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!

Very awesome bar in little burgundy, a great addition to the neighbourhood. No reservations so be ready to wait, but worth the wait. The food & drinks were good, however some staff could be less arrogant.

Stem Bar is a fantastic spot! The service & atmosphere were great. If you don't drink, try their yuzu non-alcoholic beer-it's unique & refreshing. The highlight of the menu is definitely the burrata with truffle & pancakes; they are to die for! Don't leave without trying this dish. ---

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!

Tried the place before the holidays with my friend & we loved it. Already planning on going back with the girls. Everything was heavenly good, from the drinks to the food. I recommend!

One of the best restaurants that I have discovered in Montreal this year. The food is insane. The taste palates are unique & well balanced. The drinks, especially the martini, are perfect. The wine selection is extensive & well chosen. Must try.
