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.

We arrived at 6:20 because last time we went at 8:00 was a 1 hour wait, so make sure to arrive early since they don't take reservations.
The burrata truffle pancakes were our favourite dish.
We also had the tuna tartare (a tiny bit bland), trout croquettes (crunchy & flavourful), cavatelli (comforting & filling), & brussel sprouts (a lot of sauce, though they could have been more crispy). Overall everything was good! However the cocktails were disappointing (amaretto sour, espresso martini, dirty martini). The atmosphere is great & the staff is really friendly, & we appreciated that they weren't rushing us out after eating.

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.

Truly a hidden gem. One of the few restaurants where every dish we ordered was done to perfection. The pancakes, brussel sprouts, & sea bream are definitely something you don't want to miss out on

we went on a friday night around 8:30 & didn't have to wait for too long. we got martinis & shared a few apps. the apps were sooo good! you must get the burrata salted pancakes with truffle. fantastic. the chocolate pudding was also so so incredible. the tomato toast was great too - salty & a bit sweet. i'd come back again for the wine!

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. ---

Très belle soirée au Stem bar. Nourriture excellent (burrata & pancake, juste délicieux & original, choux de bruxelles incroyable & tartare de boeuf délectable). Nous avons aussi aimé la salade de fenouil & la tarte au citron. Les portions sont généreuse ce que j'apprécie beaucoup, car le vin est plus dispendieux. Ambiance bonne, mais assez bruyante! :)
