Bar Mamie feels like stepping into your Northern French grandmother’s kitchen for an evening of exceptional wine and charcuterie. Found near Little Italy, this neighbourhood gem offers a comforting yet contemporary take on French culinary traditions, all inspired by owner Max Rosselin’s upbringing in a small French village.
The heart of Bar Mamie lies in its simplicity and conviviality. Generous boards of house-made charcuterie, perfectly paired cheeses, and nostalgic small plates like raclette and rillette take centre stage. The fare is unpretentious, relying on quality, seasonal ingredients to evoke the comforting warmth of home-cooked meals.
True to its name, Bar Mamie has a strong focus on wine, breaking down barriers with its approachable “à la verse” concept: drink more, pay less. With an ever-changing chalkboard menu of reds, whites, rosés, and skin-contact wines, alongside a secret list of rare finds for connoisseurs, there’s something for everyone.
The cozy interior, decorated with vintage touches and personal mementos from Max’s late grandmother, radiates charm, while the sunny summer terrace offers a prime spot to soak in the buzz of the area.
