Vino Volo - Dorval

Handy to kill time before a flight. Had a red blend from BC, nice and relaxing :

Had a good charcuteries cheese board with a glass of wine all of which I was happy to find at the end of the departures corridor. Service was disinterested... prices were typical airport expensive.

Only place on the whole airport that serves some décent diner after 21:00

Expensive but good quality food and wine makes a change from the usual airport restaurants

A wine bar in an airport. Disappointing in most important aspects. Seating is satisfactory. Wine list is wide ranging and interesting. Prices are on the high side, with the lowest priced wine about CAD$13/glass. Wine service is appallingly bad. Deplorable. Wines served in poor condition. Service was slow. In a wine bar you'd expect some attention to be paid to the condition of the wines. We ordered a glass of Cava (Spanish sparkling wine) made with X-arelo grape variety. It was served flat, quite simply because the bottle had been opened the previous day. The glass of Volpaia Sangiovese we ordered was oxidized (also from a bottle opened the previous day). When we sent the Cava back, it was replaced with a glass from a freshly opened bottle. However, I was left to struggle through the oxidized sangiovese. We had to remind the staff to bring glasses of water, requested at the outset. We observed the wait-staff decanting from one bottle into another..... not sure what was going on there. Service was slow, considering that there were at least four wait staff and we were the only clients. The pulled pork sandwich was quite good. Perhaps management of vino volo thinks that wine quality and service are not important in an airport location, as people are just passing through. Wrong! I pass through that part of the airport at least 8 times annually. I'm a repeat customer, and I would hesitate to stop at Vino Volo again.
