Restaurant Le Bourlingueur

Just had a really good meal here. I don't usually post reviews but the owner went out of her way to help as I had a three year old and a six month old and truly felt like I was eating in her own home. The lamb stew was delicious! If I was spending more time in Montreal I would definitely come back. The ambience was perfect.

Went to this place when we were walking around old Montreal; honestly wasn't expecting that much but it turned out to be the best experience of our weekend there. The proprietor is a lovely woman from France who does it all; cooking, serving, hostessing, entertaining. She recommended some stellar wine to go with our food. We got the cheese plate and it was a great way to start the meal. My entree was tortellini in some sort of a vodka sauce and it was unreal. Additionally the vibes of the place are so nice, with the exposed brick and laid back atmosphere. It's the kind of place you can spend 2-3 hours at just eating and drinking wine and coffee and chatting (which coincidentally we did...) Highly recommend this place if you end up in Montreal for anything!

Nice place to eat in Old Montreal. Waiter was super friendly and made lots of suggestions. We had soup, main course (lamb stew, veal liver) and one desert (sweet apple). Drinks and beer was ordered as well. It took time to cook all of out staff but it was worth the wait as meals were delicious. 2 adults with 2 kids ended up spending close to $100 USD but everyone was happy. Place got full as frequented by locals.

We had a very disappointing meal here on a busy Saturday afternoon in November: 2 of our 3 soups were not hot, and my "vegetable option" tasted suspiciously liked tinned tomato soup - very acidic. My daughter's friend's pork roast entree was dry and almost inedible, my salad was limp and uninspired and the desserts that were included with the table d'hote were small and stale. The service was extremely slow and disorganized - the wait staff kept disappearing for long periods of time and we were wondering if maybe the chef had walked out and the wait staff were actually preparing the food.

Turned up at the door and the place was packed, but they managed to put together a table for us. The inside is simple but nice. The service was very friendly, although it was very slow which was disappointing - we had to ask for bread whilst everyone around us was getting theirs. The food was nice though - not brilliant but nice.
