| - Didn't mean to come here, and came here under weird circumstances + I was sleepy from previously consumed wine, so probably didn't have the best time....but overall it was a good experience.
Everyone told us we had to go to Joe Beef when in Montreal, but it didn't fit in out itinerary so we tried to at least sneak in for a drink at 11:30pm since the hours listed 12am as closing. They did have room at the bar for us, but due to some weird Montreal laws they couldn't serve us a drink without food, and the kitchen was already closed, so they sent us to Le Vin Papillon.
Same stupid rule applied here, but their kitchen was open later, so we were able to just order something small and get more wine.
The menu was completely in French, but the bartenders were helpful and we both found wines we liked. We ordered an appetizer that was described as "light" with zero intentions of eating it since we were so full, but could satisfy the weird laws. Naturally I tried just one bite, and was in love!! Some sort of Celery Fritter which was amazingly light, topped with grated cheese....sounds quite horrible, but this was like eating perfectly seasoned clouds!!
Definitely would return for a proper meal!
