We lucked out had a great table. Host was very welcoming. Starters were os à moelle ,tatare , escargots & lobster bisque. Main hanger steaks & fries one was perfect rare
one was medium well instead of medium , the skate with fries was outstanding.
& blanquette de veau also . Great profiteroles .
Everything was on point good bistro fare although some dishes slightly over salty.
Price was reasonable ambiance lighting & acoustics were surprisingly good for a packed room. Our wines were perfect recommended White mousseux & a cabernet. We will definitely return .

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

The team behind Grinder knocked it out of the park again. Every dish was delicious 10/10. My fav - the Russian salad, the vol au vent & ravioli dauphine. Very cosy atmosphere, tasty cocktails & a great wine list curated by a well versed som. The prices were very approachable. Would highly recommend.

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

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€.
