Pullman

A taste for taste. A bless in a continent where fake food has become normal.
Wines are really special, food has fine taste and the atmosphere is cosey!
Don’t doubt just go!

Nice atmosphere and great wine selection, but the food wasn’t to par. Prices were very reasonable though. I would have paid a bit more to add some punch to the food.
My wife and I ordered the spiced nuts and goat cheese apps which were a good start with a bottle of cotes-​du-​rhone wine.
We then ordered the grilled cheese, bison sliders and arancini. The grilled cheese was good, but could have used a dip of some kind, a chipotle ketchup or an aioli. The bison sliders were much smaller than they seemed in the pictures on Unilocal,which is not a big deal, but they were super dry and the flavor was not great. The fries that it came with were over cooked. The arancini was OK.
Finished with churros for dessert. Also ok.
I’d go back, but stick to drinks and possibly cheese and charcuterie plates.

Get their l’assiette du fromage! My boyfriend and I stopped here before going elsewhere for dinner, and shared the cheese plate. They have some really good cheese and confiture pairings! My boyfriend admitted he’s usually not a big fan of blue cheese, but he loved it paired with fig. I also enjoyed their nut purée to go with one of the other cheeses. The service was also incredible — and a good chance to practice my French!

Too popular, and consequently too crowded. You can’t just go for a drink. You also have to order a tapa or some other dish. Cocktails are pretty standard – nothing innovative. All things considered I don’t endorse coming here for a dining/​drinking experience. It’s a rare thumbs down from me.

This is a great wine and tapas bar in Montréal. If you are a wine connoisseur or just appreciate a nice glass of wine, Pullman has a variety range of vintages and great wines to offer.
I sampled the Trio Bordeaux (3 glasses of 2oz wine). It was great to have a variety to sample from.
In terms of food, we ordered the Bison Burgers (a must), Shrimps & Chorizo, Wild Scallop Carpaccio and the Cheese Board. The cheese board featured a variety of cheeses from the Quebec region which was great.
The service was great. The waiter that served us was very knowledgeable about the wines.
I would recommend this bar for a great date night in Montréal or just a girls wine night!

We were new to the whole tapas experience but our English speaking waiter was very polite and patient with us.
We had the bison burgers (so good), calamares, chorizo & shrimps (very tasty & spicy), smoked salmon, crispy lamb (also very good) and venison tartar. For wine we did the Trio Bulles and the Trio Breton. Both sets were delicious. We then finished it off with the Langhe 2011 Merlot.
My 20-​something kids enjoyed the ambiance. Overall a very good experience.

In this sexy wine and tapas bar, we sampled:
–Mini bison burgers — yum!
–Asparagus with dipping sauce and sticks of brioche — okay!
–Mini grilled cheese — HEAVENLY!!!
Great wine + fantastic grilled cheese = two great reasons to get your ass to Pullman.

Nice, cozy wine bar that also serves tapas. Great place for groups of 2 – 4 to drink wine and chat. The wine list is extensive and the waitress is helpful with selecting.
The food was just overcooked. We ordered 5 tapas, of which 4 were over cooked. All of the food had potential in flavors otherwise. The shrimp and chorizo dish, bison burger, Italian meatballs were all tough because of overcooking. We ordered a pastry item that had cheese and bacon stuffing and that was just very dry. Perhaps with some sort of dipping sauce, it would be better. The best dish was a spinach pasta with clams and lobster bisque. The pasta was tasty and cooked to just the right temperature and was al dente. The clam was overcooked and chewy.
Overall, nice selection of wines, decent service, but food was lacking. Maybe go for some wine and a charcuterie plate.

It so happens that my male friends frequently ask me where to take a girl they like on a first date, and even though I like to try new things and branch out and be original, I always say: Take her to Pullman. And they always get laid.
Kidding! I actually haven’t been able to keep track of how successful they’ve been. That’s how often I recommend Pullman!
I think every server must be a sommelier because they are so knowledgeable about the wine, and they never try to trick you into getting something just because it’s more expensive. In fact, they make you feel like it’s really normal to be mildly concerned about the price by casually asking you for a range when suggesting a bottle.
The food is great, and I don’t know why I love ticking my order off a paper menu with a pencil so much, but maybe it’s because it feels like a little personality quiz. It’s interactive, and with one menu and one pencil, you know you’re sharing the food with your date. They always have oysters and there is a flight of sparkling wines on the menu, so aphrodisiac central for those of you looking to seal the deal.
Maybe it’s more of a third date place. I don’t know. I won’t judge you either way.

Wonderful service. Great selection of beverages. We enjoyed brandade one night, and the chocolate truffles (amazing) the other. Lovely, chic ambiance. Great for a light meal, or an after-​dinner drink. They do require that you purchase food, not just a beverage. Would definitely visit again.

