The Legendary Joe Beef. We had the Foie Gras double down, the rabbit, and the veal. This is basically the Rolls Royce of restaurants, you are paying for the name. Food was unlike anything I've ever had and was extremely flavourful, but Canadian shrinkflation means you pay a lot for a little, so I left hungry. Great experience though between the ambience and the staff, it was unforgettable.

This was our first time in Montréal and we had a fabulous time. This was the best meal of our trip by far and probably one of if not the best meal we have ever had. The food was incredible, the côte de bœuf was to die for and our waiter was so kind and has the best wine pairing suggestions. The atmosphere was so lovely and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Thank you Joe beef! We will definitely be going back.

All i can say is WOW! Amazing dining experience with a very knowledgeable server, explained every dish with so much passion! Got the famous lobster spaghetti, a must try! And duck was fabulous with the pepper sauce. Highly recommend and well deserved hype, best restaurant in Montreal for sure.

Excellent food, my mom is a picky eater but surprisingly she loved everything we ate! Service was friendly and nice ! I wrote a note that it my mom’s birthday but no bday plating or no bday comp.. tartare boeuf was so good, spicy clams was pretty okay, lobster spaghetti was good it reminds me of a lobster bisque, magret canard was excellent! The desserts was delicious marjolaine wasnt sweet at all ! Chesnut ice cream was delicious but towards the end it was very sweet after more bites

One of the best meals and experiences I’ve ever had.
First the food - We had the raw scallop, escargot, lettuces, rabbit, lobster spaghetti and the Marjolaine for dessert. Flavors were complex yet clear, rich and dense without being overly heavy, beautifully crafted, cooked perfectly. We hesitated to order the lobster spaghetti wondering if it was just online hype but we were not disappointed in the slightest - perfect al dente cook on the pasta with a beautifully creamy and rich bisque-like sauce. The rabbit was so bold, rich and complex it was truly one of the most unique dishes I’ve ever had. But the raw scallop to start honestly stole the show. So fresh and vibrant - excellent way to start the meal. Don’t sleep on the lettuce either it was a great refreshing compliment to a rich meal. You also just have to face palm yourself in amusement when you have such an incredible, unique and special dinner then make it to dessert and casually order the signature cake with a cappuccino and think “wait is THIS the best thing??”
The atmosphere - everything feels so intentional and meticulously chosen/placed yet completely unpretentious. The lighting is excellent and comfortable. Each room with slightly different character. The antiques, art, lamps, wall papers, etc. communicate the neighborhood’s rich history as a former antique/furniture area.
The service - we sat at the bar and at first said that we wish we could have scored a table and now I never want to sit anywhere else. The entire bar team was absolutely excellent. Our server - Edouard I believe was is name - was absolutely fantastic guide through the menu and took our experience to the next level. Made suggestions, helped us pair drinks, coursed the meals out at a perfect pace, chatted with us and had us laughing and truly just took our entire experience to the next level. Ordering here is NOT easy, I wish I could have had everything and I always suffer from order envy - but Edouard helped us craft a perfectly balanced and complete meal. He also shared with us the history of the neighborhood and “Joe Beef” himself which was fascinating and special. The other server behind the bar - JJ - was equally kind and charismatic and after we told them we were celebrating our anniversary and what we enjoyed doing the entire bar team seamed to come together to write us a list of recommended bars, restaurants and places to see music.
Not only will be we back… this place has me wanting to move to Montreal.

Get the foie gras double down. It will leave you satisfied but with deep questions about the world. Lapin a la royale also slapped, absolute menu rarity. Five stars

Endroits très bruyants et très à l'étroit. Les pâtes aux homards étaient très salées, la portion du filet de boeuf à cheval était correct, sans plus. L'ensemble de l'expérience ne justifie pas le prix payé.
Opentable Diner
We reserved a table for my wife's Birthday celebration. Upon arrival we had to wait but management made us feel at home and apologised for the delay. We were brought the bar area until the table arrived. The staff explained us the menu and manager made special attention to what we ordered. The food was sublime. The tasting platter of seafood was a great mix for the pallet. We had the lobster pasta and the Filet Mignon. Both were exceptionally good. The staff is also very attentive to the customers and makes it feel like a nice place to go back to. Many regular faces were present since all had a good time. Not a quiet place but the vibe is so energetic. Great Job to all and Thank you for a wonderful night....
