BOUILLON BILK in Montreal

We made reservations at Bouillon Bilk ln the same day on a weekday and we are so happy we went! The interior is dim so if you have poor eyesight, you might need to use your phone for its brightness. The menu says 8 course is from 8pm onwards but we were told that because its a weekday and not too busy, we could do the 8 courses. The appetizers were delicious and made us very excited for the mains. The cod was so good and flakey. It was cooked perfectly and the flavors were amazing. The lamb was my husbands favorite. The duck is duck breast and a duck heart. Ive never seen duck heart served in a restaurant before so that was very interesting. It was actually more tender than the duck breast! The green apple dessert was tart and definitely a palate cleanser. The pear desserts sorbet component was a big hit. It was light and full of pear flavor. We were celebrating our anniversary and Bouillon Bilk was kind enough to put candles on our dessert. The staff are very patient and kind. Highly recommend Bouillon Bilk!!

Simply outstanding.

First visit since moving following the fire. Really disappointed with the dishes and the service as if the quality and the gastronomic aspect had been neglected with this new location. Honestly a shame because my first experience was perfect.

The 8-course tasting menu was simply incredible, very warm welcome

A perfectly nice evening out with delicious food. Lacked something though to make the evening magical...ambience maybe? Service was good but just not warm enough, we almost felt silly asking questions

Everything is cooked to perfection, the flavors blend together very well. The service is really good.

Bouillon Bilk has already been a magnificent gastronomic restaurant where each element of the plate was worked delicately and with taste. My experience last night was, at best, a bistro menu. How to serve a dish so poorly presented and with so little care under the name gastronomy (see photo). The pork was very good but what a lack of finish. I force myself more to make boiled carrots at home. How do you say? Its garoche. I think Im going to say goodbye to this address.

Wow. We ve wanted to try this place for years-and we finally did! Fantastic variety, inventive flavors, and impeccable service. We will return on our trips to Montreal for sure. Thanks so much for a memorable holiday celebration!

Took the 5 course meal, The trout was good, the carpaccio was badly cut had chunk of fat or vein but it was unchewable and made my stomach turn :( I still get nauseous thinking of it. Imagine very big raw piece of vein in ur plate. I hate lamb so couldnt eat that course. The duck also was unchewable... ( maybe I got unlucky with the first bite I took which had veins... but at that point, I couldnt even continue trying ) Left hungry and nauseous

Detail-oriented team. Kind. Special attention paid to my food intolerances. Special attention for a person with reduced mobility. Super nice experience.

We returned to Bouillon Bilk this week in their new premises. The food and wine are excellent. The presentation of the dishes is magnificent! However, big downside in terms of service. We were seated at the counter. The evening was not very busy. The maître d was on her cell phone behind the computer at the entrance to the restaurant. The waiters, not very busy, gathered at the bar to talk about their cats veterinary care, their favorite gyms and their plans for the weekend. While sitting at the counter, we witnessed all of this throughout the evening... This is unprofessional, especially coming from a restaurant with such a reputation. We were really disappointed and it tarnished our experience.

Our go to for fine dining in Montreal. We had the 8 course tasting menu with Canadian wine pairings. Some spectacular pairings with innovative food. Service is delightful proper yet relaxed. Not something you can afford every day, but well worth it for that special date night.

Great place and food we received good service the wine pairings were excellent with the 8 course menu

One of my favs overall!!

We really enjoyed our experience! The food was excellent, the food and wine pairing was perfect. Very good service, nice atmosphere. I had a great birthday evening, thank you to the whole team!

The atmosphere of the place is very calm; it s not the most luxurious spot, but its environment is modern and fresh. The service was incredible, with everyone being attentive from the entrance to the waitstaff. The food was wonderful, and if you re definitely looking for a place with its own unique flair that s delicious and you probably won t find anywhere else, it s worth the experience. I don t usually eat much meat, so I ordered a vegetarian dish with eggplants, and it was amazing, while the cucumber dessert was fabulous. The price is reasonable for the experience. Thank you all so much!

