Since 2011, Bouillon Bilk has been this simple place where we welcome people from the neighborhood for their business lunch, for their before or after show or for their desire to have a good time at any time.
Overall, Bouillon Bilk is viewed as a refined, modern Montreal dining destination where inventive tasting menus and a strong wine program are consistently highlighted. Guests praise precise execution, thoughtful textures, and the sense that ingredients are showcased with care, with several courses described as beautiful and memorable. The tasting menu with wine or discovery pairings is repeatedly singled out as exceptional, and the service is praised for being attentive, professional, and friendly, with sommeliers delivering strong recommendations. Standout dishes frequently mentioned include scallops, duck, quail, foie gras, and seafood creations, while some reviewers note occasional missteps such as overly salty or heavy dishes, or desserts that don’t land, and a few critique the pace or warmth of the ambiance. The atmosphere is often described as elegant and minimalist, sometimes cool or chilly, though improvements after relocating are noted by some for more space and better flow. While price levels are regularly flagged as high, many feel the quality and experience justify the cost, especially for special occasions. In sum, Bouillon Bilk comes across as a top choice for food lovers seeking refined, creative cuisine, strong beverages, and standout service in Montreal, with a few caveats about value and mood depending on the visit.
Souper d'anniversaire mémorable avec une magnifique présentation des plats. Nous n'avons pas opté pour le menu dégustation, mais plutôt pour une belle variété de plats à partager. L'attention aux détails est remarquable, la qualité des aliments est irréprochable & les saveurs sont parfaitement au rendez-vous.
Notre serveuse, Joanie, a été aux petits soins tout au long de la soirée & nous a offert d'excellentes recommandations, notamment pour le vin. L'option des verres de 2,5 oz est vraiment géniale : elle permet de découvrir & savourer plusieurs choix sans excès.
Seul petit bémol : j'aurais aimé avoir davantage de variété au niveau des desserts.
Une expérience extraordinaire ! Tout était absolument parfait du début à la fin. Chaque bouchée était succulente, avec un mélange de saveurs parfaitement équilibré. On sent la qualité des produits & le soin apporté à chaque plat. Je recommande vivement !

Mon fils m'a offert une belle sortie au restaurant de mon choix: J'ai choisi le magnifique Bouillon Bilk!
Service impeccable. Parfait même!
Ambiance chaleureuse & calfeutrée, parfaite pour passer un bon moment. Les plats sont audacieux & pleins de saveurs, la musique agréable accompagne parfaitement l'expérience. Mention spéciale pour les cocktails, tout simplement incroyables. Une très belle adresse que je recommande vivement. Merci pour ces beaux moments & cette expérience gustative inoubliable! ❤?
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.
Bouillon Bilk offre une expérience culinaire raffinée dans un cadre moderne & élégant au coeur de Montréal. Les saveurs des plats sont impeccablement équilibrées & mettent en valeur un savoir-faire évident en cuisine. Bien que le décor soit agréable, il pourrait gagner en chaleur & en caractère pour correspondre pleinement à la qualité des mets proposés.
Lors de notre visite, nous avons opté pour un plat principal & une entrée, & les deux étaient excellents. Le dessert, bien que créatif, manquait peut-être de simplicité, avec un peu trop d'éléments à l'assiette. Un lieu très prisé, il est recommandé de réserver à l'avance. En somme, Bouillon Bilk est une table à découvrir pour une expérience gastronomique de qualité, avec un léger potentiel d'amélioration pour atteindre l'excellence.
The service was five Star. What ever you ask they will do for you. I recommend it & the food is a five star Michelin. You must try restaurants in Montreal. I have eating in many restaurants but this in is one off the Best. You must bring your special one hear.
Pricy but worth it. If you want to have a gourmet experience that's the place to go, get the 5 or 8 course meal with agood bottle of wine. Excellent for special occasions, first dates or any occasion where you want to impress. The service is very attentive & the food is heavenly. I strongly recommend!
Très belle expérience sur l'heure du lunch au Bouillon Bilk! Nous avons pris la table d'hôte à $60 & nous n'avons pas été déçu. L'amuse bouche au poisson était très bon, la soupe de carotte juste incroyable, le canard bien cuit & tendre & le dessert très rafraîchissant! Je recommande grandement pour un bon & beau moment gastronomique!
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.

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!
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 balance
Expérience toujours des plus agréables au fils des ans. Qualité, service impeccable & nourriture de haut standard. Un endroit à recommander aux plus exigeants BRAVO!!

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.
Une ambiance calme & feutrée dans un restaurant en plein milieu de la ville. Nous avons adoré l'intimité du lieu, le service incroyable & les plats délicieux.
Je recommande d'essayer les pétoncles!
