Boris Bistro

Very nice patio to enjoy your evening. It’s a quite unique experience to have outdoor sitting and also secluded from the old Montreal crowd. Food is okay.....not horrible, and not great. I would come here for quick drinks, appetizer maybe before the main dinner.

Great, great place if you are celiac or your are looking for gluten free food. Food is amazing and the place is beautiful. The staff is super nice too so it is 10! I was on a business trip and I had dinner there most of the days. Walking distance from main attractions, you can do some sightseeing and then, enjoy a good glass of wine or a pisco (great ones too!).

Had a large group dinner here and was delighted to find we were seated in the garden. The food was delicious and decent in portion, but the real star is the ambiance the garden creates. I really recommend coming here for a beautiful spring or summer dinner!

Definitely enjoyed all three dishes (risotto, lamb pasta and trout). Was confused why we didn’t get bread but all the other tables did? Pretty good service as well and nice indoor and outdoor dining space.

Delicious flavoursome food, absolutely incredible service (professional, attentive and warm), and a lovely terrace setting- I couldn't ask for more. The portions are on the smaller scale and on a pricey side for what you get, but the experience is well worth it

The food was really good but definitely overpriced. The restaurant and terrasse atmosphere, decor and vibe was fantastic though so maybe that’s what you’re paying for instead of food quality and ingenuity. The staff and servers were really friendly and accommodating, although there was a slight stiffness to it. I wouldn’t say this was a casual place even with it’s relaxed vibe, because it seems to cater more to a mix of financial district and business professionals. The restrooms were really nice, though you have to exit the restaurant into the lobby of the building next door to access it.

Their patio is so cozy, private and romantic. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable! Loved their selection of wine. Tar tar and duck confit were very delicious too! Very nice place for a date, dinner with friends or family.

Ideal for dining outside in the spring, summer and early fall, Boris Bistro is a bit of an oasis on a busy city street with a terrace full of trees, plants and greenery and large patio umbrellas to protect you from the elements. You can dine inside or outside on the two-tier patio.The service at Boris Bistro was excellent. I would recommend making reservations as this place filled up pretty quickly. Unfortunately, I was feeling under the weather last May but the staff was very helpful in making me feel comfortable. More food for my hubby! I ordered the Mushroom Risotto and it was so delicious. This restaurant is almost entirely gluten free and is considered a farm to table provider. Working with local producers to create a menu that is seasonal, varied and interesting. Their Cheese selection was wonderful and all from Quebec regions. Lastly, I would recommend trying the Patatas bravas with aïoli and the salmon or steak tartar. Divine! On McGill Street, very close to Hotel St. Paul, it is conveniently located in Old Montreal and a few blocks from Victoria Square metro station.
