The Archibald microbrewery is delicious panini platters, whisky BBQ chicken wings and hearty breakfasts. It’s also “hunter’s platters” that will satisfy even the most voracious appetites. But above all, Archibald is some ten artisanal brews that are out of this world: La Matante, La Joufflue, La Brise du lac, La Ciboire, La Choute, La Tite’Kriss, La Weiss and more! It’s a date!
Reviewers describe Archibald Microbrasserie as a reliable airport spot for pre flight meals with good food and fast, friendly service, a warm chalet like atmosphere, and solid beer options alongside crowd pleasing classics like poutine and smoked meat dishes; many praise quick seating and attentive staff, though a number note airport prices are high and some dishes or portions can be smaller or served a touch cold, with occasional slower moments or a busy rush at peak times; overall it is frequently recommended as a dependable choice before travel and a pleasant place to relax before boarding.
In an age of really excellent burgers this was one of the worst burgers I have had in a while. In all honesty a McDonald's burger is better. I ordered their Archibald burger. It came out fairly quickly but the patty was barely warm, the cold cheese sitting on top, not melted at all. The bacon was also cold. I'd guess the patties & bacon are cooked in advance & just heated up (barely). The burger patty was dry. In addition it was served with chips that were overcooked & very brown yet soggy & like, the burger, not hot. A major disappointment for $26.
très bon bar employés chaleureux & ambiance agréable les prix sont un peu chère comparé a un bar en ville mais c'est probablement dû au frais de douane & de toute façon c'est le moins chère dans l'aéroport donc on se plaint pas
This place is a breath of fresh air & definitely breaks the stereotype of bad airport food options. Especially appreciated the incredibly friendly service from the folks at the bar, & the goat cheese burger & cocktail I had could hold its own anywhere. Highly recommend stopping here the next time you're going through YUL - I know I will be.
Franchement, super belle expérience au Archibald de l'aéroport avec mes deux enfants! Notre serveur était vraiment drôle & attentionné. Ma fille avait son masque d'apnée, & il a commencé à niaiser avec elle en lui disant que si elle le gardait tout le long du repas, son lunch serait gratuit.
On a tous embarqué dans le jeu, ma fille était crampée & fière d'elle, & honnêtement ça a rendu le moment vraiment spécial pour nous. Le serveur a tenu parole en plus, ce qui a fait encore plus plaisir!
Ça fait du bien de voir du personnel qui met de l'ambiance & qui prend le temps de créer des petits moments comme ça. On a adoré! C'est sûr qu'on va revenir, & on aimerait vraiment être servis par Elsaco (si c'est bien son prénom)! & si je ne me trompe pas, le serveur s'appelait Nico - merci encore pour ce beau moment!
A little let down. Had a layover in Montreal & of course I am going to eat a Montreal smoked meat sandwich. Would have been better off eating one on the plane or at any Costco... Poutine & beer were good.
Had a couple hours lay over & decided to catch the Blue Jays home opener at Archibalds. First time there. We shared a plate of shredded beef nachos. Probably the best nachos we have had, ever. Yup I was surprised too. Loaded with veggies, cheese, queso fresco, it was lovely
Excellent service de la part de Sophie V.! 27-3-2026
Service super rapide en plus d'être très courtoise, de bonne humeur & très acceuillante! Merci à cette charmante femme de nous avoir fait bien commencer nos vacances! Les deux mimosas & le cappucino étaient excellents tout comme les plats que nous avons commandé! 🤩👌🏻 Merci Sophie!!!
