Bouillon Bilk

Either make sure you come late enough so you won’t go hungry later in the evening or make sure to plan for a second dinner. The food was plated beautifully and tasted heavenly, but portion size is not what you’re paying for. I still give it 5 stars because the food was really tremendous. We order two appetizers, a dozen oysters, two main dishes, and two drinks and spent over 200 $ with gratuity.
Everything we ordered was scrumptious. Started off with a dozen oysters from Nova Scotia and British Columbia, then had appetizers of big eye tuna (special) and turbot. Our mains were halibut for the wife and scallops for myself. Since we had all seafood, it probably contributed to a not so full stomach, but every bite was delicious.
French food isn’t meant to be filling right?

This was sooooo good. Just what we needed go a late night meal. The marinated beef ribs melt in your mouth. Nice atmosphere– pleasant but not stuffy.

We were only in Montréal for a few days and wanted to make sure we ate some delicious french cuisine. This place is just it!
Staff was exceptionally friendly and able to accomodate us last minute at the bar which was not at all crowded and still an excellent experience.
More importantly, the food was unique, creative and delicious! The portions were more than adequate leaving us feeling full and satisfied. The food is a bit pricier but so worth it. Everything from apps to dessert was top notch.
Would come back and recommend to others.

I won’t have enough word to describe the wonderful evening we spent at Bouillon bilk. We had such a nice evening from start to finish! The staff was helpfull and cordial! We had the pleasure of discussing wine choices with their somelier and he was right on the spot. Don’t hesitate to use his services it is well worth it and he is really interesting.
Now the dinner from start to finish was pure delight!!! Each bite was packed with flavor more extraordinary than the other.
This restaurant was a big 5. a must try for sure!!! Money well spent!!!

Hands down the best meal we had in Montréal! This was the «special occasion» meal of our trip and so, I was worried that it might end up being just another overly hyped up restaurant. Thankfully the many 5 star reviews for this place are legit.
As soon as we sat down at our table, we were excited to see that they offered a great 8 course tasting menu and thought immediately that we were going to do just that. However, a few more closer glances at the a la carte menu (which isn’t large by any measure) and we couldn’t resist the temptation to trail off and make our own tasting menu roll out.
For an amuse bouche, we went with the evening’s special which included lobster, peanuts and daylilies. Highly highly recommended. Excellent flavor combo and we loved the nice added crunch from the peanuts.
Moving on to the actual apps, we shared a half dozen of PEI oysters, the crab and the duck. Oysters were freshly chilled and served with 3 different kinds of sauces; All very enjoyable and the crab had a bolder curry taste served in a spring roll like shape. Plates were pretty in presentation but also great in flavor. Although I didn’t try the duck myself, it received very high marks.
For my main, I tried their scallops which was a larger portion than I’d originally expected. It came as 4 half silver dollar sized coins with a reasonable amount of vegetables. Each and every bite was savored. It was amazingly light, clean and fresh with the shiitake adding just enough of a contrasting taste without overpowering the scallops. We loved the dishes so much that 2 other entrees were ordered, the venison and the quail! When asked which was better, the response was «It’s like asking who you love more, mom or dad.» Enough said, all are must-​haves.
Last thoughts on this restaurant — Is it expensive? Yup. Are the portions small? Yup. But are you going to regret it? Nope. It’s definitely not an everyday place to go but if you’re looking for an upscale restaurant that will make your taste buds sing on a special occasion, this one will surely fit the «Screw it because I deserve it» bill.

Very humble & creative chef and food came out beautiful and tasty.
It will be a 5 star review if the service improves. Lack of proper training and waitresses bump on customers chair, drop forks, drop everything else on the ground so often you have to be mentally prepared. Is a weekly regular at this place, but last time I went they give me a bad positioned table. I called very early to make that reservation and they should’ve given a better one. I tipped them 20% every time I went because I appreciate the food. Clearly, the wait stuff deserves so much less than that.

