“Toujours excellent depuis ses premiers jours jusqu’à ce jour!“

“An unforgettable evening at Joe Beef!

We had dinner at Joe Beef on July 3, and it absolutely lived up to its legendary reputation. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed into an atmosphere that was warm, eclectic, lively, and full of personality. The restaurant has a charm that’s impossible to fake—it’s energetic without feeling rushed and makes you feel like you’re part of something special.

A huge thank you to Simon, our server, who made the evening exceptional. He struck the perfect balance between professionalism and fun, making us feel genuinely welcome while expertly guiding us through the menu. His wine recommendations paired beautifully with our meal, and his enthusiasm for the food and the restaurant was remarkable.

Every dish was outstanding, but the escargot was absolutely phenomenal—rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The tomato salad was surprisingly one of the highlights of the evening, showcasing incredibly fresh ingredients with simple, flawless execution.

Simon also steered us toward fantastic wine selections that complemented every course, and he saved room for dessert with recommendations that were the perfect ending to an already incredible meal. Every bite was memorable.

Joe Beef isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. Outstanding food, incredible hospitality, a unique atmosphere, and service that goes above and beyond. Simon helped make our visit one we’ll be talking about for a long time.“

“La cuisine est extra, service magnifique sans être guindé, belle carte de vin ! Je recommande ce resto sans hésitation! WoW 🤩“

“Un service amical et attentionné, des plats super créatifs mettant en vedette des ingrédients locaux, un apportez votre vin à prix plus que raisonnable pour la qualité et l’expérience. Je recommande sans réserve.“

“Excellent brunch — rich and indulgent. A really enjoyable brunch, made better by a lovely spot outside. The fresh fruit plate was beautifully presented and perfectly ripe, and the pastry board was the highlight — a flawless pain au chocolat, a rich almond croissant, and a classic butter croissant, all clearly made in-house. The bread basket arrived warm with several varieties and good butter. The charcuterie platter was solid but not the standout — decent quality, though a step below the rest of the spread. Service was a real strength: polished, attentive, and friendly throughout. Sitting outside in the garden setting was a real treat — calm, green, and relaxing. It’s a rich, calorie-heavy brunch — come hungry and pace yourself — but a very satisfying one.“

“Brunch en famille pour la fête des mères ce 12 mai 2024. Tout était parfait ❤️ l’atmosphère conviviale et chaleureuse, le service courtois et très sympathique (merci Marine avec ton beau sourire 😀) et que dire du menu, varié, délicieux et goûteux Miam 😋 accompagné d’un bon Mimosa. Une 1ere expérience réussi dans un décor chaleureux. Nous reviendrons c’est certain“

“I love this place sooo much clement makes the best drinks“

“My wife and I had a fantastic evening here on Friday. It has a warm atmosphere that made us want to stay much longer than we would have normally. The food was exquisite, and a good value for the quality provided. The wine list was extensive, featuring wines from several French regions, as well as some from Italy, Spain, US, and Canada. The servers were attentive, speaking French and English, and there was a sommelier on staff to help with the wine. The plates weren’t overly large, but we were quite filled after three courses, wine, and an aperitif. We are definitely coming back the next time we’re in town.“

“Fabulous meal - some of the most inventive cuisine we’ve experienced anywhere. Great and friendly service, chic and comfortable decor. Definitely going back whenever we can get another reservation!!“

“Délicieux! Très content d'avoir découvert un restaurant d'une telle qualité.“

“Insane food ! Great service nice vibe I would recommend!“

“Une bonne bouffe, dans une atmosphère décontractée et avec un personnel agréable!“

“One of my favorite hotels ever!! Right in the heart of old Montreal, and a short walk to everything that Old Montreal has to offer. It sits on a beautiful cobblestone street, and is in an old, historic building. The rooms were beautiful, with windows that open to let in some great fresh air. I loved their little breakfast, which consisted of different breads each day, spread, cheese, and some cold pressed local juice. Just a top notch experience, and affordable too!“

“Meilleur qualité-prix pour les déjeuners/ brunchs. La nourriture est excellente, tous les employés sont hyper gentils et l’ambiance est cozy!“

“My experience there was wonderful very good food and service , very friendly! Excellent!“

“Nourriture excellente et le service de Ludo est incroyable. Je recommande ce restaurant.👌🏻“

“Hand down, je n’ai jamais aussi bien mangé qu’au restaurant Le Millen. En plus du décors de feu et du service impeccable sans trop de chichi, c’est littéralement de l’art en bouche. Vous avez mis la barre haute pour mes prochaines sorties culinaires. ⚡️Juste. Allez-y tous!“

“Mon restaurant préféré à Montréal! Mon chum et moi y allons dès que nous souhaitons passer une belle soirée.“

“Great food and atmosphere. Came in here during a long layover in the city. Had the smoked salmon bagel and an iced coffee, bill came out to $37.66CAD with out tip. Feel that’s pretty average given the area. Food was very good and i enjoy the open kitchen view. The coffee was also delicious, got the salted Carmel latte. Menu had French and English and the service was fast and kind. Great spot for a nice lunch.“

“Tout..💞.. Service nourriture“

“Meilleure pâtisserie française à Montréal 🥰“

“Le Moldavie est un restaurant avec une ambiance festive, doté d’un excellent service avec Lorenzo et Buddy 👌🍷 très bonne cuisine et carte des vins intéressante !!!!“

“Une soirée de réunion familiale de 24 personnes très réussie à la Maison Verte: organisation facile, belles suggestions du proprio, excellent service attentionné, nourriture de qualité, plusieurs choix sur le menu de groupe, belle terrasse et salle privée à l’étage: un succès sur toute la ligne! 😊“

“Le menu de la Saint Valentin était un véritable régal!“

“Première visite à ce resto et très satisfaite! Excellente nourriture, excellent vin et superbe ambiance.“

“Lovely small restaurant. Artic char as an appetizer was divine. Halibut with asparagus was delicious.
Restaurant is loud and space is tight. Definitely reserve before going there.
Server was nice... But she did not fit the vibe of the place which was the only downside I could see.“

“It was absolutely a blast!!!! I had really amazing food despite the fact that I came to a dinner super club without any expectations.

