L’Idéal

Amazing. Wine, food, vibes. Loved everything. Cute space, staff was very nice. Enjoyed a really fantastic rosé that was a little darker in color as the bartender explained-bc the grapes had been macerated so it was kind of in btwn a rosé and a red and it was just the perfect summer wine. The food exceeded expectations. The endive salad was stunning and delicious-perfectly dressed, so light, fresh, delicate yet very flavorful. Highly recommend. Also enjoyed the deviled eggs and the cheese board. Everything was exceptional. Simple yet executed beautifully.

Great casual place, nice cocktails. The pork belly was INCREDIBLE! Definitely recommend. Brussels sprouts, tataki, pickled veggies also incredible. Drinks were fine, but not amazing. Wine… might need a menu update. Overall cozy and cute, good service.

Great wine, food, and music. One of the better Paloma’s in the city! The staff is 10/10. Always friendly and having fun. Perfect spot to start or end a night.Food: 5/5

Amazing staff <3 , the service is quick and friendly, and the staff provides great recommendations. Great selection of beverages although the non-alcoholic versions were extremely sweet from the syrup. The toilets were clean worth mentionning, right?. Only complain is how loud the music was. I know it’s a bar, but I drank three pitchers of water just to ease my sore throat from trying to speak to the person next to me.

Nice place but there are definitely better wine bars. Gnocchi was pretty good but I was really craving the beef tartare which wasn't available. Don't really proactively try to help you pick a wine. Service was pleasant but not super attentive. Decor was nice but not intimate or unique. Music wasn't bad, glad they played a The Postal Service song haha.

Really cool setup with large windows opening up to the street, open seating and a room in the back for planned parties. The good: the food tapas style is excellent, tenderly cooked meats and fish with a lot of taste. The bad: the service is hit or miss depending on how the staff feel. And absolutely zero diet or no-sugar mixers are available at the bar. All in all, a good place to spend a 5a7 and great for planned celebrations but service could be better but maybe that’s a city culture thing - MTL culture obligés an aloofness.

Good service, good wifi, and nice vibe. Glad I live near this place because I'd rather come here to study are talk with friends than go to another cafe.

Excellent, but the portions are way too small.

Beautiful resto-bar, friendly staff! Portions to share were pretty decently sized. The tartinade d’artichauts was

Fantastic place to let loose. Food was delicious. Drinks soo varied. Music was great. Definitely recommend it
