Caveau Wine Bar & Deli

Find it hard to imagine mixing stylish, classic and affordable with high-class and non-pretentious? Not if you are Jean-Yves Muller (former manager of The Bascule) and Brendon Crew (former manager of one. waterfront) and Marc Langlois (former manager at The Mount Nelson Hotel), the reasons Caveau manages to pull off this seemingly impossible combination with effortless flair and selfless chivalry.

These food and wine ‘passionistas’, swept up the romantic antique cellars in the famous Heritage Square building to ensure you the most convenient and relaxing way of keeping updated with who’s who in the local wine route.

Bringing the Wine Route to your doorstep

"A literary, epicurean and gastronomic society was founded in Paris in 1729 by Piron, Colle, Galle and Crebillon the younger, during a dinner at Landelle's famous restaurant, Le Caveau, in Rue Buci. Boucher, Rameau and Maurepas were also members.
The rules of this society were strict: Any member who lacked decorum during the discussions had to drink water."
