APPETIZERS:

For the one of the appetizers at Bouillon Bilk they have a DAILY SOUP. We went there on a Wednesday for lunch and the soup was zucchini. The soup was creamy and heavy, with just the right amount of soup. Served on the side of the bowl are slices of pear, blue cheese and grilled zucchini. They are meant to be mixed with the soup to in-hence the flavor. Another another appetizer you should try is the DEER TARTARE. It was just the way tartare should be. The deer was strong but the cracker made it taste just right. It was chewy and brought serenity to the mouth. It tasted sort of like steak tartare but gamey. When you go there you should definitely try it. Another appetizer you should try the SMOKED SALMON. Smoke salmon was amazingly amazing. It was no ordinary smoke salmon that you spread on your bagel, this was Scottish smoked salmon. It was served with papers which enhances the flavor, which created delicious smoke salmon it was. Another appetizer you should try is the SALAD. It was dressed in a beautiful mayonnaise like dressing. In it was pears shredded carrots cabbage and grapes along with other assorted greens. It might've been the best salad in Montreal because of the dressing.

MAIN COURSE:

A must try at Bouillon Bilk are the BRAISED PORK CHEEKS. The cheeks were so tender they fell apart on your fork. They lay under clams and chorizo sausage. All of the other components on the plate made everything come together into one big delicious dish. Another main course you should try is the BEEF. The beef was served with mashed potatoes and melted cheese on top. If you try that for lunch make sure to have a late dinner, because it was very heavy. There was an abundant amount of cheese and mashed potatoes with mixed with the beef like bread-and-butter. The beef was cooked to a perfect medium, the most popular way. Another main course we tried is the DORE FISH. It was a little fishy, but otherwise it was good. It was served with a carrot pure and a tossed salad.
