Downtown Montreal is home to a brand new occupant, and we’re here to have a good time. A social lounge, an artisan bar and a modern bistro, Bivouac provides an urban and boreal gastronomic experience to all who pass through its doors.
Here, the objective is simple: to introduce guests to a whole new world of tastes and sensations. Taking advantage of the best that the Quebec region and its artisans have to offer.
Bivouac is where guests can get away from the chaos of city life to explore, share and enjoy the quintessence of our nature, all during a meal.

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.
Excellent service & the food was delicious. We enjoyed steak, oysters & great drinks. Strongly recommend if you enjoy a good romantic atmosphere or a group outing. Oyster lover? Try Wednesdays for double the oysters at the same price!

Belle expérience. Les plats sont raffinés, le lieu chaleureux & classe, le service très professionnel. Au niveau des prix, c'est très correct pour ce qui est servi.
Great food, great attentive service. When they didn't have the alcohol my partner was looking for, they offered him several alternatives to taste test. We took the Montréal a table menu & we were overall very satisfied with our experience, especially the scallops, fish & desserts!
Very disappointed experience. I came to Bivouac with my family before a show at Place des Arts. I found the restaurant extremely loud with a very agitated atmosphere, where it's difficult to relax & have conversation. While dishes had a nice visual appeal, they lack the taste & refinement one would expect at this price tag. The salmon was clearly frozen & overcooked, while the apple dessert was tasteless. Service was efficient but lack a personal touch. Without naming them, some other restaurants in the aera are much better than Bivouac.
Nous avons mangé dans la section lounge du bar. La déco est sophistiquée & chaleureuse. Le personnel, fort sympathique, offre un service soigné & attentionné. Nous avons très bien mangé. Nous avons passé une très agréable soirée dans l'ensemble. À refaire!

Nourriture excellente ! Service attentionné. Nous avons toutefois été un peu pressé par le temps en fin de repas puisque nous avions un spectacle prévu à 20h00.
Troisième visite au bivouac. Les plats sont toujours aussi agréables a découvrir. Par contre la musique du DJ est trop forte, sa programmation style boite de nuit détonne & dérange.