This place was very good. It has a very unassuming appearance and you may not even know you were looking at it from the outside.
We went there for a weekend birthday. You have to book much in advance if you would like to get a table at this place. It was a good experience and overall the food was good.
The service was good and the staff was very pleasant.
Maybe its me, but I do think that the menu choices were slightly extravagant, but perhaps this a personal preference as I do prefer simpler foods.
I had the hamachi, grapefruit and cucumber as an appetizer. I really liked it alot.
For the main course, I had the venison. This is served with cauliflower, chanterelles and labneh. Also very good. The deer was cooked to medium-​rare. I don’t remember having venison this rare… I enjoyed it.
For the dessert, I had the caramelized orange. This was excellent, and I would definitely recommend it. It is not part of the regular menu, and was one of the specials that day

Il s’agit d’un restaurant dont j’avais beaucoup entendu parlé au préalable. Emplacement idéal si vous avez un spectacle à la place des arts ou dans les environs. Nous avions mentionnés cette contrainte, et nous avons reçu un service agréable et rapide.
Le restaurant se veut plutôt discret de l’extérieur, et peut presque passer inaperçu. Par contre la déco intérieure se veut simple, épurée et chic. Le menu est élaboré, et fusionne plusieurs saveurs et textures. Mon coup de cœur a été sans contredit le dessert: gâteau tamarin, noix de cajou, chocolat, yogourt cardamome et mangue… un vrai délice!
À découvrir!

My lunch experience here was very close to perfection! When I walked in, the girl at the front wasn’t smiling or very warm, other than that, it felt amazing! I sat at the bar, it was my first time dining alone, but it was fun! The bar tender was super friendly and polite. He explained the menu in English for me, made some recommendations for both food and wine and said Bön appetite to me for every single dish!
I took his recommendation for hamachi as the starter, the Arctic chat as the main course and white wine from burgundy as my wine pairing.
Oh boy, all of them were amazing! All the dishes were aesthetically pleasing, and they all had great creativity with a certain degree of twist. The hamachi was very fresh, but the chef used yogurt to add a sense of creaminess.
The main course, Arctic char was cook to perfection! One side were so crispy and the fish was still tender and juicy! I asked for salt for some extra seasoning, and the black chick peas were definitely unexpected for this dish. But they complimented well with each other!
And the wine pairing! So awesome, it brought out an extra dimension to the dishes. It was perfect with seafood for sure, I was able to taste the crispness of the fish. I wasn’t a big fan of wine before but now I don’t think any meal is complete without wine!
No wonder this place is among the top restaurants in Montréal! Stunning!

Normally one for cheap, filling grub, I’m very glad my partner and I made the trip to Boullion Bilk for her birthday. The food (we ordered an entrée and a main dish each) was some of the most delicious I’ve had in my life, no exaggeration. Never mind how visually pleasing each dish was; the balance of flavors, the texture, even the serving size were all just grand.
It’s enough to make a person enter the finance industry, just to afford food like this on a more-​than-​annual basis.

Brilliant quality lunch. Fantastic taste in starters and mains, and almost excessively large sizes. At $ 15 – 20 per entrée, this must be Montréal’s best lunch value. Wines and beers are also surprisingly reasonably priced; excellent Sancerre

Definitely one of Montréal ’ s best restaurant!
I really like how there is so much flavor and delicate each plate is.
The plates are pretty small so if you order only an appetizer, a main dish, and a dessert; you will mostly still feel hungry afterward.
We were 2 people and ordered:
2 amuse bouches
3 appetizers
3 main dishes
Although the plates were smalls ans I thought a some point that I will still feel hungry after my meal, they space the service of each plate very well. Hence, we were pretty full after the 2^nd main dish. We struggled to finish our last main dish… which was actually my less favorite of the whole night (venison was kinda tough… I had better elsewhere).
As my friend said during our dinner there, the sauce used is well balanced and compliments the main ingredient very well. We particularly loved the scallops and poached salmon dish.
Please reserved ahead of time if you want to eat there on a specific day and time (we reserved a week ahead and could only get a table at 9:30pm).
Expect to pay over $ 100/​person if you are going to consume alcohol.

Mon préféré à Montréal, le menu change souvent le staff est très compétent, j’aime le décor sobre et l’excellent service qui est orchestré au Bouillon Bilk. Excellent rapport qualité prix au vue de la qualité de la bouffe.

