Laurent Farre and Alain Rochard have long been connected to a Saint-Denis Street restaurant that sustained an epicurean and eclectic crowd for more than 25 years. The Bistro Continental, fondly referred to as 'Conti", was known for its tasty tartare, succulent duck and fabulous figcar paccio with goat cheese.
But the Conti was also known for its wine list, comprised of private imports and selections from Laurent and Alain's vineyard, Vignoble du Loup blanc, located in France's Minervois wine region.
In 2014, the partners decided to focus on their first love and sell the Continental. "We love wine. Alain is a sommelier, we have our vineyard and we also have a wine import agency, Plan Vin," says Laurent. "So it all connected, and we made it so that the wine bar was the ultimate goal." In March 2015, they opened Rouge Gorge in the heart of Plateau Mont-Royal.
THE wine bar of the hour! Everything here shows off wine at its best: the ambiance, the service, the simple and delectable cuisine, and of course the wide selection of wines that varies as shipments come in.
For wine lovers, this bar is the perfect place for a party that will be based on surprising food and wine pairings, and a five-course meal, for $80 per person, which is guaranteed to impress you. Their large dinner party, in heart of the Plateau, is by reservation only, and then they will offer free entry at 11:00 pm.
The wine bar of Alain Rochard and Laurent Farre - former owners of the restaurant Le Continental - has quickly established itself as a go-to place for wine lovers of the Plateau neighbourhood. The establishment has a bar permit, so there is plenty to enjoy if it’s not food you seek. That being said, the Rouge Gorge also offers a great range of small dishes to satisfy your appetite, all while exploring the wine list.
