Bouillon Bilk is a beautiful fine dining spot in downtown Montreal with a modern & elegant interior design. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxed & upscale meal.
We highly recommend making a reservation in advance, as it's a popular spot. While they offer a tasting menu, we weren't too hungry, so we ordered one appetizer & one main course each & both were absolutely delicious.
A great place for a refined dining experience in the city.View more

Incredible tasting menu with such varied tastes, every dish is a story delicately told! I had the 5 courses but asked to add the scallops. Staff is next-level. Highly recommend!View more

A truly unforgettable experience! Credit to the front of house & kitchen teams alike. Party of 5 adults eating the 5 & 8 course tasting menus, with discovery & traditional wine pairings. Each course was delicious & well presented. Staff were extremely welcoming & knowledgeable about dishes/ingredients/wines. The atmosphere was classy. Some of the wine pairings were, shall we say, adventurous! Well done Buillon Bilk, we look forward to dining with you again!View more

We booked a table ahead. We were a group of three.
We all ordered the 8 course tasting menu. I also ordered the 7 discovery pairings. The 8 course tasting menu was supposed to be for people who came after 8pm but they made it available for us even though we were there quite early (5.30pm).
Absolutely loved each course! They all have rich flavors. The mushrooms were really tasty, with the right amount of crispy. Among the first five courses, scallop & quail were my favorite. For dessert, the cucumber ice cream was really refreshing. Definitely recommend! For the discovery tasting, I love the last ice cider the best. Fruity flavor but not too sweet. Perfect balanceView more

Everything was really phenomenal. Waiter was very nice & accommodating. We had the tasting menu & don't like raw fish so they suggested we have scallops instead.View more

I'm making it a mission to try out the top 100 restaurants in Canada, more specifically, the ones listed in Montréal
BOUILLON BILK was nothing less than spectacular, from start to finish
Every single plate (we did the 8 course tasting menu) was full of flavour, rich umami goodness, perfectly balanced & tapered off towards the dessert. Will certainly come back when there's an updated menu.
P.S The scallops in an Oyster reduction & xo sauce has been one of the most amazing dishes I've had in my lifeView more

Delicious dishes served by very competent, friendly & professional staff. Wide ranging wine menu with knowledgable sommelier. The scallops are a must. The tasting menu is adapted to dietary restrictions. Highly recommend.View more

Everything about my experience at the restaurant was fantastic from the immediate coat service to the attentive server it felt like a Michelin tier restaurant. The tasting menu was fantastic & very artistic. The service was great I can not overstate it, from how they replaced the utensils & plates for each course, wiped the crumbs off the table, described each course, I had a great time.View more
Rebekah
Absolutely incredible good! We selected the five course tasting menu & it did not disappoint. The crab was amazing & the mocktails with each course were so fun!View more

Fantastic meal in Montreal.
I came in at opening, was seated promptly for lunch. Service overall was top notch. The staff all worked well, a harmonious dance to get all the food out.
The lunch tasting menu was amazing.
Amouse Bouche of beef tartare, which came on a deep fried potatoe, which needed to be about half the size as it over powered the tartare. The crunch however was nice & I ate it quickly.
The take on Caesar salad was perfection. The charred gen lettuce, small croutons, pickled apple & cucumber, as well as capers & light dressing was a stunner. I'll dream of this.
The main, a'salmon trout', was well thought out with a sauce I could eat by the bucket. Salmon was well cooked.
The dessert was a nice ending. A moist chocolate cake with mango, chocolate mousse & sour cream ice cream. Well done but the mango gelle may have been better served with more fresh mango.
Very happy with service & food on par with other two star Michelin restaurants I have been too (the restaurant is currently not awarded any as Montreal is currently being reviewed).View more

Great food. We did the 5 course tasting menu & everything was excellent. The drink pairings were really interesting too.View more

Must visit!! I did the 8 course tasting menu with the discovery wine pairings, which are all Canadian wines. The food was delicious, unique, & stunning. Each aspect was carefully thought out & not a detail overlooked. The staff was efficient, friendly, & perceptive. If you choose the tasting menu as well, be prepared to commit 2+ hours to fully enjoy the experience & don't drive. There's also a coat check, which alleviates the burden of the warming layers. I can't speak highly enough of this restaurant.View more

I really wanted to love it but I just did not. Nothing was bad it was just extremely underwhelming for the hype & price. Service was nice & accommodating & the food was nice but just nothing special. Potentially issue was in ordering the tasting menu as the a la carte looked great from afar. I rarely leave negative reviews but this was just not the oneView more

