Piquette Wine Bar

What is Piquette Wine Bar? Anchoring the corner of Queen Street West and Dovercourt Road in Trinity Bellwoods, Bar Piquette is an intimate neighbourhood wine bar built around low-intervention bottles and refined small plates. The softly lit interior features warm millwork, custom oak bottle shelving, and sleek marble counter seating alongside plush green banquettes and a covered back solarium patio. It operates as an unfussy haven where locals can linger over thoughtful pours without formality or pretense.

Piquette Wine Bar Menu & What to Order The kitchen turns out a focused list of wine-friendly snacks, led by the signature mortadella bun stacked with shaved mortadella, pickled fennel, and garlic mayonnaise on a tender milk bun. Bite-sized piquette buns—particularly the spicy 'nduja with stracciatella and Rosewood honey, and the smoked duck with sunchoke purée and fig jam—deliver outsized flavor alongside smoked trout dip and tender octopus salad. Vegetarians have strong choices in the mushroom tartare and roasted beet salad with whipped ricotta, while the rotating glass and bottle list champions small-scale natural producers, skin-contact oranges, and refreshing pét-nats.

Know Before You Go Table reservations can be booked via OpenTable, though the bar counters and high tops accommodate walk-ins looking for a casual glass. Weekends get packed quickly, while Mondays draw steady crowds for the 50-percent-off all bottles dine-in special. The 501 Queen streetcar stops directly outside, and paid street parking is available along Queen West and Dovercourt Road.
