Located on the second floor of the Pointe-a-Calliere Museum's Eperon Building, the L'Arrivage restaurant offers diners a spectacular view of the Old Port and St-Lawrence River.
During the fireworks festival, L'Arrivage hosts a unique Fireworks Evening, L'arrivage features a seasonal terrace that offers one of the most best views of the International Fireworks Competition in Montreal. L'Arrivage's gourmet specialities include ostrich liver and fresh fish. L'Arrivage also features a table d'hote menu that includes an entree, a main course and a dessert, as well as an express menu with a wide range of soups and sandwiches to choose from.
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.
We went there on a picture perfect clear cold Sunday morning for brunch. Milestone birthday celebration. Could not have picked a better place. Elegant & classy with an ultra calm serene atmosphere. Cozy & warm, with unparalleled vistas of the Old Port. Attentive, yet discreet service by our waiter,' Gabriel', was genuine & sincere. Cuisine absolutely delicious! French toast with duck. Unique flavor. Top notch kitchen. A true niche jewel of our city. Definitely recommend.
Le bistrot L'Arrivage, au 2? étage du musée Pointe-à-Callière, est une belle découverte. Le cadre est lumineux & paisible, avec une jolie vue sur le Vieux-Port. Nous avons dégusté une assiette du pêcheur au risotto, un tartare de saumon & une bavette de boeuf avec frites, des plats savoureux & bien présentés. Un vin blanc d'Argentine a accompagné le repas. La qualité est au rendez-vous, tant dans l'assiette que dans le service, chaleureux & attentionné. C'est l'endroit parfait pour prolonger la visite du musée ou simplement passer un bon moment. À retenir !
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.
Accueil fantastique, prix abordable pour le vieux Montréal & choix multiples pour le brunch . Superbe vue sur le vieux port de Montréal, il y a même une petite terrasse avec table pour profiter du panorama.
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.
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!

Belle vue sur le vieux Port. La présentation du plat était passable, le poulet du risotto trop cuit & le goût discutable. Ce n'était pas à la hauteur de mon dernier passage à l'arrivée.
Excellent !! Vraiment très impressionnées par la beauté & le goût mon mon assiette. Le tout couronné d'une très belle vue du vieux port de Montréal.
Je le recommande fortement !
Très bonne nourriture. Ambiance décontractée. Vue exceptionnelle sur le Vieux-Port. Service attentionné. Bref, ce fut un excellent repas. Nous y retournerons.
