My family and I had a wonderful experience at Bouillon Albert. The evening started with exceptional cocktails, setting the tone for what turned out to be a fantastic meal. The wine selection is excellent, with a thoughtful and diverse list that perfectly complemented our dinner. The staff was also very accommodating with our children, customizing their meals to suit their tastes, which was greatly appreciated. For starters, my wife and I shared the eggs with caviar and the steak tartare—both beautifully prepared and delicious. For our mains, Amélie enjoyed the stingray while I had the trout, and both dishes were outstanding and paired wonderfully with the wines we selected. The kids loved their steak and fries, which looked so good that I was tempted to order it myself. Beyond the food and drinks, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with great music and truly attentive service throughout the evening. A memorable dining experience from start to finish. We look forward to coming back.
Reviews / Ratings for Bouillon Albert
Bouillon Albert is an absolute gen! Warm atmosphere, friendly staff and outstanding French home-style cooking- dishes that are as beautiful to look at as they are delicious! Genuine, carefully prepared food at a surprisingly affordable price, even more budget-friendly than most chain restaurants. If you are looking for an authentic French dining experience in Montreal, this is a must. Highly recommended!
Very nice place. I love
Great spot, Arthur was amazing!
Good food and service. Ordered escargot, bone marrow, beef bourguignon, and duck confit.
Absolutely stunning food! Highlight of our trip to Montreal. Fairly priced too. I will make it a staple of our visits to town
Everything was excellent...from the drinks, to the food and atmosphere. A1
great food!
We had an absolutely great dinner. If we weren’t here for such a short period we would certainly be back to try some more! The food, cocktails and wine were delicious. The staff were easily able to accommodate my gluten free partner. We sat at the bar and our bartender was lovely.
The only complaint I have about this restaurant is that if you're sitting along the windows facing the windows, place is a little tight and when waiters or waitresses pass behind you, they tend to bump into your back.
Comforting French-bistro style cuisine!
phenomenal!
Atmosphere, service, decoration, everything was nice and perfect. The issue was the food…We almost ordered every item from the menu (see photos). Lobster bisque and onion soup were too salty, beef tartare didn’t taste anything, all the fish (aile de raie et truite a l’oseille) were cook in probably a brick of butter (way too much), the maquereau au vin blanc was tasteless, fries were not even as good as McDonalds fries and the mayo was sour. The mille feuille dessert is really bad, the cream tasted like a diluted herb and milk mixture…The profiteroles au chocolat and creme caramel were good…It was very disappointing and the bill was 515$. However, the staff were very nice and professional.
Had a beautiful time, went for my birthday but said it was my friend's birthday to avoid the awkwardness. The gentleman at bar brought us a dessert and sang which was really kind. The food was fantastic, especially the os a moelle and steak fries. The mayonnaise was a bit too acidic though but rest was impeccable 🙌🏾
Great place!
Yall went brazy
food & service were just okay.
We visited in September, 2025. We had a reservation and they had us waiting 20 minutes. Then they forgot about us and left 4 of us to share 2 cups of water for half an hour. Also they don’t believe in ketchup? But the FOOD?? The food was delicious. I’ve never wiped my plate so clean. The bone marrow? Elegant. The steak? Rarer than I asked but delicious. The soup??? Divine. The fish??? Damn near licking the plate at the end. And the rice pudding??? A must have. We wanted to go back the next day and ask for pudding to-go but had to catch a train.
J’ai adoré, always been fan of French bistro cuisine but every dish was excellent. Belle ambiance and service.
Had dinner here tonight as a celebration for my sisters birthday. Had to ask for water (twice), and waited too long to be asked for a drink order. One of our appetizers never came, and when we asked our server “Rim” she immediately denied us ordering it despite effusing about said app when we ordered. The service worsened from there, culminating in her avoiding our table entirely, despite spending plenty of time at neighboring tables. We were excited to try this restaurant that seemed well attended and full of charm, but after receiving this service I can’t recommend this restaurant and won’t return. Wouldn’t advise servers to hover over guests while paying either - seems like a cheap attempt at intimidation. Compliments to the runners, host, and bus staff who were attentive and lovely. Price was good too but did not make up for the service.
Food is OK. Given the price, I expected more.Nice ambiance. Good date spot.
Excellent value for money with very good quality steaks at reasonable prices. Portions are generous, service is attentive and friendly, and the overall experience feels relaxed and welcoming.
Incredible experience here every time I go. The service is outstanding and the food is so delicious and very reasonably priced. Thank you to our servers Will and Arthur!
Snagged in by the French onion soup. Very much enjoyed the trout and green beans. Pleasant service, accommodating in English. The bar is well-thought out - snuggle spots for couples, comfortable for solo diners. My barneighbour's escargot smelled heavenly and the steak looked perfect.
really good service and food! they were very busy, so understandably we had to wait a bit in the beginning but it was worth it
