We stayed in the hotel so we dined here twice during our stay. Once for breakfast & once for dinner.
Breakfast experience.
The service was impeccable & very friendly. Servers actively spotted for anything you needed before you asked. The first cappuccinos we got were wonderful & velvety. The second were full of grinds & had no foam really. This was a minor issue but for the price, should never have been served. The food at breakfast was a solid 2* on the buffet. While the selection was nice, everything intended to be hot… was cold & dried out. Everything intended to be cold… was room temp. Overall. Not a great experience. For the price they could be refreshing that buffet entirely several times during their breakfast hours.

Dinner experience.
Overall it was a great experience. We went for the tasting menu with wine pairings & while not every dish was to our taste, they were all inspired & interesting. The service was fantastic all around.. everyone we encountered was very pleasant & went out of their way to ensure a great service. The wine pairings were excellent & absolutely on point. No complaints about dinner whatsoever… although of course insanely pricey.
I'd recommend it for dinner & would say to pass on breakfast. There are better options in the area with fresher food at a better price point for breakfast.
Food was excellent… The actual best French fries I have ever eaten.
Service was flawless, very attentive…
My only critique would be the decor, it looks dated & very 2010 ish… Sitting in the solarium, it was less noticeable.
My husband & I went to maison boulud for our anniversary dinner during our short visit in Montreal. We were glad we did. The food was phenomenal & just very pretty. We ordered the hamachi, some of the daily specials (caviar amuse bouche & the tournedos Rossini), the duck & some dessert. We ordered some drinks as well. Lune de miel was my drink, & it initially tasted very sour like it was out of balance. I didn't want to return it since I never return whatever i order but my husband said it was realllly sour. Our server told us not to drink it if I didn't like it & gave us a new one. Later, the bartender came to us & told us that there was indeed something missing & gave another one to me, & THAT was a great drink. Any restaurant can make a mistake, but how they remedy it really makes a restaurant special. In this case, our experience was great. My dish, the tournedos Rossini, Was a filet mignon with foie gras & truffles, & this was scrumptious. I'd order this again any day. The desserts were both phenomenal too - fresh & light. We came back for more the next day. My husband wished he had my dish. I heard that Montreal doesn't have any Michelin stars, but if they ever come to the city, I don't see why this restaurant wouldn't have at least one. I would love to come back later.
Maison Boulud is an absolute gem! From start to finish, every bite was a delight. The Volcano Lava chocolate dessert was simply divine, rich, indulgent, & perfectly executed. The wine pairing was exquisite, enhancing every flavor on the table.
But the real surprise? The burger! As someone who usually avoids carbs, I couldn't resist, & it was absolutely worth it, succulent, flavorful, & perfectly cooked. & let's talk about the octopus salad. WOW! Fresh, tender, & beautifully seasoned.

From the very first interaction at the door, the warmth & care from your team shine through. Whether it's the valet team, Matthew helping me with everything , Alina lighting up the room with her presence & world-class service every single visit, Luigi & Ricardo bringing joy to my daughter by delivering balloons sent by the incredible Katia Piccolino, your outstanding marketing director with every detail is simply magical.