Excellent meal, sophisticated cuisine, fresh seasonal produce. Friendly, courteous and smiling staff. Beautiful place, airy, very pleasant! Worth the price and the trip! Vegetarian options: Delicious eggplant dish, varied salads, all tasty and original Dietary restrictions: They ask about restrictions on eating the menu Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance, circulation, toilet room

Have you ever been excited to go to a restaurant because of its reputation and then have been a little disappointed? That s how I felt about Bouillon Bilk. The food is good - notably the beef carpaccio style appetizer and the cappellitti were phenomenal. While I felt like the scallops and tuna were good- they lacked a little je ne sais quoi . However, the reason for the 4 star really came down to experience. Unfortunately, no quality check was done for any of our meals and the runners were going over the dishes so quick as if really trying to get the job done as fast as possible. I will still recommend bouillon bilk - the quality of the produce is top notch and the wine selection is great!

This is my second time trying the tasting menu within a month, and it still gave me the suprised especially the appetizer. The mix and use of ingredients are great.

the food is spectacular, got the tasting menu and enjoy all the pieces

It met expectations. With my guest, we stuck to fish, trout as a starter and sea bass as the piece de resistance. Delicious. The miniardises rounded out the experience well. Its worth its price.

An exceptional dining experience, friendly staff and excellent knowledge of the menu and wine pairings. I highly recommend this restaurant both to discover new flavors but also to simply be surprised.

Business traveler from U.S., enjoyed 8 course tasting at the bar and good company with a Québécois business traveler. Memorable night!

Excellent, very careful service. The dish I chose, the red sea bass, was succulent. The very delicate taste of the fish was well accompanied by refined ingredients, with varied textures (foamy, creamy, crunchy). The only downside to the experience: the very insufficient lighting making it difficult to read the menu and see the palette of colors on the plate which is part of the pleasure of tasting

Exceptional, as always.

The best scallops in Montreal!!

Went to the restaurant for my friends bday. The service was slow (5 courses). The 1st course which was trout gravlax was delicious. The other 4 courses were very bland and lacked personality. However, the foie gras served with the duck course was 5/5. Food

wow wow wow! Favorite food, atmosphere, service

The table dhôte is really a very good deal. The quality vs the price is really great. The place is very beautiful and the service is very warm and friendly. Finally, the choice of wine is of very good quality. We will come back for sure.

This place was the most accommodating and exquisite place I visited in my week in Montréal. I will be coming back here as soon as I am able.

Too good.

Every dish was absolutely delicious, the wine pairing was spot on, and the service was fantastic!

Loved our waitress! Loved the food! Atmosphère was kind of ordinary, but nice. I took my daughter and we had a fantastic time discussing the food and laughing about life. Also loved that it was open on Sunday evening.

An extraordinary dining experience, on every level! Perhaps the best I have ever had. We had the five course tasting menu with wine pairings. Each course was highly creative, with interesting colors, textures, and flavors. . .and always incredibly delicious. We enjoyed having both the Canadian and European wine pairings. They were so very different from one another, but both complemented the food perfectly. Kudos to the sommelier, Luec, who did an amazing job! The service could not have been better. Our server, Natalia, was so welcoming and professional, which elevated our experience to an even higher level. . .truly memorable. I would return to Montreal just to dine at Bouillon Bilk!

Superb experience, succulent meal and generous portion for a tasting menu.

Excellent service, the dishes are delicious!

Even in their move they have preserved the quality of their dishes. Jean François service deserves only 3* per account Minh Doan the sommelier is impeccable 5* for his recommendations

