Archibald Microbrasserie

Great place! With all the airport food and drinks (wrapped sandwiches, burgers, mass beer…) this is a welcome change: micro brews, great food (had the bison appetizer — great! The poutine — ok). Which more airports would feature these types of pub/​restaurants over the cheapo chain stuff.

Superbe restaurant, beau concept, beau décor, généralement bien servi mais reçu un service très moyen de la part de Geneviève lors de notre dernière visite. N’ayant pas donné le pourboire suggéré sur la facture de 15% (3,98 $) J’ai donné quand même $ 3, Geneviève à lancer sur la table le coupon d’interac et nous a tourner le dos sans dire merci ni de bonne journée, visiblement fâché contre nous et visiblement inconsciente du mauvais service quelle nous a offert.
La nourriture était très bonne comme d’habitude, c’est juste décevant de se faire traiter de la sorte, mauvaise façon de commencer les vacances.

I had a pretty tasty tomato basil pizza here. But they promised a 30 minute service which was grossly inaccurate. The food came on cue but the server was never to be seen again. You can’t be an airport restaurant without a mind for speediness and that requires attentive servers. Overall, good food but I would be careful if you have a tight flight window.

Ordered the nachos which were fairly well topped with a variety of toppings. Once you get through the top layer you’ll find yourself with a lot of plain chips. Being a traveler I was mildly impressed with the quality of toppings as opposed to other hotel or airport restaurants. It does have a nice atmosphere for an airport and probably one of the better options in the Montréal airport.

Wow, where to start?! I’ve had good experiences at this resto before but tonight was bad service at its worst. First my salad had rotting lettuce which the waitress agreed to exchange. The replacement salad came with more rotten lettuce, just a little less. The beer sampler I ordered never came after asking about it THREE times. The waitress finally brought the wrong (single) beer… I let her know that wasn’t what I ordered and she agreed to bring me the proper order. To top it off, she said she would come back to explain what each of the six samplers were which she never did. I realize this is one bad waitress or perhaps a good waitress on a bad night but nonetheless, not impressed. Why is good service the exception nowadays? Not sure whether I’ll return to this «high on décor, little on substance» wannabe hipster micro-​brewery.

Sat waiting for service for 15 minutes while three separate newly arrived guests were served. Had to leave to I would have time to make my flight.

For airport food there’s not much selection. If you have time to kill it’s a nice place to sit down and grab a hot meal. Food average, server was polite. Better than a cold sandwich.

Good place to eat at the airport. Their bolognese pasta was pretty good and their décor is cozy. Service was great, friendly and attentive. Would definitely go back.

Came here around 8pm while waiting to catch a flight. The hostess asked if we had about 45 minutes before our flight to eat and then we were seated quickly. The décor… was cool, if not almost tongue in cheek CANADIAN. Lots of plaid. Since we had a long flight ahead of us we stuck to apps and tried the poutine with bison and the Mediterranean salad. Both were around $ 15. For airport food, I really wasn’t disappointed. The fries in the poutine were fresh and the gravy was delish. The salad had a lot of decidedly un-​Mediterranean flaves going on but top anything with crispy pancetta and I’ll give it a thumbs up. Service was fast and friendly. Service is in both French and English if you’re not familiar with Quebec.

Breakfast was OK, nothing special, but service was terrible — waited a long time to have my order taken, never asked if I wanted more coffee, never offered water, would still be waiting for my check if I hadn’t stood up. I’m sure waiters here get poor tips sometimes because of travelers using pocket change for tips, but that does not excuse poor service.

The food was good, but the service was slow. They made some mistakes in our plates as well. I ordered an omelet with a choice of 3 toppings and egg whites. It was served with potatoes and toasts.
Overall the restaurant is a good spot to go to before your flight.
Just be patient and enjoy the food when it gets to your table!

Overall, mediocre at best. Gets rounded up from 2 ½ stars. It is the airport, which gives the benefit of rounding up instead of down. The service was great! We had burger, Caesar salad, pasta and and tuna tartare. The burger was dense and tough. The salad was ok – leave it to the Canadians to put bacon and capers on a Caesar!!! The best thing was the poutine we had… gravy was rich and buffalo meat was tender. Beer was so so. Probably would try something different if I am back at the airport.

