Review Summary

Stem Bar is widely praised for its vibrant atmosphere, stylish decor, and consistently delicious menu, with the burrata pancakes, beef tartare, and Brussels sprouts frequently highlighted as standout dishes. While many guests enjoy the creative cocktails and well curated wine list, experiences with the staff are mixed, ranging from exceptionally friendly and attentive to occasionally impatient regarding table turnover and seating policies. Although the quality of food is generally considered high, some visitors have expressed frustration over small portion sizes for the price, excessively salty dishes, or rigid reservation and service limitations. Overall, the establishment remains a popular local destination known for its great energy and flavorful offerings, making it a recommended spot for those who appreciate a lively social environment and refined sharing plates.

My favourite restaurant/bar in Montreal. I've been there so many times & the food has never disappointed. I've tried a lot of dishes on the menu & I've genuinely loved every single one. The pancake burrata truffle is hands down my favourite & a must order. This is the one place I recommend every single time someone asks me for restaurant recommendations in Montreal. & the service is impeccable!

Stem Bar has a beautiful ambiance, great decor, & a really nice vibe. The cocktails & wine list were solid. I love September Cafe, so I was really hoping to love Stem Bar just as much. Unfortunately, the food was extremely salty across the board, which made the meal hard to enjoy. It's unfortunate because I had high expectations, but based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend it.

Fabuleux ✨ une des meilleures adresses où il m'a été donné de souper (& pas juste au Québec). Outre le service qui était impeccable, les plats & cocktails étaient délicieusement exécutés. Nous avons passé un excellent moment au Stem Bar. Merci pour tout ! Une adresse exceptionnelle à ne pas manquer si vous êtes à Montréal. Ps : il est recommandé de réserver si vous souhaitez être installé à une table sinon vous serez au comptoir ce qui a été notre cas mais ça nous a parfaitement convenu.

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!

Really great experience. Food was really good & the small portions allowed us to taster multiple things. No reservations so I recommend arriving a bit earlier!

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!

Highly recommend this restaurant! The food is phenomenal. The highlight was the pancake & burrata! I would come back just for this. The vibe is nice although service a bit slow & disorganized.

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!
