzas. I went with the chicken katsu paired with a Caesar salad & was genuinely impressed. The katsu was crispy, juicy, & full of flavor, with a thoughtful twist that makes it stand out. It's the kind of sandwich you'd expect in a much more established spot - nothing quite like it nearby. Their house coffee blend was another pleasant surprise: rich, smooth, & genuinely excellent. They open at 7am, so this might quickly become my go-to morning coffee stop.

Dinner
I returned a few days later for the evening menu. The space looks great (modern, comfortable, & well-designed), & they had the Habs game on the big screen, which added to the relaxed vibe. We ordered the chicken tenders, fries, burger, & carbonara pizza. Every single dish was delicious. What really stands out is how they take classic comfort food & give it an upscale, refined touch without losing what makes it craveable. The carbonara pizza in particular was excellent.

The service was attentive & genuinely friendly on both visits, which made the experience even better. Whether you're looking for a quick lunch, morning coffee, a casual night with friends, or a date night, Minnibar feels like it can do it all.

Final Verdict: Highly recommended. Great food, solid execution, & a welcoming atmosphere right by the Bell Centre. I'll definitely be back - probably many times.
