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.

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!

Tried it out on a Saturday afternoon. Picked a spot on the terasse. Trendy area. Service was very good. Interesting dishes. I was particularly pleased with the deviled egg appetizer & the porch milanais. I was happy with my experience & am likely to return.

everything was so good!! would def go back. LOVE the beef tartare ($22) with the potato crisps on top. brussel sprouts ($17) were also a crowd favourite. pancakes ($24) are talked about so much we had to try them. it was super interesting having them salty but i loved the texture, crispy outside paired with the smooth creamy burrata!! i'm already craving it again. hangar steak ($33) was also perfect.

FYI we went for 6pm on a weekend with no wait time
