The menu takes inspiration from brasseries and café bistros and features fresh, local fare, with an emphasis on seafood. A French-inspired wine list, reinvented retro cocktails, and a good selection of whisk(e)ys and cognacs round out the offering.
Le Boulevardier Restaurant in Montreal draws largely positive impressions for its elegant setting, refined French cooking, and attentive staff. Guests frequently praise the superb service, knowledgeable sommelier, and strong wine and dessert selections, with favorites including scallops, lobster risotto, and a memorable millefeuille. The tasting menu and chef's pairings are often highlighted as highlights, while portions and seasoning vary for some dishes, leading to comments that some plates feel small for the price or could use more depth. The atmosphere is described as sophisticated and romantic, though sometimes noisy or slow during peak times, making it a better pick for special occasions or business dinners. Overall, it is regarded as a high quality, destination dining experience with impressive attention to detail and consistency that encourages return visits, even if a few meals fall short of expectations.
The duck was not tender; the flétan was undercooked. After being served it was very hard to get the attention of the staff for more beverages. I have been here before & have had good experiences, but this was not it.
Le serveur était gentil mais il semblait avoir trop de tables & il n'est pas venue nous voir souvent. Résultat après 2 heures pour un dîner, nous n'avons pas commandé de dessert ni café puisqu'il a pris trop de temps.

Très bonne place dans le centre-ville de Montréal pour manger dans une atmosphère élégante & détendue. Le service était très amical & la nourriture bien présentée & très bonne. Le tiramisu à la pistache est exceptionnel!
Le boulevardier is a restaurant that shows what it means to be a cut above the rest. The food was incredible, well thought out & presented with a clear idea in mind. The Sommelier, Jordan is a very knowledgeable & kind person who not only informs while he serves, but caters to your tastes while knowing his wine card inside & out. Our Waitress Nicole was very sweet, dedicated & clearly passionate about her work, being able to describe our plates with ease & knew her restaurant well. Jason, another waiter who guided us through our service, was funny, kind & attentive. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there & definitely intend on going back, not only for the fantastic food, but for the kind staff as well

Overpriced!!! Charged CAD 34 for a glass of champagne that on the bill said was Tattinger, but was not the case. The whole dinner was CAD 250, so the champagne with 2 glasses represented 1/4 of the bill. Incredibly bad experience & cheating.
Went here for a date & the atmosphere & service were amazing. Our server & sommelier were quite helpful in deciding our meals/drinks. The food itself was high quality & flavourful. Definitely recommend 👏
Went for New Year's eve 8 course meal, it was 270$ per person for "8" courses & a glass of wine. I say "8" because one of the services is just a palette cleanser & they consider that as a service, which to me makes no sense. The portions were very small, although tasty. The service was very good, & the ambiance was okay, it was a little empty & music was very low. At midnight, despite the price, they served 10$ prosseco to everyone(I know the price because the waitor told us & showed us the bottle). I am being generous with four stars because I think it was way overpriced. I've eaten in better restaurants, with bigger portion for a third of that price (maybe it was because it was NYE, & they were milking people). I know the restaurant business is hard, but that was immensely overpriced, & left us disappointed walking out.
Excellent food in a beautiful atmosphere. We enjoyed the oysters, lamb confit & delicious beef tenderloin. Wines were excellent. Prompt, attentive service.
Absolutely loved our experience. The food was beyond expectation especially the appetizers & main courses. The service can be improved in small places. We were not provided a spoon for the egg parfait until requested. Our servers provided a very basic description of the food & daily specials based on limited English. Otherwise the experience overall was pretty good & we would recommend to friends.
Came on a whim & was wonderfully surprised by the food. We had oysters, egg parfait (must try!), & foie gras terrine with a side of smoked eel to start & walleye ballotine & lamb confit entrees. All were absolutely delightful & perfectly executed, inspired by classic French bistro dishes but elevated with a twist & less heavy. Pistachio tiramisu for dessert was not at the same level as the first two courses but still good. A few small misses with the service, may help if you speak French, but overall highly recommend for the amazing food & wonderful atmosphere. Reservations were also easy to get for a Friday evening.
This was the best meal I had in Montreal. The service was outstanding--the entire staff worked together to make it an unforgettable experience. Kudos to the chef as the duck & entire plate was cooked to perfection & the dessert blew my mind it was SO good! The pistachio tiramisu was out of this world! I was really in heaven with the entire meal. What really set them over the top was the fact that they have a beautiful tradition in which they brought a free digestive (bottle of yummy booze) over to our table & let us know we can go to another table (if we wanted to) & introduce ourselves, offer the the drink, & make a genuine connection with another table. I appreciate that the serving sizes in Canada are reasonable & healthy--not like the over-serving that happens in the U.S. It was the perfect amount of food to fill my stomach & not be too stuffed--perfectly satiated. The ambiance was perfect for a romantic date night or a warm, cozy dinner with friends or family. The place was clean, orderly, & quite impressive. The staff was lovely & speak both English & French. Thank you *so much* for your hard work & dedication to your craft. I highly recommend Le Boulevardier to anyone who visits Montreal! 10/10. If you're looking for a nice, delicious place to eat, you will not be let down if you try this place!
