Replacing Hachoir on Saint-Denis, Bouillon Albert brings the charm of traditional Parisian bouillons to Montreal, blending classic French comfort food with an approachable, laid-back vibe. Opened by Groupe Grinder, this 76-seat eatery revives the bouillon’s essence: simple, affordable dishes served in a lively atmosphere.

The menu, crafted by a powerhouse trio of chefs, features timeless favourites like escargots, steak frites, and leeks in vinaigrette. Indulgent desserts, like apple tarte tatin and profiteroles. A well-curated wine list rounds out the experience, with accessible prices.

With its bright, welcoming design—cream walls, a bottle-green bar, and an open kitchen—the space invites diners to linger over meals and enjoy the energy. Bouillon Albert is a delicious, wallet-friendly ode to French tradition, ideal for anyone seeking flavourful food without the fuss.
