Our Guestbook
“ Atmosphere: 8.5/10 Located in Old Montreal’s lively nightlife district, Bisou Bisou is a spacious basement bar with a wide mix of seating options — from bar stools to larger group tables. The vibe is casual but stylish, with playful art featuring alcohol-inspired themes that seem to echo late ’80s or early ’90s aesthetics. Design details like exposed brick and tiled walls add warmth. Music volume is well-balanced, making it a comfortable place to talk. Drinks: 8/10 Recommendation: Le Petit Elephant The menu leans into lighter spirits and lower ABV cocktails — it’s a clear concept that’s even mentioned up front. Each drink comes with detailed notes on flavor, ingredients, glassware, and alcohol percentage, which makes it fun and easy to navigate. Flavors are relatively balanced. Above-average glassware, nice coasters, and good presentation round it out. Service: 7.5/10 Water was served on arrival. The team is friendly and attentive, but the bar feels lightly understaffed for its size — expect some delays on orders, especially when it’s busy. Prices are average for Montreal and feel fair for what’s offered. ”

“ This is an INCREDIBLE bar! We came in here just to check it out because it was across the street from our hotel and were blown away by our drinks. We ended up coming every night we were in town. Every cocktail (and mocktail) was incredible and better than any other we had in Montreal. I highly recommend making a stop here if you’re nearby or far away. It’s worth the trip! ”
