Service impeccable & aimable. Rapide & efficace. La nourriture est excellent, le dosagage est parfait, les portions pas trop gros pas trop petit. Le prix est parfait pour ce que vous commandez. Impeccable & friendly service. Fast & efficient. The food is excellent, the dosage is perfect, the portions not too big not too small. The price is perfect for what you order.
Je vous recommande d'essayer le restaurant Le Boulevardier au centre-ville de Montréal. Ce fût une expérience gastronomique à essayer absolument! Décor très beau à regarder, le service chaleureux & empreint de courtoisie que l'on se sent chez soi! Les plats sont d'une originalité, d'une finesse en goût & très surprenant comme mélange & goûter! À essayer avec la famille, amis ou couple! Je compte y retourner avec plaisir!🥰😉😃

Belle ambiance, le plateau à partager pour l'entrée est très appétissant & frais. Nos plats étaient parfaits. Le sommelier nous a bien conseillé avec beaucoup d'enthousiasme. On a passé une belle soirée.
The best dinner experience of my life. They accommodated me as a vegetarian & put together a vegetarian 6 course tasting menu apparently for the first time ever. You wouldn't know it though, every dish we had (my husband eats meat) was phenomenal. The portions were sized perfectly that you could enjoy a few bites of it & we were stuffed by the end. The service from our waiter Nicolas was impeccable. The lobster risotto & mushroom ravioli in particular were out of this world, as was the dessert. Cannot recommend this place enough. Well worth the money for the quality of food & service.

It was my first time at this restaurant. The Cromesquis Canard- duck foie gras was creamy & rich. The filet beef was juicy & cooked to absolute perfection. Dessert which was an extremely tiny (only probably a couple of bites) Champignons-Erable was delicious. Our server was very chatty but not too attentive. I found it a little chilly in the restaurant & the atmosphere didn't have a warm & elegant feel of a high end restaurant. I will definitely return for the exquisite food.
Très belle expérience au Boulevardier que j'avais découvert à l'occasion du festival Montréal en lumière. J'y suis retourné plusieurs fois pour le dîner depuis & je ne suis jamais déçu. Un service efficace, des assiettes de grande qualité & une formule en table d'hôte pour un très bon rapport qualité prix. Je recommande vivement!
Quick service. Small portions, which is fine, but it felt like it was fancy to be fancy without the variety of tastes we expected. It's ok; just not worth eating there when we only have four days in Montreal

Très dispendieux (300$ pour un 4 services pour deux personnes, bouteille de vin la moins dispendieuse à 60$, tx & pourboire), mais tellement délicieux, qu'il faut se payer ça au moins une fois dans sa vie 😉
Another wonderful experience at Le Boulevardier. I first discovered them a few years ago where they impressed me during MTL à Table & I've been back several times over the years as a result. I'm overdue to leave them a review. One of the first things I remember impressing me was how they took my allergies seriously. For instance, one time in the past, I ordered oysters & told them not to bother bringing any hot sauce or anything spicy since I couldn't use it anyways. On their own initiative, they brought me a delicious pear-based mignonette instead that I still rave about. Much more special & unique than the standard onion & red-wine based mignonette that often comes with raw oysters. I also took a chance in 2024 to try their Montreal en Lumiere menu & was totally wowed by the creativity & daring & unique menu they came up with. Now I will focus on my most recent visit in July 2024. I had the scallops in bacon cream sauce & it was delicious. The scallops were cooked just right & I completely cleaned my plate of all the sauce with the bread. It was the kind of dish where you stopped talking to people at your table because it was so delicious you couldn't focus on the conversation & just automatically tune everything out while you are absorbed in the taste explosion in your mouth. The beef with foie gras & potatoes daupinois with asparagus was perfectly cooked & seasoned. I loved everything on my plate, & it all went together wonderfully. The beef was so tender, each bite melted in my mouth & the foie gras elevated it to another level of decadence. I normally don't order things like steaks, preferring to choose my own cuts of quality beef & cooking them at home, but I had no regrets at all ordering this dish. The knowledgeable servers told us it was a signature dish that they often keep on the menu even when other selections on the menu change. Now I understand why. The dessert was also unique (it had mushroom ice cream) & beautiful. The service was impeccable. Everyone we spoke with was so knowledgeable about the food & alcohol pairings, & knew everything about the menu, what to recommend, etc., & did so with obvious passion, professionalism & enthusiasm. The ambiance is lovely, well decorated, & classy without being stuffy or arrogant. I always feel so comfortable & happy whenever I dine here. The staff are truly welcoming. I also appreciate that they don't cram tables too close together, so you can enjoy your conversations with your companions at your table without raising your voice & feel at ease without feeling like neighboring tables can listen in. Please keep up the excellent food, service & experience! I will definitely be back to try those seafood platters, as well as other items on the menu I didn't get chance to try yet. Le Boulevardier has continued to deliver over the years & has landed in my personal top 10 in Montreal list. I hope they continue in this fashion & I look forward to my next visit.
Both Amelie & Jordane were amazing & we loved how they were so knowledgeable, friendly & yet not over extending their presence. Asked for them. Food was very deliciousdo not hesitate, the quality isn't debatable. Beef & foie Gras, yummm
The good: really nice restaurant. The bad: the salmon tartare was bland & the side dishes were really disappointing. The ugly: the service was extremely long despite restaurant being half empty & the waitress barely spoke to us, didn't explain the menu & didn't even offered us coffee & dessert despite being included in the table d'hôte.
