The Top 4 Wine Bars Near Babar Restaurant
-
Rank 1. Pavane
French
François Côté's Pavane occupies a narrow storefront on Granby's main street with the weathered warmth of wood and leather, its menu a frank collage of bistro classics and Japanese impulses. Calf's liver with soubise, lobster mac and gratin, kamikaze salmon tartare—each plate arrives with the ease of a place that knows what it does and stops short of pretense.
-
Rank 2. Vin Polisson
Wine Bar
A narrow room with counter seating overlooking a tight kitchen, where Chef Isabelle Charest works with local, seasonal vegetables and sources natural wines from Québec and the Nordic regions. The cooking is intuitive and spare, letting produce speak for itself; wine pairings anchor each plate with precision rather than ceremony.

Rank 4. Le Vin Papillon
Modern Cuisine
In Little Burgundy, a convivial wine bar run by the Joe Beef crew trades the formal for the familial, pairing hand-sliced Petite Bourgogne ham with Fleur des Monts cheese and beef tartare that echoes tourtière. The biodynamic and natural wine list feels less curated than discovered, the changing menu built for sharing among friends rather than impressing strangers.
