Bar à Vin Liège — Restaurant in Repentigny

My wife and I were really looking forward to this Valentine’s Day menu, expecting something close to O’Thym in Montreal, which we absolutely love. The price seemed reasonable, and the pictures and reviews gave us hope. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing…

We usually go to Le Coup Monte, but it’s overpriced, so we were hoping to find a great alternative. Sadly, the food here lacked depth, and the presentation was underwhelming.

• Beet dish with wine reduction and capers: Three ingredients. That’s it. No seasoning, no complexity. The beets were undercooked, the reduction lacked balance, and there was no contrast in texture. Adding some cheese crumble or enhancing the sweetness of the reduction could have saved it, but as it was—just terrible execution. • Again, the Tuna dish same problem. Every dish felt like it was missing that extra 1-2 ingredients to elevate it. The fish had no seasoning, making it completely forgettable. • Roast chicken was okay, but that’s the problem—it was just okay. Nothing stood out, no creativity, nothing that felt like a refined dish you’d expect in this kind of restaurant. • Pavlova is my favorite dessert, and while it was decent, it followed the same theme—too simple. No layers of complexity or contrasting flavors to make it memorable.

I felt bad the whole time because I was expecting a gastronomic experience, but the meals never delivered. It was bland, uninspired, and lacking creativity.

We’re still curious about the regular menu, so we might give it a second shot. But based on this experience, I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way for their...

Spent 2 hours having dinner. This place was well reputed and we were excited to come.

The wine choices were amazing. I especially loved my bubbly, refreshing and fizzy yet dry and delightful. However, the food were not that great. We decided to try their entrees. Ordered sea snails ( bourgots) , lamb and fois gras. Plus bread and provincial butter on side.

Herbs tasted metallic and tart. All pretty blain and lack flavour. Some use of fresh flavourful herbs would be great.

lack flavour or miss the ball on the consistency of the cheese and fois gras, it was quite a disappointment. Perhaps the real chef was not there last night!!

Overall, not a great food tasting experience but the waiter was very enthusiastic and friendly. But no amount of dancing around and...

C’était notre première expérience à ce restaurant qui nous avait été recommandé. Nous avons été déçus de notre expérience. Le service est à améliorer. Mon conjoint a demandé dès le début du repas un verre de vin avec l’entrée et un autre avec le repas principal. Le serveur lui a proposé le 2e verre alors qu’on avait fini de manger. Nous n’avons eu aucune explication pour le vin, juste ‘corsé ou moins corsé’, décevant pour un bar à vin. On nous a offert le dessert alors que notre table était débarrassée depuis plus de 20 minutes. On nous a dit qu’il manquait de personnel cette soirée-là. On nous a dit que nous étions chanceux que nos plats avaient été apportés par le chef lui-même (bah on ne le savait pas et on n’a pas eu d’explications, juste ´bon appétit’) Nous n’avons pas été impressionné de nos assiettes (tomates ancestrales, foie gras et steak de bison). Ce n’étais pas mauvais, le steak était bien cuit. La laitue romaine grillée était molle et pleine d’eau. Le foie gras de mon conjoint contenait autant de foie gras que de gras. Les tomates, ben ça goûtait les tomates et les herbes, pas mauvais mais ça ne valait pas le prix payé. Nous sommes allé prendre un...
