Went there on a whim with a friend to celebrate the end of the semester. I was the only one who got the 7 course meal with the wine pairing. The food was absolutely amazing, & the service was perfect. Absolutely enjoyed the wine knowledge of the sommelier & the general courtesy of the staff. You cannot go wrong here. Will be back soon!
We had been to this restaurant last year & had an absolute fantastic meal.& fantastic service experience.
The servers were very well polished & made recommendations for wine that were spot on & with good value.
Unfortunately, it was not the case this time. Even though we got similar food items compared to last year.The sizes were much much smaller. In fact, we left the restaurant quite hungry.
The stakes are steak was half the size of last year. The lobster resulted was also 50% smaller.
The octopus came with hardly half of one tentacle for the entire dish.
In addition the somilier was quite aggressive. Suggesting wines to us in the 2 to 300 dollar range to start out with. In fact, his selections were subpar.Compared to last year.
We spent over $1100, without tip, & all of us genuinely felt hungry.& kind of ripped off.
It's too bad, but we had considered the space, a hidden gem in montreal.
Not really a reason to return to this place After the experience, we just had
I've visited several times for lunch & dinner. Great ambience, great food, excellent service. Mains are delicious -- lobster risotto, deer, fish were all great. Cocktail & wine selection is good, & desserts were outstanding.
The service & food were really good, the wine list is extensive as well. I had the striped bass & it was perfectly cooked.
The only downside, when the restaurant filled up, it was so loud I could barely hear the people at my table. Other than that, it was a good experience.
We did the tasting menu with drink pairings, & it was absolutely amazing. They were accommodating & changed two of the courses for me & the sommelier even chose two new wines to pair with them! Amazing selection of Quebec & French wines. Service was great too, everyone was incredibly friendly. & the food was delicious! I don't know if I can pick a favourite as all the courses were delicious! Will definitely be back!
Very expensive for a not so memorable meal. I had the tasting menu, which was quite disappointing. The amusebouche of fish & strawberries tasted only of strawberries. The scallops were good, but not spectacular. The pre dessert was nice, but the dessert was nothing to write home about. I actually don't even remember what it was. The sommelier was very interesting, but the wine, although good, was way overpriced. The evening cost close to $600 for 2 people, which is unreasonable. That being said, my husband enjoyed his steak.
The cuisine was outstanding. Each dish was beautifully plated & executed with remarkable precision, balancing bold flavors with classic French technique. Every course felt thoughtful & elevated, showcasing both creativity & respect for tradition. The quality of ingredients & attention to detail were evident in every bite.The service was equally impressive: professional, warm, & perfectly paced. The staff demonstrated deep knowledge of the menu & wine pairings while maintaining a relaxed & welcoming atmosphere. You felt cared for without ever feeling rushed or overwhelmed.Le Boulevardier sets a very high standard for fine dining in Montreal. It delivers excellence across food, service, & it is absolutely a destination restaurant. Highly recommended.
We went to this restaurant during#Mtlatable & it did not disappoint. 4 courses & we opted for the wine pairing which was a success. Outstanding dishes were the Buratta with beets, the scallops & the lamb. Both desserts were outstanding. Charles our server was professional & very knowledgeable. The Sommelier was personable & made great recommendations. The view was also beautiful & this is one of the restaurants I have been to where you can chat as a couple & there is limited noise. Great for date night!
This was a restaurant in a hotel. I never think of good restaurants being in a hotel, but Montreal has a number of exceptional ones, this being one of them. French olfood oriented menu with just the right sized serving portion. Very good wine list with a very attentive sommelier. We had a table that overlooked the street & the restaurant was relatively quiet so that you could easily converse across the table.