Food

Nice place to stay 22 Rue Sainte-Catherine E, Montréal, QC H2X 1K4, Canada

Had high expectations given the fantastic reviews, but I was shocked at how bad the food was here. This was undoubtedly my worst meal in all of Montreal during my trip here and the most expensive. Service was cold and sterile. Server was not very detailed when going through the menu. When I prodded about the origin/source of some of the ingredients, our server did not seem to be interested in having that conversation, which was disappointing for a restaurant at this price point. Tried the 5-course tasting menu for dinner. Was disappointed to learn that the 8-course menu was not available for the early seating (I do not believe this was made apparent or obvious during the booking process, but it could have been my oversight), but it ended up working in our favour because each course was subpar. I ordered the non-alcoholic pairing. I am a huge fan of non-alcoholic pairings at fine-dining restaurants across the world and will usually order it when available. They are stunning when executed correctly, but this was mostly a disappointment. Kombucha was alright, but I was severely let down by the dashi drink (which was indistinguishable from instant dashi), as well as the drink paired with the squash dessert. I do have to give credit to the fact that their concoctions were made in-house, as some restaurants just serve off-the-shelf non-alcoholic drinks. Kudos to the sommelier/server serving the drinks, as they did an excellent job explaining the drinks. Onto the food flavour combinations were uninspiring to say the least. Not going to go through the entire menu but here are some notes: Ravioli with mussels, green peas and mascarpone basic and boring flavours, over seasoned with a sauce that was overly acidic. Duck with berries, pepper, almonds (supplemented with a slab of foie gras for an extra 20CAD) The protein itself was cooked well. Garnishes were substandard, however. Saving grace was the foie, which was beautiful, and the among the best I ve ever had. Zero balance to the dish however, and the addition of almonds was head-scratching. I did mention this to our server, but they merely chuckled and seemed again to be uninterested in hearing my opinion On the contrary, had a wonderful experience at their sister restaurant, Cadet. Perhaps I came here on an off night.

Exceptional!

A great restaurant, every dish will give your taste buds amazing satisfaction. tasty! Will have a great time visiting

Gourmet restaurant in the lively center of Montreal, we ate well. However, the price was very expensive, and on several occasions we said to ourselves that something was missing. Eating very little salt, the pea ravioli burned my tongue a little. In addition, the Canadian food and wine pairing really did not live up to our expectations. In good French and in my personal opinion, I cannot recommend this agreement. Cider for dessert... Ill pass next time. Finally, the waitress looking insistently at the TPE to see the tip that was going to be left, it was not very pleasant. It was a nice experience, but for 330 for two, it was extremely expensive and we left a little disappointed.

It was one of the best dining experiences of my life. The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was welcoming.

Wow !!!

Such a let down from what it used to be. If you are looking for a good bistrot experience, this is an okay choice but forget about fine dining. The service and food are casual and not very special. So sad they chose to downgrade so much what used to be a fantastic spot. It would have probably be more fair to change name when the concept was completely changed in 2024. They are benefitting from the great reviews of the former restaurant which is a bit misleading.

Extraordinary restaurant

Food did not disappoint and our server was friendly and knowledgeable. Just didn t feel the overall experience was up to the same standard we ve experienced at other similarly priced places

Excellent food , restaurant changed location due to a fire hard to find as the Apple Maps was not updated Parking: Not too hard to find paid street parking

The cod was excellent! I recommend. Right next to the Quartier des spectacles (Before a show if you want to treat yourself)

Food is amazing and service is assume. This is a must do Restaurant in Montreal.

Its like a less expensive slightly better EMP.

Came a few months ago for their seasonal tasting menu everything was amazing and service was impeccable. Scallops were some of the best Ive ever had!

Exquisite food with great services! I am glad to try it out the first time they moved to the new venue. Hands down one of the best restaurants in Montreal

I had an amazing dining experience at this restaurant! The food was exquisite and Jason was so professional and kind, with every dish perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. The ambiance was elegant yet welcoming, and the professionalism of the staff truly stood out. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and ensured that every detail was taken care of. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a top-notch culinary experience in Mtl. I will definitely be returning!

It was our first time going to a fine dining restaurant like this, and we were very happy with the service, food and atmosphere, and their attention to detail is exquisite, They were very attentive to my allergies as we couldnt order from the taste menu due to my long list of allergies, we did the a la carte and the food was delicious, I would love to go again and Highly recommend this restaurant

The best dishes in Montreal. The service is impeccable. The scallops are a must-try.

As soon as you go through the doors of the restaurant, you re greeted with a fishy smell. It smelled like this in the entire venue. Service was great but food, I would pass on this place. Overrated.

What a great experience to have eaten at Bouillon Bilk. Everything was wonderful, from the courteous, polite and friendly service to the excellence of each dish served. My husband had the ravioli and I had the scallops. It was PHENOMENAL. They even celebrated my birthday with a little chocolate and a candle. We highly recommend this place which is well worth knowing. We will definitely come back!

I ve done the 8 course meal with the wine pairing twice at this place. Each time it s been an incredibly memorable experience and a gastronomic delight. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Excellent food, drinks and service.

Top shelf restaurant with a great tasting menu, they even have a wine pairing menu for each course! Super delicious and little pricey but no complaints we had a lovely time and were full after our tasting they time the courses perfectly.

