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.

This was probably the best dining experience we had during our visit to Montreal. The food was outstanding & the service was great. I love the intimate ambiance. I will most definitely visit Bis again when next I am in Montreal.

I highly recommend Bis. The food was among the very best we had in our brief stay in Montreal, & the service was great. I don't think I have any drawbacks at all. I will certainly return when next I am in Montreal .
Impeccable service & outstanding food!
We look forward to our return for salad & homemade sausage starters to a grappa finish, with wonderful pasta & main courses throughout the evening, bravo!
