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!
Tried it out on a Saturday afternoon. Picked a spot on the terasse. Trendy area. Service was very good. Interesting dishes. I was particularly pleased with the deviled egg appetizer & the porch milanais. I was happy with my experience & am likely to return.
One of the few places in Montreal that's consistent & excellent. Quality ingredients & dishes that are truly mastered & not overworked. Great vibe, especially in the summer on the terrace. The clams & bacon dish is incredible.
Interesting food, it was great to try some new dishes & I liked the set up they offered with many tapas style dishes. Lovely food gem! The drinks I would call interesting, the cloudy orange wine was actually nice but avoid the Quebec red wine they have on the menu.
The food was great, we picked 7 dishes to share for 3 of us & we were full! The service was fast once we got a table. The only downsize is the fact that they don't take resos however their system of waiting & ordering is a drink in the meantime is great!
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!