GOOD

It is one of the best restaurants I have been to in my life. The service was impecable, and our waiter and other staff were all very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. The food was out of this world, every bite bursting with flavor, and the dishes were beautifully presented. I would 100% return, and I am looking forward to my next visit.

Original and excellent

A Tantalizing Experience. Bouillon Bilk is a must for those who seek an experience like no other. If you are willing to play with different flavours and textures I would highly recommend their tasting menu. An incredible assortment of dishes, uniquely curated to highlight nothing but pure flavour. We left not only satisfied but excited to have experienced such a remarkable set of flavour combinations. We will be back.

We had a tasting menu. The dishes involve different techniques and contrasting textures. The visual presentation is worked. However, some dishes could benefit from a greater touch of acidity to balance the richness of the ingredients or sauce. In addition, some creative combinations of flavors were interesting, while others left us a bit perplexed (eg: dessert based on squash mousse). Furthermore, the homemade bread served was cold and the plates of dishes served hot were lukewarm unlike other institutions of similar reputation. However, the fact remains that the taste appreciation of any dish is very personal to each person. All in all, we could appreciate the expertise, quality and passion behind all the dishes, as well as the professionalism of the team. However, we would like to share the following observations regarding the immediate environment: The restaurant seems to have a problem with fruit flies. During the evening, we saw fruit flies on different occasions (more than five times, sometimes two at the same time), which significantly affected our experience. We would like to point out that our waitress quickly expressed our concern to her supervisor. The latter then came to our table to tell us about the steps already taken recently, the problem being known. We are absolutely understandable that this is a situation that requires longitudinal resolution time. However, from our previous experiences at other higher end restaurants, this is the very first time we have been exposed to a problem of this nature and extent. Furthermore, the space is also a bit narrow between the tables, which meant that we could hear the entire conversations of our table neighbors. Finally, if you are sensitive to the constant coming and going of pedestrians and the flashing lights of cars (e.g. police car flashing lights), we suggest that you do not sit facing the windows. In fact, they overlook the immediate street and the curtains let the shadows and lights show through. To conclude, this opinion only reflects our experience and our personal appreciation. It is intended to be informative and constructive.

All right service , and cook! Thanks

Simple decorations with attractive lights that make the place elegant and attractive. Ambience is pleasing and the service is friendly. However, it did take them quite a while to serve us our main courses after the appetisers. The food was fantastic. The presentation was gorgeous and they must have used high quality ingredients. The most formidable was the sauces. Although very little, the sauces had a strong impact and brought the meal to another level. Even if I wasnt full, I was satisfied by the taste of the food. As for the prices, they arent too expensive. 24$ for the duck appetiser, 39$ for the veal meal and 12$ for the peach dessert. In my opinion, the appetiser was good but not exceptional like the main course. The dessert ended the meal splendidly. The peach ice cream was simply incredible along with the rest of the dessert plate.

Overall this restaurant was good and the service was stellar. However, the food wasn t very memorable which you would expect it to be for this price. A good restaurant for sure but didn t blow my mind.

Bouillon Bilk was the first time I ever experience French Food. We enjoyed the 5 course meal with the 5 European wine pairing. The food was truly out of this world, I never tasted flavors like we did. Not only was the food great, the staff were amazing as well. For an upscale French Restaurant, the staff and location was warm and inviting. A must go place if youre looking to treat yourself!

My 10 year old and I really enjoyed our food here. At first my son was disappointed with a short menu, but when he finally picked a dish, he wanted to order more ))) I also absolutely loved the scallops I got.

My BFF s favor French restaurant in MTL. Been there many times, food were spectacular, highly recommend. Food

Beyond exceptional!

Very nice gastronomic experience. Very good service. Thank you for your welcome.

Gorgeous upscale atmosphere, excellent service, with delicate and exquisite food. Very fancy!

Finally got to try their 8 courses tasting menu and loved every part of the experience! Service was top notch, absolutely nothing to complain about - thank you Isabelle. My nut allergy was well accommodated. Food was not only visually pleasing but delicious. The ingredients tasted fresh. My favorite was the cappelletti and my husband s was the lamb tartare. They also took into consideration my note and added a candle for my husband s birthday. Very thoughtful. Would recommend this experience to everyone. A must for locals and tourists.

