This was my first visit to the BBB in a few years and dispute my fond memories of this restaurant I was very disappointed in our experience. I ordered the salmon poke bowl, when it arrived one of the ingredients had been changed from fried avocado to fresh. I raised it with our waiter who said he knew of the problem because it has been 6 months they can’t order their premade fried avocado and that other clients have also complained about the switch. He went and raised it with his manager and we were told fresh avocado is more expensive so we shouldn’t worry. First, it is sucky to have something changed without being informed. Second, if a mistake is made in the menu six months ago fix it. Third, most restaurants I have worked in would comp the meal or offer a discount for their mistake. This did not happen. Lastly, I expected more from the restaurant in terms of quality. Why isn’t this homemade? My partner ordered the bison burger, the meat was quite rubbery compared to what we have had previously. Lastly, no high chairs are available only strapless boosters. I won’t be rushing back again after my experience. The food and service were not worth...

Charming décor of a quaint brasserie/bistro, BBB is a staple on Taschereau known for its wide selection of beer and undoubtedly Belgian influenced cuisine.
Quickly becoming our favourite restaurant for birthday celebrations with friends and family dinners, they also have a large terrace for outdoor dining and drinks.
Drink selection: So. Much. Beer. If you’re a beer lover, you’ll be in heaven.
Food selection: Incredible! Our friends and family faves are: the Mussels (of course), especially the Madagascar mussels and the Carbonnade Flamande (like a super tender beer-braised beef stew). And though BBB has been around a long time, they’re always coming up with new seasonal specials. A few specials we’ve sampled: lobster club sandwich, crab cake burgers, Cajun Mac & Cheese (with shrimp and spicy cheetos!).
Prices are reasonable, staff is super pleasant. Reservations strongly recommended for a Friday or Saturday evening dinner.
Recommending this place to everyone I know, and even managed to convert downtown Montreal foodies to come to BBB regularly with me. It’s well worth...
Read moreLots of positives in this place, the food, the après-ski ambiance in the city, the beer. The service is usually great, even when the place is packed, which is often. I’d give five stars but our waiter yesterday was terrible, I understand this is an exception but the only thing the guy did right was serve out group of 13 at the same time. I was waiting for the ghost waiter to refill water which never happened, for drinks which he forgot, for bread, all the basic stuff you learn first day on the job. Never once asked us if the food was ok.
Coincidentally, we were refused entry with a cake, which I understand and agree with, but if you expect us to be good clients, you need to be good patrons. I will point out that our group was multicultural, and one side of the table was speaking Spanish, although trilingual they couldn’t get service without yelling at the waiter as he walked away. The waiter simply never went to that side of the table. One member of our group had her plate spilled on her as the table was cleared,...