Bouillon Bilk is a small gem of a restaurant that is owned by Chef Francois Nadon, offering a contemporary twist on Canadian specialties. The hubs and I came here for an early dinner, and we decided to have more of a variety by ordering off of the a la carte menu. We tried the Beets (with smoked egg, horseradish, taliah, clementine, and cranberries; the beats were thin carpaccio-​style, with lovely bits of ctirus-​y clementine and the addicting mini sesame Asian rice crackers (that I could eat ²⁴⁄₇)); Scarpinocc (plump pasta filled with lamb, pistachios, olives, anchovies, and mint; this was okay, but the hubs enjoyed this); Hamachi (with yuzu kosho, grapefruit, fennel, and cucumber; super fresh hamachi with puffy rice crackers and super fresh cubed fennel); Black Cod (with miso, daikon, dashi butter, cara cara orange, and fermented turnips; beautifully-​prepared, the cod was amazingly fork-​tender, flaky, and just so delicious — super juicy with the light dashi butter sauce); Scallops (with cauliflower, shiitake, pear, watercress, and beurre noisette — literally one of the BEST scallop dishes I’ve tasted — the scallops were cooked perfectly, with a lovely buttered pan-​seared action going on to lock in its juiciness, and the beautiful complements of the cauliflower purée, the sweetness from the pear, and the lovely beurre noisette sauce); Beef (with raw chickpeas and a nice au jous sauce — the steak was cooked a perfect medium/​medium-​well); Rice Pudding (with vanilla, walnuts, juniper, mandarin, and clementine — this had a toffee-​like crisp that was super tasty, and the sorbetto paired well with the rice pudding); and, the Foie Gras (with brioche, maple, caramel, pecans, black raspberries, and sour cream; definitely the decadent out of all the desserts). Service was impeccable, ranging from Ms. Laurence, Mr. Eric, Mr. Jean-​Sebastian, and Mr. Jasmine — all super friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The restaurant itself has soft lights and has a chic sophisticated flair to it. Just note that the restaurant is unmarked, so you have to look for a large yellow electronic store sign and for the door with the restaurant logo. Bouilon Bilk was a great find! :D

Quelle expérience! Vraiment de dehors le restaurant né ressemble à rien. Mais une fois dedans le décor est raffiné, l’ambiance agréable. Le service est super, le sommelier connaît son métier et conseille très justement. Les plats sont raffinés, goûteux et très recherchés. On reviendra!

*Best meal I have had so far
*The restaurant itself was rather elusive. There was a lot of empty and sketchy store fronts in the area, and the restaurant’s sign was no where to be found either.
*The restaurant was gorgeous! The front windows let in lots of natural lights. The restaurant had a refined minimalist décor with a warm buzz of activity.
*Reservation is recommended.
*Bouillon Bilk’s menu isn’t very extensive — around 5 to 6 dishes for starters and mains.
*All the ingredients are sourced locally and the menu changes according to what’s available each season, thus some of the dishes I had for the night might no longer be available.
*loved how the restaurant gave off a high-​end vibe, yet service was incredibly friendly and well — you don’t need to dress up at all.
–Fluke Tartare — $ 20
On the initial bites, I found that the fluke was quite salty on its own, however the fresh slices of apples really helped to tone down the saltiness of the fish. The truffle added just a right amount of earthiness to the dish without losing the freshness and character of the fish.
–Scallops — $ 31
the scallop was glistening when cut open! Loved the fresh pear that brought out the sweetness of the scallop. The brown butter sauce had a nutty aroma and richness which really brought the entire dish together. The only complain I would have was the portion of the scallop. Though there were several pieces on the plate, they were quite small for a main dish at a $ 31 price tag.
–Venison — $ 34
The venison was tender and had a perfect medium rare temperature all the way through. The meat didn’t have a gamey taste and it just melted-​in-​your-​mouth-​goodness. The rosti underneath was crispy on the outside, soft and meltingly, well, potato-​ey within, it was so good! I believe the sauce contained both juniper and honeyberries, which provided a sweet, peppery taste that stands up perfectly to the robust flavors of wild game.

After extensive Unilocal research, the wifey and I selected Boullion Bilk for our NYE celebration dinner in Montréal. This restaurant is outstanding across the board — food, service, atmosphere. A «top 10» experience.
The restaurant has a refined minimalist décor with a warm buzz of activity. Our server was exceptional and attentive yet unobtrusive. At least 2 other people tended to us as well (water, bread, folding napkins, cleaning and resetting table).
But the food, oh gawd, the food. It’s been a few weeks so the exact details are a bit fuzzy, but I do very clearly recall being blown away at each serving. I tried checking the menu to refresh my memory, but its mostly new.
I will 100% visit again when I’m in MTL next.

