Review Summary

Stem Bar is widely praised as a neighborhood staple in Montreal, celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere, creative cocktails, and an exceptional menu featuring standout dishes like the truffle burrata pancakes, beef tartare, and Brussels sprouts. While many patrons highlight the impeccable service and high-quality ingredients, experiences are occasionally mixed regarding wait times, noise levels, and rigid table turnover policies. Despite some concerns over portion sizes or occasional staff interactions, most visitors consider it a must-visit destination for those seeking a stylish, reliable, and delicious dining experience.

Exceptional from start to finish. STEM does not take reservations, but when we arrived on Friday at 7pm, we went straight up to the bar, where there was plenty of seating. We were greeted warmly by the staff who were very helpful in recommending what to eat & drink.

Although STEM appears to be a bar first & a restaurant second, everything we ate was truly exceptional-well presented dishes which were original & the perfect sharing portion.

The cocktails are straightforward & no-frills, but prepared well. The wine selections by the glass were the perfect pairing to the meal, a light crisp red perfect for summer nights.

We sampled the smoked trout fritters, which were topped with caviar-crisp on the outside & creamy in the middle. Next we had a pile of crisp brussels sprouts which had a great balance of flavour & texture. This went well with the unique salted pancakes with burrata. Underneath the burrata was a pile of delicious truffle shavings which elevated the dish, it was truly delicious. Finally, we had the spinach rotolo which sat on a pool of delicious & creamy tomato sauce. The meal was filling & the perfect portion for sharing.

There are many more dishes on the menu that we would like to try & we will most definitely return again!

Overall, the atmosphere, cocktails, wine & high-quality dishes make STEM bar an excellent value & a great date night locale in a neighborhood known for excellent eateries!

Un restaurant sans prétentions, de la bonne bouffe, une belle ambiance, un beau décor, un staff friendly. The salty pancakes, cavatelli & Brussels sprouts are all delicious.

I've been here a few times & I love it. Main & apps have always been delicious but the dessert was forgettable. I strongly recommend the Brussels sprouts, delish!

Not sure if I want to give this place a 4 or a 5 star since the food didn't amaze me, but the wine, service & atmosphere were great. The Brussels sprouts are probably the star of the show, being my favorite dish. The sauce & texture were excellent. The other dishes we ordered were good as well but not "wowing" enough for the price. They lacked a bit of flavour & texture. In the end I would recommend ordering the Brussels sprouts, anchovy toast, pot de creme & a bottle of wine for a pricier night out. They also don't take reservations so try to go later in the evening to grab a table right away!
