Issan Wineroom on Laurier Street West brings a fresh concept to Montreal’s Thai dining scene, melding Chef Pamika Sukla’s deeply rooted Issan flavours with a curated, private-import wine list in a sleek wine bar format. This extension of the Pamika brand dials in on small plates and tapas, translating Thai classics into shareable bites like fiery Isan BBQ beef salad, velvety tom yum, and a standout shrimp choo chee in red curry. Chef Pamika stays true to her Issan roots, infusing local ingredients with rich, complex seasonings reminiscent of Thailand’s northern regions.
The atmosphere—an elegant, wood-and-brick blend inherited from the space’s former occupants—keeps the vibe upscale yet welcoming, with a neon-lit wine cellar setting the mood for the restaurant’s carefully selected vintages. In summer, diners can enjoy the city’s only Moo Kata (Thai BBQ) on the terrace, where the experience becomes an interactive journey of sizzling meats and aromatic dipping sauces.
