Poincaré Chinatown

"This gem inside the gates of Chinatown is a hipster hangout in a historic building, inspired by the neighbourhood. With ten cocktails on the menu – names like Baijiu Caîpirinha dans Chinatown, the Ville-Marie Ice Tea and Purple Haze might catch your attention – this second-storey spot featuring a rooftop patio is the perfect place to start (or end) the night." - Daniel Bromberg, Valerie Silva

"A solid bet for anyone scouting out a downtown terrasse that’s cozier than what can be found atop a (frequently generic) hotel. At Poincaré, the drinks are the focal point — and it’s got micro-brewed beers, natural wines, and creative cocktails (carrot gin tonic, anyone?) aplenty, but its menu of fermented foods also warrants your attention." - Valerie Silva, Kaitlyn McInnis, Tim Forster

"Platters of fermented veggies, charcuterie, and kimchi make for great warm weather dining at this Chinatown rooftop. Pair it with a craft beer or fresh cocktail, and it could hardly get any better." - Valerie Silva, Tim Forster

"This environmentally-minded newcomer already has a quite low mark-up on an immense and affordable wine list ranging from orange wines to pet nats. The deal here is that the whole list is available with something from the menu, and Chef Jeremiah Bullied’s restaurant-canned goods make for the perfect home picnic ($10 beef and dark chocolate ragout, anyone?). Add some toilet paper and some of the excellent beer selection to your order while you’re at it." - Amie Watson
