I always look so forward to dining at Le Boulevardier restaurant anytime I visit Montreal. I was traveling to Montreal with my cousin & I had raved about the food & service here. We went last night. We ordered the 5 course meal. The first 3 courses came at a nice pace. The 4th course took half hour to arrive & the final course-dessert was another half hour. By this time our drinks were empty & no one came by to ask if we would like anything else. We finished dessert, which was lovely. After posting my review, I received a lovely call from Tom at Le Boulevardier. He was amazing & personally apologized & had visited the situation with the staff. I was so pleased with the acknowledgement & service that I received & the genuine overall concern. I am going back for sure!! I look forward to the seafood platter, which has always been my favorite in the past. Thanks again to Le Boulevardier for making things right.
We went to celebrate my sister's birthday & our whole experience was outstanding! From the beginning, Alexis was friendly, helpful & professional. Tom, the sommelier, was so knowledgeable as well as engaging-with him we discovered a new wine we loved that we probably wouldn't have tried had it not been for him.
The seafood discovery appetizer was delicious & plentiful. It was a great way to sample different seafood.
My brother chose the 5 course tasting menu which was perfectly portioned & a way to try multiple dishes. My steak was delicious & the foie gras was some of the best I have had! The strawberry dessert was a treat-wonderful flavors & not too heavy.
You will pay the price for an amazing meal here but it is worth it, especially if Alexis & Tom take care of you😊)!
They change the menu, so don't be disappointed if something you have seen or heard about in the reviews are not available-you will be happy with the other options!
Craving for a foie gras last night, & this place delivers. Wanted to have a quiet anniversary date night with montreal city view. From the reservation, the host, to the waiters, to the sommelier, all excellent. Cheers chef, the menu tasting, the desserts, & drinks delivers excellently. Will definitely be back on my next trip!
While the food itself was flavourful, unfortunately the overall experience was disappointing.
From the moment we arrived, the staff came across as rude, unfriendly, & entitled. We were never greeted warmly or even wished a good evening, which made us feel unwelcome from the start. Throughout the meal, the service lacked hospitality & left us feeling like an inconvenience rather than valued guests.
The food was delicious, but the portion sizes were shockingly small for the price. The octopus consisted of one very small tentacle hidden beneath rice crisps. The risotto portion was tiny, & the beef filet-priced at nearly $60-was served as just two small pieces of beef with a couple of mushrooms over mashed potatoes. While the quality & flavours were excellent, the value simply wasn't there.
The most disappointing part of the evening was paying the bill. A staff member stood over me the entire time while I completed the payment, watching me closely & giving what felt like judgmental, unpleasant expressions. It made for an incredibly uncomfortable end to the meal.
There are too many restaurants that offer both exceptional food & genuine hospitality for us to return. Sadly, despite the delicious flavours, the poor service & lack of value overshadowed the entire experience.
The steak & cheesy mashed were scrumptious. The only disappointment was when I ordered a small side salad & they brought a huge salad which I sent back or I would not have room for my main course. So they brought back 1/4 of that salad but still had the nerve to charge me $15. Also the waiter had very strong BO- very unappetizing for a hungry patron.
