I actually don’t know what anyone is saying here the space is nice and the staff are great but the food is truly not good and definitely not Japanese Italian fusion 😭 the price to quality ratio was awful. The chicken tenders were dry. The sauces were not good. I just can’t find a single nice thing to say!

Stopped in for dinner with my wife and we both really enjoyed it. Ambiance and vibe of the space was great. The service was incredible and the food was excellent. Staff recommended the beef tartare and I do as well! We also enjoyed the duck confit pasta! High recommend checking this place out.

Service is more than great, the servers always made sure we were good. Food is excellent, every dish we ordered had great flavor, not a single miss. We will definitely go back to try the rest of the menu

Mini Bar is such a beautiful place the design and atmosphere are absolutely gorgeous, and having a vinyl DJ during dinner made the whole experience feel really special. I genuinely enjoyed the evening and thought the food was very good. The truffle pizza was definitely my favorite, and the ginger cocktail was also excellent. That said, the service could have been better. Our server was very nice, but she seemed quite hesitant, and the timing between the drinks and food felt a little strange and uncoordinated. Nothing terrible, but it did take away a bit from the overall experience. Overall, I think Mini Bar is a very trendy and beautiful place with a great atmosphere, but for me, it felt more like a place to experience than a restaurant I would say you absolutely have to visit for dinner. If you’re going to spend the money, I might personally choose lunch instead. Still, I had a really nice evening and would definitely come back for the atmosphere, the pizza, and the cocktails.

Came here for lunch and the place was surprisingly empty. The interior is beautiful, bright and stylish, and the food looks great in photos. Unfortunately, everything was way too salty. The carbonara especially tasted like the chef added salt three times 😭 The ingredients and flavors were completely overpowered by the saltiness. Service was good, but overall: looks much better than it tastes.

Friendly staff. I ordered the white lotus pizza expecting something creamy and flavorful, but it turned out quite bland — I had to ask for salt myself to bring out more flavor. When I mentioned this to the staff, I was told it's a new item they just added to the menu, so there's still room for improvement. Ventilation could be better too, I could smell kitchen smoke from where I was seated, so if you are sensitive to kitchen smoke, probably stay away from the kitchen area is a good idea. Overall still a decent spot with genuinely warm service, and I'd be happy to come back and see how the menu evolves.

I recently visited restaurant Minnibar because I heard mixed reviews from friends who either live in the building or were curious to give it a try. I’d personally give Mini Bar a 6.5/10: let me explain. It’s convenient for a quick bite before going out, (if you live around the area/at Finale residences) but the execution and value don’t quite match the price. We ordered the fried chicken which came as 3 pieces with 4 sauces. The chicken itself was good, well cooked and crispy but the sauce lineup felt excessive and mostly underwhelming. none really elevated the dish. We paired it with the Fries: Served with an even blander sauce that didn’t add much. I’d heard from friends that the fries here were a different take on hash browns and when I asked what happened to that structure they said they’d changed that on the menu. The fries were what you’d image a dive bar would serve, salty good flavour but again it could’ve been paired with a classic mayo and ketchup instead of a watery sauce with a dim flavour. The service was solid but not extraordinary. My friend and I talked to the manager/server about our comments and his follow-up was a strong point, listening to feedback and offering a replacement showed care. We were offered a burger (complimentary), after we mentioned my friend’s past experience here with a bland bun, the manager said it was one of his favourites and brought out a replacement that tasted better. However, I’m not sold on the concept of a burger cut in half and soaked in sauce; it changes the texture too much and feels gimmicky. Overall, paying $47 for mid-tier chicken and fries (even with a complimentary burger) doesn’t feel justified for what you get. What Would Make It Better: replace the current sauces with the homemade sauce the manager brought us to try, it was clearly the standout and would work well with both the chicken and fries. Simplify the sauce options or ask for preference and explain the menu so each item has a clear purpose and flavour profile instead of diluting the experience. Bottom Line is that MinniBar is good for a late night stop, but with average flavours, too many forgettable sauces, and a high bill for the quality, I wouldn’t rush back. If you do go, hope you get that homemade sauce, it’s the best thing on the plate. 6.5/10.

Food was good best fries I’ve had but waitress was horrible was served by Asain lady that lacked total attention took almost 15 minutes to offer ask for order when restaurant only had 6 people in it who had already been served like I said the food was good but a lazy un attentive waitress will really make you think twice about returning she even forgot one of my drinks I ordered usually when restaurants mess up with customers ordering the most expensive things on menu they usually try to show that they are sorry instead of continuing with the bad service dessert took almost 20 minutes because waitress was to busy chatting in my opinion but once again food is 100 percent on point and good and more then above what I expected and reasonably priced

The chef is doing some amazing experiment with the combination and the results are a must try. The menu is very precise so easy to end up trying everything if you are in a group. The key lime pie is one of the best I have had in a very long time, must try!

The restaurant is beautiful inside, but the food portions are extremely small for the price.

Everything about this restaurant is amazing. The food, the staff, the place. Can’t recommend it enough. Make sure to order their sandwiches and pizza and their key lime pie because it’s the best key lime pie in the whole world.

Visited minnibar before the Olivia Dean concert this past weekend, because it was close to the concert venue. Food was incredible (highlight was the truffle mushroom pizza). Service was lovely and cocktails were well made and reasonably priced. The food portions are small and on the higher end in terms of price but worth trying because everything was delicious! Would return if I came back to Mtl in future :)
