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.

Elevated take on the classic tapas you would fine in a Spanish bar mix with original dishes. They have good vermouth & the staff is friendly. A bit on the pricer side but a fun vibe. I'm not crazy about some of their weird'wooden throne chairs', I guess that's the only negative I could come up with.

I have been to Bar Vivar about a dozen times now, & it has become my favorite restaurant in Montreal. Every visit feels genuinely special. I am always eating things I have never had before, & I am consistently surprised by how thoughtful, & delicious each dish is.
Patrick provides a level of service that is truly exceptional. I never even look at the menu. I simply sit down & trust him to curate the experience, & it has never disappointed. Chef Georges brings that vision to life in the kitchen, & the result is food that feels both adventurous & deeply satisfying.
I have been here with my children, on dates with my wife, & most recently hosted my company's holiday party where they closed the restaurant for us & went above & beyond in every possible way. Each experience has been just as memorable as the last. Bar Vivar is a place I recommend without hesitation.

Walking in, the warm atmosphere makes you feel instantly at home. With only a few tables, set for the lucky locals, I feel privileged to have chef George in the neighbourhood. The Spanish vibe takes you right in the streets of St Sebastian's tapas spots. It is worth a visit if you want to be pampered by the chef who is sophisticated yet humble. I would say try everything on the menu because it changes regularly. Each visit, I want to say it's an absolute artistic experience etc but really, it is a party in my mouth. I walk out inspired to cook & excited to be back.
