The Plateau’s Bar Vivar seamlessly melds the rich flavors of Spanish cuisine and an atmosphere reminiscent of intimate Spanish taverns with the warmth of a local haunt. Helmed by Georges Greiche and Patrick Oakes, both Joe Beef veterans, this charming spot offers a mix of a genuine taste of Spain with Montreal touches. Georges, a Montreal native with a passion for storytelling through food, and Patrick, a sommelier with a flair for hospitality, have created a space where the menu will showcase high-quality attention to dishes alongside carefully selected wines, sherries, and vermouths—and it’s quickly become a home away from home for many.
