Such an amazing experience at Minnibar! From the moment we walked in, everything was perfect. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, with such a chic, modern atmosphere & a really great vibe.
The food was delicious & beautifully presented, & the cocktails were amazing. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, & thoughtfully prepared. What really stood out, though, was the service - everyone was so friendly, attentive, & welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.
Definitely one of the new spots in Montreal that I'll be coming back to. Highly recommend Minnibar if you're looking for great food, amazing drinks, & a beautiful atmosphere! ✨
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.
Where modern interior design meets tasteful classic dishes with a twist.
The extensive blend of flavours leaves you curiously excited for the next dish.
I will go back again!
An absolute gem with a trendy, energetic atmosphere & a cool, modern vibe. The space is beautifully designed, creating the perfect setting for a night out with friends or a date night. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, & packed with incredible flavor. The quality of the ingredients & attention to detail were evident in every bite. Combined with attentive service & a welcoming ambiance, this was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. Highly recommend & will definitely be returning.
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.
Found out about this place by driving by & came for lunch. Their menu is primarily Italian with some Japanese inflections here & there. They have a full kitchen, a good cocktail & wine list, & serve coffee to go as well.
Whenever a new Italian restaurant opens, I like to order carbonara pasta to test their cuisine. It's a simple dish, but one that's shockingly easy to mess up if some small details are sidestepped. Turns out, minnibar's is one of the best I've had. The bucatini is al dente, the egg slurry perfectly creamy & yolky, the guanciale crispy, & the pecorino perfectly judged with freshly cracked pepper to boot. Everything is exactly where it should be, & I highly recommend it.
The waiter was extremely nice & attentive & I felt well cared for (though I should note the restaurant was almost empty when I visited); he explained they opened less than a week ago & are still adjusting their cocktails & some of their menu. The Creamsicle cocktail was tasty & definitely reminded me of its namesake. Surprisingly, it was quite spirit forward; my kind of cocktail, but tastes will differ & some may prefer something sweeter.
I had a very moist carrot cake with white chocolate for dessert (very good, freshly made in their kitchen) & an americano to go which was smooth with no off-notes & no acidic notes. Lastly, the spot is cute with a nice minimalist/modern decor; it's well-located within the Finale apartment building. There's a direct street entrance on Mansfield. I'll definitely be returning.
Excellent food & cocktails, served in a stunning modern location, conviennent parking across the street & easy metro access. Staff was very friendly & owner Steve was a gracious host
