Google and Canada411 turn up nary a mention of Bu, the wine bar. (Lot's of hits for Boston University, however...) So, where is it, please? And what makes it so cool?

[Lesley C]

Bu opened on Oct. 21st. It's at 5245 St-Laurent between Fairmount and St-Viateur. The co-owner, Angelo Rindone, has compiled a seriously great little wine list. It's very cool, and apparently already the after-hours hangout for many of the city's chefs.

I'll let David add his two cents.

Anymore details about this new spot? Does it serve enoteca style food, antipasti?

[Lesley C]

I was there last Saturday --late -- and was happy to enjoy a nice bottle of 1993 Coteaux de Languedoc and a plate of Parmesan.

It's a great place to unwind, chat, and chew.

It's about time,finally an enoteca thats busy,I thought of this Idea back in 1997 but I never put it in motion.

Congrats to the people who did it.

Onionbreath have you been to an enoteca in Italy. the cuisine they serve we call it La Cucina Ingioranta ( I'm not trying to insult here) were they serve salumi,formaggi,sotto oglio and fresh bread.

I love this type of meal

Yes, Culatello, was fortunate to experience the pleisures of Enoteca dining in Roma, Firenze and in the Emilia-Romagna region where I discovered the beauty of pairing cheese with perfumed honey spooned from a large slab of honeycomb and, oh what selections of home-made cured meats... Hard to reproduce here.

Am looking forward to checking out Bu.

[merlin]

Thanks for the web-site link.

Looks terrific. Just the kind of spot that I would enjoy...except for the minor factor that I am four hours by plane away <ruefull grin>

Nice selection of nibblies and terrific wine selection. Nothing like it here in Edmonton I am afraid. I like the idea of being able to unwind with a good bottle of wine and some lighter fare than a big meal.

Prices look fairly good compared to what I recollect from trips back to Montreal in the past.

Another excuse for a trip back to Montreal.

Went there with a friend tonight...very tasty, well worth a return visit.

[Thesorus]

indeed ... worth it ...

went there early evening yesterday, just before the big rush, had a great time.

Their list of "vins au verre" was very fine, I had the espagnol trio and the méditéranéen trio with l'assiette BU ( dried and cured meat, with various antipasti ).
