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.
Had a great dinner pre flight. Got there early & Jose took care of me. He brought out the food at the right place for the time I had, made my meal experience enjoyable & not rushed. The food was delicious, highly recommend the burrata. Safe travels!
L'expérience culinaire était excellente & les serveurs étaient très advenant & efficaces, d'un point de vue personnel j'ai trouvé l'ambiance très agréable en particulier la liste de lecture de musique. En bref, je le recommande pour ceux qui n'ont pas forcément d'idée où dîner à l'aéroport.

L'endroit parfait pour attendre son vol tout en dégustant une bonne bière Archibald & un bon en cas pour calmer l'appétit. Service agréable, notre serveuse très affable. Je recommande.
A gem of a restaurant inside of the YUL airport. Lots of options, great ambience, & excellent service. I am a bit of a superfan for breakfasts, & I would give this place a solid 4.2 on the food, but full marks for service & vibes especially because it's inside of an airport. Would definitely recommend this as your main spot for a dining experience at YUL!
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..

Service à l'aéroport pas terrible, pas très courtois, rapide oui par contre, ne demande jamais si tout y est! Applications pour les points Archibald ne fonctionne pas ! Bref je vous recommande d'aller ailleurs !
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.
Excellent service de la part de Jose! Sangria Archibald est juste WOW, fruité mais assez alcoolisé, les nachos en entrée proposé par le serveur étaient chaud & excellent. Que dire des tacos de crevettes... parfaitement assaisonnées. Mon conjoint a pris la Juicy IPA, je cite : « INCROYABLE, FANTASTIQUE, MIAM » BREF, c'est plus qu'un stop, c'est une expérience!!! Je recommande à 100%
Nous y avons souper en attendant notre vol de correspondance. Les employés sont super sympathiques & très serviables. Le service est très rapide & la nourriture est excellente. Je recommande cet endroit.
Archibald has become a must for my pre-flight meals when going to Europe. Today was a classic example of their amazing service. I sat down quickly after arriving, didn't need the menu as I already knew what I wanted to eat. In the time I got my charger out of my backpack, Elsa, my table's waitress, came to see me. I gave her my order & asked if I could pay before getting the order. She came back with the bill 2 minutes after, & ~5 minutes after that I had my plate in front of me, with the condiments & drink I had requested. So, in less than 10 minutes from arriving, I had my food in front of me & the bill was taken care of. Then, I calmly enjoyed my food, & left around 30 minutes after arriving. During that time, Elsa came back to ask how everything was & kept tabs on my table. The service was genuine, as it was great before & after having paid the bill early, no matter if I had already given the tip. By the way, their Archibald Burger is awesome, & very fairly priced for the quality given we're at an airport. Definitely recommend; I'll definitely keep coming! Thanks Elsa for the great service!
Great place in the Montreal airport. I've been here a couple of times during layovers. Good food & drinks - served relatively fast as well, which is great since most people don't have a lengthy stay in this area. (wait staff also ask you to confirm your boarding time isn't less than 45 minutes prior to seating you). Would recommend & go back again.
