This restaurant offers more than just a meal, it is an experience catered by professionalism and care. Meals are given special attention and thought in their design and presentation. Regardless if you appreciate the flavors presented to you it is a feast for all the senses. From the waiting staff making you feel welcome and at home to a cozy atmosphere, there is not much I would change from dining here. Most certainly recommend for a unique outing!

Food, service, and atmosphere of the restaurant were all phenomenal. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and bursting in flavour. The service was fast. The staff were all friendly, helpful, and polite - especially Eric! Can’t recommend it enough and will definitely be visiting again.

First, Uber still had the old location. Eventually made it to 22 Catherine but we wandered a bit trying to find a sign and building number. That’s on us. But restaurant was not easy to find at night. We had the 8 course meal with wine pairing. It was enjoyable and food was great overall…main meat duck dish was a bit forgettable. Not my favorite. I typically love course meals and been to many Michelin rated places in the past. For some reason, the pace seemed a bit too slow? Even though I’ve had 3 hour course meals before. Don’t know what it is. Anyway, overall, we enjoyed the meal. Can’t quite give 5 stars due to reasons above.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the five-course tasting menu at Bouillon Bilk, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, each dish was a beautifully crafted masterpiece that highlighted the restaurant’s dedication to quality and innovation. The meal began with a delicate amuse-bouche that set the tone for what was to come—balanced, bold flavors with a touch of finesse. The following courses were a harmonious blend of textures and ingredients, each one thoughtfully composed.

Unbelievable meal. 8 course tasting with 7 course wine pairing. This surpasses Daniel in NYC. The flavors and presentation were exquisite. The flavors innovative. The service impeccable. Somehow they have managed a fine technique in a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. This foodie knows her food. Trust me.

We came across the restaurant while walking by as soon as we walked in. It felt comfortable. All the food we ordered was very delicious.

We passed in front of this restaurant quite a few times as we live nearby. we were looking for something different to eat so we decided to give it a try. Actually Lia had already been with some colleagues from her previous employment. The interior decor is quite simple, the menu heavily favours combo options . We decided to go with the crispy chicken and rice as well as the pho. Service was OK. We kind of wish that we felt more welcome. Accessing the restaurant by foot is quite easy. Parking is a different story. if you’re lucky you may find street parking on Saint Catherine St. otherwise there are a few parking lots available in the area.

The staff was friendly and the service was fast. Our soup arrive fresh and hot. It’s a family restaurant, very original Vietnamese pho restaurant. Our orders come with free hot tea. There’s only street parking. They accept cash and credit.

I was highly impressed with the quality of the food. The vietnamese pork chop with white rice was pretty good. The runny fried egg really adds this authentic feel to it. The fried banana was just ok. The service was a little bit slow as the place was packed with customers going in and out at a good pace.

Some of the best beef pho that I've tried in Montreal.

I have been looking forward to go back since Covid, as it remained close and only started to be open for 3 days a week recently. We had the 7 Beef course set meal and it was better than I remembered. Given the price went up, but generally dining out got expensive due to many factors. If you have not try their specialties 7 beef courses meal, it is a must try next time you come here!!

It was such an amazing experience to try the 7 course beef, $90/2 persons. We also ordered the grilled calamari, the side sauce was super spicy 🥵

It's a downtown delight that not only offers a stellar service and chic ambience but also surprises with its reasonable prices. The attentive staff, sporting smiles, made us feel truly welcome. The sommelier ensured our glasses were never empty. The seafood stir fry served on trendy dinnerware was spot on. We loved the stylish, softly lit vibe - it was the perfect backdrop for an intimate evening. It's the perfect spot to enjoy an early dinner before heading to an event in the vicinity.

We are vietnamese. We have known Ong Ca Can for 3 decades. We still enjoy their food. The portions are generous. The food is great. I am told this restaurant opened in 1984 and is still owned and operated by the same family. I definitely recommend.
Martin Pham Dinh - 4 months ago

Couldn't recommend it more. Beautiful restaurant serving amazing, authentic food and run by a kind Vietnamese family. A great place to expand your experience with Vietnamese cuisine - try the 7 beef specialty and the chao tom, grilled shrimp wrapped around sugarcane. Everything was super fresh, the meats were cooked perfectly and the flavour was to die for. The traditional components of the dishes e.g. fish sauce and bun (vermicelli) were spot on, while they also put their own stamp on other components. Very reasonable for the quality and level of service.

