December 2025: had an off menu creation & it was great, staff was super welcoming & gave me recommendations for an upcoming trip.
August 2025: changed their menu a bit. Hydra & Panier were pretty well balanced, same cool vibe & friendly staff.
September 2024: Watermark was smooth. Friendly, attentive service. Music was disco vibes.
June 2024: Pluto was a great cocktail. The BBtini was smooth. Friendly service from Rob. Great music once again.
July 2023: Friendly service. Great cocktails in the nouveau départ, Babylon slide, & stone flower. Food was delicious & surprisingly filling, got the cheese plate & the Rillette de porc. Nice decor & fun mix of music.

Yousef was amazing!
The cocktails were delicious, ambiance was great & the music was on point. It was not loud & you can talk to your companions.
I would come back & bring out of towners to discover this gem & feel like a local.

Atmosphere: 8.5/10
Located in Old Montreal's lively nightlife district, Bisou Bisou is a spacious basement bar with a wide mix of seating options - from bar stools to larger group tables. The vibe is casual but stylish, with playful art featuring alcohol-inspired themes that seem to echo late'80s or early'90s aesthetics. Design details like exposed brick & tiled walls add warmth. Music volume is well-balanced, making it a comfortable place to talk.

Drinks: 8/10
Recommendation: Le Petit Éléphant
The menu leans into lighter spirits & lower ABV cocktails - it's a clear concept that's even mentioned up front. Each drink comes with detailed notes on flavor, ingredients, glassware, & alcohol percentage, which makes it fun & easy to navigate. Flavors are relatively balanced. Above-average glassware, nice coasters, & good presentation round it out.

Service: 7.5/10
Water was served on arrival. The team is friendly & attentive, but the bar feels lightly understaffed for its size - expect some delays on orders, especially when it's busy. Prices are average for Montreal & feel fair for what's offered.

Superb cocktail bar in the Old Port. Super chill & welcoming with excellent service. Their signature drinks are well designed & the menu is great at explaining them. Not too loud, good music. Perfect for a drink, date, or outings with a few friends.
