Review Summary

Reviews of Bis Ristorante describe a warm, cozy Italian dining spot with authentic, flavorful food and professional yet friendly service. The ambiance is frequently described as romantic and conducive to conversation, though some tables feel close and can be a bit loud at times. Dishes such as fresh pasta, risotto and seafood or meat specials are hailed as delicious and generously portioned, with many meals described as memorable and well prepared; a few critiques note overdressed salads or occasional overcooked pasta. The staff and management are consistently praised for attentiveness, hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere, contributing to a homey dining experience. The wine list and desserts are well received, supporting Bis Ristorante as a top Italian option in the city for date nights, celebrations or casual dinners alike. Some reviews mention higher prices, though most feel the quality and experience justify the cost; parking options can also be convenient. Overall, Bis Ristorante comes across as a standout for authentic Italian cuisine, warm service, and a memorable, repeatable dining experience that guests are eager to return to.

La nourriture est bonne, rien à dire là-dessus. En revanche, la fin de l'expérience a été très désagréable. Nous avons payé 245 $ pour deux personnes, ce qui est déjà un montant élevé. J'ai laissé un pourboire de 5 $, qui est un choix personnel.
Le serveur s'est montré fâché & m'a dit que « c'était écrit que c'était 30 $ » & que je devais payer ce montant en pourboire. Or, les pourboires ne sont pas une obligation mais un choix du client, surtout quand aucun frais de service obligatoire n'est clairement indiqué.
Nous n'avons pas mangé gratuitement. Forcer ou faire pression sur les clients pour un pourboire est inacceptable.

Delicious food, from appetizers to mains to dessert. Attentive staff. An upscale & elevated experience without pretension. Some of the tables are situated quite close together which was the only drawback. Highly recommend this spot for a special date night.

The food isn't really that great, however, the service from our server was good.

It's truffle season & they did not have any meals with truffle in it. Very disappointing.

We had reservations here from a suggestion from a good friend. It really hit the mark! The meatball'amuse bouche' could be skipped. If i were to suggest something, make meatballs from the house lamb ragu, that would be a much bigger hit. It's also a taste of your signature dish, should the table want to order it later.

All of our dishes were great. Two of the four of us opted for the duck special, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The other two got the lamb ragu dish, which they loved too.

Desserts were good as well. Shared the profiteroles & the crime brûlée.

Wonderful. Can't recommend it enough. Great food. Relaxed atmosphere. I had Nduja sauce with penne & burrata dollop. Bis is as good as it gets.

I was in town for business & went to Bis by myself to experience the food & atmosphere prior to a busy schedule for the rest of the week. Food was great & service was top shelf. Highly recommended.

I had an exceptional dining experience at this upscale Italian restaurant. The ambiance was warm & elegant, the service attentive without being intrusive, & every dish-from the freshly made pasta to the impeccably prepared entrées-was bursting with authentic flavor. The wine selection was superb. Highly recommended!

Ciao, the only reason I gave you guys four stars is because of the wine list. You need to add some California wines, both red & white. My wife & I usually get a bottle of CA Chardonnay with dinner but all you had was Italian wines. Overhaul your wine list & you will be the best Italian restaurant in Quebec. Grazie!!

First visit. Will def return. Visiting Montreal for the weekend from Ontario. Made a reservation (preferred). Our server, Paloma, was exceptional. Attentive, friendly & professional. (& we were offered to taste the wine we selected to ensure we liked it) We were not rushed,.which was appreciated. Loved that they poured the olive oil/balsamic at our table) The food was amazing - fresh, authentic Italian. Portions were larger than we expected. I had gnocchi & husband had pork cheek carbonara. The mini meatballs (complimentary) were delicious. Great ambiance, low lighting & music in.the background - not loud. Perfect for a date night. Thank you! 😁
