Bouillon Albert s'est rapidement imposé comme une destination prisée pour ceux qui recherchent une expérience de bistrot français authentique et abordable à Montréal. De nombreux clients louent la qualité des classiques du menu comme les escargots, le confit de canard, l'os à moelle et le très recommandé riz au lait, soulignant souvent un excellent rapport qualité-prix. L'ambiance est fréquemment décrite comme chaleureuse, accueillante et animée, rappelant celle d'un bouillon parisien traditionnel, bien que certains convives notent que l'espace peut devenir bruyant et étroit lors des heures de grande affluence. Si la majorité des avis mettent en avant un service attentionné et professionnel, quelques clients ont fait état d'incohérences dans l'accueil ou d'expériences culinaires n'ayant pas atteint leurs attentes personnelles. La réservation est fortement recommandée en raison de la forte affluence et, malgré quelques retours concernant la taille des portions ou le niveau sonore, beaucoup de visiteurs expriment le souhait de revenir pour de futurs repas.
Very good French food. The onion soup was lovely, & so were the escargot. A friend got steak frites & it was not good. It was burnt & the meat was tough, even though he asked for medium done.
Great service, super friendly staff.
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.
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.