This is one of the best meals I’ve had in Montréal. In fact, it’s one of the best I’ve ever had. I was already riled up from all the reviews and what other Unilocalers were saying about this place but expectations were blown out the door.
You can tell everything was meticulously prepared. This is as refined as it gets. Anything from meats to fish and vegetables is cooked to near perfection. The flavours have all the trademarks of fine French fare; subtle, rich, balance and harmonies. I have absolutely no criticism regarding the food other than maybe the portion sizes but that is expected for a place of this caliber. This place is surprisingly pretty good value considering the quality of the food.
This place does get busy though so a reservation is recommended. Their wines are also sublime but that is expected. Of all the great eats in Montréal it’s tough to stand out from the crow but this place not only does, it towers over others.

Une cuisine raffinée et un service hors paire. Littéralement, l’un des meilleurs restaurants à MTL!

Fairly easy to get reservations to, although it was for 8pm. Which may be a bit late for montreal.
The food is really good here. Everything is decomposed and reinvented. Had the scallops which were great. The brown butter sauce was amazing. Only knock on the dish is that the scallops were pretty tiny. I would expect bigger scallops for $ 30+ plate.
The seabass was pretty good as well and the venison was very tender.
The quebec cheese was great too. 5 cheese for $ 20 is a steal of a deal. And the desserts were great too. Got the rice pudding and it was delicious.
Would definitely reccomend this place.

Un des mes restos préférés! J’y vais avec des amis et c’est toujours une très belle soirée. Le menu change selon les arrivages, on y fait toujours de belles découvertes. La carte des vins pourrait être mieux garnies compte tenu de la qualité du menu.

Oh wow — this place was neat.
Seriously, this was one if not the best meals I have ever had. This was the last meal that my boyfriend and I had while on a trip to Montréal and I am SO happy we did it.
We started off with some cocktails. I went with the negroni blanc which was extremely refreshing. They also have a wide selection of wine and our waitress was very helpful in deciding. Maybe it’s just because I am used to New York City prices, but I thought that the alcohol was quite reasonable (even with out the USD: CAD conversion ;)).
We opted to get a tortellini and duck dish to start which was delightful. It was a little small for two people, but we certainly wanted to save room for the main course so it was okay. For the main course, we got the venison and the scallops. I am so torn on which one was better. I did enjoy the scallops because they utilized a lot of different sauces and textures which really added pizzazz to the fish, but the venison was cooked absolutely perfectly. You really can’t go wrong with either.
Now, the absolute BEST part of my meal was the pumpkin cake dessert. It featured a variety of nuts, cream, carrot shavings, and was topped with a little dollop of ginger ice cream. Given the complexity of the dish and components, every bite that you had was completely different than the last and legitimately made my mouth the happiest place on earth. If it had not been out last night, I would have made my boyfriend go back just to get that wonderful dish one last time.
Seriously this place is amazing — I can’t recommend it more. The chef clearly puts a lot of effort into building the flavors of each dish, and the result is something you have never had and probably will never have again.

Our lunch at Bouillon Bilk is in a heated battle with our subsequent dinner at Liverpool House for best meal in Montréal. Since I was soberer for the former, Bouillon Bilk gets a wink and a gun as the de facto winner. Our larger party mostly hadn’t arrived in Montréal yet, and as such, we took the opportunity to squeeze in a fancy pants lunch at nearby Bouillon Bilk.
We arrived right as it opened, sans reservations, and were lucky to be seated. Within 15 minutes, the dining room was packed with patrons on a Friday morning. So I think we made a good choice.
The menu, officially described as Canadian (New), was overtly French-​influenced and not unlike the multitude of good «American (New)» places you find in major cities like Chicago or San Francisco. Separating the wheat from the chaff is often difficult, but in Boullion Bilk’s case, I feel comfortable designating it the former.
Despite the weekend of indulgences awaiting us, we still went overboard with the lunch. For starters, we went Kayne-​style ham, getting oysters, foie, and tartare (tuna or hamachi, can’t remember which). All just fantastic, but at a French-​inspired place, the foie better be a cut above, and it was.
For mains, I had a hard time deciding between the octopus and the duck confit, two personal French favorites that are well worth the coin when cooked well. I opted for the former while my compadre did the latter. Again, both dishes were wholly excellent. Overall, lunch at Bouillon Bilk was a great starter kit to a fun weekend.

