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.
Le Bouillon Albert propose une cuisine française de bistrot traditionnelle à prix très raisonnables, dans une ambiance chaleureuse et conviviale souvent décrite comme authentique et réconfortante. Parmi les plats les plus appréciés figurent le canard confit, l'onglet, les escargots, le tartare, la raie au beurre noir, les ravioles, la soupe de poisson, le millefeuille à la verveine, le riz au lait et les profiteroles, accompagnés d'un choix de vins et de cocktails jugé bien pensé. Le service est fréquemment salué comme chaleureux et attentif, même si quelques expériences mentionnent des lenteurs, des oublis ou des soucis d'organisation, et que certains espaces peuvent être bruyants ou peu climatisés. Dans l'ensemble, l'endroit est perçu comme une adresse française authentique et accessible, avec une carte généreuse et des portions à vérifier selon les plats, et beaucoup de clients repartent enthousiastes et prêts à revenir.
Nous étions un petit groupe de 6 personnes pour souper un dimanche soir. De l'accueil au repas, tout a été parfait. Le menu n'est pas exhaustif mais la nourriture est excellente. Ça nous a couté environ 75$ par personne mais, le rapport qualité/prix est vraiment très bon. On y retournera, c'est certain.
Beau restaurant!
La décoration est élégante. Le sevice est top, les serveurs sont vraiment agréables, gentils, droles.
Pas de musique à tue tête! On s'entend parler, un luxe!
La nourriture est excellente, si j'avais un bmol à dire c'est juste faire attention à la cuisson du poisson, la raie était rosée.
Les portions sont parfaites, les desserts, gourmands
Nous avons passé un excellent moment
Niveau prix: c'est très correct (entre 20-28) pour le plat, dessert (8-10dol)
Vraiment j'y retournerai sans hesiter.
Un super resto de quartier!
One of my favourite discoveries on my annual August Montreal trip. It was so good that it was the only restaurant I tried to go three times in a month but alas they were closed on Labour Day for a much deserved rest. I guess I'll have to keep dreaming about the escargot & skate wing & rice pudding until my next visit!
We were there to celebrate a birthday. Our server was great! The food was so delicious. I loved the roasted bone marrow, escargot, leeks with hazelnut vinaigrette, & steak frites. My family enjoyed the ravioli, duck confit, trout. The desserts were excellent too. The rice pudding tasted phenomenal. The profiteroles & mille feuille were so yummy too. The ambience was so nice. I would love to come here again.
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 😉
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.