Their entre and to share were great! Their full menu also has seafood and steak and others. Good wine list they have with decent price.

There were shows to be discovered each nice and the girls were incredibly talented and HOT!!!

I haven't been clubbing a lot and I would definitely come back here! Such a vibe 🐇❤“

“My daughter and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch here during our visit. I ordered the Table d’hôte lunch, while my daughter chose a few items à la carte. Everything was delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and beautifully presented.

A few dishes really stood out. I especially loved the butter sauce served with my daughter's trout, and the rhubarb custard dessert was fantastic. Rhubarb and flan are two of my favorite things, so it felt like that dessert was made just for me!

Our server was excellent. Although she spoke limited English, she was gracious, patient, and able to answer all of our questions. We felt very well taken care of throughout the meal.

One helpful tip for fellow English-speaking visitors: this restaurant is separate from the culinary school's student dining program. I misunderstood that before our visit and thought they were the same thing, so I wanted to mention it in case it helps someone else avoid the same confusion.

Overall, we had a lovely experience and would happily return.“

“We had a great time !!! Wonderful staff and food was divine. BEST mashed potatoes. Claudette & Karl Bartlett“

“Loved our experience at Nicole! We stopped by for casual drinks with friends and shared the octopus, tuna, and fries…everything was delicious. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was amazing. We seriously need someone like him in Toronto… although I don’t think he’d want to leave! 😂 The music, atmosphere, and vibe were perfect. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Accueil super chaleureux, service extraordinaire, repas cuisiné selon les attentes. Nous sommes passés manger au Holder pour mon anniversaire et notre mariage à venir et nous n’avons pas du tout été déçus. Bravo à toute l’équipe, mon futur époux et moi avons adoré notre expérience!!! 🖤“

“what is so special about this place?? Everything! Owners are one of the amazing and talented chef in the town! plus let not forget about stuff who is working there! William is amazing person.. what else do you want?! amazing food and fantastic atmosphere!😍“

“Tucked away at the back of a church this restaurant is truly a hidden gem. We sat at the chefs table and were able to see all the food being prepared and ask the chefs more details about the food. We had the wine pairing menu which was excellent. Our server was very accommodating as one of the wines was not to our taste and they quickly replaced it with an excellent choice. The flavours in each course were delicious and made want to savour every bite. We will definitely be returning to Restaurant Candide again.“

“Je suis allée avec un groupe d’amies depuis la réouverture du resto et nous avons eu droit à un service impeccable et les plats étaient excellents. Le tartare de bœuf est un des meilleurs en ville et les gnocchis au homard était délicieux. Bravo à toute l’équipe! 👏🥂“

“Great food! Loved our experience there. Staff is professional and so nice….“

“Résidant dans le quartier, j'étais intrigué de passer régulièrement devant. Puis après avoir consulté les nombreux avis positifs en ligne, j'ai sauté le pas sans hésitation. 8 ans plus tard, je suis toujours un fan inconditionnel d'Antonio et Danny ! Quel excellents moments passés dans ce charmant restaurant ! Service personnalisé et généreux, qualité excellente, accueil chaleureux... Un des meilleurs moments que j'ai pu passer dans un restaurant à Montréal. Une adresse incontournable, c'est une certitude : c'est devenu notre restaurant des grandes occasions ! Le contexte se prête particulièrement à une soirée entre amoureux, notamment pour la qualité du service où on vous traite aux petits oignons ! Chaudement et vivement recommandé !“

“Highly recommend this place! The food was amazing, and both the chef and our waiter were fantastic. We actually missed our original reservation time, but they graciously stayed past their normal closing hours just to accommodate us. Incredibly welcoming service—we will definitely be back!“

“The accrabes and crab guedilles was to die for! As a crab lover, usually you only ever find lobster rolls😔so finding a crab roll at this place was like finding treasure!
My mom had the fish and chips and that was amazing as well.
Love the fry recipe! The additions really elevate the fries.“

“Great service from waitress Anne-Christine.“

“À chaque fois que je vais au Cabaret l'Enfer, c'est une expérience VIP... à partir de l'arrivée jusqu'au digestif..l'accueil est chaleureuse, le personnel super sympathique, et que dire de la nourriture ( chaque service est un art et d'un goût de gastronomie). 💯“

“Menu is not large but they have a lot of specials that are off menu they offer when you arrive. I can be a picky eater but the staff was very accommodating and made everything work for me. The drinks were great and came quickly, everything was fresh and flavourful, very much worth trying. Reasonably priced as well and the portion sizes are good!“

“Stopped by Cafe Le Petit Flore for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. The vibe was great, the food was fresh, and the whole place had a warm, cozy atmosphere. I especially liked how friendly and welcoming everyone was from the moment I walked in.

I ordered my meal, and all were excellent. You can tell they pay attention to quality and presentation.

What I enjoyed most was the atmosphere. It’s the kind of cafe where you can comfortably sit for a while, whether you’re meeting friends, reading a book, or just taking a break from a busy day. The space feels relaxed and inviting without being too crowded or noisy.

Overall, I had a great experience and can see why this place is so popular with locals. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a charming place in Montreal.“
