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.
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!
J'ai déjà mangé pour le souper un hamburger il était très bon. Nous avons donc décidé de déjeuner & j'ai été très déçu très cher, & nous étions quatre. Personne a raffolé.
Impeccable! Pour passer le temps avec un bon repas entre deux vols, c'est l'endroit idéal! On y mange bien, un accueil professionnel, un service chaleureux, bref 5/5
As always, I'm keeping my hopes down when it comes to airport dining. It usually'does the job' without being an excellent experience. Well, I was surprised with the Archibald. The staff let me know there was some wait for the food andade sure I had enough time. The service was super charming (thanks barman Mike!) & the food was excellent. On top of that, the food arrived really quickly.
Staffs amazing here. Best airport bar ive ever been to. Service was incredible & so was the beer. Some lady whined that her smoked meat sandwhich mustard was too spicy & they gave her another without mustard. No fuss. Incredible because this lady was in the wrong!

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..

La bière est excellente, 2 c'est mieux pour faire passer la pizza & la facture trop salée !!! Entrée avec 3 morceaux de fromage au prix de 4! , ils ont ajusté la facture mais pas le menu.., plus difficile à partager quand il y en a 25% de moins !, la pâte de pizza est aussi savoureuse qu'un fond de boîte de carton… un pita sec serait moins pire , aucune croûte & , le chef ne prend pas la peine de distribuer les condiments, & donc le fromage toute d'un bord , & sa porte le nom du resto…
