Real Burst of flavors in your mouth... All the dishes were so tasty and very fresh. We had Bénédicte Eggs, Salmon Rillettes, Lentils Soup, Dauphines Potatoes & Tarte Tatin! Can't wait to come back and try more! Thanks Billy & the team for your amazing job!

Superb gazpacho. Some of the best I’ve eaten. Loved the addition of almonds. The greens in the salad were very fresh and delicious as well. Friendly service too!

Billy, j’ai faim! is a cozy, chef-driven neighborhood bistro showcasing seasonal, Québec-sourced ingredients and French/European-inspired cooking. It’s a casual, affordable-to-moderate spot with a small dining room and a changing menu; there are several vegetarian options (the exact number can vary with the menu). I tried the mushroom croque and added the duck egg, and everything was cooked perfectly—the crispy, savory croque paired beautifully with the rich egg. The staff is warm and welcoming as is the dining area and experience. If you come on a weekday before noon you’ll have a better chance of walking in, otherwise I’d recommend reservations in advance.

I’m so happy I discovered this place! The shrimp roll was incredibly fresh and delicious, but the dessert was absolutely heavenly. It was truly unforgettable! Billy, thank you so much for the wonderful service and hospitality. We also really appreciated you warming up our baby’s food, and the baby changing table in the restroom was fantastic! Highly recommend this place, especially for parents with babies. Everything was delicious, and we can’t wait to come back! 😋

Lovely bistro. Food was nicely done. Beef tartare was nice as well the fish tartar. Nice shoestring fries as well. Had steak frites. asked for medium rare, came out more medium. The pat of compound butter was nice. Only issue was the croque monsieur. My son found a hair in the bread.

Had the Vietnamese chicken and waffles which were delicious. My friend had the Benedict with the duck eggs, which she found a little basic and needed salt. The éclatante ginger tea was good. The tarte tatin was a nice finish that we shared. Presentation was nice across the board. Service was friendly and pleasant.

An amazing and high quality French brunch place that is definitely worth trying. The flavorful combos and the buttery taste makes the food a delicious experience. P.S. Make sure to reserve a table in advance because it will be booked out on the weekend!
