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.
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.
Nice place for a prix fixe tasting menu. We ordered additionally a dozen oysters & it added to the experience. This area was hard to find parking so I would suggest coming 15 minutes early.
My husband & I traveled to Montreal for our honeymoon & had the pleasure of dining at Bouillon Bilk. We had an incredible dining experience! The service was fantastic. Our waiter was very helpful & had a great personality. We had a oysters, scallops & the duck. The food was truly some of the best we've ever had. I am still dreaming about my scallops. We highly recommend this restaurant & hope to be back someday!

I had ordered the 5 course tasting menu + non-alcoholic pairing. The food was in general good. Starting with a small basket of bread & butter, & then came a variety of flavours such as crab, veal tartare, pasta, beef, finishing off with a chocolate dessert. The non-alcoholic pairing was a nice surprise, & the pairings ended up quite interesting from a mocktail, to dashi, to a smoky kombucha. The service was good as well, the servers explained the menu very well, & were very quick about cleaning up the table & preparing you for the next course. The reason I give this a 4 star instead of 5 star is that for the price of the meal at about 200 dollars per person (5 course + drink pairing) I do have an expectation that it'd be not just a very good experience but a great &/or excellent experience. A couple of things stood out to me in this regard. The starter bread came with butter, however the butter was still quite cold (& perhaps a little frozen). & when the butter is that cold, you end up destroying the bread as you attempt to spread it as I did last night. Plus you can't get an even a spread. That was a bit of a disappointing start. I found the cappelletti to be quite salty. When you have a dish like this, & try to get a little bit of everything in one bit such as the cream sauce, the bacon bits, the taste felt just salty (with a hint of richness from the sauce). A minor thing, but I noticed there was a coat check. I'm not sure if it's offered to everyone but did notice some people use it as the service staff had retrieved it for them. I think if coat check if available, then it should be offered to anyone who has one. It wasn't a big deal as I just put my coat on my chair, no big deal. But one of those things where it'd be a +1pt for service if it was offered. Overall, I liked the food, it was good. The service was friendly & fairly fast. But for the price point, I really wanted it to be & expected it to be really great (& I think it's almost there!). Even so, I'd recommend people to check this place out.
This place is simply amazing. The food is creative & delicious. The service is attentive & friendly. The vibe is casual & cozy. The highlight of my meal was the foie gras dessert. Yeah, it sounds kind of wrong but tastes extremely right. Almost like a banana foster with duck liver instead of ton of butter. Wine list is impressive as well. They serve d'yquem for dessert if someone is willing to drop major bucks.
Like almost all the other reviews here say, this place is fantastic. The tasting menu was amazing & the bottle of wine the sommelier helped us pick went well with everything. The restaurant is elegant, & all the staff are very friendly & professional.
Nous avons pris le menu dégustation en 8 services avec l'accord mets-vins européen. Chaque plat était excellent. Rien à redire au niveau du service. Un des meilleurs restaurants à Montréal!
