An amazing dining experience from start to finish! The steak was cooked perfectly, the fries were crispy, & the escargots were absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was warm & elegant, & the service was friendly & attentive. Everything was so good that we finished every last bite! Definitely a five-star experience-we'll be back!
Excellent service courtois avec « Rim . » souriante & très sympathique : bonne suggestion du menu soit:
Poireaux vinaigrette (10/10) ça fond dans la bouche.
Escargots (10/10) les meilleurs que j'ai mangés à ce jour.
Ensuite, Foie de veau à la Lyonnaise : tellement bon (par contre, je l'aurais un peu plus chaud) sinon c'est un 9/10, pour moi.
Pour la Cuisse de canard confit, encore là, saveurs & cuisson exceptionnels. (10/10).
On s'est gardé de la place pour les Profiteroles, , non mais, y'a rien de meilleur que çà! (10/10) (j'aurais pris un peu pluss de sauce au chocolat 😊
Pour ce qui est de la Limonade, elle est pétillante, très bonne mais je préfère non pétillante (8/10). Un verre de vin blanc en fût, très bon.
Enfin des prix convenables pour une bonne cuisine… 💙
Très belle expérience, les portions sont parfaites pour nous.
Excellent service & Accueil attentionné (place de choix : près d'un ventilateur (faisait chaud & humide) il a même baissé le store pour nous éviter d'avoir le soleil ds les yeux…
Snagged in by the French onion soup. Very much enjoyed the trout & green beans. Pleasant service, accommodating in English. The bar is well-thought out - snuggle spots for couples, comfortable for solo diners. My barneighbour's escargot smelled heavenly & the steak looked perfect.
We had a lovely meal. We shared an escargot, salad & the ouef mayonnaise a la Russe. All were very good. I had the blood sausage & my husband had the duck confit for mains. Both were good but not excellent. We had the house rosè which was very nice & the service was great. We were too full for dessert. We'll likely return & try different mains or just stick to starters.
Classic French bistro where you know exactly what you're getting. No surprises, just everything executed well & true to what it should be. The escargots, the hanger steak, the duck breast & the rice pudding are all really good. You eat well from start to finish, entrée, main, dessert.
On m'a recommandé ce restaurant. Probablement pour sa facade. La cuisine était très fade, que ce soit la bisque, les escargots, pourtant pas très compliqué à préparer. La raie était insipide & mal cuite, & le millefeuille ne valait malheureusement pas grand chose , du feuilleté à la ganache qui ne goûtait que le vide.
Seul le décor instagramable était au rdv.
Quand au service, un sourire ou un semblant d'ambiguïté n'aurait pas été de trop..
Nous y sommes aller un soir, mon copain & moi!
Service attentionné & agréable, menu varié & délicieux, cadre sympathique à la française..
Nous avions pris :
- entrées: escargots 🐌 & rillettes
- plats: raies, champignons au pastis, raviolis au compté 🧀
- dessert : mille feuille que nous avions partagé !
Nous recommandons vivement & nous reviendrons ! 💯💯💯 (je vous recommande de réserver en ligne, les places se remplissent vites!!)
We had such a good time at Bouillon Albert! The service was swift, friendly staff & great atmosphere - the lighting, music, noise levels were all perfect. The food was delicious!
The only thing I can think of improving would be to have two pronged snail forks for the escargot instead of bamboo skewers. But if that's all I have to complain about, you can tell it's a pretty fantastic place hitting the mark with their appetizers, mains, & dessert.
Nous sommes allés au Bouillon Albert afin de nous remémorer nos souvenirs de Paris. Laissez moi vous dire que c'est même meilleur que celui de France, car il y a la touche d'amour québécoise que nous adorons tous !!!! Pour 100$ vous en avez assez pour une excellente soirée. Je recommande l'entrée aux escargots qui est un incontournable & le canard confit !!!!
