Chez Gibby's on trouve le car homard grillé, entrecôte coupe maison, surlonge coupe new-yorkaise, bifteck au poivre vert de Madagascar ou poisson frais du jour sont les vedettes du menu.
Gibby’s est présenté comme une institution du Vieux-Montréal, installé dans un bâtiment historique et réputé pour son ambiance chaleureuse et son décor old school. L’expérience met en valeur une cuisine steakhouse classique, avec des plats phares tels que Beef Wellington, ribeye et filet mignon, accompagnés de portions généreuses et de sides emblématiques comme Monte Carlo potatoes et Oysters Rockefeller. Le service est largement salué pour son professionnalisme et sa bienveillance, mais des retours mentionnent parfois des lenteurs, des erreurs de commande et des écarts de qualité lorsque la salle est très remplie, ainsi que des critiques sur le rapport prix valeur et le niveau sonore. Le cadre, le charme du vieux Montréal et la possibilité d’un repas festif en font une adresse prisée pour les anniversaires et les occasions spéciales, avec des gestes comme des desserts offerts ou des présentations flambées qui marquent les esprits. Certains avis signalent une perte de lustre après un changement de propriétaire et une certaine variation dans la qualité, tandis que d’autres soulignent que l’endroit reste remarquable et que la cuisine et l’ambiance tiennent encore leur rang. Dans l’ensemble, Gibby’s demeure un steakhouse emblématique et coûteux mais qui offre une expérience gastronomique mémorable, mettant l’accent sur la convivialité, l’histoire du lieu et des plats bien exécutés, tout en sachant que la valeur perçue peut varier selon les soirées et les tables.
I had previously visited gibbys & left a review, but am updating based off my new experience. I had a rather bad experience with the service over a month ago & the manager called me to have me explain the experience & offered me to come back & cover part of the meal due to the bad service the previous time. Even with the steak covered the bill was over $200 since we got wine & dessert.
This time the experience was much better. Me & my boyfriend were sat in the back of the restaurant where it is much calmer energy, & were served by Charlie she was great! She was able to help us recommend a good wine to pair with our steaks. Food was very good. I also had a Gibbys martini & I must say it is one of the best martinis I've ever had. For dessert we ordered the dame blanche, only slightly disappointed wad the chocolate sauce was already cold from the ice cream & had sunk to the bottom as a giant chocolate rock, but still good. We ordered espressos with dessert as well, I know gibbys is a fancy restaurant but 8$ before tax for a single espresso is a bit of a scam…
Overall very good experience especially after the previous visit, however we still did not see the elusive sommelier we had been promised to have sent to our table by the manager, but the waitress was extremely helpful!

We came here for my boyfriend's birthday with high expectations but were disappointed. The night started with me asking a few questions about wines, which the waiter didn't seem to have much knowledge on, instead of asking someone else he specifically said the Riesling was a sweet wine & wouldn't pair with steak, however after a quick google search, the wine is a dry minerally wine, which I don't expect a server to know every wine, but I wouldn't recommend saying your not sure than giving false information.
He then went to ask the sommelier for a recommendation, but he didn't ask us what type of wine we were looking for, & came back to suggest a 130$ bottle, with the only reasoning that it was recommended. With no proper explanation of the wine I wouldn't purchase a 130$ bottle. Also if there is a sommelier, why are they not sent to the table to help pick a wine or recommendation?
Also when we came back with the recommendation, he brought the menu to my boyfriend even though I had been the ones asking the question??
For the steaks, the waiter asked if we wanted the steak spices on top or on the side, & the waiter wrote it down on his notepad, which my boyfriend asked for the spices on the side, yet we were served steaks with spices on them. (In my opinion it makes it worse if it written down & the mistake is made) . We decided not to say anything on the spot as the steak is still yummy & doesn't seem worth wasting a while piece of meat for a simple mistake.
In the reservation we had made a note that we were celebrating his birthday. At the end of the meal after asking for the bill, the waiter brought the bill & was about to get the card machine, & came back to say he heard it was a birthday, & said he would be right back. He brought out a cake which is presumably their policy, but he didn't ask us first, which yes it is nice but neither me or my boyfriend particularly wanted cake, so we ate some of it out of guilt of a whole cake brought out.
The steaks were good, also the German Riesling was a good dry white wine with steaks. The experience with the wine really tainted my experience, I know it is not a wine bar but at a restaurant where the bill is over 300$ you would hope to have a better service. At the end they take a picture on a Polaroid & give it to you which is cute.
With the whole experience I don't count myself coming back or recommending it to anyone either.
Gibby's is by far one of the best restaurants we have ever been to. From the amazing architecture to the romantic atmosphere. Our Server, Justin, provided attentive & personal service, ensuring that our entire experience was the best it could possibly be. In addition to the best steak we have ever had, the Old Fashioned was tough to beat. While the cost was high, we truly got what we paid for & would do it again. This is a must for anyone in Montreal.

