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.
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.
Choix de vin varié & original, principalement en provenance de pays nordiques. Ambiance animée si on aime le genre bruyant. Le service & la cuisine sont OK, sans plus.
Fou service, fous vins, fous gens! C'est vraiment un endroit que je recommande fort pour découvrir de merveilleux produits & de merveilleuses personnes. Merci vinvinvin
Service impeccable tout comme sélection de produits très intéressante. Belle variété de choix. Ambiance agréable & pas trop de bruit (un plus!). Parking également accessible.

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.
Loved this place. Incredible wine selection, I couldn't decide between a few so our server let me try a couple first. Beautiful interior too! Mushroom & polenta dish & the snails were definite favourites.
Very cool spot to pop into for a late night drink or gathering of friends! This place came highly recommended to us when we recently visited Montreal, & it did not disappoint! Very friendly staff!
Excellent vin, EXCELLENT service. Le staff connaît mieux mes goûts de vin que moi. Ma seule critique est que la bouffe est chère pour les petites portions.
Perennial favourite. For me, vinvinvin is the top wine bar in Montréal & I don't see that changing anytime soon! Love the ever-evolving wine selection.
I didn't eat here, but stopped off for a few glasses of wine after dinner & really loved this place. Great atmosphere, amazing wine selection. Also found that everything was really well priced, which is rare these days. Service was perfect, really enjoyed my time there. Will definitely go back!
