Overall, Stem Bar is described as stylish with a beautiful ambiance, good decor, and a vibrant vibe, supported by a solid cocktail program and a well curated wine list. Many reviews highlight delicious, well executed dishes with favorites like burrata, Brussels sprouts, pancakes, beef tartare, and various pastas, along with friendly and attentive service. Some meals are noted as overly salty and portions can be small or designed for sharing when priced per person, which affects value for some diners. The experience is often regarded as a strong option for a night out with friends, and arriving early or choosing bar seating is common since Stem Bar does not take reservations. Overall, praise is high and there is a sense that Stem Bar delivers consistently, with a few caveats to consider.
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
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!
great spot! really nice & chill vibes inside, not too loud, good wine list & good food. severs were helpful & friendly. nice & casual while still classy.
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.

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.
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!
Bel endroit pour prendre un verre, plein de choix pour les plus connaisseurs d'entre nous. Pour un bar, la nourriture est raffinée, très plaisant d'avoir des choix intéressants si la fringale se présente.
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. ---
Love this place for its hip vibes & wine selection. The servers are very good at recommending options based on your likes. The food never disappoints. They don't take reservations & small tables for tapas is pretty inconvenient
