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.
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.
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.

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 📸
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.
Endroit extraordinaire !! Un petit trésor caché !! Nous y allons depuis plusieurs années Le décor extérieur avec la terrasse, la gentillesse des serveurs, la nourriture de bonne qualité! Les pétoncles & crevettes étaient délicieuses! On va y revenir pour le brunch une autre fois
Nice place, like the atmosphere. The place is on top of museum, with a lot of windows. Good service. Food is good, but not great neither. Ok place overall.

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!
L'Arrivage ! Le repos entre 2 expos, l'extase entre 2 visites, le tête-à-tête quand les enfants sont occupés à leurs devoirs. C'est une super place à brunch & chaque possibilité: 😱, choisir, c'est renoncer aux autres options!! Aujourd'hui, j'ai pris Pancake de matchs avec poulet croustillant avec un petit sirop. Sucré, salé & frit: ouf, le mélange de saveurs divin!! Sur les photos (de belles assiettes artisanales d'ailleurs, la bouffe goûte meilleure dans ce temps-là!), poutine canard, oeufs mollets avec béchamel truffée au louis d'or (fromage de charlevoix 😋), les baos, l'assortiment de tartinades. Y'a de tout, même pour les enfants. La vue est belle, peu importe où l'on s'assoit. Le service est attentif, rapide & agréable. On coiffe le tout avec un excellent limoncello ou un latté végane & ma journée au musée n'en est que rehaussée! Je recommande chaudement car je reviendrai! Merci au chef & à toute l'équipe pour ce beau dimanche midi!

Quelle belle expérience au Bistro L'Arrivage. Notre serveur était sympathique, drôle & attentionné. Un service vraiment impeccable. & la bouffe? Nous nous sommes régalés. La pankake au matcha & poulet croustillant était succulente. Un parfait équilibre sucré salé. Le pain perdu au canard confit était moelleux. Avec un petit verre de mimosa, nous avons eu un excellent brunch tout en profitant de la vue sur le Vieux Montréal. Nous reviendrons!
Resto du musée pointe à Callière,belle vue sur le vieux port, Accueil ,service & cuisine impeccable. Terrasse disponible pour les beaux jours.Qualité/prix imbattables.belvèdere à l étage supérieur .menu brunch & dîner.
Super service, la jeune fille était drôle, gentille & d'agréable compagnie! Le souris d'agneau était délicieux, la viande fondait en bouche. Le riz vénéré aux chorizo & fruits de mer était super, l'entrée de foie gras & chutney délectable! & les desserts étaient succulents, mais de trop, ah ah!
The roasted beet & sweet potato tartare is delicious, the soup of the day was delicious, the service was exceptional! The view is excellent. We had a perfect meal after our tour of the museum. If you are near this museum, just the Bistro is worth a visit!
