La Buvette Chez Simone

Top choice in Montréal


An artsy-chic crowd of (mostly) Francophone bons vivants and professionals loves this cozy wine bar. The staff know their vino and the extensive list is complemented by a gourmet tapas menu. Weekends, the place is jammed from cinq à sept (5pm to 7pm 'happy hour') into the wee hours.

Alone, you can comfortably park it on a bar stool, though you probably won’t be solo for long.
