Nhau bar propose une expérience de fusion distinctive où les éléments traditionnels croisent des techniques de mixologie moderne pour créer une atmosphère unique. Les clients découvrent un menu axé sur des préparations de tartare sophistiquées qui mettent en valeur des ingrédients de qualité et des profils de saveurs mondiaux audacieux. L'esthétique architecturale intègre des textures industrielles associées à un éclairage soigné pour définir un environnement délibéré et précis pour les habitués. Une exécution culinaire habile garantit que chaque assiette maintient un équilibre entre textures brutes et complexité assaisonnée. Le programme de bar reflète cette approche en offrant des cocktails inventifs qui utilisent des infusions non conventionnelles et des styles de présentation pointus. Cet établissement sert de point de ralliement pour ceux recherchant des en-cas raffinés et des libations puissantes dans un cadre dynamique privilégiant la substance sur la formalité.
Nhau bar est largement reconnu comme une destination unique et intime, appréciée pour son décor remarquable, son esthétique inspirée du style Tiki et ses cocktails exceptionnels. De nombreux clients soulignent le talent des barmans pour équilibrer des saveurs complexes, tandis que les plats, notamment les brocolis frits et le pad thaï, sont très bien notés pour leur qualité. Bien que le service soit souvent décrit comme attentionné, chaleureux et professionnel, certains visiteurs ont rapporté des expériences contrastées concernant l'accueil et le confort. L'ambiance vibrante et la sélection musicale sont fréquemment citées comme des atouts majeurs, bien que plusieurs convives aient noté que le volume sonore peut devenir excessif en soirée, nuisant parfois à l'atmosphère feutrée et conviviale du lieu.
Fantastic, impeccable with great lounge music. Their drinks were delicious & their food was spectacular. We ordered the degustation experience with 5 plates. All the food was fantastic, lot of different flavours. You have to try their fries broccoli. Will definitely come back.
Nous avons découvert le Nhau en cherchant un endroit dans le Vieux-Montréal pour célébrer le passage à la nouvelle année. L'ambiance aperçue de l'extérieur semblait propice à la fête. Nous avons donc payé 50 $ pour deux places au bar à 22h 30, avec l'intention de manger une bouchée & de prendre quelques cocktails avant le décompte.
À notre arrivée, le bar était pratiquement vide & nous avons constaté que nos «places» étaient debout, sans tabourets ni espace réel pour s'installer confortablement. Aucune information claire ne nous avait été donnée au moment de l'achat à ce sujet.
L'offre sur place ne correspondait pas à nos attentes : ambiance inexistante & aucune valeur ajoutée justifiant le prix payé.
Nous avons quitté aussitôt entrée. Pour un événement aussi particulier que le Nouvel An, un minimum de transparence & de considération envers la clientèle serait essentiel.
We were having a great time last night . Great drinks & great atmosphere. We were seated & had a table & all of a sudden very rudely we were asked to leave the table because there was allegedly a reservation. The waiter said only bottle service at the table, however, it had been over 1 h 30 mins wee were at the table having drinks, which by the way are not cheap at at all. Cheapest cocktail with tax & tips is $20 & my friend paid $38 for 2 glasses of red wine.I told the waiter my friend wanted to order a bottle of wine to which she answered: other people will order more expensive bottles than that. I was so pissed. The table next to us, which we didn't know, offered us to be with them, but the waiter said with attitude: it will be too crowded. I then talked to the guy that took the table & told him what happened. He told me he didn't have a reservation but in order for him to enter the bar he was told he needed to buy a bottle. Long story short, we were treated like garbage after being already consuming in the place & having a good time. The worst part is that the 2 women servers lied to us & didn't even feel sorry & they felt this was normal to treat customers like this. Never going back again.

We had an amazing time at Nhau! It's a great space with some thoughtful attention to detail, such as some lovely incense staff attended to that really made the space warm & inviting.
You'll find tiki & tiki-inspired drinks here, & while that usually suggests tropical, fruity, & pretty sweet libations, bartender Kali really shines at balancing everything!
It got busy later in the evening & she was a whirlwind behind the bar, but was also bubbly & passionate about the craft when we had any questions, taking the time to discuss & engage with us. She is excellent at bringing in a beautiful savoury element to the drinks, & just has this intuitive spark; one of my later orders was pretty good, but didn't quite hit like the others, & she somehow just knew. Without a word, Kali later whisked it away & in moments redid it from scratch, proclaiming,'I like to make this one a little different...' & it became something special, more beet-forward, balanced, & layered.
There is a crowded lineup of top cocktail destinations in this city, but some have been resting on past accolades & become complacent. Nhau demonstrates the ability to brawl with the best of them, & has easily become one of our cocktail bars to revisit the next time we return to Montreal!
Went for cocktails after dinner - great place, loved the vibe & decor. Kinda Tiki-inspired with little lanterns & fun cocktails. Staff was amazing & fun. Music was good. Danced a little bit on an otherwise empty dance floor ;) It was a Thursday night so a bit quieter, but apparently it gets really busy on weekend nights! Will come back for sure.
Great bar, great food (main dishes & entree). Very good service (i think her name is Mathis). If you don't know what you want, she'll know what to suggest based on preferences. A friend requested a mocktail off the menu & it was very tasty. Went for a birthday with 6 people & it was a vibe.
