About Us

It is on the very famous rue De La Montagne, in the heart of downtown Montreal, that BIS has called it's home for 35 years now. Nestled between the Bell Centre (home of the HABS) and the largest hotels in the city, BIS has become, over the years with its incredible team, the "pinnacle" of Italian gastronomy. Allow them to prepare for you their unique white truffles (when in season), their famous risotto al Tartufo, an exquisite milk-fed veal chop, a tender Angus Filet Mignon or unforgettable pasta with lamb ragoût... They also receive a shipment of 3 to 5 fresh fish of the day, delivered twice daily! While enjoying the wonderful cuisine offered at BIS, you will also admire the magnificent decor: the bricks and woodwork, which elegantly adorn the surrounding area. Many celebrities visit Bis when they are in town and what could be more incredible than the idea of being seated at a table next to that of Celine Dion, Brad Pitt or George Clooney ? As for the wines, the wine list offers more than 200 privately imported labels from Italy and they are all selected by the owner himself...now that's impressive !

In town for business & I am so happy we found this place. Unbelievable meal, great service. The owner clearly wants to make sure everybody has a great experience & we were not disappointed. Looking for an excuse to go back to Montreal just so I can eat here again!View more

Great little place downtown Montreal. Ambiance is quiet, nice view of the street. Waiter was very nice, I heard him helping what I think was a Chinese family struggling with the French menu. Food was delicious with bonus amuse-bouche of meatballs to start. Would visit again.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

5 star experience. The food was amazing, the service impeccable, the atmosphere super cozy & not too loud. A cute & small place that has a lot of history & you can taste true italian flavors! I had the stuffed eggplant & it was one of the best italian meal I ever had!View more

Ambiance feutrée, excellent choix pour une sortie romantique. J aime bien la salade de roquette comme entrée ainsi que le plat de crevettes fradiavolo comme repas principal. Les pâtes al ragu d agnello sont aussi un excellent choix. Je recommande à ceux qui souhaitent passer une soirée tranquille, à manger de la bonne nourriture italienne.View more

I view BIS as the #1 Italian restaurant in Montreal. Hadn't been since before Covid however (when I went often). Was somewhat disappointed in yesterday's veal. Didn't approach at all the veal quality to which I had been accustomed at BIS. To me, the veal dishes are the true Quality TEST for an Italian restaurant. Hopefully, this was just an off day.

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 .

Good food at a fair price. Our antipasti & soup were absolutely delightful. My wife had the Sicilian eggplant parmigiano. It was well cooked & a decent portion. I had the veal valdostana. The meat around the left in bone were succulent, but the edges were a little dry. I would have preferred a little more vegetables but the overall portion of the plate was fine. Deseert was equally good.
The ambiance is wonderful; quaint & cozy.
Our waitor & overall service was fantastic. They care about their customers.
I can easily recommend BIS to others & I will return to eat here again.
