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.
For an airport restaurant it's affordable when even mcdoh & time prices are in the $10 range. Decent pub style food & good beer along with great service
Its just too expensive. I know its an airport & they always jack the prices up but the prices there are ridiculous. 24$ for a poutine, 17$ for a pint of beer. Anywhere else & they'd but shut in a week, no one would go there for that price

Oh my god. You expect to get gouged a bit at the airport. But $15 for a beer? The pizza was ok but there's no amount of quality or service that justifies the cost.
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.
Staffs amazing here. Best airport bar ive ever been to. Service was incredible & so was the beer. Some lady whined that her smoked meat sandwhich mustard was too spicy & they gave her another without mustard. No fuss. Incredible because this lady was in the wrong!
I'm not a big fan of the pizza here as I don't really enjoy the dough, though it's still okay 🙂. The burger is fairly standard but definitely better than the pizza. That said, this place has been my regular travel stop from the very beginning, & I always come back. Pairing it with poutine & a beer never disappoints 🍻.
Stopped by to get a bite to eat (& a drink). I ended up having the Smoked Meat sandwich & my wife had a Shepherd's Pie (with shredded roast beef ... nice bonus touch).
The waiter, Mike R., provided excellent service, proposed an excellent choice of beer.
So if you plan ahead stop by, relax & enjoy a meal & drink.
Perfect pre-flight stop!
Grabbed a bite at Archibald before my flight & was seriously impressed. I was there with my wife & kids. The smoked meat sandwich & poutine were amazing, & the local beer was a nice bonus. My server, Elsaco, was awesome - they explained their name is a combo of two people, & you could tell they made a great team. One was more serious, the other more funny - perfect balance! Super friendly service without feeling rushed. Definitely coming back next time I'm at YUL.

I had the prosciutto pizza & a lager beer for dinner & unfortunately the meal was not great. The pizza was too salty, with too much cheese & prosciutto & the beer was overpriced at $14 dollars for 20oz pint. The service was great & attentive but sadly the meal was a bit disappointing. Overall my meal was over ~$50 including tip for myself.
Situated conveniently in the airport. Food quality was typical bar food. Pricey for small portions. Super busy, long line up. Wide assortment of food & beer for all ages & interest. Enjoyed the visit. Staff looked overworked & short handed, but still got the job done all things considered. Was here for a stopover.
