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.
Food was so fast & it was actually delicious. Our server Marco was great, he was so friendly & funny , making us & the tables around us laugh , having conversations & still fast & efficient. Glad we stopped in!
I personally found this place a bit overpriced for what they offer but I guess it is the price the travellers pay while sitting at the gate. $24 for Montreal smoked meat sandwiches. $24 for smoked meat poutine. $11 for a small pint. I also found the service quite slow. The food came out fast but I had to wait for a while to get my bill paid. I had time to spare for my next flight but it would have been frustrated otherwise. The atmosphere was good.

The food was amazing, just in front of our gate. The employee Maxim was soo friendly & kind & his presence made the whole experience & ambience better.
Stopped in for breakfast while waiting on a flight, nice place showing some wear & tear, the leather on our banquet was torn. The BLT sandwich was fantastic. Smoothie was good . It's a busy place so bit of a wait.

Rise & shine☀️ Airport breakfast review: 2 eggs, 2 sausages, a mountain of potatoes & a single toast for $18. Coffee not included. Food passable but definitely overpriced. It is what it is.
Très bonne option avant de prendre votre vol, Archibald livre à Dorval une belle sélection de bières combinée à du bon finger food. On a opté pour un trio de nachos, tacos & ailes de poulet sans les accompagnements. Les nachos étaient bien gratinés de fromage, pas cheap, bonne sauce tomate aussi. Les ailes, plus conventionnelles, n'avaient rien de spécial mais la sauce Ranch relevait le plat. De loin, les tacos aux crevettes sont votre meilleure option sur le menu : goûteux, généreux & ingrédients recherchés, ça été le meilleur joueur du premier trio. Accompagné de 5 bières, le total s'est élevé à $140 avec taxes & service pour 2 personnes. Trop cher pour tout ça mais vous êtes à l'aéroport. Dans toutes les options à l'aéroport, probablement une des meilleures malgré les prix ridicules. Service efficace, rapide & attentionné, notre serveuse était sur la coche & bien meilleure que la moyenne (Cybèle). Recommandé.
As airport food goes, this was some of the best I've had in a long time! Most places rush you through, but they immediately qualified - we're busy (they were packed), do you have enough time. I appreciate the thoughtful questions, & given the quality of food, I'm wondering if it was because they also like to make good food properly. They certainly did! The salmon eggs benedict was perfect! Changing the side to fruit for $5 seems a bit ridiculous & overkill. But the service & food were great.
Parfois un peu chaotique à cause des nombreux clients, mais le service est efficace & les repas style "pub" généralement bien présentés & bons. Bières de qualité.
Toujours bons services, ambiance au bar vivante, le personnel est hyper sympathique ! C'est ma tradition avant chacun de mes voyages ! La bière est excellente & le prix, pour être à l'aéroport, est très bon.
Un bon endroit pour manger en attendant son vol. La poutine est OK pour un aéroport, le service est speed mais correct & les prix sont un peu chers mais c'est correct pour un aéroport.