J’ai eu la chance d’essayer ce resto il y a quelques semaines et j’ai ADORÉ! Malheureusement, le détail de ce que j’ai mangé m’échappe, mais je me souviens avoir fait de belles découvertes et avoir eu de très belles surprises. Les plats étaient «simples» mais très gouteux et de qualité. Par «simples», j’entends que les plats étaient composés de peu d’ingrédients, mais d’extrême qualité. Tout était très gouteux. J’y retournerai certainement!

Excellent restaurant
Je suis allée pour ma fête et je né suis pas déçu
Le restaurant et beau mais attention soyez sure d’avoir l’adresse car vous pouvez facilement le manquer
Nous étions 4 et tout se que nous avons essaye étais délicieux.
Entre

Homard aux arachide= wow! A essayer
Carpaccio de boeuf= très savoureux avec le gout du café
Plat principal
Pétoncle= excellent la cuisson était parfaite saisie seulement sur un cote et que dire du beurre de noisette c’est un mariage parfait
La morue avec les palourdes= excellent plat très recherché pour ses mariages de gouts

Le cerf= cuisson a perfection
En conclusion les plats sont très recherché et les chaque assiette était délicieuse
A essayer!

Sehr schönes Restaurant mit sehr gutem Essen!
Man würde ein solches Restaurant in dieser Gegend wohl eher nicht vermuten und wenn man nicht wüsste, dass man dort richtig ist, dann wäre ich vermutlich vorbei gelaufen.
Das Restaurant ist sehr schlicht, aber schick eingerichtet. Die Bedienungen sind sehr freundlich und aufmerksam und gestalten den Aufenthalt sehr angenehm.
Jeder Gang wird beim Servieren noch einmal erklärt und sieht nicht nur toll aus, sondern schmeckt auch genial.
Die Preise sind zwar nicht ganz niedrig, aber man bekommt wirklich etwas geboten für sein Geld.
Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert!

This was our favorite restaurant in Montréal.
We arrived after hours of riding bikes. We were casually dressed, sweaty, and covered in dust; however, the employees at Bouillon Bilk welcomed us just like the best dressed folks there. We saw everybody at Bouillon Bilk. There were beautifully dressed people in the restaurant as well as a casually dressed family.
The restaurant itself is gorgeous. The front windows let in lots of natural light. The lines are straight and clean. The elements were modern. For example, the sink was outside of the bathroom and was long and communal. It was really neat and surprising.
And then the food. M ordered the duck. It was amazing. She let me try some. It was tender and melted in your mouth. It melted and it mixed with the sauce and contrasted with the fresh greens. It was a full song with harmony.
I got the cucumber salad. I love the freshness of cucumber and Bouillon Bilk took that characteristic and let it shine. It was enhanced with a few radishes, some goat cheese and some crispy nuts. It was crunchy, soft, and light.
Next, we got three desserts: a cheese plate, strawberries, and chocolate. Yum, yum, and YUM! When we first made our reservation, we were told that the table would need to be free by 8:00 PM. As that time drew closer, and we were still enjoying our dessert, I asked our server. He encouraged us to linger and submit to the pleasures before us.
Our server also told us about our next favorite restaurant in Montréal: Hotel Herman. We would have gone to Bouillon Bilk every evening if the menu was more extensive. But that’s some of the poetry of Bouillon Bilk. It knows what it can do and it executes it will finesse.

Très belle endroit espace blanc chic clientèle de bureau le midi. Repas gastronomique très bon service vin au verre ou bouteille commençant à 32 $. ;)

Délicieux! Ça faisait longtemps que je voulais y aller mais enfin, j’en ai eu l’occasion! Tout était délicieux, les portions copieuses. Nous y avions été le midi. Le menu est quand même assez cher mais ça valait la peine! Bön choix de vin

Très bonne table dans le Quartier des Spectacles ! Voulant célébrer l’anniversaire de ma copine, quelle meilleure occasion de l’inviter au Bouillon Bilk. De l’entrée (Entrée de crabe 18 $), au plat principal (Pétoncles 31 $) et au dessert (Dessert du jour 10 $), vins, tout était à la perfection, tant au niveau du goût et de la présentation. Délicieux. Déco intérieure, neutre et moderne. Bön service de la serveuse. Un endroit pour passer une belle soirée en bonne compagnie pour des occasions spéciales et surtout bien manger.

