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.

This is an excellent restaurant. I highly recommend it. Here are my personal impressions for your reference: As soon as you enter, the front desk efficiently & courteously greets & seats you. The waitstaff promptly arrives to introduce the dishes in detail & helps indecisive guests choose their meals. Each dish is briefly introduced when served. Every dish is exceptionally delicious & meticulously prepared, & it's evident they strive to ensure the temperature of the food is just right. This is quite impressive. The waitstaff seem to have a sixth sense-they can anticipate your needs when you look up or stand up & immediately offer assistance, even without needing to make eye contact. This left a strong impression on me! At the same time, you don't have to worry about the staff being overly enthusiastic & interrupting your conversation. They generally remain in a quiet standby mode, closely observing the guests' movements. Overall, this is an excellent restaurant with delicious food & an enjoyable dining experience. I give it five stars!

Juste sublime. Un équilibre parfait des saveurs & les cuissons sont parfaites. Les pétoncles sont un must. Le canard est délectable. Enfin, je réserve déjà pour ma fille. Bravo

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.
