The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a pleasant atmosphere that feels high end & inviting. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the setting. There was only one vegan option on the menu, which I ordered, & it was a major disappointment. It was soggy, wet, mushy, & overall unappetizing. The fries, on the other hand, were excellent. Honestly, I should have just stuck with the fries & a bottle of bubbles.
For a restaurant of this caliber, I expected much better. It would be great to see a few more thoughtfully prepared vegan options that are actually enjoyable & worthy of the otherwise lovely ambiance.
Another concern was the lack of attention to detail in service. It was obvious that I didn't eat my dish. It was barely touched yet no one asked if something was wrong or if I was dissatisfied with the meal. That lack of care or curiosity about why a guest didn't eat their food was disappointing, & ultimately, that's the main reason I wouldn't return.
On a positive note, the gentleman who assisted us, dressed in a suit & appearing to be a manager, was extremely kind, attentive, & professional, which I greatly appreciated. When my friend & I were trying to figure out if it was possible to get a view of a concert outside, he was genuinely inquisitive & eager to help us.
I hope the kitchen & service team can improve on these points to match the quality of the ambiance.

It's a bad hotel restaurant with some views if seated right. It was there last summer, & I arrived in a very good mood, ready to eat my heart out & spend some money. But, the room was so cold & very loud. I ordered a 1st dish, veal parmigiana. Everything was wrong, from the tomato sauce-you just don't throw a bunch of tomatoes in a pan & boil... It lacked spices & finesse; it was adapted to the American clientele that frequents that hotel. Then I did not want to eat that, so I ordered a second dish the the maitre d'hotel came & yelled at me. I was to pissed off to even taste it so I asked for both meals to go. They could not provide a bag to bring it. So I paid & left & will never go again. Will never recommend. Mind you, it's not a Michelin star, not even on the list of the best 29th restaurants in Montréal. Just saying.

Menu très bien balancé, avec des plats très intéressants & excellents.
Belle carte des vins, mais pour les vins rouges, trop de choix avec les mêmes cépages, aucun Pinot Noir à part deux Grand Crus bourguignons, Gamay.

Le service est beaucoup trop lent surtout pendant une période forte de festivals. Il faut remédier à la situation.

The food is original & put forth product of Quebec or near by. The presentation is original & unique. The rabbit was a bit bland but my porc was outstanding.

Dommage que la musique soit un poil forte.
L'ambiance reste néanmoins très agréable & la nourriture est délicieuse.
Le service est impeccable & le personnel très prévenant & chaleureux.

J'ai mangé au Bivouac hier soir juste avant d'aller voir le spectacle de Fred Fortin au Club Soda. La nourriture y est excellente. J'ai pris un filet de boeuf & il était cuit selon mes spécifications, & c'est très rare que cela arrive dans un restaurant. Même commentaires pour ma conjointe qui a pris le même plat que moi. Son plat était cuit à la perfection. De plus, le service était excellent. Tous les serveurs qui se sont pointé le nez à notre table étaient courtois & on pouvait parler avec eux comme s'il s'agissait de nos amis, tout cela, sans être envahissants. Le vin que nous avons bu était parfait & servi à la bonne température. C'est un restaurant un peu dispendieux, mais, on n'a rien pour rien!

Absolutely fantastic dinner. Staff is amazing & food was also amazing. The oysters were fresh, the appetizers & main dishes were very good (kudos to the octopus), the dessert was delightful. Wine was very good. They brought us fresh bread during our meal which was great & rare these days. The decor is also gorgeous.
This is a hidden gem in Montreal that a lot of people don't know about unless they are staying at this hotel.
Definitely recommending this place to people!

J'y suis allée avec mes parents. La pieuvre était délicieuse ! Le service était attentif, l'équipe agréable, & l'ambiance très réussie pour l'ouverture de la terrasse. Belle vue sur la Place des Arts, en plein coeur de la ville. L'ambiance tamisée du restaurant intérieur était parfaite pour quelques photos souvenir. :)

Toujours un plaisir. Incroyable gaspacho de cantaloup, saumon fondant à souhait & pouding chômeur juste ce qu'il faut de sucré.

Moi & mon épouse avons promis le meme rôti de boeuf avec la même cuisson médium saignant. Le mien était si raide que difficilement mastiquable tandis que le sien était ok. Pas de la cuisine super raffinée, ça vais pas le détour au 6e étage!

Toujours un plaisir. Cette fois-ci, une gaspacho au cantaloup TOTALEMENT EXQUISE, un saumon fondant entouré de petits radis marinés & croquants à souhait, & un pouding chômeur moelleux & juste ce qu'il faut de sucré. Le Bivouac : toujours l'excellence.

Fantastic food, beautiful presentation, very attentive waitstaff, excellent ambience & decor. Common allergens are clearly marked on the menu.
On the pricier side but well worth it.
Best option in the area for a reservation if you're attending an event at Place des Arts!
