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.
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.

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.
