Bar Piquette

Such a poor experience last night. My friend and I have come here a couple of times & have not been treated this way before. We came at about 11pm & ordered a bottle of bubbles. We asked for the charcuterie, to which the manger dude said “kitchen is closed”. Which is fine, but my friend then asked another bartender & he said the kitchen closed at 12am… not exactly sure what the manager’s deal was. I was hungry & did not want to drink without eating something, so I hopped over to subway to grab a sub & potato bites. I asked the barback if he would mind if I snacked & he said “sure”. I didn’t even get one bite of the potato bites in before the manager comes & scolds me with “you can’t do that here”. I wouldn’t have to bring outside food into the bar if he had given us the charcuterie, I also was not planning on eating the sub there, I went outside to eat it. Mind you the bar and entire place was not packed by any means, there was maybe 3 other groups. The barback then apologized to me for the manager’s behaviour. Awfully rude of the manager & just so unprofessional. Wine was good, but he put a bad taste in my mouth. He needs to fix that attitude problem he has got going on, it’s embarrassing on his part and tainting the wine bar’s reputation.

Wines, wonderful wines by the glass and bottle. Wonderful funky wines to buy. This is a big part of Bar Piquette. The other side is a fantastic restaurant that has delicious food and great service. The cheese fondue is so brilliantly boozy with creative things to dip. A massive mortadella sandwich which is the meat of the gods. I truly appreciate creative veg dishes and as I always say. You don’t need many desserts but you need one and that is exactly what they have. Sweet backyard patios are always welcome when the weather is good.

Great place for a glass of wine and a snack. Atmosphere was definitely casual but a great vibe. Mortatella bun is a must. Small menu, good bites, great wine. We'll go back!

We had the oysters, tuna crudo, radicchio salad and mushroom crustini, all were amazing! Definitely a great spot for a date night with sharables and lots of wine available by the glass. Service was great and we appreciated that they timed bringing out all the dishes very well one at at time not making us feel rushed.

Had such a pleasant evening here. We had a handful of dishes and all of them were great. The service was great as multiple people came to check on us and make sure everything was good / cleared between services. Great wine selection. Cute. Fun vibes !

Would have ordered every dish on the menu had we left more room for food! Every item we did order was delicious, fresh and flavourful! We ordered the warm olives, burrata, East Coast oysters, 3 cheese plate and the duck liver mousse. What originally attracted me to this place was the funky wines they offered! If you’re looking for a wine bar who’s wines are as delicious and thoughtful as the food, look no further! I’m super into Skin Contact/Orange Wine right now and they had a good selection when I was there the other day! Their menu is constantly and seasonally changing so you’d have a hard time finding a menu online, or posted anywhere; just trust whatever they’re serving is spectacular! Cute, cozy, warm, intimate setting. Warm lighting and wood decor make this a great spot to go with friends or a date night. They also have a partially heated back patio which they keep open all year ‘round! Would definitely recommend this spot and am looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes! Bring a friend so you can try more items, share-style plates.

Finally got to sit in their year round patio which was very cute and was definitely inspired by a greenhouse. I love these types of places, great food, great drinks and a cozy place to sit. The food is always great here and good sizes so that you can try multiple dished but still a good price. This time we got the smoked duck with Shishido peppers, the little gem salad and the burrata with peas and bread.

Little fact about me, I love a wine bar! Bar Piquette has the perfect warm and cozy aesthetic. The wine is delish and the food was awesome! The best thing though was by far the mortadella sandwich - you have to order that! Such a cute spot for a little date night!

very cute spot with reasonable prices for plates and drinks! the octopus was super tender. i liked how they let us add some pieces since we had 4 people.

Bar Piquette is a quaint little spot with a beautifully decorated interior. We arrived around 9:30 PM and they were able to accommodate us right away without a reservation. The service was quick. We ordered the oysters, tuna crudo, gin and tonic, and duck crostini. The food was very good and quite fresh. I especially enjoyed the oysters, which were meaty. However, the portion sizes were not generous (more like snack sized portions). For the size of the dishes, it was a bit pricey.

Solid spot if you're looking for a nice bar in the city. The restaurant has nice renovations, a good cocktail menu, and a bunch of shareables which is great for a bar type experience. However, nothing really impressed or made it memorable for me, including the few dishes that we ordered. I thought things were a little pricey but I guess it's just Toronto. Check it out if you're looking for a new spot.

Incredible vibes here. We stopped in for a drink after dinner and sat at the bar. The music was groovy, the design of the space is AMAZING. the drink menu options are limited to wine and gin & tonics pretty much, but not something I will complain about because that's really all you need. The super friendly bartender convinced me on the gin & tonic and my friend got the orange wine. They have a great selection of wines. What sold me on this place though was the ambiance - I would come back just for that!!

Cute wine bar with a heated back patio. They don't have a lot of wine varietals. However, the burrata was delicious, served with honey and red chilis.

