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.
Un repas extraordinaire avec un service impeccable (grâce à Naomie!). Le menu premières loges est parfait pour un repas avant le spectacle. La terrasse vaut l'expérience. À refaire assurément!

We had the pleasure of dining at Restaurant Bivouac last evening Prior to a concert. Fantastic! The atmosphere & food were the best, But the service was Extraordinary! Our waiter, Sarah was A joy & delight. SPOT ON, on every detail. But it was clearly a team effort in servicing every patron with The Entire Service staff. It was one of The best experience service wise I have had. Comes down to detail, & they top it. I would give 10 stars for the service if it were available. John Oakes
The hostess didn't do a good sitting placement job & we were left as a silent couple near families with kids, they can eat in beautiful restaurants too, but not in the same section, it's a vibe you know
We were there for drinks & had a fantastic experience. We didn't have to wait long & were promptly brought to the rooftop bar. The atmosphere was great, with an amazing view overlooking Place des Arts. You can feel the hustle & excitement from Saint Catherine below. While we didn't get much service, it didn't detract from our experience. The location really made up for everything, offering a perfect spot to relax & take in the city vibes.
J'ai vraiment apprécié cette première visite au Bivouac. Belle ambiance, les plats sont excellents (quoique ma pièce de boeuf n'était pas parfaite, disons). Excellent service courtois & chaleureux de la part de Maxime. On sent qu'il a le service à coeur. Je vais assurément revenir. Pour du poisson par contre..
The Decor & The Ambiance were amazing, it really fits the area. Had a tiny problem with our table at first , but the issue was resolved quickly pretty much, thanks to the receptionist. The whole team were very attentive to detail , which we greatly appreciated. The Food was also on point, nothing bad to say in this sector. Our Server, Jason, was absolute wonder, to you dear friend, once again , you were absolutely great . To the Bivouac Team , you all were! Looking forward to another dinner! Thank you.

Excellent service de la part de Maxime L. Il a réellement rehaussé l'expérience au point d'imposer une 2e visite. Smooth, mais professionnel, il a su nous mettre à l'aise tout en étant respectueux & poli. C'est le type de service auquel ont s'attend dans ce genre d'endroit, merci Maxime.
The two things ordered were both disappointing. The beef was not to the expectation of taste & was cold when we got it. The Cornish hen arrived at room temperature. Service was also disappointing. We had a new waiter & he was not attentive. We had to flag him down for water & condiments. Unfortunately he was not visible often so it was a bit challenging to get service. I gathered it was a slow night but he didn't receive any guidance. I've eaten at many Hilton restaurants, but unfortunately this one was not a top one. I recommend the view, but not the service or food.
Soyez patient ! Je suis venu un mardi soir pour leur ouverture, j'ai attendu 1h15 pour me servir... une bière. Pas d'excuses de la part du responsable qui semblait meme agacé que je lui demande ou c'en était. Je ne sais pas si c'est frequent dans cet établissement mais revisez vos standards pour le bien de vos clients.
