Opened in January 2020 on Notre-Dame Street West, Stem Bar offers modern and delicate cuisine. Stem Bar, owned by the September Surf Café proprietors, warmly invites neighborhood residents to share relaxed and friendly moments.

Designed by Ravi Handa, the Stem Bar’s décor focuses on simplicity and subdued ambiance, complemented by carefully arranged vintage details. With seating capacity for up to 57 guests, this elongated space provides a comfortable experience, whether at the bar or around small tables. Recognizing that reservations are not always an option, the bar has been arranged to offer a section for patrons who wish to enjoy a drink while waiting for a table, without disrupting the flow.

In the kitchen, Kevin Tolton crafts a constantly evolving seasonal menu, leaving room for momentary inspirations and innovation. Emphasizing sharing, this menu offers a selection of fresh and finely executed small plates. The dishes, both simple and indulgent, are meant to be savored without restraint!

Stem Bar’s true strength lies in its drink selection. For its wine list, it favors small independent producers carefully chosen through private imports. As for the beer selection, Sandro focuses on local breweries. Just like the cuisine, the drink menu is regularly updated with exciting new additions, providing customers with the opportunity to make thrilling discoveries throughout the year.

Stem Bar embodies that indefinable “je ne sais quoi”; a place where one simply feels good, perfect for a relaxed evening in the Petite-Bourgogne neighborhood.