Our go to for fine dining in Montreal. We had the 8 course tasting menu with Canadian wine pairings. Some spectacular pairings with innovative food. Service is delightful-proper yet relaxed. Not something you can afford every day, but well worth it for that special date night.View more

The new space is very beautiful, tall ceilings. Very open airy space, a little dark but goes with the ambiance. They offer tasting menus (5 or 8 courses) as well as a La carte. As it was a special celebration, we went with the 5 course tasting menu. Just a note, the 8 courses are only available after 8 PM. The food was beautifully plated & extremely tasty! Also we were all shocked with the size of the plates. With some other restaurants, their testing menu plates can be pretty small. But here, they were generous! We definitely did not leave hungry! The lamb filled cappellini was so good, it came with mushrooms which my boyfriend hates. But he actually loved these ones which is saying A LOT! The duck was super flavorful & tender. The sauce was amazing! I am missing the picture of the dessert, which was squash-based. Standard Asian compliment for dessert: not too sweet! Lots of different texture elements making it a real treat. The service was excellent. Very attentive & polite! It was a pleasure. This place hasn't disappointed! Last time I visited was 5 years ago & this meal was even better! Definitely recommend for a special occasion!View more

Had high expectations given the fantastic reviews, but I was shocked at how bad the food was here. This was undoubtedly my worst meal in all of Montreal during my trip here & the most expensive. Service was cold & sterile. Server was not very detailed when going through the menu. When I prodded about the origin/source of some of the ingredients, our server did not seem to be interested in having that conversation, which was disappointing for a restaurant at this price point. Tried the 5-course tasting menu for dinner. Was disappointed to learn that the 8-course menu was not available for the early seating (I do not believe this was made apparent or obvious during the booking process, but it could have been my oversight), but it ended up working in our favour because each course was subpar. I ordered the non-alcoholic pairing. I am a huge fan of non-alcoholic pairings at fine-dining restaurants across the world & will usually order it when available. They are stunning when executed correctly, but this was mostly a disappointment. Kombucha was alright, but I was severely let down by the dashi drink (which was indistinguishable from instant dashi), as well as the drink paired with the squash dessert. I do have to give credit to the fact that their concoctions were made in-house, as some restaurants just serve off-the-shelf non-alcoholic drinks. Kudos to the sommelier/server serving the drinks, as they did an excellent job explaining the drinks. Onto the food - flavour combinations were uninspiring to say the least. Not going to go through the entire menu but here are some notes: Ravioli with mussels, green peas & mascarpone - basic & boring flavours, over seasoned with a sauce that was overly acidic. Duck with berries, pepper, almonds (supplemented with a slab of foie gras for an extra 20CAD) - The protein itself was cooked well. Garnishes were substandard, however. Saving grace was the foie, which was beautiful, & the among the best I've ever had. Zero balance to the dish however, & the addition of almonds was head-scratching. I did mention this to our server, but they merely chuckled & seemed again to be uninterested in hearing my opinion On the contrary, had a wonderful experience at their sister restaurant, Cadet. Perhaps I came here on an off night.View more

An extraordinary dining experience, on every level! Perhaps the best I have ever had. We had the five course tasting menu with wine pairings. Each course was highly creative, with interesting colors, textures, & flavors. . .& always incredibly delicious. We enjoyed having both the Canadian & European wine pairings. They were so very different from one another, but both complemented the food perfectly. Kudos to the sommelier, Luec, who did an amazing job! The service could not have been better. Our server, Natalia, was so welcoming & professional, which elevated our experience to an even higher level. . .truly memorable. I would return to Montreal just to dine at Bouillon Bilk!View more

A Tantalizing Experience. Bouillon Bilk is a must for those who seek an experience like no other. If you are willing to play with different flavours & textures I would highly recommend their tasting menu. An incredible assortment of dishes, uniquely curated to highlight nothing but pure flavour. We left not only satisfied but excited to have experienced such a remarkable set of flavour combinations. We will be back.View more

Finally got to try their 8 courses tasting menu & loved every part of the experience! Service was top notch, absolutely nothing to complain about - thank you Isabelle. My nut allergy was well accommodated. Food was not only visually pleasing but delicious. The ingredients tasted fresh. My favorite was the cappelletti & my husband's was the lamb tartare. They also took into consideration my note & added a candle for my husband's birthday. Very thoughtful. Would recommend this experience to everyone. A must for locals & tourists.View more

Nice place for a prix fixe tasting menu. We ordered additionally a dozen oysters & it added to the experience. This area was hard to find parking so I would suggest coming 15 minutes early.View more