I was actually going for dinner and passing my this place and found this vibrant place! I stopped by as was curious to find out about this place and understood that there’s a improv play in the next 10 mins. I seemed interesting and decided to stay back( cancelled dinner plans) and must say it was fun experience! The improv artists were amazing with great acting( improv) ..I got to meet some artists( who do this part time/ hobby) and very humble and talented bunch of people.. Cafe was nice too with good options and some great cocktails too.. Highly recommended to visit for the overall package - plays/ performances/people and cafe.. excellent vibes ..

It was my first time at this location. I really like that the room is small. It's ideal for a good view. It feels very intimate. It's perfect to go see your favorite stand-up comedian.

Had our final of improv there - such a blast ❤️

We spent sometime working in this cafe and it's really nice place. The coffee and breakfast sandwich is good and they have a cozy cafe in front and a great space to work in the back. They also have a stage, as other people already mentioned, that should be cool to go back to see some show.

If you're in the area and need some good junk food this is where you go. They've been around since 1912 so they're doing something right. 3rd party delivery is fine too but it's much better very hot as soon as they make it so eat there if you can.
David Gomes - a month ago

One of the few remaining really authentic places left in Montreal. I like their steamies. I don't often like fries, but I like theirs. I love sitting in that one seat at the front window and watching the world go by on St Laurent. Cash only!
William Binns - 4 months ago

The poutine was delectable, gravy and cheesy sauce over fresh, thick cuts of just-fried fries. Patient staff, well-managed (especially to the clueless tourists in front of me). Poutines and fries come in small and large sizes: shareable. Popular with locals and us foreigners. Burgers and hot dogs a staple too. Fun, casual, bus your own tray. Nice spot on the epic Saint Laurent Avenue.
Justin Rogers-Cooper - 11 months ago

Awesome counter restaurant for delicious, authentic steamies (hotdogs), poutine, fries, etc., in a historic restaurant, in a historic part of town. Highly recommended for tourists & locals alike.
Justin Milley - 3 months ago

The poutine was awesome and so were the delish hot dogs. It’s a landmark that’s been there for close to if not over 100 years, so it’s clear that the food has stood the test of time. If you reminisce about the Old Montréal taste of poutine and steamed hotdogs, then that’s the place to be.

Absolutely delicious! We took the mouth-watering duck wonton, jerk chicken and bavette de boeuf. All were done to perfection and filled with flavour. We also tried the three desserts and did not regret it! Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere.

Gordon Diver - 4 months ago

The food took HOURS to come...and we still had people that didn't have our food....I have no idea what happened but I think they need to train their staff a little bit more... something went completely wrong at our stay... It was the first day of our waitress and she was so sweet and nice. She just didn't get enough training or wasn't paired with someone with experience to help her. It just felt unfair to her honestly....I felt bad for her, she did the best she could. I would avoid this place unfortunately, but if you're reading this waitress, you didn't do anything wrong you did the best you could and don't let anyone put you down, I really blame the owner of this restaurant that really let you and us down.

Lovely place to eat and watch the world go by. The burger with Brie and bacon was delicious and the quinoa salad was also very tasty.

I like the seating of this restaurant. Although there’s air con but the restaurant is completely open to the side walk. There are no windows. It’s like sitting in the outside enjoying the fresh air and watch the cars and people going by. It’s a popular place. Crowded. The souvlaki combo is $20 tax included. Portion is generous. Fried potatoes are crispy. Rice and meats are tasty. They put all the sauce you requested in the bowl. But we did go back to ask for some garlic sauce to dip my pita bread. The staff are accommodating. I like this better than souvlaki bar. I’ll return.

Got the chicken shawarma plate and it was delicious. Chicken was seasoned well and the potatoes & garlic sauce were a great combo. The hot sauce is so flavourful as well. Would come back again!
Daniel Jin - 3 months ago

One of the best beef shawarma I have ever had. I am so glad we decided to do a late night venture from our hotel room and find this gem. The only down side of eating here is that I am now ruined for eating donairs or shawarma back home in Alberta. Nothing will compare to their toppings and portion sizes. The hummus on the pita just made it pop so much and the meat was done to flavourful perfection. The service was amazing and super friendly which just made the experience that much more. Also, super clean and really fresh, especially for a Friday night close to midnight.
Candice Beyer - 4 months ago

The restaurant looked very clean. The employee who took my order was kind and efficient. I waited about 10 minutes to receive my meal, which is very reasonable for such freshly made food. The portion was quite generous at a reasonable price. The location is a bit small however and not very cozy to eat there, and it is probably better to bring for take-out. Employees washed tables very fast after any use, which I appreciated a lot to see this good level of maintenance.

