Review Summary

L'Arrivage is widely regarded as a hidden gem, celebrated primarily for its spectacular and serene views of the Old Port and Old Montreal. Guests frequently praise the warm, attentive service and the bright, elegant atmosphere that makes it a perfect stop during a museum visit. While most diners enjoy the delicious, high-quality menu items such as the duck confit French toast, various quiches, and flavorful sandwiches, experiences with consistency occasionally vary, with some feedback noting issues regarding portion sizes, pricing, and the preparation of certain dishes. Despite these mixed remarks on the cuisine, the overall consensus highlights a pleasant, sophisticated environment that serves as an ideal location for a relaxing meal.

I normally have low expectations for museum food, but I had a fantastic lunch here.

The gochujang fried chicken sandwich was so good! It had lots of flavor, was perfectly crispy, & the fries are very nice. The poutine was pretty good too, even though im not usually a fan- we ordered two & one of them did have too much gravy. The quiches were nice.

Our server was fantastic, very friendly & thoughtful. The view from the restaurant is great, & its very convenient while in the museum to have a good place to eat.

This restaurant is upstairs in Building A at the Museum of Archaeology. The food is decent & it is not busy. Good place to checkout if you plan on staying over lunch at the museum.

Prices are a bit marked up since it is inside the attraction, but the setting is very nice as you are overlooking the Old Port.

Overall the portions were fine, but pretty disappointed how small the kids poutine was .. basically the same size as a bun. Some servers were pretty hospitable but not all.

Recommended by a friend for my graduation lunch - this "secret" restaurant was SO worth it! Everyone enjoyed it, & let me tell you that we had some tough critics to satisfy (aka a Spanish & Italian grandmother) & they approved ✨ &, look at these meals - all around sensorial experience 📸

I've been to different iterations of this restaurant & this one is quite good! Enjoyed a brunch of Montréal bagel with two kinds of smoked fish (excellent) & a lunch of seafood risotto (a little salty, but succulent). As always, the view of Old Port is amazing but it's still quite a hidden gem! What takes this iteration of L'Arrivage to the next level, though, is the service. When we came once for lunch, they served us the wrong dish (I think the waiter misheard). He was very apologetic & offered to switch it to the correct one - the floor manager even came to see us. We didn't want to waste food, so we ate the new dish & enjoyed it. Then they comped it at the end even though we said we would pay. Thanks for the great service!

Waited one hour for our orders to arrive, even though we were the first ones to arrive when the restaurant opened at 11:30am. No explanation for the delay except to say "it'll be ready soon". Food was absolutely terrible! Both pasta dishes arrived barely lukewarm, obviously having been left on a counter for some time as the pasta has already congealed into a solid mass. Beef bourgone has not one piece of beef in it. By the time we left at 1:30pm, there were about 10 tables of customers & we noted none has any food served yet (including a couple of tables who arrived shortly after us). Really spoiled our intention of a nice lunch in a beautiful setting!

I went for lunch & we had ravioli & fish & chips. The ravioli was way too salty & a bit hard (28$)
The fish & chips had a small portion fish, nice presentation & good fries(29$)
The service was slow & un attentive. The coffee got cold by the time we got the dessert. They should have inquired if we want the coffee with the dessert.

As we say. We came twice. First & last time. It is really too bad as the pre COVID restaurant was lovely
