Bis est un restaurant incontournable à vivre cette expérience, accueil & ambiance chaleureuse & courtoise ! Nourriture comme le risotto aux crevettes super goûteux ! Marcello & son personnel sont à la hauteur de la renommé du resto depuis plusieurs années! Fortement recommandé ! Stationnement assumé par le resto … à ne pas négliger ❤?View more

It offers delicious Italian cuisine with great vegetarian options like risotto & truffle mac & cheese. Their desserts, including tiramisu & cannoli, are top-notch. The elegant atmosphere & attentive service make it a must-visit!View more

Went twice to Bis & I'm never disappointed. The staff is amazing. The carbonara pasta is amazing. The risotto was great. My cocktail was great & the dessert 10/10. I highly recommend.View more

Salmon & vegetables were cooked perfectly. Too much Risotto; needed much less & could have added something else to vary the dish somewhat. Wasn't the best Creme Brulee I've ever had. Lemon Cake was excellent.View more

The restaurant is really cute & cozy & the service was good. It's a nice setting for a romantic dinner. The veal shank with the risotto was delicious & I enjoyed the Cucu Coco cocktail & the dessert. On the other hand, I didn't like the calamari. It was oily & it needed more seasoning. I would also suggest maybe changing the chairs or the upholstery. Overall, I had a good experience there.View more

A lovely evening of incredible food, perfect drinks, & attentive but not intrusive service. Whenever we are in Montreal we make a point of dining at Bis - the best shrimp risotto my husband has ever had!View more

A very good restaurant experience, in a convenient location. The food was excellent, we had the risotto & pasta, & both were perfect. The shrimp risotto was particularly good, with the right amount of creaminess.View more

The food was absolutely delicious! My wife had the shrimp risotto, I had the cod. The best we have ever had. Staff phenomenal. Atmosphere charming. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.View more

We loved our dinner selections which included the Osso buco, shrimp risotto, & pasta with chorizo. Service was efficient & helpful. We happened to be at Bis when there were multiple birthday celebrations ongoing, thus the noise level was high. Great experience!View more

The service was good. We got two dishes. The spaghetti was too salty & Risotto Chicken was without any salt! Overall, wouldn't recommend.View more

Decided to come here before the hockey game & very glad we did! Small restaurant & quite busy but a very warm atmosphere. Our meal was excellent. We had a salmon special & a pasta feature. Next time I want to try the risotto. The mini meatballs they offered after sitting down were amazing. Just as good was the staff. Very attentive & friendly. I think regulars coming in they know but we felt just as welcome. Will definitely come again when back in town.View more

We are regulars & love the resto .
We had to wait a very long time to ge seated & served which was due to the Madonna concert that night ...,no problem , we understood .
But ....When my husband did not eat his risotto , found it sour ( probably too much lemon ) it really should have been on the house . Or a least a complimentary dessert offered .
Also ,,I shared a plate ... addition 9$ no problem ... but it came on one plate , then after I asked to have it plated , two small appetizer plates arrived & no additional side vegetables . Very unappealing , especially given the 70+$ of the steak . I had to ask for tiny additional serving of vegetables again presented on baby plate. Given our patience , understanding & loyalty to this establishment & their exceptionally busy situation , it should have been appreciation by them & their actions & it certainly was NOT .
via LibroThe food was amazing! I had the shrimp & scallop risotto, my son loved the cod, & my husband cleaned his plate of chicken/ saffron risotto!!

I had dinner at Bis with 3 longtime friends last night. We were well received & appreciated the cozy ambience on a winter's night.
For cocktails, my friends ordered Martinis & a Campari whereas I initially ordered a Mint Julep. The waiter did not know what a Mint Julep was. Seeing as though there is no bar, I decided to order something simple, a Godmother, a straightforward mix of vodka & Amaretto which I had to explain how to prepare.
When the waiter brought me my drink, he said « Here is your weird drink » I assumed this was meant as harmless ribbing, meant to be funny & so I politely smiled.
Things took a downright offensive turn, however, when one of my friends extracted a hair from her mouth after her first bite of a tomato from the antipasti platter we ordered. When she signaled the presence of the hair on our dish, the waiter replied that everyone in the kitchen had short hair - he left & came & asked "if" we wanted our dish exchanged.
Of course we did.
In the meantime, the manager came over to see us. As I saw him approach our table, I assumed he was coming over to apologize. Instead, he merely reiterated that "everyone in the kitchen is bald".
At this point, I was ready to leave as any restaurateur with a modicum of class would have simply apologized & removed the dish immediately, without question. The four of us were offended by the insinuation that was embedded in the insistence that the hair did not come from the kitchen staff.
Nonetheless, we proceeded with our meal. The food was decent. However, the waiter again scoffed at us, when my friend & I asked for extra parmesan on our lemon risotto with shrimp. He asked us "Are you sure you are Italian, because no Italian would put cheese on seafood!" By this point our patience for ribbing had worn very thin. While his comment is correct, lemon risotto contains parmesan as a core ingredient- the dish we were served was very creamy & so the extra cheese was not a affront to the shrimp which was mostly served already mixed into to the cheese broth. (The risotto itself was very good, served piping hot, but the shrimp element was overcooked.)
In a nutshell, the quality of the service was not congruent with the $500 we spent on the meal: I trust this feedback is received constructively so that future patrons may have a classier, seamless dining experience.
(I have taken the time to provide this review because I received an email requesting my feedback- a sign, at least, that on some level Bis cares about their patrons)
via LibroAttentive but casual service. Flavourful & rich pastas & risotto. The meal felt like a special occasion. Mille grazie.

Delicious food. My favourite is the lemon veal & mushroom risotto. Service a+.
Also love the lemon ice sorbet. Enjoy
via LibroExcellent service. Les plus consciencieux que j'ai vu en matière d'allergies alimentaires (& de loin!). Le risotto était un peu fade mais sinon un très bon restaurant. Je retournerais sans hésiter.
via LibroOvercooked risotto. Wine served behind the counter. An typical & classic italian spot of Montreal where the welcoming service can't help overcome the blatant food.
via LibroFood was all round very good & great environment. Service was great as well. Salmon tartare was a bit bland but foie gras was spectacular on the pineapples. Main courses were great. Risotto was one of the best I've tried. I'm a beer guy & was disappointed coors light was the only selection...where's the Peroni?!

Food was delicious. I had the grilled octopus appetizer & mushroom risotto. Risotto can be too creamy & over-flavoured. Not here. Perfectly cooked.
Great attention to detail. This is a place for nice dining. Never felt rushed by the staff. After the appetizer they asked if we'd like our main course right away or wait. Seems like an obvious thing but very few restaurants do this. & If I'm going to be at a table for a few hours, the furniture better be comfortable. 100% at Bis
via Librohad a wonderful evening. Intimate & friendly vibe. Good service. Food was excellent especially the truffle risotto.
via LibroWe returned to Bis on Saturday night, having eaten there several times before, & it had not lost its charm.The restaurant is cozy, & the service was superb.Our waiter, Mike, was efficient, without being overbearing. The food was excellent.I enjoyed the delicious veal piccata, & my husband had shrimp risotto. The only thing missing was that the affable host was on vacation. Guess we will have to return!