Food was okay. But for 45 dollars after tip, I should have gone to Harvey's. 1 trio and a chicken burger shouldn't be this pricy. The breaded chicken for the chicken burger was so thin. It looked like it was bought from the frozen section of a grocery store. I do approve of their french fries. It's crispy and well fried. Their cheeseburger was nothing special. For the atmosphere, we had several house flies buzzing about.

Excellente poutine! Small size is definitely the best for one person if you’re a picky eater. Very nice place!
Elise - 5 months ago

Best poutine in the city, no question. Got the famous smoked meat poutine and it's so good I'll probably dream about it. Great service!
Diansa Ngo - 6 months ago

Food court atmosphere with quick service. Card only, efficient service, but not in the super friendly range but no complaints. Petite size is filling. We tried Bacon and Smoked meats poutine. Both were good, not the best though. Good place to stop with a group who want different things.

I had an amazing meal here with a friend— as a lover of Indian food and flavours I’ve tried many different restaurants in various cities. I was deeply impressed with this restaurant’s warmth, hospitality and delicious dishes. The chef is highly involved in his guests’ culinary experience and takes care to check in— I would highly recommend this restaurant, their food and caring staff — can’t wait to return!
Harlene Bajwa - 3 months ago

Darbar exceeded all our expectations! We ordered the Murgh Malai, Tandoori Fish, and Chole Bhature, and each dish was a masterpiece. The Murgh Malai was incredibly tender and flavorful, the Tandoori Fish had the perfect smoky char, and the Chole Bhature was a delightful explosion of spice and texture. We paired our meal with two cocktails: a Whiskey Sour with an Indian twist and the Lahore Express, a litchi-infused drink. Both were unique and expertly crafted, complementing the meal perfectly. What truly elevated the experience was the exceptional service. The head chef was warm and engaging, taking the time to discuss our preferred spice levels and even offering to prepare dishes off the menu to suit our preferences. It's rare to find such genuine hospitality, and it left us feeling truly cared for. We can't wait to return!
Anita Venkitaraman - 2 months ago

Darbar deserves all the stars! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food was simply incredible—authentic Indian cuisine at its finest. The attention to detail in the flavors made each bite unforgettable. You must also try their one-of-a-kind drinks! The service was just as impressive—attentive, friendly, and efficient. They went above and beyond to make sure our dining experience was perfect. If you’re looking for an exceptional Indian meal, Darbar is the place to go. Highly recommend!!!!!!!

We had an amazing evening at Darbar. The food is excellent: flavorful, authentic yet modern, and well balanced. Cocktails were also good, but what we loved most was definitely the service. The chef/owner was patient, welcoming and gave us great recommendations; we could sense his passion and his love for his craft, which contributed in making the meal a memorable one. We will definitely be back!

I had an incredible dining experience at Darbar Restaurant in Montreal! The food was absolutely delicious—every single item I tried was packed with flavor, and I loved each one. The pav bhaji, in particular, was my absolute favorite—rich, authentic, and perfectly spiced. If you’re looking for authentic flavors, great ambiance, and top-notch customer service in Montreal, Darbar is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Well.. Isn't tapas supposed to be bite sized Quite a nice decor. It's beautiful and cozy. The evening started with a tartare duo (duck and salmon) the duck on being way more refined. This alone was quite the copious entree. Next was a sopa de tortilla which was tasty but the avocado in it didn't quite work. Then was a croquette de bacalao and empanada picadillo. Again way better one (empanada) than the other. The next plate was a risotto. I was not as pleased as the rest. The risotto was grainy and hard. Main plate was duck with beets and hazelnuts. The amarillo and feta mousse as accompagnement was fantastic But the duck was undercooked and quite greassy. The dessert was a good comeback with the delicious tres leche cake and creme brulee served on big plates.

Great for a bite! Loved the decor. Good wine selection as well.
Amanda Stewart Reiser - 5 years ago

Loved it! 3 of us tried almost every tapas, and the mussels as well. Everything was amazing. Our favorites were the beef carpaccio, salmon tartar, shrimp tacos, and chicken wings. Great service too - you can tell they make an effort to ensure you are happy.
James Barber - 8 years ago

Excellent experience from beginning to end. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable and offered great suggestions for tapas to try and for the bottle of wine we ordered. We really enjoyed every tapas we ordered, save for the shrimp which was average at best. The salmon tartare, the ceviche, and the arepas stood out the most for us. The atmosphere was nice. We really enjoyed our visit and we'll be going back.
Peter LaPointe - 6 years ago

We wanted to try this place for a while. Cocktails were average and there was a error in our order making us wait 40 minutes. However they made it up to us by offering the cocktails plus a bottle of wine. I think this place is better if you come in large groups and book in advance.
