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.

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.