Comme tous les restaurants dans les aéroports il faut servir vite: le client que perd son avion car son repas est arrivé en retard je né pense pas qu’il soit le plus content des clients.
Aucun soucis à se faire: bon service, souriant, efficace et rapide !
N’ayant pas très faim j’ai pris un tartare au deux saumons en entrée, accompagnée d’une salade verte (supplément). Petit (je le savais en avance, étant considérée une entrée) mais très bonne ! La salade était parfaitement assaisonnée.
Rien a dire, c’était bon et rapide ! Mieux que manger un sandwich industriel assis sur un fauteuil et attendant l’avion au gate !
Ps: pour mieux vous servir, a l’accueil on vous demande si vous avez au moins 40 min avant l’embarquement. En 25 minutes j’avais fini et je suis parti ! ;)

Nice for an airport best cheese plate I’ve had at an airport … First cheese plate at an airport did I mention it’s at the airport

Pricy and the food is so so. I tried the blood sausage and it was a mistake. The service was great though!

Très bien si vous avez quelques heures à tuer avant de décoller. Bön choix de burgers, bières et bien sûr Poutine! Pas trop d’attente et service rapide et de qualité.

J’aurais aimé bien goûter à quelque chose offert dans le menu mais l’attente était tellement longue avant d’avoir une place pour s’asseoir et après on s’est fait ignorer par le personnel pendant une longue période! Il y avait facilement 4 – 5 membres du personnel sur le plancher.
Il faut considérer que les gens qui viennent à ce resto n’ont pas énormément de temps car ils ont un vol à prendre. Nous sommes partis après plusieurs minutes, on nous avait même pas servi de l’eau.

Was there this past Monday. Wasn’t greeted (to be seated) by anyone when we arrived. Were told off for not waiting to be seated when we tried to ask someone inside the resto. Was finally seated and waited for a wait person. Moved to the bar after all the wait staff avoided us and then finally left the bar after that staff ignored us as well. Too bad I couldn’t have reviewed the food.

Four stars under the category of «I realize this is the airport and do not have ridiculous expectations.»
That being said, I managed to get in here, receive surprisingly decent service, and order a burger without worrying if I would miss my flight. The food came out within 10 minutes after I ordered it.
Was it the best burger ever? No, but it was moist, fairly tasty, and served with fries that were actually hot.
Prices fall in the 20 $ out the door for main plates without drinks. They have a variety of options (including salads) for food, as well as a comprehensive alcohol menu.
Again, service and food are good considering that this is the airport. (You probably didn’t clear security just to have a night out at the airport!!!)

The Archibald Brasserie was a pretty nice place to kill 3 hours between planes. Can’t comment on the food, but the atmosphere was pleasant for an airport bar, the beer was pretty good, though a bit pricy, and the service was friendly. I enjoyed the IPA and my wife liked the whitbier. Was looking forward to their beer again on the return trip, but alas, they are in the Canadian zone of YUL and customs is a pain. The US zone could seriously use a place like this, you hear me?

It’s a pity this brew pub has a location only at the Montréal airport, but now I’m looking forward to get a pint in it when sending back visitors. Nice and refreshing beers, they also have a six glasses tasting option that can make you miss your flight. The beers are reasonably priced for an airport where drinks are known to be ridiculously expensive. Haven’t tried the food yet, next time may be. Service is sweet and quick, fun ambience, perfect way to say bye to loved ones or gear up for you next travel adventure.

Horrible experience.
Slowest service I’ve seen in a long time. Also some of the rudest employees. While eating lunch, they came by to put two tables together (one of which was the table we were eating at) tried to clean them, and then left dirty rags on our table and walked away.
Food was mediocre at best. Try one of the other restaurants nearby.

Comme a Québec!!!
Superbe décor, la nourriture tel que hamburgers et pizza est simple mais parfait pour un dîner rapide avant de sauter dans l’avion…
Au pire, on y va seulement pour le décor et on est ravi…
