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.
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.
Très bonne brasserie ou l'on peut manger & boire un verre avant la zone internationale de l'aéroport. Malgré le monde, tout est parfaitement bien gérer & la fil d'attente passe vite.

Truly a nice surprise. I've gone a couple of time & the food is great, the staff is really nice & prices are reasonable for an airport restaurant. Even the atmosphere is great (close to forget you're at the airport). Definitely a nice break before jumping in a plane.
The food was very tasty. Initially, I ordered the calamari, but the portion received was very small, & when I enquired of my server, she went & got me a freshly prepared replacement. They will always do their best to make you feel welcome. A fantastic spot to chill & eat while you await your flight.
