In summer, the Bivouac Terrace offers a breathtaking view of the city and is perfectly located to enjoy the lively Place des Festivals. In winter, the Refuges du Bivouac offer to set up a camp for an evening under a beautifully decorated and heated dome that can accommodate up to 10 people, in the heart of the entertainment district.
Guests describe Bivouac as a refined and welcoming destination where service is consistently attentive and the cuisine feels inventive and generously portioned. The setting ranges from elegant indoor dining to magical winter bubbles and a terrace that glows under night lights. Dishes are praised for their presentation and quality, with standout seafood and well crafted wine pairings, though some reviewers note room for more variety in the wine by the glass. The staff are commended for professionalism and thoughtful service that makes celebrations and pre show meals feel special, while a few comments mention higher prices and occasional noise. Overall, Bivouac comes across as a standout choice for memorable dinners, gatherings, and special occasions, offering a memorable combination of food, wine, and ambiance.
Tres beau restaurant, concept très intéressant avec énormément de produits du Québec très bien travaillés mais qq détails énervants comme l'entrée qui nous arrive alors qu'on a reçu les (excellents) cocktails apéritifs moins de 2 minutes avant, un serveur qui passe sa soirée avec son masque sur le menton, les 20 minutes entre le moment où on enlève les assiettes de l'entrée & celui où nous arrivent les plats de résistance & cette décision que parce qu'une personne à la table prend un cocktail sans alcool, il n'est pas nécessaire de demander si l'autre voudrait avoir du vin avec ses plats .. nous avons aimé notre soirée mais pas assez pour que cette adresse s'ajoute à nos resto récurrents

Superbe restaurant belle ambiance! Classique chic , the vue is incredible , cocktails are great.
The food is well selected, but the chef like to put lime every where 😅😂 very pronounced! - 🌟
third or fourth time I'm going there. Still not disappointed! The food is great, the cocktails are a bit pricey but taste great & the service is good too!
Ambiance, decor, cocktails & food - all great. However, I was expecting the level of service to have been much better than it was, for a restaurant of this caliber.
We waited for awhile for our server to attend to us & check in to see if there was anything we needed throughout our dining experience.
Though everything else was great, my disappointment with the service is what would dissuade me from coming back.
Rapport qualité-prix excellent! Nourriture & cocktail délicieux. Je recommande fortement. La terrasse est magnifique avec la vue sur la place des arts!

Les cocktails sont vraiment bon.Certains repas était bon.Nous avons commandé des entrées pour deux puisque le serveur nous avait dit qu'on pouvait les partager mais les portions sont trop petites & même le repas avait une petites portions.Si vous avez de l'appétit il faut commander l'entrée & le dessert seul.
Quelle belle découverte culinaire grâce à Montréal à table. Au coeur du centre-ville. Employés courtois & chaleureux. Mention toute spéciale à notre serveur Maxime, hors pair !
Au Bivouac, nous sommes aux petits soins de A à Z. Respect & souci de mes allergies comme rarement ailleurs de la part de toute l'équipe. Je recommande sans hésiter autant pour un cocktail sur la terrasse que la gastronomie & son approvisionnement local à l'échelle du Québec. Gastronomie boréale dans certains plats. Décor chic & feutré avec vue imprenable sur la Place des Arts. Bravo à toute l'équipe & bonne continuité !
Food is incredible (only the desserts were not that awesome), it is one of the best restaurants I've tried in Montreal. The cocktails are also good (recommend the Festival one) & the service is great. Will definitely come back!
Expérience géniale ! Nous sommes venus pour la fête de mon conjoint & avons été super bien reçus ! Du cocktail sur la terrasse jusqu'au repas divin servi en intérieur avec une magnifique vue de le quartier des Spectacles ! Ils ont eu une belle attention avec bougie pour l'occasion. La gentillesse de notre serveur & son équipe est à souligner. On recommande & on reviendra !
Great drinks, food, & atmosphere. Highly recommend their signature le Festival cocktail. One point of improvement is music choice, getting a curated playlist to accompany the great terasse vibes will be so much better than playing radio pop music. Overall great experience though, staff service was great.
