Bouillon Bilk est, depuis 2011, cet endroit simple où nous accueillons les gens du quartier pour leur lunch d’affaires, pour leur avant ou après spectacle ou pour leur envie de passer un bon moment à toute heure.
Les avis convergent pour décrire Bouillon Bilk comme une expérience gastronomique raffinée et moderne au cœur de Montréal, où les plats présentent des associations audacieuses et des textures soignées, servis dans un cadre élégant et calme qui peut paraître froid pour certains. Le menu degustation, souvent accompagné de vins canadiens ou de choix non alcoolisés, est régulièrement salué pour sa cohérence et ses présentations soignées, bien que quelques plats ou accords aient suscité des retours mitigés sur l équilibre des saveurs ou la densité des portions. Le service est globalement remarqué comme attentif, compétent et professionnel, avec un sommelier et une équipe de salle jugés exceptionnels dans de nombreux témoignages; cependant, des critiques portent sur des temps d attente ou des détails de service selon les visites. L addition est fréquemment citée comme élevée, justifiée par la qualité des ingrédients, mais certains estiment le rapport qualité-prix perfectible par rapport à l expérience, surtout en comparaison des prix à Montréal ou à Paris. Le déménagement et l aménagement du nouvel espace ont été perçus comme améliorant l expérience, avec davantage d espace et une ambiance plus agréable, même si quelques avis regrettent une décoration plus chaleureuse et une atmosphère parfois trop haute couture. Dans l ensemble, Bouillon Bilk est recommandé pour les amateurs de gastronomie qui recherchent des plats créatifs, des vins soignés et un service de haut niveau, à condition d être prêt à investir et d être flexible sur certains détails. Les déceptions ponctuelles soulignent l importance de choisir le bon menu et d être conscient des variations d expérience d un plat à l autre, mais l impression générale demeure celle d une adresse incontournable pour une expérience culinaire marquante à Montréal.
The food was elevated & i love the fact that you can pair the food with non-alcoholics beverage. I choose the 5 services menu with non alcoholics beverages. I had a friend that took the discovery wines pairing. The food was amazing! However the pairings weren't all successful. I love the spot too, it's great for a date night or for any special occasion. It's a really good & unique experience :)
Must visit!! I did the 8 course tasting menu with the discovery wine pairings, which are all Canadian wines. The food was delicious, unique, & stunning. Each aspect was carefully thought out & not a detail overlooked. The staff was efficient, friendly, & perceptive. If you choose the tasting menu as well, be prepared to commit 2+ hours to fully enjoy the experience & don't drive. There's also a coat check, which alleviates the burden of the warming layers. I can't speak highly enough of this restaurant.
My wife & I had a lovely visit this evening. The food was exquisite, the cocktails were delicious, & the wine was perfect. It was clear that the staff enjoys working there, which made the experience all the more enjoyable!
Had a great time with my family here. I had the tasting menu with wine pairings it was incredible! Amazing flavors & textures. Every dish I had was great. I highly recommend it. it is expensive but you get what you pay for.
Unbelievable meal. 8 course tasting with 7 course wine pairing. This surpasses Daniel in NYC. The flavors & presentation were exquisite. The flavors innovative. The service impeccable. Somehow they have managed a fine technique in a comfortable & relaxing atmosphere. This foodie knows her food. Trust me.
Our dinner was delightful. This was our first visit at the new location after many visits at the previous one. We were happy to see that the menu had many of our favorite dishes from the previous restaurant - specifically the eggplant & scallops (both pictured). The ambience of the new location certainly matches the food better than the old space did. The service was very attentive & warm. The sommelier recommended an excellent bottle of wine with our meal for my wife & I. Every plate was perfectly prepared & delicious. & the staff was even quick to change our table, at our request, when the neighboring table had a baby (who brings a 2 year old to a fine dinning restaurant for dinner?). All in all the meal & service was excellent. We look forward to our next visit back. Congratulations to Bouillon Bilk on the new location. We are very happy to have you back.

First, Uber still had the old location. Eventually made it to 22 Catherine but we wandered a bit trying to find a sign & building number. That's on us. But restaurant was not easy to find at night. We had the 8 course meal with wine pairing. It was enjoyable & food was great overall…main meat duck dish was a bit forgettable. Not my favorite. I typically love course meals & been to many Michelin rated places in the past. For some reason, the pace seemed a bit too slow? Even though I've had 3 hour course meals before. Don't know what it is. Anyway, overall, we enjoyed the meal. Can't quite give 5 stars due to reasons above.
Our go to for fine dining in Montreal. We had the 8 course tasting menu with Canadian wine pairings. Some spectacular pairings with innovative food. Service is delightful-proper yet relaxed. Not something you can afford every day, but well worth it for that special date night.
Have you ever been excited to go to a restaurant because of its reputation & then have been a little disappointed? That's how I felt about Bouillon Bilk. The food is good - notably the beef carpaccio style appetizer & the cappellitti were phenomenal. While I felt like the scallops & tuna were good- they lacked a little "je ne sais quoi". However, the reason for the 4 star really came down to experience. Unfortunately, no quality check was done for any of our meals & the runners were going over the dishes so quick as if really trying to get the job done as fast as possible. I will still recommend bouillon bilk - the quality of the produce is top notch & the wine selection is great!

An extraordinary dining experience, on every level! Perhaps the best I have ever had. We had the five course tasting menu with wine pairings. Each course was highly creative, with interesting colors, textures, & flavors. . .& always incredibly delicious. We enjoyed having both the Canadian & European wine pairings. They were so very different from one another, but both complemented the food perfectly. Kudos to the sommelier, Luec, who did an amazing job! The service could not have been better. Our server, Natalia, was so welcoming & professional, which elevated our experience to an even higher level. . .truly memorable. I would return to Montreal just to dine at Bouillon Bilk!
This is one of the best tables in Montreal & I stand by it - I've been dining at Bouillon Bilk for almost 10 years. If you like scallops, their version is a classic for a reason. Always perfectly cooked & paired with seasonal vegetables. Keep the bread to pick up all the delicious sauces that come with the dish. All the other entrees & main are good, creative & beautiful to look at. The service is premium - I never got a bad wine pairing with my meal. I highly recommend!
Top shelf restaurant with a great tasting menu, they even have a wine pairing menu for each course! Super delicious & little pricey but no complaints we had a lovely time & were full after our tasting they time the courses perfectly.

I've done the 8 course meal with the wine pairing twice at this place. Each time it's been an incredibly memorable experience & a gastronomic delight. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Excellent dining experience. Very elegant atmosphere & exquisite tasting menu. The food quality & wine selection are top notch! Highly recommend eating here once if you can.
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!
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!