I walked into the wine bar and from what I had seen I was expecting to see the wine glass chandelier – a very lighting fixture.
I visit many wine bars across North America and Europe. I have great experiences but I am rarely wowed. I was wowed at Pullman. It was few blocks from my hotel and in easy stroll for great food and a very nice wine list.
First the staff were gracious and exceptional. Service goes a long way and to have great service lengthens a good memory to be a great one.
I started off with a glass of Les Pervenches Solinou 2013 this is a blend of Frontenac, Pinot Noir, Zweigelt, and Pinot Noir — so unexpected and I think it shows that Quebec is yet another region that produces beautiful and compelling wines. Since this wine was completely unexpected I walked away craving to taste more wines from Quebec. This wine matched the food I had ordered in particular the short ribs. I had to order a Bourgogne – Domaine Billard Hautes-​Cotes de Beaune 2013.
The next wine was Burja Vipaska Dolina Istrian Malvasia 2013 and the red wine I had was something I didn’t expect. Southard Wahluke Slope Stone Vineyard 2011 – a gorgeous wine and from a region that is hard to find even in the US.
So between my courses of wine I ordered the cod brandade, short ribs with superbly and nicely micro cuts of radish and mango, and the Italian meatballs. I was dining alone and had plenty to eat. Each dish presented was nicely plated.
And I drank my dessert — at the suggestion of the server I ordered Michel Gahier Macvin du Jura – a sublime, earthy-​delicate wine; notes of beeswax, exotic citrus, dried Turkish fig and hint of freshly ground cardamom.
A very nice selection of wines and great food – I cannot wait to return.

Dear winos,
I have been here numerous times and the only disappointment I ever faced was their deep fried tapas. Now taste wise, everything I ever had was pretty darn delicious. Just avoid the calamari and grilled cheese… soaked in oil! Besides that downfall, they change up the menu ever month and always have a huge selection of wine. I definitely recommend this wine bar for a couple or tasting since they offer wine tasting with a good price. Yes, you should go… get their goat cheese, its always my first choice and always so delicious! Mmm

Ah, a wine bar. Plus tapas! When I see either one of these categories I get very excited, so when they’re combined you know I’m happy as a clam. On my last day of vacation, while Adam was executing the «business» portion of our trip, I chose Pullman as our final restaurant stop together. I’m totally happy with the decision and I’d definitely return.
First of all, Pullman is in a great location that was walking distance from our downtown hotel (right next to the amazing La Crêpe 2 Go, which I’ll review soon). The atmosphere is very chic and sexy. There’s a gorgeous, sparkling, ornate chandelier right as you walk in, and there are many small tables and a little bar. We didn’t go upstairs (but it looked fabulous up there like the rest of the restaurant) — we walked down a little half staircase to our own tiny table. And I mean tiny… Adam even had to share a stool with the person behind him. It was meant to be shared, of course, but it’s just super close quarters. We had trouble fitting our food, plates, silverware, wine, and water on our table since it was literally like a 2X2 foot square. It was really lovely though — with only a little light from a single candle. Romantic and cozy.
Our waiter did a great job talking about the wine and making recommendations. You can get little 2 oz pours of several wines for $ 4.5-$ 7 CAD each, a 4 oz glass for $ 8-​$ 15ish, and a flight of three 2 oz pours for $ 22ish. We stuck with a regular 4 oz glass, and our favorite was a white from Slovenia. We mentioned to the waiter that we’re not picky about wine as long as it isn’t sweet, and he told us «there’s no sweet wine on our menu.» Well, good!
For dinner we had the cheese board, the charcuterie board, and the Piri Piri short ribs. Ohhhhh man, I was in heaven. There were 4 very different and beautiful cheeses paired with 4 accompaniments (pureed fig, apple, some other kind of fruit jelly thing, and a walnut paste). The charcuterie board was AMAZING with 2 incredible sausages, prosciutto, duck, pâté, a mustard cream sauce, grapes, and cornichons. The piri piri short ribs were phenomenal — the sauce was super spicy, but not overbearing. Nice portions and plenty of food to share on each plate. Plus, these tapas are definitely affordable. I’d say most items were between $ 8-​$ 12. Beautiful meal and setting all around.

Une (très) belle carte des vins, des serveurs attentionnés qui prennent le temps d’expliquer ce qu’ils servent, du tartare de cerf avec des chips maison, un grilled cheese au vieux cheddar, et un plateau de fromages, tout ça dans une ambiance posée… après une dure journée de travail, c’était exactement ce dont j’avais besoin !!

Delicious!
Great service, décor and ambiance.
the wine list was extensive and we had a great bottle of French rose.
Service was very friendly. And food was great.
We ordered a bunch of tapas, as we wanted to try a lot of different things. From bison to calamari they have a bit of everything on their menu.
This restaurant was recommended by a friend in our group and did not dissappoint.
Montréal really has good food, everywhere we went was nice food.
Pullman is a cool, trendy spot but the food is also on point.
We ordered calamari, green beans, beet salad, lamb brisket empanadas, bison sliders, chorizo and shrimp and other stuff i can’t recall… everything was tasty. We had a great time.
Definitely recommend.
As far as prices, it was reasonable for all we ordered.

