Absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff made me & my friends feel genuinely welcome. The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere.
Every dish from the lobster pasta, MB burger, carbonara pizza & cesar salad was fresh, full of flavor, & beautifully presented. You can tell that the ingredients are high quality & that a lot of care goes into every plate. The service was attentive, friendly, & efficient without ever feeling rushed.
It's exciting to have such a great new restaurant in the area. I'll definitely be coming back, & I'll be recommending it to friends & family.

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.
Le service était excellent! Le personnel est très sympathique & l'ambiance est très agréable! Personnellement mes environnements pour manger doivent êtres très propre & mes attentes ont été dépassés au minnibar! & leur pizza est simplement délicieuse & parfaitement cuite! Je recommande fortement!!
Drinks were nice, the pal4you was refreshing & citrusy. Carbonara pizza was undercooked in half, with one portion of the crust having actual raw bread dough in it. The flavours were there & the ingredients were fresh, growing pains for a new restaurant I presume.
Loved every dish on the dinner menu!
The food was excellent & the service was extremely elevated. Stand out dishes for me include: the lobster caviar roll
the burger
the pizza
the chicken tenders &
the caesar salad
