Kabinet

Montréal


Paying tribute to all things Russian, this stylish little cocktail den draws a slightly more sophisticated crowd than the average Mile End haunt. You can sip well-made drinks such as the Rasputin (bourbon, Lillet blanc, orange liqueur) and nibble on pelmeni (dumplings), while taking in czarist regalia adorning the cozy, bunker-like space.
