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.
Un service impeccable & un accueil très pro ! C'est l'endroit idéal pour déguster une bonne poutine avant de décoller. Cependant, les tarifs restent élevés, même pour un contexte aéroportuaire. On paie le prix fort, mais la qualité du service & du plat rattrapent l'addition.
Super bon restaurant, une tradition lorsque je vais a l'aéroport. Mon seul point négatif c'est que le menus déjeuner arrête a 11h00.... J'aimerais tellement que la poutine déjeuner sois dans leur menus réguliers. Merci 😅
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 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!!

On a dîné chez Archibald en attendant notre vol. Excellent service ! La nourriture était très bonne ainsi que la bière!!! La poutine à l'effiloché de boeuf était délicieuse! Le restaurant demande que nous ayons 40 minutes au moins, avant l'embarquement, ainsi, il n'y a pas de stress pour personne!
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 🍻.
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.

The one redeeming feature of my journey, in which Air Canada failed to make their own connection & robbed me of a night's sleep in the process, was the pint & poutine I had at this restaurant. Super friendly barman too
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.

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
This was quite possibly the saddest smoked meat sandwich I've ever had in Montreal. The bread was supermarket mass-produced light rye. The meat was actually sliced pastrami, also from the supermarket. The coleslaw? Bagged coleslaw mix from the supermarket. The fries? Frozen McCain fries from the supermarket. I will try to say something nice. The fries weren't greasy, & the beer was excellent. We ordered a glass of the bock. My kid's fish & chips was also lacklustre. But the poutine looked & tasted pretty good. Just don't get the Montreal smoked meat here ever.