We decided on a whim to take advantage of a beautiful Saturday night in Toronto and wandered over to Piquette around 8:30pm in hopes they would be able to accommodate us. Their beautiful back patio was full, but we got a cozy table near the front. The vibe is very relaxed and calm, but buzzing at the same time. We shared a few plates- the tuna was AMAZING, and the burrata- I'm actually not completely tolerant of lactose but I could not stop picking at the burrata- the honey drizzle made the dish above other burratas I've had. My partner had the mortadella sandwich as we kept seeing them come out and figured why not and he thoroughly enjoyed it. The asparagus was also note worth (I wish I got a second portion). We had a few glasses of wine and shared the lemon tart which again was AMAZING!! Im so happy to have finally been able to experience Bar Piquette- the service was efficient and kind and it all came together as a perfect casual night out.

I loved the experience, super cozy and friendly. The service is on point and simple as I like. The food was fantastic and the wine selection is amazing!

Love visiting Bar Piquette. The tapas/ small plates and wine menu are the best in the area. The food is very well done. The back patio is still a fav. The cover makes it great in all weather. The staff is cool and the vibe is awesome.

Came for a late night bite. The steak tartare was no good. Luckily the gem salad was nice bright and refreshing. Their website has no information as to what they serve and makes it seem as though they are booked all the time. Would not go back.

Delicious. The food stands on its own merit, even without the extensive wine offerings. Our standouts were: - Mortadella sandwich - amazing. Still think about this now. Layers on layers of delicious mortadella. - Octopus - with a knockout pepper cream sauce.

It was a perfect fall afternoon and we were looking for a patio to have a quick drink before moving on to another part of the city. My friend spotted Piquette, so I quickly parked on Queen. The staff were friendly and of appropriate quality for what we discovered to be a very well appointed and stocked sophisticated small wine bar/tasting menu establishment. The back patio was totally charming, and populated by people enjoying the wine and small plates. I overheard some conversations and heard complex words and true laughter. Refreshing ! We ordered Matron Zhuzh craft beer for our brief visit. My friend has a highly refined palate and an elevated sense of style. She completely approved. Will absolutely return and add to my review.

This happening wine bar has held up really well since I last reviewed it three years ago. The patio out back is now a "partially heated" winterized space - I saw some chicks wearing short sleeves out there when the weather was below zero, so it's actually not too bad (personally I did find it a little nippy and asked to move inside). Anyhoo, the wines by the glass are pretty consistently excellent and well curated, and the servers really know their stuff. They can definitely help you select a great glass or make that perfect pairing. The menu is Spanish tapas style, insofar as it leans to cheese and cured meats, and includes other stuff like marinated anchovies and octopus. I can't comment too much on the food because we opted for chips and dip to start (addictive, though we could have used double the amount of chips) and then ordered the $46 cheese fondue, which came with a mixed platter that included mini potatoes, summer sausage, juicy hot peppers and hunks of bread. It was delicious and enough to fill both of us up. All in all, Piquette remains a vibey little spot that's a great bet for a fun night out. Pro-tip: when you're finished, go enjoy some live music next door at Poetry!

Small and bright with white tables and blackboards indicating the current and rather extensive wine by the glass choices along with a handful of accompanying food options. Instead of a hidden cellar, bottles adorned with "The Price is Right" tags are stored in a rustic cabinet teasing patrons within plain sight. Limited menu of cold choices. We opted for a classic beef tartare, a tomato salad intertwined with guanciale and a simple cheese toast. Admittedly a little pedestrian but the ingredient were of stellar quality and each dish paired nicely with the one the many exciting selection of unique vinos. The wine selection was bold and unique with plenty of by the glass offerings from all over the place. Temptation came screaming from the custom cabinet but I mainly stuck to glasses of skin-on organics and other fun libations.

I've heard a lot of good things about this place but I guess it was just not to my taste. I liked the mackerel and that's about it

Nice, fun and relaxing wine bar. Love the vibe and there are so many wines by the glass to choose from! The mortadella bun sandwich was delicious and we also liked the crudo. Good spot for pre or post dinner drinks!

Was delish! We had oysters and some amazing cocktails. Was a quiet spot and service was very good.

Advertises a patio that is not actually a patio but a fully enclosed section of the restaurant without any open windows.

Lovely vibes! My parents were visiting from outta town, as we first entered I won't lie greeting was a lil less than welcoming. Seemed like the person who seated us was quite busy, which resulted in a sort of standoffish almost annoyed first impression. But after a while Sam took over as our server and did a great job recovering!! Our night was completely turned around for the better! Wine list was great, menu was very nice! Both were of course delicious! Would definitely come again :)

This place has a good vibe. Interesting wines, tasty sharing plates. A great place to just chill out with friends in a cozy and dynamic place.

Have been here twice and had exceptional experiences both times. First experience was with a friend, where we had delicious food, and both loved our cocktails. Second was with an unfortunately terrible date, and when I told the staff on my way to the restroom that I was looking for an escape, they checked in to make sure I was feeling safe, and were unbelievably kind. Exceptional service, great experience, will continue coming back and recommending to friends and family!
