Bis Butler - Montréal

Came for US consulate appointment and this place had amazing food, service is impeccable and the atmosphere is romantic and cozy. I suggest ending your dinner with the crème brûlée!

A long time classic Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Montreal, BIS is an excellent choice for a romantic dinner or a family gathering. Located in a typical coachhouse on Mountain (de la Montage) St. just south of Ste. Catherine, the interior is a somewhat somber darkish design in an irregular rectangular shape running the length of the building. Overall, BIS' menu runs the gamut of a truest continental Italian cuisine...pasta, veal, risotto and the like.For our meal, we order Caesar Salad (very good although on the smallish side), Fried Calamari (very good...nice batter and soft flesh), Lemon Risotto (excellent...a real winner), Veal Piccata Limone (very good), Spaghetti Bolognese (a classic...also very good), Penne Gigi (excellent), and Grilled Sea Bass (a daily special...also very good). Not only was the meal excellent but the value was great too...for a better Italian restaurant in downtown Montreal, the prices were very affordable and reasonable.Service was also excellent. A special call out to Marcello who took wonderful care of our table. Mille Grazie! Enjoy!

This was a lovely restaurant located on de la Montagne Street.First I must say the staff was excellent. I have a food allergy and they were so accomadating. Infact they even remembered from the note on my reservation.Its a quiet spot meaning no blaring music, somewhere where you can actually have a conversation. I went with my sister and we both enjoyed our meals. I started off with the lemon explosion cocktail which was very refreshing. I had the fried zucchini which I enjoyed. It was really good with a squeeze of lemon and some pepper.We both had the vegetarian option of Stuffed Eggplant with Ricotta. We are not vegetarian but just wanted to try it and were not disappointed. Its good, really good. To finish off I had the Cannola Siciliano.Its a smaller sized more intimate setting. They have several pictures of stars from sports and hollywood who have dined there showcased.I found the prices reasonable. The portions were very well sized.No complaints here.Vegetarian options: Delicious vegetarian options...stuffed eggplant sooo good!

We were looking for a place at which to eat when visiting Montreal. We are so happy that we came here as everything from beginning to end was delicious. They gave us complimentary veal meatballs, which were tasty. The bread was yummy. But our favorite was the lamb pasta. It was incredibly saucy and tasty. We had the creme brulee for dessert it was not too sweet which was a nice surprise. The service was impeccable also every single employee was kind and attentive. Be sure to check them out!

Excellent in every way. Very friendly staff, fabulous food (the black linguine with shrimp scallops was truly spectacular), a great wine list with lots of reasonable options (we had a buttery, yummy Chardonnay from Umbria) lovely atmosphere. Great for a nice dinner!!