One of a kind.
Cool concept
Unique décor
Great menu
Wine list for days
Just try it out and you will see! Great date spot

While visiting Montréal, we were lucky enough to have a few friends from Boston also visiting at the same time as us and we all met up at Pullman from another friend’s recommendation! I was pleasantly surprised :)
We shared a bunch of small plates, which is absolutely what I recommend doing, so individual meals could get pricey. The thing I loved most about Pullman was the ambience and décor inside. So chic and modern — it didn’t feel like the rest of Montréal that we had explored. Super friendly waitress and host staff. Drinks were strong!

Très joli et sympathique petit bar à vin, à quelques pas de la station Place des arts. J’ai eu la chance de m’y rendre hier pour le 5 à 7. Comme la place venait presque tout juste d’ouvrir pour la soirée, j’étais complètement seule dans la salle. J’ai donc pu tout observer attentivement… L’ambiance était chaleureuse et la petite musique jazzy qui jouait y était pour beaucoup je pense. Un magnifique «chandelier «fait de verres à vin surplombe l’entrée, wow! Super original. On m’a fait prendre place à la mezzanine, sur une banquette assez confortable. Il me semble qu’il n’y avait pas énormément de places assises, mais juste assez pour donner une bonne ambiance quand le bar/​restaurant est rempli. Le service auquel j’ai eu droit à l’accueil était exceptionnel. On a pris mon manteau pour le mettre au vestiaire, donc pas de gros vêtement d’hiver mis en boule sur mon siège pour m’encombrer.
Les serveurs se font un plaisir de présenter le menu, très diversifié d’ailleurs, et évidemment, de parler des différents vins offerts. Au verre, en trio, à la bouteille; blanc, rouge, bulles… Il y en a pour tous les goûts. Comme on s’y attendrait d’un endroit pareil situé dans le centre-​ville, les prix sont un peu élevés, mais bon. La nourriture est délicieuse et le vin aussi. Comme il faut absolument prendre quelque chose à grignoter pour boire de l’alcool, j’ai choisi une petite assiette de ravioli, courge, ricotta et sauge. Quel délice! Ajouté récemment au menu, ce plat est déjà un incontournable, paraît-​il… et je comprends pourquoi. J’y retournerai assurément pour essayer d’autres plats et vins. La carte est tellement bien garnie, les possibilités sont infinies!

Un des meilleurs bars à vin à Montréal, localisé dans un petit local sur Avenue du Parc, près de Sherbrooke, nombreux vins + menu tapas, bel intérieur moderne, design + urbain. Service correct et professionnel. C’est un ”win-​win” ^_​^ Vous aussi vous allez aimer ! Enjoy !
⁵⁄₅ visité en juillet 2014.

L’endroit est chaleureux, les tapas sont excellents et le choix d’alcool est diversifié. Mais pour moi, le Pullman demeurera pour toujours l’endroit où, lors d’un souper de Noël de bureau, la copine de mon patron de l’époque, incidemment aussi sa cousine, lui a versé sa coupe de vin rouge sur la tête devant tous ses employés après une crise plus ou moins enfantine (de la part des deux). Certains moments dans la vie sont trop délicieux pour être oubliés. Merci, Pullman ! :)

Pullman, tu m’a sauvé du froid et de la grêle! C’était en mars dernier que je venais à ta rencontre après une longue semaine de travaille. Je suis sortie à a station Place des Arts, puis j’ai commencé à marcher vers toi. En fait, je pensais que je marchais vers toi mais après 15 minutes, je me suis rendue compte que j’étais complètement perdue.
Avec l’aide de quelques étrangers, et après un autre 30 minutes de marche, je t’ai enfin trouvé et tu m’as tout de suite réchauffé avec ton ambiance chaleureuse, ton décor à la fois moderne et éclectique, puis tes bancs confortables.
Quelques instants plus tard, tu m’a emmené un bon verre de vin d’Italie (je né me souviens pas du nom, j’étais trop occupée à regarder tes beaux yeux). J’ai partagé mon verre avec mes amies qui avaient aussi reçu chacune une coupe différente. Un grill-​cheese nous a permis de se faire un p’tit fond pour profiter d’une deuxième ronde de purs délices.
Merci de m’avoir réchauffé de haut en bas, jusqu’aux petites orteilles!

I was traveling with my boyfriend and his Belgian family and I was in charge of choosing restaurants and booking reservations. They love to have apéritif so I suggested we go to Pullman for some wine and snacks before dinner. Since they love wine and are pretty knowledgeable about it this place was great. They got to try some nice wines and we had some delicious cheese and charcuterie. It was the perfect pre-​dinner place. It was even mentioned that this was their favorite bar on the whole trip.
Nice décor and good service. It was a pretty elegant place with a relaxed environment. Would be a nice date-​place or girls night.
A bit pricey so I would suggest going here expecting to pay a lot
