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 as a reliable go to spot at the Montreal airport for both breakfast and light meals, with many noting fast, friendly service and a warm chalet like atmosphere. The food is generally solid and often praised for flavor and generous portions, with standout items including smoked meat sandwich, poutine, burgers, and a salmon salad, and onsite beer from the brewery. Several say the prices are high but understandable for airport dining, and portions can be uneven with some dishes feeling light or the fries cold. Service is frequently described as attentive, efficient, and cheerful, though a few experiences report slow or less courteous service and one reviewer noted issues with getting a table or timing before boarding. Reviewers also appreciate the openness for dietary needs with gluten free options and careful handling to avoid allergens. Overall Archibald is seen as one of the better airport dining options in Montreal, a reliable stop before a flight, with a lively atmosphere and consistently good drinks.
Airport dining is never amazing, but this was particularly bad. A basic burger that arrived cold in the middle & tasted like it was reheated poorly. It's obvious they don't prioritize quality because there's always a line of travelers with no alternatives. Honestly felt taken advantage of. Other passengers: lower your expectations or eat before security.'
Had a connecting flight through Montreal today. The food & service at the airport location is second to none. I will never be bummed out having to catch a connecting flight in Montreal ever again!! Burger was amazing. Salad & dressing was exquisite & the beef poutine didn't stand a chance.
Really 5 ⭐ service, very friendly & funny, especially for an airport! Had a classic Archibald Burger with upgraded Poutine Fries & the west coast IPA, perfect match 🫶
Thank you Archibald Team!!
Leckere burger, wenn auch Verhältnismäßig etwas teuer. Es dauerte ein wenig bis zur Bezahlung, was gerade am Flughafen problematisch werden könnte, war aber noch alles im Rahmen.
Das Ambiente ist nett eingerichtet. Auf den Fernsehern läuft Sport.

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 🍻.
Si vous partez de Montréal, faites un détour par ici. En étant seul ou à 2, demandez à manger au bar : j'ai eu la chance d'être servi par Mike qui était vraiment au top !
Le Combo bière - Burger Archibald - Brownie fut un excellent choix ! Je recommande !
C'est un poil cher mais raisonnable dans un aéroport..
I was served by Christian & I asked if the buns had eggs because I have an egg allergy. He informed me that the buns say'may contain eggs' which is something I never worry about so I ordered the burger. He then came back to let me know that the new buns actually contain eggs, so I ordered the burger with lettuce. It was very nice of him to double check, & he even had the manager bring me my food & tell me it was all safe to eat.
They went above & beyond to make sure my meal was safe to eat, which is more than almost every restaurant does.
We had the Goat cheese burger & the Archibald flank steak.
The burger was good. Tasty & good portion size. Fries were not crispy.
The Archibald steak was good but definitely not 8oz as advertised, size was really small. Also tomatoes on the size salad were rotten. I don't recommend this dish for $41!
Service was efficient & fast & the restaurant has a nice atmosphere with good looking decor.
Archibald's offers a perfect pit stop-quick service that fits your flight schedule, paired with a laid-back vibe to ease travel stress. We stopped in this place to grab a bite to eat. They made sure we had at least 40 minutes to dine before seating us for service. Jessica was our waitress, knowledgeable about the robust menu, & attentive. The food arrived in about 10 minutes. If you are looking to just try poutine, it was decent & comforting, but not anything to rant about. Beefy, bacon-filled burgers seem to be the fail-safe option. I enjoyed the juicy brew, which is passion fruit & other light flavors that paired well with the poutine. Archibald's is a great choice for a quick & satisfying meal before your flight-definitely worth a stop.

Un vrai restaurant dans l'aéroport! Un sandwich BLT très bon, un burger savoureux, un brownieavec sandwich crème glacée : un délice. Ça fait plaisir. ;-)
Decent burger for an airport restaurant. Food came fast, hot & fresh. Service was ok. My server was rather short with their attitude & seemed to check on the other tables more than mine.
We are here waiting for a flight. Had the Archibald burger & it was an ok burger but expensive for what you get. The patty was super thin & for the price they charge, there should have been 2 patties or a thicker one. No value here. Taste was ok but the burger itself wasn't even hot. I would say to skip this place. Better yet, bring your own snacks as the concessions at the airport just don't deliver. The good part is the service was excellent
Breakfast poutine is delicious at okay price for airport But the archibald burger has no taste to it, fade patty & condiments, at an exhorbiting price for flat beer , it feel they went dry in 58$ for 1 pint & burger ouch
The burger was cold & the sauces had nothing to do with what's in the description, they mixed some new fries with old fries in the place & the salad seemed like it was sitting there since yesterday! Very disappointed