Delicious meal, professional and friendly sommelier, waiter (Florian) at the top!

Just sublime. A perfect balance of flavors and the cooking is perfect. The scallops are a must. The duck is delicious. Finally, Im already booking for my daughter. Well done

Hair found in my dish!!!

Environment that exploits people for days without payment for trial periods thus taking advantage of their services in the indoor premises. It doesnt do me any good to pay for my parts from a worker like this one.

Exquisite

This is an excellent restaurant. I highly recommend it. Here are my personal impressions for your reference: As soon as you enter, the front desk efficiently and courteously greets and seats you. The waitstaff promptly arrives to introduce the dishes in detail and helps indecisive guests choose their meals. Each dish is briefly introduced when served. Every dish is exceptionally delicious and meticulously prepared, and its evident they strive to ensure the temperature of the food is just right. This is quite impressive. The waitstaff seem to have a sixth sense they can anticipate your needs when you look up or stand up and immediately offer assistance, even without needing to make eye contact. This left a strong impression on me! At the same time, you dont have to worry about the staff being overly enthusiastic and interrupting your conversation. They generally remain in a quiet standby mode, closely observing the guests movements. Overall, this is an excellent restaurant with delicious food and an enjoyable dining experience. I give it five stars!

We had a great meal here! And the service was fantastic. 7-18

My son invited me for Mothers Day for the 8-course tasting, it was extraordinary, so good, impeccable service, its definitely my favorite restaurant, the only downside is the lights are too dim, you cant see the colors well on the plate.

Unique experience. Rich, flavourful dishes with high culinary craftsmanship. Definitely recommend for a special night.

My visit was in June 2019. Soup was too salty.

Just divine. Immediately in the top 3 of my restaurants of my entire life, whether in terms of service, wines, food, atmosphere, price, Bouillon Bilk is just perfect. Each bite is an explosion of taste and originality. This is without a doubt the restaurant that I recommend the most in Montreal.

Perfect in every way, or almost.

By far the best restaurant in Montreal in my opinion! Every time, I am never disappointed! 10/10

What a great experience! Everything was succulent, ranging from more delicate dishes (veal tartare and crab with daikon) to richer dishes (cappelletti and strip steak). The textures and flavors of the dishes pair wonderfully with the European wine pairing. First Polish Riesling and German Pinot Noir for me; great successes Magnificent Rioja for the beef and Meursault for the pasta. What can we say about Sauternes for dessert... top. The service was on point and the atmosphere was lovely. Truly a lovely evening overall. One of the beautiful tables in Montreal in my humble amateur opinion.

Food was good but I had the worst service from a male server there. I ordered 8 courses and my friend ordered 5 courses which did not have the course trout. A female server accidentally served the trout to my friend but she reacted nicely and offered to serve me a new trout. She was really nice and we were really satisfied with her service. Just when we thought everything was settled, a male serve came and blamed the mistake on my friend, implying my friend ate the dish that s out of her courses. He even tried to avoid the compensation and asked me if I m happy with what my friend did. I was really disappointed with his attitude since he refused to compensate for the mistake and it s none of me and my friend s fault. My friend ended up replacing her main course with the trout which was not worth the price of the main course. Won t come to this restaurant again and won t recommend my friends to come.

This was the first restaurant I went with my friend in mtl but it s very frustrating :( Both lady servers were very nice, but the male server was weirdly rude. I ordered the 5-course and my friend ordered the 8-course. When it came to my fourth dish, they got it wrong and gave me the one which was supposed for my friend (it s trout and sorry that I didn t recognize it wasn t my dish). One lady server immediately said it shouldn t be a problem, but here s what the male server said to me friend : Are you happy with your friend who had your dish? Then he quickly turned over me: Did you ate the trout? . There s more but it all felt like trying to throw the responsibility over me. Because of all these, I voluntarily changed my original main course to the trout I had. And is it because we re Asian so NO ONE EVEN APOLOGIZED until we left the restaurant :(((

I had a very pleasant surprise after visiting this cozy restaurant with my fiancee for our anniversary. We took the tasting menu with 8 services and we were blown away by the quality of the food. Everything was flavourful and well cooked. Highly recommended!

We had the 8-course tasting menu with European wine pairing. Every dish was excellent. Nothing to complain about in terms of service. One of the best restaurants in Montreal!

