Overall, Bouillon Bilk emerges as a standout choice for food lovers seeking creativity, quality ingredients, and a sophisticated dining journey that often warrants a return visit.
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!
Dommage que l'ambiance du restaurant soit très froid & ordinaire. Même que ça sent pas très bon. Ça fait un peu cafétéria. Il devrait ajouter des nappes blanche & refaire la décoration, ça changerait tout !
La nourriture est cependant exceptionnelle.

I am fortunate enough to eat in restaurants all over the world, & this was the best meal I have had in a long time. Very thoughtful & creative combinations that seem I probably but somehow work like magic. The sommelier did a great job with the Discovery pairings, as well -- very fun & interesting!
The new location is stunning! The food was minblowing!! Best food I've ever had (counting michelin start restaurants). The 8 course menu was insanely good
A truly unforgettable experience! Credit to the front of house & kitchen teams alike. Party of 5 adults eating the 5 & 8 course tasting menus, with discovery & traditional wine pairings. Each course was delicious & well presented. Staff were extremely welcoming & knowledgeable about dishes/ingredients/wines. The atmosphere was classy. Some of the wine pairings were, shall we say, adventurous! Well done Buillon Bilk, we look forward to dining with you again!
Meilleur restaurant de Montréal. Nous avons testé à 2 reprises le menu 8 services & à chaque fois, nous avons adoré tous les plats. Aucune fausse note.

The experience was great, the food was good but also not extremely memorable like wow I need this, I want it, I got to have it in my mouth again vibes.
I dined here on Sunday, May 25th during a recent visit to Montreal. I thought the food was executed very well. Almost perfect. Would have like to have seen a little more creativity & pushing the envelope, but there's never anything wrong with keeping it simple & executing it perfectly. I just wasn't really wowed by anything I had...apart from the foams & broths. The front of house service however, leaves VERY little to be desired. There were multiple times between courses where my guest & I were waiting for silverware as our food sat on the table. Also I had gotten up to use the bathroom & expected to find my napkin folded over my chair like most fine dining establishments, that was not the case. & in the most infuriating example, when my guest was looking for a white wine & wanted the white burgundy, the server repeated said that was more expensive. I'm having an 8 course tasting, I know how much the wine is, & I don't care. I've dined in many fine dining establishments, for work, academia, & pleasure. All-in-all, I think the food is great, but everything else is mid...I don't think I'll be returning, nor will I suggest this place to anyone else.
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
Le repas était excellent : des plats raffinés, bien exécutés, avec de belles saveurs. Le service aussi était impeccable - chaleureux, attentif, professionnel. Le sommelier était compétent & amicale.
L'ambiance, elle, est assez froide : un décor minimaliste qui manque un peu de charme.
Là où ça accroche vraiment, c'est sur le prix. On parle de 460 $ pour deux personnes, sans bouteille de prestige ni excès. Pour ce montant, on s'attend à une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle de bout en bout, or on a déjà mangé aussi bien (& parfois mieux) pour deux fois moins cher. Ce n'est pas que le Bouillon Bilk ne soit pas bon - c'est un très bon restaurant, aucun doute là-dessus - mais le rapport qualité-prix est difficile à justifier.
En résumé : excellent repas, excellent service, mais facture salée pour une expérience qui, bien que très agréable, ne nous a pas entièrement transportés.
Here is a very decent option if you want to try different tastes!
Their dishes offer a creative mixture of flavors for the customer to enjoy!
I ordered the Rabit Pasta & it was delicious! Pleasant combination of flavors.
Staff are very nice & professional & they explain everything to you.
Expérience toujours des plus agréables au fils des ans. Qualité, service impeccable & nourriture de haut standard. Un endroit à recommander aux plus exigeants BRAVO!!
