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.
I had an amazing dining experience at this restaurant! The food was exquisite & Jason was so professional & kind, with every dish perfectly prepared & beautifully presented. The ambiance was elegant yet welcoming, & the professionalism of the staff truly stood out. They were attentive, knowledgeable, & ensured that every detail was taken care of. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a top-notch culinary experience in Mtl. I will definitely be returning!
Exquisite food with great services! I am glad to try it out the first time they moved to the new venue. Hands down one of the best restaurants in Montreal

Food did not disappoint & our server was friendly & knowledgeable. Just didn't feel the overall experience was up to the same standard we've experienced at other similarly priced places
My 10 year old & I really enjoyed our food here. At first my son was disappointed with a short menu, but when he finally picked a dish, he wanted to order more ))) I also absolutely loved the scallops I got.
Bouillon Bilk was the first time I ever experience French Food. We enjoyed the 5 course meal with the 5 European wine pairing. The food was truly out of this world, I never tasted flavors like we did. Not only was the food great, the staff were amazing as well. For an upscale French Restaurant, the staff & location was warm & inviting. A must go place if you're looking to treat yourself!
Overall this restaurant was good & the service was stellar. However, the food wasn't very memorable which you would expect it to be for this price. A good restaurant for sure but didn't blow my mind.

I am normally not a big fan of fine dining as I like more casual places. But this place is amazing. The flavors & aroma festival. Very well thought creations with amazing ingredients. Duck breast, ravioli, tuna... All of them are top notch. Definitely recommended.
Simple decorations with attractive lights that make the place elegant & attractive. Ambience is pleasing & the service is friendly. However, it did take them quite a while to serve us our main courses after the appetisers. The food was fantastic. The presentation was gorgeous & they must have used high quality ingredients. The most formidable was the sauces. Although very little, the sauces had a strong impact & brought the meal to another level. Even if I wasn't full, I was satisfied by the taste of the food. As for the prices, they aren't too expensive. 24$ for the duck appetiser, 39$ for the veal meal & 12$ for the peach dessert. In my opinion, the appetiser was good but not exceptional like the main course. The dessert ended the meal splendidly. The peach ice cream was simply incredible along with the rest of the dessert plate.
What an excellent dining experience! We did the 8 course set with a non-alcoholic drink pairing as well as the Canadian wine pairing. Almost all of the non-alcoholic drinks were fantastic (the mushroom kombu beverage was not good at all however) & the wine was expertly paired. The food was well thought out, beautifully presented, & had great flavours. It was contemporary but had classic but elevated flavours. Service was fantastic & the ambiance was okay. The food was the highlight of the experience, however, we would have opted for the 5-course instead of the 8-course in hindsight. The 3 additional dishes that we got as part of the 8-course were our least favourite (beets, trout, & chocolate). I would come back for a special occasion sometime. Prices are fair, & we left feeling quite full! 9.2/10!
Juste divin. Immédiatement dans le top 3 de mes restaurants de toute ma vie, que ce soit au niveau du service, des vins, de la nourriture, de l'ambiance, du prix, Bouillon Bilk est juste parfait. Chaque bouchée est une explosion de gout & d'originalité. C'est sans aucun doute le restaurant que je recommande le plus à Montréal.
Mon fils m'a invité pour la fête des mères pour la dégustation 8 services, c'était extraordinaire, tellement bon, service impeccable, c'est définitivement mon restaurant favori, le seul bémol les lumières sont trop tamisées on voit moins bien les couleurs dans l'assiette.
