Les avis sur Bar Vivar soulignent une adresse intime et chaleureuse où une interprétation créative des tapas espagnoles et basques se mêle à des plats savoureux et originaux, des fruits de mer frais et des associations audacieuses qui surprennent à chaque visite. Le cadre cosy et l accueil chaleureux, avec une carte de vermouth et de vins variée, sont des atouts récurrents et le service est souvent décrit comme attentif et passionné, même si le menu peut changer fréquemment et nécessiter une lecture attentive. Bien que les tarifs puissent sembler élevés, la qualité et l'inventivité des plats justifient l'investissement pour ceux qui apprécient une expérience culinaire soignée. L'ambiance rappelle un bar espagnol vivant et convivial, propice à des soirées entre amis ou en tête-à-tête, et les plats allant des tapas classiques à des créations audacieuses offrent une expérience sensorielle qui donne envie de revenir pour tester de nouvelles propositions. Dans l'ensemble Bar Vivar est perçu comme une petite pépite culinaire, une adresse à Montréal où l'on peut passer une excellente soirée et repartir inspiré.
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.
Pas vraiment une bonne place si vous désiré vraiment avoir un bon moment, plat très très limité dans le menu, faudrait ce tourner vers une pancarte pour lire le menu ( qui n'est pas très clair), quantité d'un plat est très minime( même pour un snack) avec un prix assez élevé, service vraiment pas le meilleur & surtout au niveau que le serveur/veuse explique le menu à faible choix.
Le seul point positif c'est juste au niveau des breuvages, bonnes saveurs & de choix.
Pas recommander si vous voulez grignoter de quoi durant votre journée, assurer vous bien de ne pas avoir faim quand vous venez à cette place..

Cute little wine bar with really yummy food & snacks. Owner Chef George is super friendly & so is Patrick the host/server. Recommend for an afternoon snack & natural wine or get a whole meal. The freshly sliced jamon was amazing!!Everything that was coming out of the kitchen looked drool-worthy amazing. Definitely will stop by here again when I'm in Montreal!
Bar Vivar is my new coup de coeur! The atmosphere is charming & welcoming. I've been there three times now & I've always had such a good time. The food is delicious & makes you want to discover authentic Spanish tapas. If you have the chance to be seated at the bar, it will complete your experience by seeing the chef in action. & I can't forget about the wine list, the selection they have makes it hard for you to say no to another glass ;) 10/10 would recommend this little gem in the heart of Le Plateau Mont-Royal!
New favorite tapas spot! The food & service was amazing & the prices very reasonable for the quality. The variety of drinks & bites was perfect. The ambiance is lovely, highly recommend!
mon chum m'a invitée là pour mon anniversaire. Malheureusement c'était correc sans plus & surtout beaucoup trop cher pour la quantité, on avait encore faim en sortant. Aussi la carte est trop minimaliste très peu de choix. Le service est vmt basique. Disons qu'on ne le recommandera pas à nos amis & famille.
I went there few week ago with my wife. To be honest, the food is good but not excellent, nothing outstanding, I give the food a 4*. The prices are ridiculously high for the amount you get. Nothing justify their prices. I don't recommand it. Also when there is no menu & only a black board, please take at least the time to write everything nicely enough to be understandable, it looks like it's a doctor from the ER who wrote... The service was ok but as mentionned in other reviews the owner looks somehow pretentious in his attitude, not a friendly or humble vibe. It is not bad, it just not worth the trip or the money. I have been in spain many time, love this country & love spanish food but I was disappointed, something is missing & the bill end up to be really high & we felt a bit ripped off like if the quantity were enough only for the cheapest ingredients of the plate, but for the tastiest ingredient the quantity were tiny like not even enough to feed a baby.

What a great surprise! The restaurant has a great cozy ambiance & the service is incredible. The dishes were phenomenal, a real work of art! I highly recommend the octopus, it was superb, really soft & flavorful. The dishes are not huge if you are really hungry you might wanna order two. Will definitely be coming back here!
What an amazing new spot in the plateau! Food was delicious, service impeccable & very friendly. I recommend getting the crudo when available! Great place for casual drinks or for a full course meal. Will be bringing my friends here!
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.
This restaurant has the best vibes & menu! Patrick suggested the best dishes - Highly recommend the tortilla, calamari bagel 🤩, zorza & croquettes, just wow! We went home elated
