Bouillon Albert est né d'une passion pour la cuisine conviviale et d'un désir de recréer l'atmosphère chaleureuse des bouillons parisiens. Nous nous inspirons de la simplicité et de l'authenticité des tables françaises, tout en ajoutant une touche moderne et locale, à l'image de la diversité du Plateau Mont-Royal.

The best French onion soup I've had (including the ones in France!), & the rice pudding is a must as well!
Brian
Authentic French food & lived up to its expectations! Service was very kind & friendly. I personally have never been to Paris France before but I have seen these things online overseas, i feel like this restaurant will help you feeling not-left-out if you crave what is on the menu. I had a glass of rosé which wasn't the best glass of wine ever, but nonetheless good.
The beef tartare was on point, very well presented & yummy in flavour. I also recommend the escargot & if you want extra bread & butter, it's no extra cost. The servers will gladly assist you with a second round or so.
The hanger steak frites also hit the nail on the head, cooked to medium. Was well on point. The green sauce for the steak reminded me of the viral video of the Parisian resto where they had the AYCE steak&frites in paris & replicated the same, looking the same. Thanks for making this in Montreal, Bouillon Albert!
The rice pudding for dessert was very very hearty & a bit heavy but was worth a try. My dinner was delicious. I've been to Chez Alexandre in Downtown MTL & I personally find BOUILLON ALBERT to be more affordable & better in quality food

Everything about this place is on point: food, service, vibes, all impeccable.
If you want to try classic French food in an unfussy atmosphere with terrific wine & cocktails, this is your place.
Pictured is the ravioles du dauphiné, which I tried for the first time & was absolutely fantastic.

Delicious rich & buttery french food without breaking the bank!

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!

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.

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.

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

We had a wonderful dinner!
The food was delicious, even though the restaurant was full, the food arrived hot & quickly.
We sat at the bar, the bartender was very professional & polite. (Spoke perfectly French & English).
Super recommend!

I discovered Bouillon Albert a little over two weeks ago, & I've already been twice, which isn't something I usually do. The restaurant is new, but it's run by the same owners who previously operated the tartare steak spot that used to be there. That said, the experience now is completely different! & much improved! The service, in particular, has taken a huge step forward. It's attentive without being overbearing, & the staff seem genuinely proud of what they're offering.
The menu is a little short, yes ... but it's focused. It stays true to the spirit of a traditional bouillon: classic French comfort food, simply prepared, reasonably priced, & made to feel approachable rather than pretentious. Everything I've tasted so far was well cooked, well balanced, & presented with care. You can tell the kitchen is aiming for quality & quantity, & it shows.
What really caught me off guard was the pricing. It's shockingly affordable ! In the best possible way! In today's dining landscape, it's rare to find a place that offers this level of execution at such reasonable prices. That's exactly what a bouillon should be.
Now for the highlights. The rillettes de tours is a standout, light, delicate, & beautifully seasoned. The millefeuille à la verveine honestly blew me away! crisp, airy layers with just the right amount of herbal sweetness. & I know it sounds simple, but the mashed potatoes deserve a mention too, smooth, buttery, & perfectly seasoned. When even the mash is memorable, you know you're in good hands.
I'm really glad this place opened up. It's unpretentious, thoughtful, & delivers far more than the price point would suggest. I'll definitely be going back - probably sooner rather than later.

We walked by on a Monday night & this spot looked great! Snagged a bar counter reservation for an hour later. We ordered beef tartare, duck confit, the small portion of the roasted chicken, & the cheese plate for dessert. Classic French bistro menu & the food was textbook perfect. Wonderful cocktails & wines. Loved the ambiance too. We were surrounded by others on dates, groups of good friends celebrating, & casual business dinners. Everyone was having a good time. The bartender was really friendly & let us try a few different wines they had open too. It was a cool bonus that some were from QC & the cheeses were all from QC. Highly recommend this spot!
Steve
This is one of those rare places that just gets it right without trying too hard. The host greets you with genuine warmth, the seating is cozy, & the service strikes that perfect balance, friendly without being intrusive, helpful without upselling.
We started with the oeuf mayonnaise à la Russe, beef tartare, & escargots in parsley butter. classic French starters, each executed nicely. For mains, we had the raie au beurre noir & the Dauphiné ravioli with Comté cheese, both comforting, well-seasoned, & generously portioned.
The wine? A solid Petit Manou Médoc 2020, & it clocked in under $100.
No complaints here. good food, good wine, good vibes. I'll be back.

If you blindfolded me, sat me down at Bouillon Albert, & told me I was in the 11th arrondissement of Paris-I'd believe you.
I've eaten at some of the most iconic bistros across France, & somehow, this spot in Montreal holds its own… no, surpasses many of them.
We tried everything on the menu. Every single dish. Not out of gluttony, but because it felt like a sin to stop. The escargots? Textbook perfect-garlicky, buttery, with just the right bite. The fish soup? Transported me straight to Marseille. The cassoulet? Rich, comforting, layered. Even the rotisserie chicken was so deeply seasoned & tender it felt like it had a story to tell.
The mille-feuille with verbena? I'd fly back to Montreal just for that.
Profiteroles with hot chocolate sauce? Criminally good.
The room feels alive-warm lighting, the open kitchen, the casual elegance. You're not just eating here, you're having a full-on cinematic French dining experience.
This isn't a trendy reimagining of French cuisine-it's the real deal, with love, guts, & soul behind every dish. Bouillon Albert is an instant classic. I'll be dreaming about this place until I return-& trust me, I will.

We tried 10 different menu items plus a bottle of wine which the server recommended: everything was absolutely on point. We ordered without looking at the prices, & we're expecting a punch in the budget: quite the opposite! Finally, an authentic French resto, in every sense. I highly recommend

Worth the hype!!! Now one of my fave French restaurants in Mtl
Cynthia
The idea of an affordable dinner in Montreal is mostly utopic. This restaurant seems to propose simple dishes, with cheaper than usual prices, the way "Bouillon Chartier" would do in Paris. 9$ average for appetizers, 26$ average for main, 9$ for sides & 8-10$ for desserts. Additionally, a glass of "pressurized" Canadian wine would cost 9$. Seems like quite a catch right? Well here's the downside. You need to account for a total minimum 75$ per person to be really quenched (150$/couple, incl. tax & tip). Why? A main dish is literally a piece of meat in a dish. You have to have sides. The Canadian wine? If you enjoy ordinary non-cheap wine, you'd probably wanna reconsider for a 16$ glass of basic French wine (price not included on the menu by the way). I really enjoyed the food, don't get me wrong. However, I was disappointed because it is typical of what I would pay in any good to high end restaurant in Montreal, so why the claim behind the term "Bouillon"? A Bouillon is a spacious restaurant in Paris where people queue because it is ridiculously cheap & portions are really generous. Bouillon Chartier in France costs 20€ per person (40€/couple), including half a bottle of wine, a main with some accompaniment, sides & a dessert which costs 3€.

Let me start with saying this is going to be my new spot for cocktails. If you wanna do anything good for yourself, get the Petit Bijou & the Julep cocktails. Some of the best I've ever had. The bone marrow was exactly like the bone marrow I had at Chez Savy in Paris. Really took me back. Escargots on point. The mains were excellent. The compté ravioli was amazing & the duck confit was great. If you like French cuisine this is it. Also I can never remember the names of drinks or even the plates I had so this place left a mark on me. Highly recommend.
