"Perfect for 5 à 7 sips or date night drinks, Buvette Chez Simone keeps the fun flowing with a notable selection of by-the-glass pours, although stopping at just one can be difficult. The charcuterie and cheese plates are also solid." - JP Karwacki

"This Parc Avenue wine bar with an enviable 5 à 7 scene bustles well after dark. The same goes for younger sibling Bar à Flot, a couple of doors south, where the terrasse is both luminous and low-key, and the drinks constantly flow." - Valerie Silva

"Simone Chevalot’s Mile End wine bar is a favourite. The wines skew European (French, in particular), but offer some diversity. Meanwhile, neighbouring sibling establishment Bar à Flot, led by co-owner and sommelier Florence Pelland-Goyer, flaunts plenty of organic and natural wines from all over the world. Both offer cozy terrasses overlooking Parc Avenue." - Daniel Bromberg

"This favorite spot turned what used to be a dismal block on Avenue du Parc into a happening strip, inspiring a wave of restaurants and businesses to open around it. The bar’s stylish interiors are characterized by narrow, long tables for intimate group gatherings around drinks and one of their delicious roast chickens, served without pomp or circumstance on a wooden board. The constantly evolving wine list is superb and varied in terms of pricing, and their cocktails are straightforward but scrumptious. This is a popular after-work and weekend spot, so expect to wait a bit for a table."
