Vinvinvin is a cozy, unpretentious neighborhood wine bar with a warm atmosphere that makes it ideal for dates or relaxed evenings. The wine list is a highlight, offering a varied and thoughtfully curated selection with glass pours and good guidance from the staff, while the food features oysters, tapas and small plates that pair well with the drinks, some dishes standing out more than others. Service is generally described as knowledgeable, friendly and attentive, though several reviews note moments of overly persistent pacing, longer waits during busy times, and a desire for clearer menu explanations. The interior, design and music receive frequent praise for creating a welcoming vibe, with conversations that can be easy without shouting. Price/value balance is mixed, with many enjoying the experience but some feeling the cost is high for what is offered, especially for certain fare or portions. Overall, Vinvinvin appears as a popular go to for wine lovers and casual gatherings, delivering strong wines and atmosphere, while reminding guests to pace themselves on busy nights and to explore a mix of drinks and bites.
Vin Vin Vin is an unpretentious, cozy neighborhood wine bar with a warm & welcoming atmosphere. It's not a refined or upscale place, but that's exactly what makes it charming. The space feels intimate, especially the bar area, which makes it easy to sit close, talk, & really connect. It's not loud at all, giving it a speakeasy-like vibe. I would definitely recommend it for a cozy, relaxed date.
A really cool spot for a glass of wine or other interesting drinks. I had fermented snow chrysanthemum tea & some bites to eat. The drinks are the star of the show here. The food is good, but not necessarily show-stopping. The poireau vinaigrette we had was tasty, balanced, & beautifully plated. The mousse we ate was rich & balanced but the crisps served with it were slightly too sweet for our liking. My favourite thing I tried was the bread with the whipped beurre noisette; it was hardy & light at the same time. The waits can be long but they have a front island where you can enjoy a glass while you wait. A minor downside is that you will feel the draft when it gets cold. The volume is fairly loud but that's due to the building's design (what can you do besides the acoustic panelling that they have already added).

Delicious wine at good prices. I loved that the wine list was organized by categories such as mineral, experimental etc.
beautiful interior & atmosphere. I only tried the dip, it was delicious & of good quality.
If you're looking for nice cocktails & wine in a nice ambiance, this is the place to go. We sampled a variety of cocktails & wines which I enjoyed, but my favorite was probably still the melon cocktail. Service is also very fast & professional, appreciate that it didn't take ridiculously long to take our order/deliver our drinks even on a busy Saturday night. Solid place to have a mellow catch-up with friends!
Sadly, I arrived a bit too early to sample their menu, so I left pretty starving.
Still loved this vibrant spot to try some Quebec wines. Was playful yet sophisticated at the same time. Wanted to try some more of their European offers, but Quebec wines peaked my interest. As a tourist, their wine list was really intriguing.

Best wine bar in Montreal!! Amazing selection of wines from all over the world, & changing all the time so lots of variety when you go back. Highly recommend!
Do yourself a favour, trust the staff when it comes to funky wines, food, even places to hang late at night. Bageau got our vibe, proposed the best farmy wines. He killed it throughout, A++++ service

Quite comfortable atmosphere with excellent service! The wine list caters more to a light French wine preference, so if you're like me & enjoy something more full bodied, you might be disappointed. The food was quite good. The liver moose with apple sauce was amazing, & the mushrooms, oatmeal & parmesan was good, but a little too heavy for my taste. Definitely a lot of fun to bring a date & explore an area of Montreal that's getting more & more popular every year.
Amazing little spot. Was recommended to me by my sister-in-law. Service was great. I asked the server to surprise me with wines he thought I would like & all 3 glasses that I tried were stellar & unique in their own way. I'm a wine nerd so I really appreciated learning about each wine. Cheers!
Really a cool place! Great food, great wine & great suggestions from the server. An all around solid place to grab a glass of wine & enjoy time with your friends.
Came here for drinks. Our server didn't really understand the menu or didn't ask us any questions on what we were looking for. She was hesitant to open bottles for us even though you obviously have to try things at a wine bar. In the end, all the options she gave us weren't great. In the end I picked some random glass off the menu. My friends gave up & ordered cocktails which were passable (trèfle & dirty martini). She was friendly & attentive but I expect more after many previous wine bar experiences. The Pas Un Tiramisu was in fact a very boring tiramisu. Decor is uninspired, music is inaudible, lighting was too dim for the small font menu.
