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.
The ambiance is lovely. However, the food was very disappointing. The scallop entrée was good but the main course, especially the rabbit seriously reminded me or airplane food & not in a good way. The rabbit itself was flavorless & overcooked while the potatoes were just bad & came with two sad unseasoned steamed broccolis. If you had told me it came out of a microwave I would have believed you. I wouldn't write this review but it markets itself as a high end restaurant with prices to match. The service is good but the food needs some serious work.
Le décor & l'ambiance étaient magnifiques. Cependant, le service du bar laisse à désirer. Attendre pendant au moins 30 minutes après s'être assis, se sentir activement ignorés, puis finalement avoir à se lever & à s'imposer au bar afin que la commande soit prise.....Vraiment
Un lieu aux accents art déco agréable & chaleureux. Le personnel est aux petits soins & souriant. La nourriture fine & goûteuse. L'expérience à quatre mains en édition limitée des chefs de Charlevoix nous a donné un plaisir immense. Je recommande !
Located in downtown, in the heart of Place des Arts, Bivouac is a great & must-go restaurant that won't disappoint the most picky food. It has everything for success, great view, great services & motivated staffs, beautiful decor & finally amazing food. I will definitely come back.
Bon restaurant, très belle déco. J'ai pris un tartare au boeuf, c'était bon, il cela manquait d'assaisonnement pour moi. Il a fallu demander une sauce piquante pour agrémenter le tout.
Ambiance très agréable avec la présence d'une violoniste qui parcourait le restaurant en jouant. La décoration est magnifique. La nourriture est très bonne mais il manque un petit quelque chose: les plats sont très classique mais on aurait pris un peu plus de fantaisie.
Je conseille particulièrement le ceviche de morue & le pouding chômeur ! Le restaurant est très beau. Petit plus en tant que française .. ils servent du bon pain !

The dome experience is unique! It is a private place where you can put the music that you want, heated & an amazing place to have a delicious dinner. The service was 5 stars, the tasting menu was unique & spectacular. All the dishes were fantastic! My only complaint is that I would like to be able to stay longer, since you can stay only until 11pm because the experience is so wonderful that it makes you want to stay longer. Best night ever!
Excellent moment passé dans ce charmant restaurant, les plats étaient succulents, le service excellent, & l'ambiance chaleureuse & accueillante, c'était ma première fois mais certainement pas la dernière! Je le recommande vivement!
The food was wonderful, especially the locally recommended dessert. The bartender was very good & gave me lots of ideas to come back in June for the Montreal Jazz Festival.

Très bon repas . Par contre j'aurais apprécié que l'on offre le menu enfant à mes deux ados de 13 ans car pour eux le choix à la carte étais moin intéressant. On leur a seulement demandé leur âges & par la suite dit qu'il ne peuvent pas avoir de menu . Les filles on rester un peut bête . Ça ne m'aurait pas dérangé de payer plus si cetais ça le problème pour qu'elle mange se quelques chose qui leur parlais plus . Juste une suggestion.
Le menu est très original ; malheureusement, il y a peu de choix sans ail (ex. : un seul parmi les entrées & un seul parmi les plats principaux), quoiqu'il soit en principe possible d'avoir un accommodement de la part de la cuisine).
