8-course tasting was delicious start to end, no misses.

The beef tartare was a big surprise for me & my husband. The addition of clam & kimchi really made that memorable.

The duck, will be dreaming of it, love the addition of rhubarb, oh & that duck wonton!

The crab, the white asparagus - such great flavor pairings on the plate.

Highly recommend!

Excellent tasting menu with well balanced flavours. Dishes were elegant, light & refreshing. This was probably my favourite restaurant I tried in Montreal & one of the few where the sauces on the food were not too salty! The cocktails were excellent as well. They also have a non-alcoholic drink pairing with the tasting menu which sounded very good, but I did not try it. Highly recommend.

Great restaurant! My partner & I went here for the 5 course tasting menu & I can honestly say it is some of the best food I have ever had!

You can tell the chefs really put a lot of thought into the composition of the dishes & the order in which you eat them. All the flavours & aromas blend together seamlessly & the quality of the ingredients could be tasted.

My one slight criticism is that the restaurant itself is not as interesting as the menu. It's just a basic dining hall with simple tables & a simple modern setup. However, definitely don't miss out on the food just because of this!

The servers were also so on top of it. We never poured ourselves wine from our bottle once. They were always attending to us & explaining each dish.

Highly recommend!

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.

Excellent experience with my spouse last week - we both raved about the cauliflower soup that was rich & super smooth. She had the hangar steak that was served rare (presumably sous vide) & I had the arctic char - excellent presentation & superb flavors. Highly recommend!

We made reservations at Bouillon Bilk ln the same day on a weekday & we are so happy we went! The interior is dim so if you have poor eyesight, you might need to use your phone for it's brightness. The menu says 8 course is from 8pm onwards but we were told that because it's a weekday & not too busy, we could do the 8 courses. The appetizers were delicious & made us very excited for the mains. The cod was so good & flakey. It was cooked perfectly & the flavors were amazing. The lamb was my husband's favorite. The duck is duck breast & a duck heart. I've never seen duck heart served in a restaurant before so that was very interesting. It was actually more tender than the duck breast! The green apple dessert was tart & definitely a palate cleanser. The pear dessert's sorbet component was a big hit. It was light & full of pear flavor. We were celebrating our anniversary & Bouillon Bilk was kind enough to put candles on our dessert. The staff are very patient & kind. Highly recommend Bouillon Bilk!!

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.

This is one of the best tables in Montreal & I stand by it - I've been dining at Bouillon Bilk for almost 10 years. If you like scallops, their version is a classic for a reason. Always perfectly cooked & paired with seasonal vegetables. Keep the bread to pick up all the delicious sauces that come with the dish. All the other entrees & main are good, creative & beautiful to look at. The service is premium - I never got a bad wine pairing with my meal. I highly recommend!

I've done the 8 course meal with the wine pairing twice at this place. Each time it's been an incredibly memorable experience & a gastronomic delight. Cannot recommend highly enough.

It was our first time going to a fine dining restaurant like this, & we were very happy with the service, food & atmosphere, & their attention to detail is exquisite, They were very attentive to my allergies as we couldn't order from the taste menu due to my long list of allergies, we did the a la carte & the food was delicious, I would love to go again & Highly recommend this restaurant