Like almost all the other reviews here say, this place is fantastic. The tasting menu was amazing and the bottle of wine the sommelier helped us pick went well with everything. The restaurant is elegant, and all the staff are very friendly and professional.

This place is simply amazing. The food is creative and delicious. The service is attentive and friendly. The vibe is casual and cozy. The highlight of my meal was the foie gras dessert. Yeah, it sounds kind of wrong but tastes extremely right. Almost like a banana foster with duck liver instead of ton of butter. Wine list is impressive as well. They serve dyquem for dessert if someone is willing to drop major bucks.

I had ordered the 5 course tasting menu + non-alcoholic pairing. The food was in general good. Starting with a small basket of bread and butter, and then came a variety of flavours such as crab, veal tartar, pasta, beef, finishing off with a chocolate dessert. The non-alcoholic pairing was a nice surprise, and the pairings ended up quite interesting from a mocktail, to dashi, to a smoky kombucha. The service was good as well, the servers explained the menu very well, and were very quick about cleaning up the table and preparing you for the next course. The reason I give this a 4 star instead of 5 star is that for the price of the meal at about 200 dollars per person (5 course + drink pairing) I do have an expectation that itd be not just a very good experience but a great and/or excellent experience. A couple of things stood out to me in this regard. The starter bread came with butter, however the butter was still quite cold (and perhaps a little frozen). And when the butter is that cold, you end up destroying the bread as you attempt to spread it as I did last night. Plus you cant get an even a spread. That was a bit of a disappointing start. I found the cappelletti to be quite salty. When you have a dish like this, and try to get a little bit of everything in one bit such as the cream sauce, the bacon bits, the taste felt just salty (with a hint of richness from the sauce). A minor thing, but I noticed there was a coat check. Im not sure if its offered to everyone but did notice some people use it as the service staff had retrieved it for them. I think if coat check if available, then it should be offered to anyone who has one. It wasnt a big deal as I just put my coat on my chair, no big deal. But one of those things where itd be a +1pt for service if it was offered. Overall, I liked the food, it was good. The service was friendly and fairly fast. But for the price point, I really wanted it to be and expected it to be really great (and I think its almost there!). Even so, Id recommend people to check this place out.

The best French restaurant in Canada!

My husband and I traveled to Montreal for our honeymoon and had the pleasure of dining at Bouillon Bilk. We had an incredible dining experience! The service was fantastic. Our waiter was very helpful and had a great personality. We had a oysters, scallops and the duck. The food was truly some of the best weve ever had. I am still dreaming about my scallops. We highly recommend this restaurant and hope to be back someday!

Excellent service and main course choices. In fact, the entire menu is splendid!

Nice place for a prix fixe tasting menu. We ordered additionally a dozen oysters and it added to the experience. This area was hard to find parking so I would suggest coming 15 minutes early.

Wonderful evening, great food and ambience.

The 5 courses menu and wine was delicious. We really enjoyed the experience Food

everything was perfect, Eric served us well and so did the support team, smiling MD, professional sommelier.

Amazing food!!

I was expecting a lot more from this restaurant. I had the 5 course tasting menu. It started off okay. I was amazed with the ravioli just wow! Unfortunately, that momentum didn t cary through. The main was good, but the portion was too small and it didn t feel properly balanced. The dessert was extremely disappointing. The ganache tasted like melted chocolate ice cream and the crème anglaise tasted like plain cream. The service was very good. They were kind and attentive. I don t think I would go there again.

I m trying to be nice,but this was one of the worst fine dining restaurants I ve ever been to, and certainly my most terrible experience in Montreal. Got the tasting menu, and the food was quite overrated to be honest. The only highlight was the ravioli, dessert and the starter, chocolate and bass, were just slightly better than edible, at most an average level. The veal and beef were just disaster, that combination of veal reminded me of some Japanese street food, like those bento with tempura, but certainly not the delicious aspect of it. The beef I don t know how they came up with that combination, which was way too salty and I even tasted tendon in the steak. There s no timely connection between dishes, and waiting was just a norm. For service, they didn t really care about your feedback, even if you explicitly show your dissatisfaction. Wouldn t take it personal, it s just very unprofessional despite its price level.

