Every single item I had was very hearty delicious and extraordinary. As a European, I find this experience to be very similar to back home; one-in-one contact with the owner. My husband and I were very pleased with Devon’s generous service and hospitality. Their wine is out of this world. It’s a perfect place to frequent if you are into gourmet tastes. I’d say better go when less busy and think of staying for at least couple of hours to have a full wine tasting experience.
This restaurant should not be kept a secret. As much as I would like to call it “my own” and not to let anyone know how special it is for fear it could be spoiled, that would entirely miss the point. If you are in a hurry and you need a quick bite, it can certainly address your need, if you just want to be seen with beautiful people sure, it is ideal. If you want some delicious wine and great food burrata and sliders were my favourites, but some recent additions made me betray them there is no better place to be. But if you can manage to slow the clock, close your eyes and imagine to be in Europe, you might get to the real magic of the wine bar. I have come here maybe half a dozen times and never failed to meet at least one most improbable and wonderful person, and never got home without thinking I had been in a Fellini movie or a dream. A loving atmosphere, the sense of family and community yes sometimes a bit disfunctional with the crazy uncle or the inebriated auntie we have almost lost in canada but that you can still find in Bronte as in most of Italy. And most of the credit goes to the owner and sommelier, Devon, and everyone helping her in keeping this dream alive. Grazie
This place is truly a labour of love! The menu is carefully created, the food is made so delicately with all the right touches and the wines are out of this world and none can be found at Lcbo! Our server was fantastic and she introduced each wine to us and told us all about it. We had a great Sunday evening. The quail egg with duck confit was truly divine and we also had a platter. Thank you!
Alright Google, we need a 6-star option because this place deserves it!! We left all the decision-making to the amazingly attentive staff and we were not disappointed! Simple dishes with complex flavours served with perfectly paired wines. Thank you Andrew and Devon for an outstanding evening. It was truly an experience... one that I will surely return for again and would most definitely recommend to any foodie/wine lover.
Absolutely phenomenal! I cannot say enough great things about the wine selection, the food, the staff, the vibes or the experience! My wife and I now frequent The Wine Bar as our go to spot for a night out. She explores different wines with the owners - a great mix as one is a sommelier, and the other a wine maker. Dishes are simple yet delicious, and always changing, making each night unique. I also now purchase various bottles for gifts & events that I cannot find anywhere else.
Fantastic selection of wine and cheese! Female ownership and excellent service and experience all around! My new local favourite haunt!
Absolutely recommend going in for some amazing wine, beautiful energy, say hi to Devon for me! She is a beautiful soul, very welcoming. Just what I needed, so happy I stopped in
I highly recommend the wine bar, I've already been a few times. They have the outdoor domes which is super cool and a must try... a perfect touch during Covid times. They are super friendly, clean, and the food is amazing and of course the wine you will love. Escape to the wine bar today!
Listen folks. If you are looking to be treated as a number go to another restaurant where you will be herded in, served quick, same old menu and leaving in an hour and feeling like you didn’t catch your breath. But if you are looking for an ever changing menu, based on the season as they shop local and it has a farm to table feel and you are treated like family, where it’s an experience and great vibes, then come here!! I have been here too many times to count. And I think it’s sad that they get 1* ratings from people that came in wanting to be treated like a “number” and not understanding how different The Wine Bar is and what makes them so special. Is it slower, yes. Is the menu different every season, yes. But it feels like I am dining at my family’s house. It feels warm, inviting and the vibe of the restaurant whether inside or out always feels like a connected community. I love that it is small and quaint. I love that you don’t feel rushed. I love that you don’t feel like you just finished your plate and the bill is there hinting for you to leave. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. I drive 30 min to just get here, always have my friends, family and meetings here, and couldn’t recommend it enough! Thank you Devon and The Wine Bar family for all you do to always make me and my guests feel so welcomed and always walking out with an amazing experience.
Amazing food and incredible wine selection! Great patio, amazing staff and chef. Will for sure be back!