Un sans-​faute
Un restaurant plutôt discret de par son emplacement et son apparence. La devanture toute vitrée donne directement sur la salle et les tables. Il faut s’approcher du renfoncement de l’entrée pour découvrir le nom de l’enseigne apposé sur un mur brut. L’intérieur plante un décor minimaliste, classe et moderne.
Recherchées et minutieuses, les assiettes exposent des palettes de couleurs et de textures. De nombreux ingrédients composent la scèné. À chaque élément décrypté un à un, une émotion. Aucun né prend le dessus sur l’autre; au contraire, chacun joue un rôle clé tendant vers un ensemble sublimé. La qualité et la fraîcheur des mets né sont pas à prouver. Sans parler de la viande qui jure de tendreté.
Pour ma part, je n’ai choisi que les spécialités du jour.
Entrée: Crabe des neiges du Québec, vinaigrette à la lime, crème sure à la carotte, pois verts, croûtons aux amandes, amandes vertes, oseille sanguine
Plat: Duo de boeufs — contre-​filet et joue fumés et braisés, pommes de terre aux lardons, crème sure, oignons caramélisés, champignon Portobello, poireaux et pois verts
Dessert: Gâteau éponge, confiture de fraise, gel à la fraise, lait d’avoine, sorbet crème sure et fraise, granité au babeurre (lait battu)
Alors que mon conjoint, lui, a préféré les plats de la carte. (Anyway, à chacun de nos restos, nous mangeons la moitié de l’assiette de l’autre.)
Entrée: Saumon fumé, rutabaga, poire asiatique, moutarde, riz sauvage
Plat: Cerf, topinambour, quinoa, noix de Grenoble, pied bleu, café-​chocolat
Dessert: Ganache, noisettes, citron, bergamote, crème
Big up au serveur qui a eu la gentillesse de me donner une feuille et un stylo ainsi que la patience de me dicter les spécialités du jour tandis que je recopiais mot pour mot comme si j’étais à l’école –_​–
Mon coup de coeur: Tous les plats que j’ai goûtés, sans exception.
Mon astuce: Vu la popularité, réserve à l’avance.
Avis initialement publié dans mon blog culinaire «Délice ou Supplice» (lien dans ma bio)

I love the name of this restaurant, WOO for alliteration. Boullion Bilk — it’s fun to say. I find the name attractive as well as everything inside — environment and cuisine. All appealing and cool and lovely. The décor is extremely simple and clean. Wooden floors, white walls, white tablecloths and napkins, big heavy wooden tables. No crazy artwork or light fixtures, just simple textures and clean lines.
We started with the «Quebec Cheese Assortment» (5 cheeses for $ 20 or 3 for $ 15). Of course we got 5, and they were each local and incredible. I can’t remember the exact names of each cheese, and I know they rotate depending on what’s available, but they’re five very different and beautiful options. We ate every single bite, of course. What’s better than cheese? I can’t think of anything.
For my entrée, I ordered the scallop dish which comes with zucchini, shiitake mushrooms, pear, and watercress served in a brown butter. Oh my stars, you guys. These scallops were the most buttery, perfectly seared, velvety pieces of fish everrrr. The brown butter was rich and fantastic and the pear provided a really interesting sweetness. This particular dish was $ 31 which is a bit pricey considering the small portion. It’s enough food for one person surely, a healthy size, but I was craving a bit more in the end.
Wonderful wine menu here as well with some great local options.

Je recommande chaudement.
Tout y était: service impeccable et sympathique, apéro délicieux et original, superbes huîtres en entrée.
Pour le plat, les pétoncles étaient tout simplement somptueuses.
J’ai déjà hâte d’y retourner.

Toujours aussi bon. au top !

