What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the excellent wine list, beautiful interior, and welcoming service. Many mention that it’s an ideal stop before events at nearby venues, with several calling it a “hidden gem.” Guests also love the variety of dishes—everything from burrata and ceviche to gourmet grilled cheese—served in a casual yet refined setting.

Areas for Improvement

While most visitors leave happy, a few note that the food portions can be on the smaller side, so it’s best to come for light bites or to share plates rather than a full dinner. During peak hours before big shows, it can get busy—so plan ahead or arrive early if you're on a tight schedule.

The Bottom Line

With its unbeatable location, stylish ambiance, and shareable dishes, Bazarette is a go-to Montréal spot for concert-goers looking to elevate their night out.
