Provisions Bar à Vin — Restaurant in Montreal

Provisions Bar à Vin had been on my recommended list for a while thanks to a good friend — and I’m so glad we finally went. The concept is unique: a high-quality butcher with a stylish seating area and bar right next to it, making it both inviting and original.

We tried les incontournables and everything was a hit. The Parker House roll (a soft brioche-style bread with their special whipped butter) was delicious and zesty. The Profiteroles with chicken liver mousse, topped with truffles, struck the perfect sucré-salé balance. And the scallop nuggets with three house-made sauces (gochujang ranch, Szechuan BBQ, XO sauce) are an absolute must-try.

For the main, we shared a beautiful T-bone steak — they even bring it to the table first so you can admire the cut. I usually go medium well, and this one was cooked perfectly. It’s served with butter you brush on using a thyme leaf, which adds such a nice touch. We went with chimichurri sauce — absolutely delicious and one of the best steaks I’ve had in the city. On the side, we had their big-cut fries and garlic mushrooms, both excellent. My oldest went for their cheeseburger and fries, which was also a winner.

Overall, Provisions Bar à Vin is a spot where everything feels thoughtful — from the concept to the flavors. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy one of the best steaks in town along with creative small plates in a...

Best burger In town, one of the best brisket sandwiches I’ve ever had, the fries are fresh and crispy and the prices are fair for the quality, simply delicious and perfect to take out and enjoy at the park!

2024 update:

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at provisions, we’ve enjoyed their sandwiches for a few years so we knew it was going to be great, and they absolutely exceeded our expectations, we ordered 2 entrees, scallop crudo and fried calamari, the crudo was perfectly balanced, not too acidic and super fresh and the calamari were fresh and crispy, topped with an olive and sun dried tomato tapenade with a marinara sauce on the side, then my wife ordered, in her own words, one of the best beef tartars in Montreal, the avocado gave it a nice and creamy texture and the seasoning was perfect. I ordered the steak and frites and it was absolutely incredible, cooked to perfection and seasoned on point with a delicious warm sauce on the side and perfectly crispy fries. All of this paired with a great Pinot noir recommended by the Maitre and for a dessert a super creative and delicious dessert. All of this added to the excellent ambiance and music made a lovely and memorable experience for us, we strongly recommend provisions and we’re surely...

From the moment we walked in, this restaurant exceeded every expectation and a huge part of that was thanks to Jules, our incredible server. His energy, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the menu instantly set the tone for an unforgettable lunch date to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

Every course was a masterpiece, flavors that danced, presentation that wowed, and pacing that was absolutely perfect. Jules guided us through the menu like a seasoned storyteller, recommending dishes and pairings that quite literally blew our minds. It felt like he could read exactly what we were in the mood for, and he nailed it every time.

What made the lunch truly special was the warmth and genuine care Jules showed throughout. We felt like VIPs without any of the pretension, pure hospitality at its finest. 👌🏼
