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.
Absolutely great food, but questionable service. I asked for a latte with an extra shot, but instead was brought just a number of espressos & charged full price for each one.
Our server, Sarah M, also lambasted us for not tipping more than 15%? Just entirely unprofessional.'Here in Canada we tip' lady, we are from Canada.
We came to had a breakfast between our connecting flight. The place looked great while walking along & we thought to try it out. The food was good & the atmosphere was good too but once we received our food within 20 - 30 mins the server placed the cheque on the table. They also took the plate from which i was eating. The server again insisted if we want the payment machine even though we were still not yet finished with the food.
Seemed like they wanted to force us out even though most of the tables were empty. Looks targetted to certain skin color.
Great food, fast service, breakfast reasonably priced. Our waitress, Evelyne, was exceptional! She was so kind, always smiling & quick to refill our coffee/water!

Escale incontournable lors d'un passage à YUL! Toujours à l'écoute des contraintes de temps, Mélissa nous a non seulement servi à boire & à manger mais a mis habilement la table à notre voyage qui débutait. Un sourire & dynamisme contagieux avec une bonne bière, quoi de mieux avant un vol!
Archibald's offers a perfect pit stop-quick service that fits your flight schedule, paired with a laid-back vibe to ease travel stress. We stopped in this place to grab a bite to eat. They made sure we had at least 40 minutes to dine before seating us for service. Jessica was our waitress, knowledgeable about the robust menu, & attentive. The food arrived in about 10 minutes. If you are looking to just try poutine, it was decent & comforting, but not anything to rant about. Beefy, bacon-filled burgers seem to be the fail-safe option. I enjoyed the juicy brew, which is passion fruit & other light flavors that paired well with the poutine. Archibald's is a great choice for a quick & satisfying meal before your flight-definitely worth a stop.