Our most delicious dinner in Montreal. I am surprised that this place is not in the Michelin guide at least, since the serving dishes, taste and service are at a high level. And this is at relatively inexpensive prices. Scallops with shiitake, beef with snails and veal tartare were super delicious. I was just ready to lick the plates. I tried out the 5 course menu for 105 CAD and it was amazing amount of food! Unfortunately, I forgot the name of the waitress, but thank her so much for a wonderful evening.

Very tasty dishes. Very busy for lunch hence a long wait for food. Noisy.

Food was so delicious! They offer a very flexible lunchtime tasting menu (you just pay the difference). The vegetarian options were wonderful. Service was excellent. Highly recommend a visit for anyone in Montreal.

Currently, My favourite restaurant

The food here is simply astounding. Clean pure flavors that are perfectly balanced in elegant execution. A MUST-dine experience.

Food and service very good. on the other hand the framework is much too simplistic and cold. Very little decoration. a lot of noise.

Excellent restaurant! Impeccable, friendly and courteous service! Succulent scallops! Exceptional cod! Good wine! Delicious desserts! A celebration for the palace! We hope to return...

Incredible experience I asked for a 5 course vegetarian meal that was unlisted but probably one of the best meals I ve ever had. They were very accommodating.

Scallops

Lovely 5 course tasting menu. Beef finisher was fantastic. Wine pairings were good as well

Tasting menu (5 courses) was amazing and just the right portion. Every course was extraordinary and delicious. Food : 5/5

Perfect from start to finish!

If I were to choose one restaurant to recommend anyone in all of Eastern Canada, it would be here! Definitely go with the 8 course tasting menu

We had the tasting menu with Canadian and European wine pairings. Each of the five courses was uniquely tasty and well balanced. Wines enhance the flavors of meals. The service was impeccable, with special mention to the sommelier who was very friendly. Nice atmosphere.

We had a great time with another couple! 3 services dinner was extremely delicious, for sure well come back.

Almost perfect, all the way.

This evening was absolutely impeccable. For my birthday, my husband and I both took the 5 service menu paired with the European wines. Each meal and detail was perfectly balanced and thought out. I was not a fan or all the wines but they were all intelligently matched. One I could not drink and they immediately changed it even if I had said it was not an issue. They also adapted the menu to fit the fact that I cannot eat red meat. The sommelière Isabelle was fantastic and so were every staff member we interacted with. What an amazing experience and we will be back! Dietary restrictions: I do not eat red meat or beets and they made sure I could enjoy the tasting menu by replacing the two meat meals with absolutely delicious fish meals. I felt like I was being difficult and they all made me feel so very comfortable.

Delicious! We tried the 5-course menu. Favorite for the squash ravioli. And the wine pairing was perfect!

Delicious from A to Z! We had a 5-course tasting menu. Everything was perfect. Our server was attentive. Superb restaurant.

Dont be fooled by the exterior appearance, this restaurant is in my opinion one of the best gourmet restaurants I have experienced. We took the discovery menu with wine pairing and we are all of the same opinion, hats off to the chef!!!!! An experience that we will happily do again without hesitation. Another big thank you to the whole team for this great experience! I highly recommend it!

Simply incroyable !! Found this restaurant specifically for my visit to Montreal and I am so glad I did! Beautiful artistry in the dishes and the wine pairings are to die for. Wish I had taken a picture of each and every one because I WILL be searching for them. The servers were so kind and accommodating and they incorporated all our wishes into the tasting menu. Cuisine wise, yes, I did feel transported to France. Can t recommend this place enough!

An impeccable restaurant with excellent service. Thank you to the entire team for this extraordinary culinary experience.

I rarely write reviews, but after last nights dinner I feel compelled to share my incredible experience. I was blown away by the precision of the wine pairing with the set menu, I highly the Canadian wines option. My highlight was the bass crudo and green apple consommé, paired with Quebec chardonnay/seyval from Les Pervenches winery. My compliments to the chef and each member of the staff that made our night memorable.

Its just very good. Service is very professional. Good wine list. Can be abit pricey, so heads up. I always come here when Im in Montréal. Lunch and dinner menus are great. They serve French foods, having a la carte and prix fix. Good for special occasion or any occasion. Kid-friendliness: Not a place for kids

Excellent lunch table with a wide selection and it was very appreciated to replace the main course offered at the table dhôte with another of my choice. Thank you for the candle added to the dessert to mark the birthday of one of the guests. Among the good restaurants in Montreal we will certainly return there.

