About

Restaurant Bar Vivar operates as a vibrant hybrid space that functions as both a curated market and a Spanish-inspired eatery. Patrons find an assortment of high-quality imported goods, such as artisanal cheeses, cured meats, and specialized pantry staples that reflect authentic Iberian culinary traditions. The preparation of hot plates prioritizes bold, simple flavors characteristic of classic Mediterranean cooking techniques. Seasonal vegetables, fresh seafood, and savory tapas dominate the menu, providing a focused selection of small plates designed for communal consumption. Wooden accents and minimalist shelving define the aesthetic, bridging the gap between a functional retail environment and a casual dining destination. This dual-concept establishment ensures that guests can shop for gourmet ingredients while simultaneously engaging with the rich, unpretentious flavors of regional Spanish recipes.

Very special place. Recommend sitting at the bar which opens to the kitchen. I got the sardine Caesar salad & one of the croquettes of the day, both were delicious. I also had a black vermouth which I loved as well. The service was very friendly & for the quality of food the prices were more than fair. Definitely would return here on my next visit.

In Spain, to test the quality of a bar/restaurant, one orders a gilda. It is all about simple & good ingredients. At Vivar, they are a disaster, way too many tiny things that anyway all taste of bad vinegar. That combines with the acrid manzanilla, that tastes of nail polish. If one factors in the price - not cheap - it is really a place to avoid.

Hidden gem restaurant. Was in Spain a week ago & felt like I was still there. High quality ingredients, great service & cute spot. You must go there if you want good Galician food at a reasonable price!

Plonk good, food better, the kitchen knows what they're doing, delicious + lots of choice, sauce on the croquetas (sic) was glossy & punchy, they're making their own ice cream, its just quality for money

Spectacular tortilla de patatas (Spanish omelette), delicious matrimonio (quality boquerones!) & a solid plate of'Spanish Breakfast'. I'm delighted to have a bar like Bar Vivar in my neighborhood, & can't wait to go back for more.

Authentic & delicious food that you can't get elsewhere. High quality ingredients & gourmet preparation. Certainly the best spanish tapas restaraunt in Montreal.The owner Georges is awesome & very friendly service from the front of house. Warm & intimate atmosphere transports you to the type of tapas bar you would find in Spain. Highly reccomended!

Really love this restaurant. The quality of the food & service is like fine dining yet the vibe is unpretentious & inviting. It feels like a place you could go for a casual brunch, a fancy dinner, or drinks before a night out. The croquetas, tortilla, the head cheese croissant & the calamari bagel were all fantastic. The Ensaladilla Rusa was the stand out dish for me as it's pretty impressive to make a potato salad taste that good! Definitely looking forward to going back to try out the rest of the menu. Highly recommend.

Cute little place with a spanish vibe. Got to taste some good vermuts & good food. We got croquetas, jamón & the house fish. All were really good. The jamón was so fresh & tasty, it's rare to find this quality in montreal. Perfect for an apéro! Can't wait for summer to go enjoy their terrasse!
