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.
Toujours le fun de dejeuner a cet endroit. Une fois assis les vacances commence. On a ete servi par le gerant. Assietes genereuse. La place etait bondee. Service rapide. En plus ma gate de depart etait juste en face.
Really poor uncommunicative service. Ive been here three times, & each time, I've been unable to order anything. Despite sitting down & immediately informing my server that I am ready to order, they will tell me they'll be back in'two minutes' to take my order. They then proceed to ignore me & occasionally say'I'll be right back' until 20 minutes have gone by & I gave up & left.
L'autre jour, en revenant du Portugal, nous avions une longue période d'attente. Nous avons décidé d'aller attendre en mangeant quelques entrées. Ma douce moitié m'a suggéré quelques plats & je n'ai pas vraiment regardé le menu. Sauf qu'à la réception de la facture, j'ai fait un saut. Elle était bien trop élevé pour ce que nous avons reçu comme nourriture.
Un plat d'oignons français à 20$ alors qu'il n'y avait qu'environ 10 rondelles. Un plat d'humus servi sans biscotte.
Quand j'ai fait mon évaluation, sur le prix, avec une certaine arrogance, on m'a répondu que les montants figuraient au menu… De plus, malgré que mon évaluation était rédigée en français, l'arrogant de service m'a répondu en anglais.
De un, vous devriez revoir certains de vos plats & les portions.

Our usual go to place when flying domestic & international, whether for breakfast or supper. But, what prompted me to write a review was the help provided by one of the staff members.
We had accidently left something behind & only realized it once we had passed the checkpoint for international departures. Once through there, you are unable to return. However, with their help, we were able to get our belongings back before boarding our flight! So very much appreciated!
Stopped by to get a bite to eat (& a drink). I ended up having the Smoked Meat sandwich & my wife had a Shepherd's Pie (with shredded roast beef ... nice bonus touch).
The waiter, Mike R., provided excellent service, proposed an excellent choice of beer.
So if you plan ahead stop by, relax & enjoy a meal & drink.

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

Très mauvais expérience avec l'hôtesse d'accueil. Qui n'a pas voulu nous donner une table de 4 car les 2 autres personnes étaient en train de passer les filtres & nous rejoindre. Elle exigeait de nous asseoir au bar pour peut être nous redeplacer ensuite sur un ton très autoritaire. Je lui ai fait remarqué l'absurdité de cette démarche car il y avait pleins de tables disponibles Le ton est monté assez haut de son côté. Je lui ai fait remarquer que j étais le client & qu'elle n'avait pas à me hurler dessus . J'ai demandé à voir le manager Paul. Très pro très sympathique il nous a de suite donné une table de 4 . On nageait dans l'absurde & l'incorrection.est elle à sa place dans un lieu public où il y'a tout le temps du monde?
Pour le reste sinon c'était très bien
Had a great experience here! The food was absolutely delicious - full of flavor & perfectly cooked. Service was super quick, which was a nice surprise, & Marzena was amazing. Super friendly, attentive, & made sure everything was just right. Definitely coming back!
