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.
Service impeccable, choix de vin très intéressant & la bouffe est délicieuse. Plus encore, la terrasse est superbe & offre une vue sur la place des arts.
Belle ambiance & superbe terrasse! On a bien mangé! Cependant le service était très lent & on devait attendre longtemps avant qu'on vienne nous voir pour vous offrir d'autres consommations.
Nourriture à la fois raffinée & conviviale, excellent service, beau décor & bien situé. Rapport qualité prix bon, un peu dispendieux mais en vaut la peine.

Excellent repas! Décor très beau.
Serveur très attentionné, mais le temps entre les services était extrêmement long (1 heure entre l'entrée & le repas principal), alors que nous avions précisé aller voir un spectacle juste après... Le restaurant n'était pourtant pas très bondé, mais somme toute, possiblement que nous y retournerons pour un verre.
Cocktails plus que médiocres, la cuisine est bonne mais reste très ordinaire. Passez votre chemin, Montréal est une ville qui regorge d'autres restaurants bien plus intéressants que celui-ci. L'hospitalité des serveurs est à revoir.
Online reservation worked well. We were well received, seated & served. Although we only had an hour at the resatuarant, due to a concert starting time, service was prompt & courteous & did not seem rushed. Meals were excellent. The Place des Arts view from the 6th floor window where the concert took place was an added bonus for our out of town visitors & us.
