BOUILLON BILK

"One of Montreal’s finest dining establishments, Bouillon Bilk conceptualizes dishes that are often traditionally Québécois in their ingredients, but much more modern in their preparations and flavour pairings. Take the combination of duck, strawberries, kohlrabi and soy in one of their dishes, or carrots with peach, feta, and pistachios in another — and it totally works." - Holly Tousignant, Ashley Joseph, Eater Staff

"Splurge at one of Montreal’s most notable restaurants just a stone’s throw away from Place des Arts. Located on Boulevard St-Laurent, Bouillon Bilk may be unassuming from the outside and quite minimalist on the inside, but the food coming out of François Nadon’s kitchen is show-stopping. Bouillon Bilk’s less formal younger sibling, Cadet, one block south, packs as much punch when it comes to flavour and creativity." - Daniel Bromberg, Mallory Frayn

"When Bouillon Bilk first opened in 2011, Montréal's restaurant critics were intrigued. The chef, François Nadon, had worked at several of the city's top restaurants but was largely unknown, and the restaurant was located on an undistinguished stretch of boulevard St-Laurent. But it soon became both a critical and popular favorite. The contemporary, minimal space is decidedly unstuffy compared with many of Montréal's leading restaurants. Similarly, the menu may be gourmet but it's also daring, with ingredients and preparations from Asia complementing French dishes and techniques. You can start with Japanese yellowtail, move on to a pasta dish, and end with a selection of Québecois cheeses, if you choose. There are also fresh oysters on the menu at both lunch and dinner."
