Reviewers describe L'Arrivage as an elegant, serene spot with unbeatable views of the Old Port and a setting that complements a museum visit. The atmosphere is praised as refined and pleasant, with service frequently noted as attentive, courteous, and thoughtful, though on busy days staff can feel stretched. The menu earns praise for flavor, originality, and careful presentation, with highlights including French toast with duck, the gochujang fried chicken sandwich, quiches, and a variety of shared plates; the wine and dessert selections also receive favorable mentions. Several guests call it a hidden gem and a fitting upstairs bistro with a bright, peaceful interior or a terrace vantage that makes the experience special. Yet a few reviews point to inconsistencies such as some entrees arriving charred or overly heavy poutine, smaller portions for the price, and higher prices due to the museum setting. Overall, L'Arrivage is seen as a well located, enjoyable option for a museum day that can be memorable and worth returning to, despite the occasional letdown.

3.0

The pasta was good. Unfortunately we also ordered both the kids burgers & the bison burgers & they were both charred to a level that was not appetizing. At the price we have to pay I expected better!

Nous avons mangé le burger & il était très bon. Le prix est raisonnable compte tenu de l'emplacement dans le vieux Montréal. 1 étoiles en moins car j'ai commandé un dessert & après 20mn il n'était toujours pas servi. Le service a été rapide mais dès que le restaurant a été occupé à 50 % de capacité l'attente c'est beaucoup allongée. Trop de monde pour 2 serveurs.

5.0

Excellent service - so friendly & accommodating. Great food. Highly recommend the foie gras, iced coffee, beef carpaccio, tuna/salmon tartare, Quebec beef burger. Great views. A true gem above a fun museum.

One of the very few places still to be discovered in an over touristic Old port. Although this restaurant still has a lot of wrinkles to iron out, the atmosphere more than makes up for the annoying downfalls that still exist in the daily management of the place. We had drinks & the burger platter which was frankly very good. The parasol terrace was very pleasant with great views over the waterfront area. For now, I'll share a photo taken from our seat at the table, as well as a small video taken from the roof top right above the restaurant. Tip: at first, it is difficult to know how to get to the restaurant. When coming into the museum, immediately turn left & left again to the elevator. Notwithstanding a few services irritabilities, enjoy this still undiscovered gem, you will not regret the experience.
