Reviews of Monopole describe a warm, sociable staff and a superb wine list, with food that many call excellent and sometimes transporting, featuring dishes like gnocchi, osso buco with polenta, gravlax, bruschetta with caviar, quenelles de sebaste, and bavette steak with kale caesar, plus a cheesecake mousse that pleases. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with a décor that feels cozy, and prices are seen as a bit high but fair for the quality. Personal service and attentiveness are repeatedly praised, and many diners say they would return or highly recommend the place, especially for celebrations with a group menu and good portions. Some downsides appear: seating near the entrance can be uncomfortable for longer meals, the restaurant can be very busy and loud which makes conversations hard, and a few guests felt disappointed by the noise and crowd. Overall the place is viewed as a memorable, worthy stop for wine lovers and foodies, with strong loyalties and plans to come back.
my new fav wine bar in montreal. great selection, amazing service, great vibes & reasonable prices. we went on a friday around 5 & it wasn't too busy but still good energy. later in the night there will be a line / be very busy but it was a nice balance right after work. we got the olives, cheese & i think every red they had on the menu. next time im back in the city ill be coming here for sure.
Felix is the best chef I've seen. He looks masterful behind his apron. A combination of fire & class. The pan con tomate redefines garlic bread & bruschetta. Omg. Vince... what to say of the beautiful Vince. Incredible service. #redpowerrangervibes
Charming, small & underrated restaurant that has one of the best beer & wine list in Montreal. Food is consistently good & service is friendly, passionate & knowledgeable.
Resto vraiment surprenant. On ne se doute pas que ce petit café offre un menu gastronomique le soir à prix plus que raisonnable avec des produits québécois, simple, très bien fait & d'une finesse surprenante. Service très sympathique. On y retourneras c'est certain! Mise à jour : après 7 ans toujours aussi bon, service impecable. Si vous voulez goûter à de bons vins en importation privée, ils sauront vous conseiller.

Super belle découverte! C'est un petit resto super cute & chaleureux! Les serveur sont très aimables, souriants & attentifs. Le vin que j'ai pris (chablis 2020) était délicieux & j'ai pu bien le déguster, car ils ont des coupes à vin Riedel 🍷qui sont sublimes! J'ai pris le crabe des neiges par conseille du serveur & je ne regrette pas! Les saveurs du vin & du crabe se mariaient à la perfection! ✨Nous avons également pris le Gravlax & c'était juste exquis! L'ambiance est très cute & je crois que c'est un bell endroit pour une date ou just pour aller se prendre un verre après le travail. 👌🏽Cependant, puisque l'espace est petit, les tables sont très près unes des autres & c'est un peu bruyant.
Meilleur service de Montréal ! Les vins sont incroyables, il y en a pour tous les goûts. Plats de saison qui changent toutes les semaines ou presque. Les propriétaires sont des montréalais.
for lunch or dinner it's always a pleasure to go to this place. Food is always creative & savoury. The choice of wine is fantastic & the staff nice & friendly.
