Excellent resto. La nourriture y est délicieuse & l'utilisations des herbes boréales ajoutent une touche parfaite aux différents mets.
La découverte fut plus qu'heureuse. Je compte y retourner à plusieurs reprises. Le service y est excellent.

Très beau restaurant, un personnel super sympathique & efficace, le repas était excellent. Un seul bémol, la carte des vins offre presqu'exclusivement des vins du Québec, nous avons certes fait des découvertes intéressantes, mais cela peut en refroidir quelques uns

Bel endroit, ambiance décontractée & chaleureuse, très bon service. Belles recommandations de vins par le serveur. Je suggérais d'avoir plus d'options végétariennes & plus qu'un poisson. On reviendra!

We went as a group of 3. The ambiance & decor get a 10/10. The entrées were all very good, we took the scallops, the arancini & the carpaccio. The main courses were more of a miss. I had the filet mignon which was well cooked with a nice sauce, but my two dinner mates had the cod which was not well seasoned & accompanied with a strange mussel filled cabbage roll & the lamb shoulder, which also lacked seasoning & had an odd texture that made it almost inedible. The meal was saved with the desserts. We took the mille-feuille & the pavlova which were very good. However, if the main course is the worst part of the meal - something definitely needs to be adjusted in order to make this restaurant worth while for the price.

Suite aux commentaires, nos attentes étaient très élevés. Le décor du restaurant est très beau, avec une ambiance feutré.
Nous avons pris comme entrée un tartare de boeuf. Bon sans plus.
Comme plat principal, j'ai pris le Repentigny (filet mignon): il était parfait. Rien à dire. Mon conjoint a pris le Shawinigan ( agneau): grosse déception! L'assiette est arrivée froide. Pas tiède: froide! Nous avons demandé de la faire réchauffer. Par la suite, les accompagnements étaient très bien, mais l'agneau était insipide... il manquait d'assaisonnement. Très ordinaire, surtout pour un restaurant de cette catégorie! Le service était bien, mais un peu lent.
Est-ce qu'on aimerait y retourner? Non. Est-ce que je ke recommanderais? Probablement, non. Il y a des meilleurs restaurants à Montréal que le Bivouac.
