Expérience impeccable du début à la fin. Que ce soit l'hospitalité du patron Arthur ou les conseils en vin de son partenaire Jean-Alexandre, tout y était. Saveurs, décors, propreté & service hors-pair, voici ce qui vous attend. J'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner en bonne compagnie 😉

Delicious rich & buttery french food without breaking the bank!

Food was excellent - thoughtful, flavourful, very well done. The only surprise was the by-the-glass wine choices. When I asked the server for something fresh & crisp, I was offered a Viognier, then a Viognier/Chardonnay blend. Given the strength of the full list, it felt like an odd & very pedestrian direction compared to what I'd expect in Montreal where leaner, more mineral-driven whites are common. It also left me wondering if assumptions were being made about my preferences.

Bouillon Albert is a small wood & amber-clad space with intimate seating that offers a variety of small & larger plates of French bistro flavors done well & at affordable prices.
The Russian-style egg was simple yet well executed. The roasted bone marrow was rich, indulgent, & a great value for the price. The skate wing was moist & flaky, & paired with a zingy & aromatic brown butter sauce with lemon & capers.
The highlight of the meal was the dessert of rice pudding, creamy & deeply decadent with candied pecans that added a wonderful textural contrast. Every mouthful left me wanting more.
Overall, I was satisfied with my experience at Bouillon Albert & I am interested to come back to try what else they have to offer.

This new French restaurant offers a charming ambiance with dim lighting & an intimate atmosphere even with the hustle & bustle. The service was friendly, prompt, & attentive. The food exceeded my expectations, especially given the more affordable price point. The duck was my favourite dish, cooked to perfection & tenderly coming off the bone. The ravioli came close, with its perfect texture & flavour. The entrees were also delicious & so was the wine. The meal ended on a great note with the pecan rice pudding dessert, which was so rich & addictive. I would however skip on steak frites, which I thought were just ok. Otherwise, totally recommend giving this spot a try!

I happened upon the Albert, the windows were open to the street, the lighting / atmosphere seemed quite inviting, & there was a good crowd. I was able to get a seat at the bar. The noise level inside was quite soft, unlike so many restaurants today. The menu was full of compelling Bistro items. My meal was enjoyable in every way: perfectly imagined & prepared, each dish the perfect temperature, & the pacing between courses was also perfect, not rushed. I had enjoyable vin blanc with my meal, but the'signature' cocktails they were making also looked good. Service was wonderfully friendly & professional. I hope to get back here during my current visit.

classic bistro, comfortable, lively & casual, good atmosphere overall. staff were super welcoming, & the food was quick. great location if you're looking to try some hearty french food.
we enjoyed all of the items we ordered, with the oeuf mayonnaise being the most average. the most stellar being the escargot & duck confit, extremely well cooked & flavourful.
they do not have AC in the summer so just be mindful of how sweaty you will be, we managed fine.

The service was really nice & the spot makes for a cute date spot. It was really noisy with the windows open though.
The prices are fair but portions kind of small.
The food is okay, nothing really blew me away. Ordered the tartare, ravioli & profiteroles after seeing the great reviews about them. While they weren't bad, they just didn't leave much of an impression on me. The profiteroles especially were pretty dry like they were old.
While I appreciate having a more affordable restaurant in the area, I think I'd rather go down to l'Express & have something more substantial.

Affordable & more importantly delicious French restaurant!

The night before, we were celebrating our anniversary, & the manager at another restaurant recommended this place. We were looking for something local, French, & with a good vibe - this totally delivered.
We showed up at 5:30 PM on a Monday, thinking it'd be quiet. Nope. The place was already buzzing, & by 7 PM it was packed. Luckily, they managed to seat us - & we're so glad they did.
Let's talk food: absolutely delicious. Classic French bistro with a little something extra. We had the escargot, Russian eggs, & bone marrow to start - all outstanding. For mains, we went with the duck confit, steak frites, & ravioli. We also order the mash potatoes (really amazing) green beans, & mushrooms. Every bite was fantastic. We were pretty full, but we decided to share a rice pudding on their recommendation. It was awesome!
Don't hesitate - just make a reservation. This place is clearly a local favorite.

We enjoyed the food & drinks but we were sweating like pigs. Downing water where the poor server kept refilling & the ice melted faster than we can drink it. I got a few mosquito bites so the mosquitos were dining on me whike i was enjoying my share of food lol. No air conditioning is my only complaint!!

J'y suis allée avec 5 collègues & l'accueil était très sympa, un très bon service, merci aux serveurs pour tous leurs conseils. Les plats étaient excellents & le restaurant est très bien situé, on se dirait sur une terrasse parisienne. Bravo pour l'ambiance !

The atmosphere is pleasant & the menu offers well-executed French classics at very reasonable prices. We particularly enjoyed the bone marrow, which was a generous & delicious portion. Every dish we tried was flavourful & satisfying, offering excellent value for the quality. It's a lovely place that we would happily recommend

Simplement parfait. Prix incroyable pour des faveurs extraordinaires.
Bouillon style restaurants in Paris are by far my favourite type. Loads of beautiful dishes for great prices. This place was no different, so glad they opened a place with this concept in Montreal. Food was BEAUTIFUL & delicious we tried half the menu. Excuse my horrible pics I was way too excited & didn't even take pics of most the food we ate lol.
Highly recommend the fish, the poireaux, & all the sides!

J'y suis allé deux fois, j'y retourne pour une troisième ce soir. Très bonne bouffe, incroyable service & belle ambiance! Très abordable pour la qualité!
