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.
Did the outdoor bubbles. Had the meal with the wine pairing . Expensive but food was wonderful & wine pairings made the meal. Had five course so left quite satisfied. The bubble made for a very private & focused service.

An excellent experience as always. The service is attentive but unobtrusive & thoughtful. The food leans heavily in to the Canadian traditions with great effect.
The Steak is overcooked, & the service is not what we expected. After we finished the main course, we do not get any attention for over half an hour, or check with us if we want the dessert. I am very disappointed.
One of my favorite spots! As much for lunch, dinner & terrasse! We tried the bubbles (refuge) & that was also amazing! The food & service are always perfect! Thank you to Bastien & his team!
I came here for a fixed Christmas menu, which was a 5-course meal. However, the time between courses was very long, & the service was so slow that I didn't have a good experience. I paid $125.00 per person for a poor service.
Service impeccable & belle ambiance. Pour la nourriture si vous êtes du genre cuisine bistrot vous serez peut-être déçu, mais si vous aimez la cuisine "gastronome" vous allez adorer. Dans le style c'est un très bon restaurant.
Très belle expérience . Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre souper. Les pétoncles sont excellentes , les serveurs sympathique & courtois. Nous reviendrons & je recommande
Trop cher pour aussi peu dans l'assiette. Nous avons manger dans un autre restaurant par la suite. Meilleur ailleurs. Menu extrêmement petit. Très cher!

L'ambiance est feutrée & agréable. Les tables sont assez espacées pour plus d'intimité. Le personnel est courtois & très à l'écoute de nos besoins. Les plats sont excellents & les choix sont variés.
Très belle place. Bruyant un samedi soir. Les plats sont exquis. Carte des vins très appréciée avec de bons tarifs. Service très adéquat. Quelques inexactitudes par rapport au site internet: pas d'accès à la terrasse d'hiver pour la vue, pas la possibilité de prendre un café sur celle-ci. Sinon bravo à toute l'équipe.

Un manque dans les assaisonnements à mon goût mais personnel adorable. Des cuisines ouvertes qui permettent de voir l'effervescence des cuisines. Douillet restaurant de l'hôtel Double tree by Hilton. ++: un pudding chômeur à tombe
Had a fantastic evening at Bivouac tonight. Very much enjoyed the casually professional service, wine recommendations, & atmosphere. Had the Quebec oysters, beef tartare, lamb shank, & walleye - everything exceeded expectations. Definitely worth a visit. Will absolutely be back the next time we are in Montreal.
