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.

Overall, Bivouac comes across as a standout choice for memorable dinners, gatherings, and special occasions, offering a memorable combination of food, wine, and ambiance.
Nous avons eu un excellent service. Le repas Montréal en lumière était délicieux. Il ne manque qu'une plus grande sélection de vins au verre. Sinon..belle ambiance & beau décor!

Emplacement de choix pour cette terrasse avec vue sur le quartier des spectacles & le centre-ville. La carte des vins a des options bio & le service est impeccable. La touche ambiance est bien assurée avec le DJ sur place & le décor moderne.
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.

Belle ambiance, décor magnifique, bel accueil. Le spritz pas très italien & le rizoto manquait de saveur, mais le personnel est ouvert & accepte les commentaires. Continuez votre bon travail. Nous retournerons avec de amis.
Très bons plats, super décor & bon service.
Par contre, nous y allions pour le menu Montréal à table & une fois arrivés sur place, on nous a dit qu'il n'était pas disponible. Décevant que ce ne soit pas indiqué avant.
Bon resto. Beau décor. Service & conseils appréciés de la part de notre serveur Claude. Nourriture qui répondait à mes attentes.
Seul bémol le niveau de décibels élevé.
A beautifully & tastefully decorated restaurant with lovely local touches like the clay water bottle & vase. The service was impeccable & generous, the food was delicious & well-thought out with creative touches of spices & veggies. Great choice of wine, very fairly prized. A beautiful ambience & truly memorable experience. Will definitely visit again. Kudos to our waiter Jonathan H. who made an effort to make the meal a pleasure by paying just the right amount of attention. Will definitely be back!

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 !
Nous avons adoré notre expérience!! Les plats sont succulents, le service est chaleureux & professionnel, le décor ainsi que la vue sont sublimes!!
On y retournera c'est certain!!

Une terrasse magnifique avec vue sur l'esplanade de la Place des Arts à découvrir. Une ambiance estivale dans un décor très tendance avec une équipe accueillante & chaleureuse! Merci particulièrement à Catherine Caron pour le bon service qu'elle déploie avec son équipe!
