The Top 14 Wine Bars Near Impasto
-
Rank 1. Le Petit Alep
Syrian Middle Eastern
Sisters Chahla and Tania Frangié run this fifty-year-old Syrian and Armenian kitchen with the ease of people stewarding family tradition—succulent braised lamb, grilled sea bass with arak, mezze meant for sharing. The mehalabié arrives trembling with rosewater and orange blossom, a dessert that tastes like memory itself.

Rank 7. Annette bar à vin
Modern Cuisine
Chef Marc-Antoine Jetté's wine bar in a glass-walled Angus Shops space pairs Hugo Duchesne's ambitious list—accessible bottles and great vintages alike—with shareable seasonal dishes of real ambition. Mussels in escabèche, bavette with maitake, and rice pudding croquettes arrive generous and precise from an open kitchen.

Rank 9. 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.

Rank 10. Elena
Wood-fired Pizza
A wood-fired kitchen anchors this spare, handsome room in Saint-Henri, where chef Christopher Cameron treats pizza as the centerpiece of a larger argument about Italian cooking. The antipasti and pastas hold their own against the ovens; the wine list tilts natural. The tiered patio feels like the neighborhood's living room.

Rank 13. Baumier
Modern Cuisine
Samuel Boyer's neighbourhood bistro in the Laurentians trades fussy plating for flavour: chicken liver mousse with mead, halibut accras with seaweed, rhubarb and blackcurrant desserts paired with natural wine. The bright, uncluttered room fills with the ease of friends gathering to share plates, a casual generosity that makes this small kitchen's ambitions feel earned rather than performed.
-
Rank 14. 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.
