Restaurant Méchant Boeuf

The vibe was fantastic and the ambiance was amazing, it made for a really enjoyable evening. The only downside was the ongoing construction in the area, which made getting there a little tricky, but that's pretty typical for downtown Montreal. Our server was wonderful, very attentive and found the perfect balance between checking in on us and giving us space, which takes real skill. As a picky eater, I was so happy to be able to enjoy a great meal with no issues. The NY strip steak was cooked perfectly, exactly how we requested, and the shrimp were huge...I loved that! The drinks were also really well made, and the dessert was just the right size for sharing and beautifully presented. Overall, it was a fantastic dinner and I would absolutely go back.

We were there on April 24th 2025, we both had steaks a filet and a ribeye, both were cooked perfectly and tasted fantastic, we had chilled oysters for an appetizer they salty and delicious a little on the small size but delicious. The star of the show was the Monte Cristo potatoes. you will just have to go and try them. Our waiter was excellent and funny. We will go back.

Good atmosphere and attentive service however food was disappointing. My wife fell ill after taking the salmon tartare. The shrimp cocktail was reasonable but not particularly tasty. The beef fillet I ordered came “blue” - raw and cold inside - rather than medium rare and after I asked for it to be cooked a bit more it came back charcoaled and without the French fries which were with it. Looking at the website and at some of the reviews had great expectations but were unfortunately disappointed.

Quiet Monday night...we had a very pleasant meal. Drinks were excellent, as was the Salmon the the short ribs. Service was great. Prices very reasonable.

Right from our server to the cocktails, following with dinner were fantastic. Cocktails were very good, and our food came out in a timely fashion and nice and hot.

Service vraiment attentionné, notre serveur, à cause de notre groupe, passait du français à l'anglais très facilement, l'expérience fut mémorable !

Absolutely phenomenal experience! Hands down the best steak I've had in Montreal — cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. This place is officially my new go-to steakhouse. What made the night even better was the service. Our waiter, Kamel, was incredible — truly 100/10. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Friendly, attentive, and just an all-around amazing person. If you go, ask for Kamel — you won't regret it. Can't wait to come back!

The beef was tasty and cooked as we asked. The service initially was very slow - the slow when you sit there and consider leaving kind of slow. It was a Sunday, so it was not busy. Our server was inexperienced. Once we got over the bad start it got better. We also enjoyed the oysters we ordered.

Slow service and really overcooked burger. This is the first time I haven't liked a burger!

Had a lovely on a Wednesday night with friends. While the food was delicious, what truly stood out was Valter’s exceptional service. He was attentive without being intrusive. He timed each course perfectly, and it felt like he knew just when to check in. We never had to ask for a water refill which was greatly appreciated.

Great steak, great companies, and exceptional service! Highly recommended! Would come again.

We ate here duringa recent visit to Mongreal. We had the special three course meal. The scallops were tiny and tough, the puff pastry duck was dry and for extra money, expected more than three slivers of meat. Both steaks were undercooked and tough, veggies were cold and the included brownie was nasty/dry. Would not recommend this restaurant. Rude and condescending waiter when we commented on the quality of our meal. Music didn't suit the atmosphere.. very noisy!

The service was amazing, staff was so good, waiters and manager were so helpful.
