NATURAL WINE BARS

Pullman

One of the city’s oldest wine bars, with what might be the longest list, Pullman has stayed up to date with natural options by the glass, bottle or tasting flight. With bottles half price on Sundays, it’s the perfect place to taste great wines at low prices. The food menu is no afterthought, from the lemon confit olives to the excellent venison tartare. pullman-mtl.com

Monopole

Close to the Old Port, all-day cafe Monopole is the place to go for a glass of Austrian orange wine or exceptional Bandol rosé.

Best of all, it can be enjoyed with lunch dishes such as pork rillettes, or with dinner, which might include the likes of smoked mackerel served with potatoes and cheddar. monopole.cafe

Vinvinvin

In the neighbourhood of La Petite-patrie you’ll find Vinvinvin. One of Montreal’s newest natural wine bars, it attracts a cool crowd. The allnatural list is organised by trait, from ‘mineral’, to ‘bestsellers’ to the more abstract ‘punk’. Looking for something to soak it all up with? The quarter-loaf of bread with hazelnut and honey is a must-order. vinvinvin.ca
