Rating: 10 out of 10.

We were graciously invited to @pointbarlounge. A Colombian/Venezuelan-inspired resto-cocktail bar in Montreal’s “Quartier Latin”.
We accepted this invitation because we admired the owners’ confidence in their product, and as we found out, it is totally justified.
A warm, hospitable welcome and great atmosphere awaited us upon our arrival.

We started with a tasting plate of all the entrées to try and sample as much as possible, and each item was wonderful.
Followed by main dishes of:

  • Arepa de Chicharrón: excellent guacamole covering perfectly prepared pork belly in a plantain arepa
  • Poutine Latino Québécoise: because we had to. It is exactly as described, and we loved it

But the highlight for us was the magnificent signature cocktails. An aptly named El Ritual that involves burning rosemary under a cloche to give the drink its distinctive smoky flavour and our (my) new favourite summer drink: Mexicana. A Paloma-style drink with Ancho chiles and watermelon. I could drink this every day. I will drink many this summer.

Overall, we very much enjoyed the authentic cuisine, the incredible cocktails, and the lively atmosphere, and we would most definitely return.
