Extremely knowledgeable & friendly staff. Lots of lesser know spirit & fortified wine selections but this staff is always ready & available to talk about their backbar. Great little bites to compliment some of the most unique & delicious drinks in the city!
Fantastic cocktail bar specializing in low(er) abv drinks. Really delicious, awesome vibe, & great merch. Who knew sherry-based drinks could be so delicious??? Do not miss - a great antidote to all the touristy stuff nearby.
Our bartender (Yousef) made our evening very enjoyable. very attentive, easy going & knowlegeable.
Ambience has a very chill vibe which we loved. The Coldroom, which I believe is owned by the same company, is nice, but more crowded & cramped. Bisou Bisou is a hidden gem. We felt very welcomed, & was a great way to end our week long vacation to Quebec city & Montreal. Hope to come back. Try the Stone fruit cocktail, & reverse manhattan.
I ordered the highball of the month. Don't remember the name exactly but it was something with pineapple🍍. It did taste fruity. Overall the drink was okay. Also ordered the octopus in olive oil. Very oily. My friends ordered the TORTILLA DE PATATAS (Spanish potato omelette). That was quite nice.
⭐ 5/5 - Hidden gem with top-tier cocktails
Such a lovely speakeasy! We were lucky to sit right in front of the bartender & got a full view of her craft - absolutely amazing to watch. Every drink she made was not only beautifully presented but also perfectly balanced & delicious. A must-visit if you appreciate great cocktails & skilled bartending.
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.
This is an INCREDIBLE bar! We came in here just to check it out because it was across the street from our hotel & were blown away by our drinks. We ended up coming every night we were in town. Every cocktail (& mocktail) was incredible & better than any other we had in Montreal. I highly recommend making a stop here if you're nearby or far away. It's worth the trip!
Such a relaxing atmosphere with super friendly employees. There was no wait & all of the food/drinks came out pretty quickly. The little pea mocktail was amazing along with the chips & aioli. Definitely worth checking this place out!
The bar is downstairs, nice quiet vibe, Lots of old stone, comfy banquets to sit on. You can hear yourself talk. Very attentive service. The drinks were good, a nice selection, the charcuterie board was fantastic Thank you Grace!
