Polari is Villeray’s newest natural wine bar. With only a couple of tables and a handful of bar seats, the cozy room is perfect for sipping on a great selection of wines from small producers paired with a short menu filled with top-quality products from excellent Québec artisans, such as bread from Hof Kelsten and charcuterie from Aliments Viens.

Review Summary

Polari comes across as a charming neighborhood wine bar in a converted space, with an intimate, welcoming vibe and a staff that is friendly, knowledgeable and ready to guide guests through a well curated wine list and a simple menu of snacks and small plates. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, with low lighting and a terrace that adds to the experience, making it ideal for after work, a casual date, or catching up with friends. Portions tend to be small, encouraging sampling across dishes, while the wines are varied, affordable, and consistently delicious, with cocktails and a modest beer list as solid alternatives. The overall impression is one of authenticity and care, with no fuss and a sincere attention to quality. A rare caveat notes an occasional cold or impersonal moment from staff, but the space, concept, and wine program keep Polari a beloved local staple.

What an incredible addition to the neighborhood, nay the city in general! The space is intimate & warm! Perfect for an after work glass of wine, evening with friends, cute date or just hanging out with a book at the bar. Everyone who works there is charming & knowledgeable & can take you on a glorious wine journey. The perfect vibe & quite frankly - the perfect wine bar. ❤?

Stopped by for a couple of drinks before dinner.
Friendly staff, but only counter service which is kinda silly for a wine bar.
Had a glass of wine & a cocktail, both were good.
They take the minimal industrial look a little too far I find. The low light makes it feel intimate, but otherwise it felt uninviting.
