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.
Des assiettes incroyables & surprenantes ! Multiples saveurs à chaque bouchée. L'ambiance est très cool, vous pouvez prendre un verre de vin en attendant une table. Belle proposition de verre au vin & de bouteille !
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!
A colleague told me about Stem Bar & said it was good, that is a total understatement. I truly loved everything about this place. Our server was outstanding & the food, whoa! The Crudo de petoncles was heavenly. The only reason for the 4 stars on food is the burrata dish, which was my least favourite, although still good. If you have not been yet, GO! No reservations required!
Comida excelente! Ambiente descolado, porém bem barulhento. Esperemos de pé mais de uma hora, mas valeu a pena! Peça diversos pratos para compartilhar com a mesa toda, para experimentar de tudo.
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!
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! :)
