Very nice!!!
First of all, even if we arrived late, service was impeccable! Nice recommendations, for dishes to share, or wine pairing...
& food was great! Simple & to the point!
& lastly, not so noisy so we could enjoy conversation 😉
Yes it is a little pricey but well worth it. Go for it!

Perfect summer evening!
The place is great for chilling while sipping a cocktail or like we did have a high quality dishes.
The waiter gave us very nice recommendation for pairing the charcuterie with a local wine! Can't be better. Highly recommended for spending a friendly evening on the terrasse.

This is a good restaurant; I would describe the food as updated traditional French. Everything was well-prepared & tasty & the wine list was also good. The server was attentive without being too attentive, & the atmosphere is a kind of upscale lounge. I think, though, we were expecting a bit more considering the reviews we read & the other upscale restaurant to which we went the same week, which offered very creative & refined dishes. This is not a criticism, however; Bivouac is worth visiting.

Excellent service. Great location. Quebec based ingredients from farms & rivers. Poached cod with aioli foam was done just right with fennel & peppers . Cornish hen was moist & sauce was lightly flavoured. Extensive wine list with many Quebec wines should you care to try. Terrace provides great view of Place des Arts, but beware of wasps.

Amazing experience. Excellent food & great friendly service. The gravy with the chicken is to die for. The hot sauce adds a nice kick to the oysters. Wine is decently priced. 10/10

The best freshest tasty food for your money in Montreal. They enhance the taste without compromise. The cod with minimal herbs & the beef tartare were perfect . The best were the scallops : as good as in the best restaurants on the Atlantic coast . Their alcohol free beer Meteorite was delicious . The suggested wine Cote du Rhône ,Mademoiselle des Monts was amazing smooth yet rich. Our 2 very original desserts were a perfect ending . Friendly, joyful & very helpful staff : Sacha & everyone else were great.

What a beautiful experience & service dining last evening at A Bivouac celebrating our guest's 50th BD comments:
"Thank you so much for the delicious & elegant dinner. It was the best one I have had in Montreal. The waiter was sooo attentive! "
Big thank you to Jonathan who made excellent recommendations on wine selections & menu!
Will most definitely return to enjoy the ambiance, food & service! Evening was outstanding & surpassed many other fine dining experiences we have had in Montreal over the years. Restaurant's 4.9* rating is well deserved!

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!
