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.
Absolutely the highlight of our trip. The food, service & atmosphere are all top notch. We ordered a La carte & enjoyed every bite: oysters, butternut squash ravioli, scallops, duck & clementine dessert. Each dish was prepared with the utmost attention to detail & incredible fusion of flavors. Our waitress described every dish prior to us ordering & when the dishes came, another explanation was given, which really allowed us to appreciate every bite. Highly recommend visiting if you're in Montreal!!
Went here for a business lunch. The setting was good, the service was attentive & not overwhelming. Portions of food was adequate & was filling. They have some local wines which was average & ok tasty. Parking isn't so bad if it's not during festival seasons. I would recommend for an easy business lunch or a little treat for yourself.
27eme bougie soufflée au Bouillon Bilk ! Tout était parfait & incroyable. Merci à toute l’équipe salle & cuisine & surtout un grand merci a Krystelle, Minh & le maître d’hôtel pour un service inégalable.
Je recommande la basse côte, l’île flottante & surtout le baba chocolat & truffe.
Milles mercis & à bientôt !

Je ne sais par où commencer... 🥺 Nous avons choisi le Bouillon Bilk pour célébrer l'anniversaire de ma copine, & notre expérience a été tout simplement exceptionnelle.
Dès notre arrivée, le Maître d'hôtel nous a pris en charge de manière impeccable, malgré le restaurant complet. L'ambiance était tout simplement parfaite. Deux places au bar se sont libérées, & c'est là que Krystelle au bar a fait preuve d'un service exceptionnel. Minh, le sommelier, a surpassé nos attentes en nous recommandant non seulement des vins parfaits, mais aussi d'autres restaurants à essayer à Montréal.
Quant à la nourriture, elle était tout simplement incroyable. J'ai opté pour le cerf en spécial, tandis que ma compagne a savouré des basses côtes de bœuf. Les desserts étaient à couper le souffle, tout comme la sélection de vins qui nous a été proposée.
Je recommande le Bouillon Bilk à quiconque cherche une expérience gastronomique exceptionnelle à tous égards. C'était une soirée mémorable que nous n'oublierons jamais. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter. Bravo à toute l'équipe pour cette expérience inoubliable. Nous serons de retour...
My husband & I went there for my birthday dinner. It was an amazing experience. We had their 5 course tasting menu. They were very accommodating & catered to my vegetarian needs. My husband had their usual one. Our server Natalia was very helpful throughout. They presented & explained all of the dishes very well. & we simply loved all of them. Being a popular place, it was totally packed. So do make a reservation well in advance. Highly recommend for a fine dine experience!
Ce restaurant passe inaperçu de la rue: pas de bannières lumineuses, que des baies vitrées sobres. À l'intérieur, un décor moderne & simpliste, mais chic & de bon goût. C'est à l'image du menu & de la carte des vins (avec importantions privées).
À cause de circonstances exceptionnelles & imprévues, nous étions pressés puisqu'un de nos convives devait quitter "tôt". Arrivés à 20h15, nous avons mangé sans stress & régler nos factures pour 22h30. Le repas était délicieux, chacun était satisfait & rassasié des plats pas copieux mais généreux. Le service était parfait: adapté à la situation, courtois, efficace, discret.
À ne pas négliger: deux sommeliers sont disponibles pour suggérer des accords vins & mets.
Bref: tout est bon. Gâtez-vous avec du foie gras, les pétoncles aussi sont exquis.
