The Best BYOW restaurants in Montreal
The level of popularity that the ‘bring-your-own-wine’ (BYOW or BYOB) formula has earned is in no way surprising. Considering the versatility, individual adaptability, and feeling of engagement that BYOW restaurants provide for their diners, it only makes sense! Whether you are working with a smaller budget, or just have an all-time favourite bottle of wine, spending an evening in a BYOW restaurant can make the overall dining experience just a little more comfortable.
The restaurants we suggest in this list are not just bring-your-own-wine concepts, we chose them because the food they serve is tasty, and the atmosphere is pleasant. All the factors are gathered to allow you to spend a pleasant moment as a couple, with family or friends, accompanied by a bottle of your favourite wines.
Bon appétit!
