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.

Tiny place with great wine selection. Sadly not a lot of food options, & the plates they have are laughably small & overpriced (chips & ranch dip, beans, the butt of a baguette with one sliver of butter). I would come back for a glass of wine before dinner, but not more.

J'adore ce petit bar très sympathique, sans prétention avec des verres de vin par chers & bons & des petits trucs à grignoter qui sont délicieux. L'été avec la porte de garage ouverte c'est frais & vivant & l'hiver super cozy. Bref le petit spot de quartier parfait pour toute l'année!

Quel bel ajout sur de Castelnau! Un parfait endroit pour prendre l'apéro : des verres de vin abordables, des bonnes grignotines ainsi qu'un bon service. J'y serai régulièrement.
