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 a very pleasant surprise after visiting this cozy restaurant with my fiancee for our anniversary. We took the tasting menu with 8 services & we were blown away by the quality of the food. Everything was flavourful & well cooked. Highly recommended!
Quelle belle expérience ! Tout était succulent, allant de plats plus délicats (tartare de veau & crabe au daïkon) à des plats plus riches (cappelletti & le contre-filet). Les textures & saveurs des plats s'agencent à merveille avec l'accord de vins européens. Premier riesling polonais & pinot noir allemand pour moi ; belles réussites Magnifiques rioja pour le boeuf & meursault pour les pâtes. Que dire du Sauternes pour le dessert.. top. Le service était à point & belle ambiance Vrmt une belle soirée overall. Une des belles tables de Montréal à mon humble avis amateur.

Nous avons pris le menu dégustation avec les accords de vins canadiens & européens. Chacun des cinq services était unique goûteux & bien balancé. Les vins rehaussent les saveurs des repas. Le service était impeccable, avec mention spéciale à la sommelière qui était très sympa. Belle ambiance.
Incredible experience I asked for a 5 course vegetarian meal that was unlisted but probably one of the best meals I've ever had. They were very accommodating.

Food was so delicious! They offer a very flexible lunchtime tasting menu (you just pay the difference). The vegetarian options were wonderful. Service was excellent. Highly recommend a visit for anyone in Montreal.
Our most delicious dinner in Montreal. I am surprised that this place is not in the Michelin guide at least, since the serving dishes, taste & service are at a high level. & this is at relatively inexpensive prices. Scallops with shiitake, beef with snails & veal tartare were super delicious. I was just ready to lick the plates. I tried out the 5 course menu for 105 CAD & it was amazing amount of food! Unfortunately, I forgot the name of the waitress, but thank her so much for a wonderful evening.
I was expecting a lot more from this restaurant. I had the 5 course tasting menu. It started off okay. I was amazed with the ravioli... just wow! Unfortunately, that momentum didn't cary through. The main was good, but the portion was too small & it didn't feel properly balanced. The dessert was extremely disappointing. The ganache tasted like melted chocolate ice cream & the crème anglaise tasted like plain cream. The service was very good. They were kind & attentive. I don't think I would go there again.