J’avais hâte de venir découvrir ce restaurant et nous avons profité du vendredi du week end de paques pour venir manger ici le midi. L’attente en valait la peine :)
Nous avons été réellement emballé par tout ce que propose ce restaurant.
Le cadre est épuré et accueillant. On se sent à l’aise dès que l’on arrive.
Le service est bon, RAS sur ce point là.
Concernant la cuisine nous avons réellement adoré. Les plats sont très bon et on ressent que le produit ainsi que la technique de cuisine sont au point. J’avais pour ma part pris un tartare de cerf (plat simple) et j’ai adoré. L’assaisonnement était très bon mais pour être parfait il aurait juste fallu un peu moins de mayo et que la viande soit coupé un peu moins fine pour avoir plus de mâche. Les frites maisons très bonne et ce qui m’a le plus ébloui est la salade. Oui, la salade du tartare … elle était fabuleuse avec un assaisonnement et un assortiment de légumes racine (radis …). Je pense que c’est la meilleur salade verte d’accompagnement que j’ai mangé dans un restaurant tout simplement :) Cela a encore plus sublimé le plat !
Ma femme avait pris des raviolis avec du homard et des épinards. La sauce était juste folle, un régal et ce plat était aussi majestueux !
Concernant les desserts nous restons sur la même lignée, parfaits !
Pour le midi nous nous en sommes sortis à moins de 40 $ par personne (taxe et tips inclus) pour un plat et un dessert avec café chacun.
En clair nous recommandons fortement ce restaurant et nous sommes sur de revenir car l’expérience culinaire était au RDV et cela à le mérite de devoir être précis.

Dispendieux mais excellent. Service parfait! Drinks excellents! Plats vraiment au dessus de ce qui se fait à Montréal. Hautement recommandé!

Diificile à trouver, bien cachée sous la vieille enseigne d’un magasin électronique.
Mais ca vaut le détour. Bonne bouffe, bon service, bonnes bouteilles de vin

Mardi midi, il né reste que le bar pour les gens qui comme moi, n’ont pas cru bon de réserver. C’est un moindre mal, car je vivrai la même expérience culinaire qu’eux.
Je débute par le ceviche de pétoncles qui est tout a fait phénoménal… Parfait amalgame de saveurs et juste assez parfumé pour qu’on puisse quand même distinguer le goût délicat du pétoncle… Wow. Dommage que l’assiette n’en comporte pas plus.;-)
Je suis un peu déçu quand je vois arriver mon plat de saumon bio car les pétoncles m’ont solidement ouvert l’appétit et j’ai vraiment faim. La pièce de saumon semble petite mais elle se révèlera finalement plus grosse que je le croyais. De plus, les gnocchis qui l’accompagnent forment un parfait ensemble qui fait que je suis parfaitement rassasié lorsque je termine mon assiette.
Le service est sans faille et on a l’impression que le serveur né s’occupe que de nous alors qu’on voit très bien que le resto est bonde.
La patronne semble de plus le chef d’orchestre qui dirige les troupes d’une main de maître.
Bravo… On y retourne encore, encore… Et encore…

Savoureux. Un resto dispendieux qui vaut la peine! Service parfait. Bons mariages de vins et mets.

JE SUIS SOUS LE CHARME!
Une ambiance épurée, un personnel souriant et accueillant et des plats bien présenté et tellement savoureux.
J’avais entendu plusieurs bons commentaires, mais j’ai toujours remis à plus tard d’aller y faire un tour parce que le restaurant appartient à des anciens du Leméac (restaurant que j’apprécie très peu) et parce que, bien souvent quand j’entends des tonnes de bonnes critiques, mes attentes s’élèvent et je suis déçue.
Finalement, me disant que la blogueuse culinaire que je suis (la boufferie) n’avais pas le droit de né pas connaître ce resto dont tout le monde parle, j’y suis allée hier, pour dîner avec une amie.
En entrée nous avons pris la soupe et la verdure du jour. Habituellement j’évite de prendre les entrées du jour parce qu’on se retrouve toujours avec un potage ordinaire et une mesclun… Ici ce n’est pas le cas! Un potage d’asperge avec lardons et cornichons: délicat et bien présenté. Pour la salade: jambon de campagne et cantaloup était au rendez-​vous!
En plat principal, du canard confit avec nectarine et le summum: le doré avec champignons, bouillon, radis, etc. Un délice!
Évidemment, on termine une si belle expérience par des desserts: un pot de biscuits (5 biscuits mous, moelleux et chaud aux pépites de chocolat) et une crème prise avec chocolat dulce et prunes!
Si vous y aller, commencez votre repas par leur cocktail: limonade maison, sirop simple, coriandre, vodka, vin blanc et soda! Ça goûte le beau temps!

Le Voir nous dit: «Charmant et étonnant petit resto, le Bouillon Bilk prend racine tranquillement mais sûrement à l’orée du Quartier des spectacles. À découvrir à tout prix.»
Moi mon coup de coeur c’est les linguini au fromage bleu et bacon double fumé…
