🇨🇦 MTL | This Cozy French Bistro Offers Unbeatable Value! 🍷✨
👉 Bouillon Albert 📍 4177 Saint Denis St, Montreal, Quebec H2W 2M7 Tired of fancy French restaurants with $100+ tasting menus? This local gem delivers Quebecois-French flavors without the fuss—no fussy plating, no mandatory multi-course meals. Just order what you crave and enjoy! Perfect for sharing with friends to try more dishes. 🥂 🍴 What We Ordered: Starters: 🥩 Beef Tartare + 🐌 Escargots Both solid choices! The tartare had a tangy kick that woke up the palate. The escargots? Classic garlic-herb goodness—nothing revolutionary but done right. Mains: 🦆 Duck Confit + 🥘 Bouchée à la Reine (no direct Chinese translation, but think creamy chicken-mushroom vol-au-vent!) + 🫛 Garlic Green Beans (because #VegetablesMatter 😂) The duck was on the saltier side, but the bean stew underneath helped balance it. The Bouchée à la Reine stole the show! Buttery, flaky pastry topped with creamy chicken and mushrooms—comfort food heaven. The green beans tasted fresh and lightly seasoned, with spices that enhanced, not masked, their natural flavor. Dessert: 🍰 Millefeuille Decent but not mind-blowing. The sweetness was just right—no sugar coma here! 💫 Vibe & Value: Even on a Thursday night, the place was buzzing—proof that great taste and affordability win hearts. 💖 Perfect for: Casual dinners with friends Date nights without breaking the bank Anyone craving French flavors without the fine-dining price tag #MontrealEats #HiddenGems #MTLFoodie #MontrealLife #BudgetFriendly #FrenchBistro #ComfortFood #LocalFavorite #NoPretentiousness
