Rank 3. The Cloakroom
Cocktail Bar
Behind a menswear shop in a century-old Golden Square Mile building, this twenty-five-seat bar conducts cocktails like bespoke tailoring—precise, invisible in technique, built from a decade's worth of house-made amari, rare aged spirits, and tinctures distilled at low temperature to preserve delicate flavors. No menu; the bartenders read you instead, personalizing classics to fit the moment.

Rank 9. The Coldroom
Cocktail Bar
A duck painted above an unmarked door ushers you downstairs into a 19th-century warehouse where the Sallerach—Courvoisier, rhubarb, anise absinthe—captures the spirit-forward traditions of nearby Salle Climatisée. The speakeasy rewards those willing to order by mood rather than menu.

Small plates like Spanish tortilla and briny Gildas anchor the ritualistic sipping.

Rank 15. Bar Bello
Italian Cocktail Bar
The latest project from Montreal's prolific aperitivo evangelists channels a sun-soaked Roman bar, all vintage Campari posters and snack plates of taralli.

A place to nurse a drink and eat small, without hurry.

A coffee-colored cube in Granby's center houses an open kitchen where vegetables, fish, and meat meet flame and maple smoke. The dining room—black tables, glassed wine cellar, chef's counter—radiates understated refinement, while rooftop gardens signal what the cooking promises: restraint, clarity, the particular sweetness of things char-marked and alive.
