The team that offered us the popular Renard bar and the vegan bistro Tendresse, in the Village, has just added a string to its bow with the opening of the Mardi snack-bar, next to the Renard, which replaces their previous project. , the Ton Quartier grocery store, open during the pandemic.
Open every day, the place, very small with its eight seats, is intended to be a café, a wine merchant and a mini-bar at the same time.
You can therefore stop there at will to grab a latte and a sandwich, have a drink while enjoying an aperitif board or simply grab a bottle from the beautiful selection of wines – a good alternative to empty shelves. from the SAQ!
The menu, produced by the sommelier and manager Marina Mammoliti, is exclusively made up of natural or biodynamic arrivals from private imports, and changes regularly.
You will find small lots and several exclusives, as well as several bottles stored in the cellar and ready to drink at the right temperature.
But that’s not all ; behind the closed door at the back of the room hides a hidden bar with 28 places inspired by the 70s, which should open in early 2022, tells us Marc-Antoine Coulombe, co-owner of the establishment with Isabelle Corriveau.
In the evening, the space before Tuesday will become, in a way, a space where you can have a drink while waiting for your seat at the back.
