Endroit magnifique, belle ambiance à cause du festival de jazz, bon service & belles assiettes. Les portion auraient pu être plus généreuse, surtout le plateau de fromage). Merci.

Cher mais le prix est mérité. Un bon équilibre avec les choix de plats & la qualité car l'offre de plats tout en étant limitée présente un choix suffisant. Sur la terrasse c'est vraiment confortable.
UN SEUL MOT :CATASTROPHE
J'avais réservé ce resto en guise d'activité reconnaissance pour mes 6 collègues. Malgré le fait que la bouffe est de bonne qualité, cela a été complètement éclipsée par un festival d'erreurs & le service vraiment pitoyable. Rien n'a bien été durant le souper ... rien. Nous avons subi un supplice de plus de 3h qui a complètement gâché notre seul moment annuel qui devait être festive pour nous. Malgré le fait que le patron a voulu se racheter à la toute fin, nous sommes repartis avec un goût amère. Trois jours plus tard nous en reparlons encore. Aucun de nous n'a jamais vécu le 1/10e d'une expérience aussi catastrophique . Je n'ai jamais écrit de critiques de toute ma vie car je suis généralement un bon public, mais là c'était le boute de la marde comme on dit en québécois.
The food here was very good, especially the dessert, & our waiter was very helpful & professional. My only complaints are with the atmosphere & my fellow diners. I had seen this restaurant categorized as "fine dining," but the atmosphere did not live up to that designation. There were many families with active, noisy children, & the other diners were wearing shorts, t-shirts & blue jeans. It felt more like a standard hotel restaurant than the fine dining experience we were hoping for. In addition, despite having a reservation, we were initially seated at a table next to the door to the patio that kept opening & closing, blowing wind into our faces every time as waiters & guests went in & out & in & out. We requested another table, & appreciate being re-seated, but disliked feeling like we had to push to get a decent table. If you want good food in a so-so atmosphere, it's fine.
Great location with a view of Ste Catherine's street below & Place des Arts adjacent. The ambiance is nice & the seating is comfortable. Our waiter, obviously from France because of his distinctive accent, was excellent. The food was very good & cooked to order. All in all a very pleasant evening, i would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a higher end dining experience.

Vue impressionnante sur le quartier des spectacles lors d'évènements l'été. Menu incroyablement bon, excellente carte de vin, très bons cocktails. À y retourner encore & encore sans hésiter.
Bivouac was a very pleasant & positive experience . The staff were all very attentive , efficient, bilingual, & the food was excellent & well priced .
It was the first night of the Jazzfest & all seemed to run seamlessly. Kudos to the management & staff of Bivouac. I will be back !