Amazing restaurant !! Food is spectacular and service is pretty good as well. Not cheap , but worth it.

The best dinner of my stay in Montreal, for sure above expectations in every sense.The elegant and minimal decor is perfectly set, the staff extremely professional and kind and the quality of food excellent. The very positive element is that theres a tasting menu and not necessarily it needs to be ordered by the entire table, the other people can also go à la carte. In our case we both chose the 5 courses menu (105 cad) and having one of them with just vegetarian options wasnt a problem for them. Our waitress Isabelle was really good at her job and accompanied us professionally for the entire dinner. We took a bottle of Tempranillo Inniskillin from British Columbia at 75 cad which we appreciated. The quality of the dish was incredible and this place would deserve the Michelin star for sure.

The best that Montreal has to offer! If the Michelin guide made its way to Canada, Bouillon Bilk will no doubt get three Michelin stars (the highest possible ranking). This restaurant is my husband and Is top choice when it comes to date night, business dinners or just catching up with friends. Our wallets are grateful that we dont live right next door, otherwise we would be going there everyday... The fact that they use fresh seasonal ingredients and change their menu often makes us always longing to go back! Also, their homemade sourdough bread is to die for...

When everything is perfect there is nothing more to say thank you for this beautiful evening

Great experience at Bouillon Bill. Starting with the maître D, the waiter Florian, the sommelier and the service all were exceptional. The food was outstanding . The vegetarian options were excellent. For us, the best restaurant in Montreal. We have been coming here for 12 years, never disappointed.

Excellent cuisine experience. The deep and delicacy of flavors, textures, and presentation of each dish is really impressive.

Amazing food, service and people! I recommend for any special occasions. The wines pairing is excellent and the staff is knowledgable and friendly.

Amazing dining experience. We opted for the 8-course tasting menu (with meatless option for 2 of us) and everything was perfect! In photo, my 2 favorites, trout and ravioli. Service just as good as the dishes, and a beautiful cocktail and wine list.

Excellent! I recommend for a romantic outing or with foodie friends.

I loved my experience at Bouillon Bilk, from the welcome to the service, everything was attentive. The food was excellent, I preferred the ravioli out of all the dishes I chose. I chose the pavlova for dessert, it was delicious and very fresh. I was celebrating a birthday and they came with dessert with a candle.

If ur looking for quality food! This is it! Insane!

Very good restaurant. Our new experience confirmed the previous ones: refined, original, complex flavors. I tried the non-alcoholic pairing. Im very happy with it. The service is impeccable, even if we were made to understand that the sommelier was not expected to respond to requests for explanations on the methods of dealcoholization of wines. The atmosphere was quite calm, no blaring music. Be careful, the name bouillon should not be understood in the French way. Indeed prices are high in the evening. Vegetarian options: I recommend the eggplant dish!

Stylish, intimate, environment in a central location (I was surprised that I had never noticed it before). Attentive, informative service. Tasty, interesting food (highlights include the seared trout, butternut squash ravioli and roasted beef). Very intriguing non-alcoholic beverage pairings! Ridiculously small portions for the dishes (even for a French-inspired restaurant)...

Excellent !!

Tried out the 5 course tasting menu for 105$. The service and the food were top notch. My favourite dish of the night was the stripped bass dish. It was so fresh with the apple and shiso. The apple consume was so tasty and complimented the fish so well!!! The squash ravioli was also yummy! The brown butter sauce complimented the squash filling. The beef dish and dessert was also very well executed. I can tell that each dish was well thought out and meticulously prepared. Would definitely come back again!!

Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating, allergy sufferers dont lose out.

Ive been a loyal customer of this restaurant for 7 years, always loving their food and trusting the chefs skills and presentation. However, yesterday when I went for lunch with friends, the bill for three people was $235, with a $35 tax. I left a tip of almost 13%, totaling $300 in cash. The server came over and said it wasnt enough, showing me on the card machine that I should leave a minimum of 15% tip, making me add an additional $10 in front of my friends. Im really curious: 1. Is it mandatory to leave a tip of 15% or more, otherwise you cant leave? 2. Do we have to tip 15% even on the tax? I really dislike the current attitude of some servers, it made my dining experience very unpleasant.
