Stem Bar est perçu comme un lieu au cadre agreable avec une belle ambiance et une vibe conviviale, où les cocktails et la carte des vins sont généralement solides et les plats souvent bien executes et savoureux, avec des favorites comme burrata, chou de Bruxelles et pancakes salees. Le service est souvent considere attentif et l'ambiance contribue a une experience agreable entre amis ou en couple, mais plusieurs avis pointent une nourriture globalement trop salee et des portions parfois petites par rapport au prix lorsque les plats sont partagés. Le lieu peut aussi etre tres frequenté et bruyant lors des heures d'affluence, ce qui peut rendre la conversation difficile, et certaines critiques abordent l'option de s'asseoir au comptoir lorsque les reservations ne sont pas possibles. Dans l'ensemble, Stem Bar est vu comme une adresse interessante a Montreal, offrant une experience moderne et conviviale avec une offre interessante de vins et de plats bien executes.

Belle decouverte des bon plats simple , belle salle rien de fancy juste bien & parfait.
Liste de vin longue mais Leger manque par contre au niveau des vin italien mais bon tres tres correct
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

Excellent food, perfectly prepared & great balance of flavours. Service was friendly & prompt, they were great at keeping our waters full. The ambiance is very nice as well. A great place to go for a nice dinner!
The food was good & cool vibes waiter also spilled entire water on me cause the tables are so small but thats ok no big deal.
the new law that you have to put the total before the taxes in order to tip accordingly has been in place for a long time.. yet the restaurant still entered the total with taxes & we had only option to tip on top of the total including taxes
This should be adjusted to the new law as soon as possible no excuse for this given it was announced months before
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