Usually my go to for important life celebration & fancy food. This review is only marked down because of my own feelings & should not be considered in your decision to eat there or not. They took away the chicken Kiev & that was my favorite. I have yet to go back since & really miss it. I only am doing this so that if the owners see it they might consider bringing it back.
It's so sad to see this iconic restaurant having lost its edge. The steak was pretty good, but that's about it. The salad is different, the monte carlo was inedible, as were the desserts. I don't need to go back, too bad.
Gibbys, just one word & I will say it in my mother tongue, French: Magistral! World class service, superb food, & you know, when you do a classic like Escargots à la Bourguignonne way better than most of your peers (especially way better than those who are supposed to deliver the best version of that), & that is your case, all I can say is'Salut l'artiste!'. Impressed I was! & not to forget the tableside Brazilian coffee: I am sure you already know that, but this is a first in Montreal. & that was also very very world class. You will win many hearts with that one (not that you are not already winning hearts. Of course you do: your dining rooms were packed to the brim when I was there!).
Gibbys used to feel like such a safe haven - a true institution known for comfort food & consistency. While we appreciated seeing some younger, fresh faces on staff & noticed a few updates, we were genuinely surprised to find that - other than hen - there is no chicken dish on the menu. Really? Did no one notice?
They used to serve a lovely Chicken Kiev, which many of us remember fondly. I mentioned this concern to reception twice before, but unfortunately felt dismissed.
It's disappointing. Gibby would surely turn over in his grave, & Claudia would not be pleased. I suppose all good things eventually come to an end - but we had hoped Gibbys would remain one of the exceptions.
Vitaly, Justin, Charlie & Martin were stellar, we had a huge group & stayed way later than appropriate but they were all amazing the entire night (Vitaly was our main server). Incredible place

We've tried their lunch & as always their meat is just so good. They even give you a sorbet after the appetizer to clean your palate. The only thing I didn't like is the dessert which is a pecan pie & it's just too sweet. Try the boeuf a Diane, it's so good. They have valet parking so it's a big plus considering how busy it is in the summer or when weather is good.

Very disappointed with my recent experience at Gibbys.
I made a reservation for 8:00 PM & arrived exactly on time, yet I was still asked to wait in line. If guests respect your schedule & show up as requested, their time should be respected as well. To make matters worse, I left my name & number for a manager to follow up, & never received a call.
Gibbys used to feel like a special place to go out, with a certain standard & atmosphere. Now it seems that standard has slipped, with people being admitted in very casual attire like sweatpants. Whatever happened to maintaining a dress code & the experience that made this restaurant stand out?
J'ai été pour un anniversaire entres filles! Mon steak d'entrecôte excellent & délicieux ! Tres bonnes portions. Les cocktails étaient succulents. Mais le vrai coup de coeur a été notre serveur Scott: service impeccable, courtois, à l'écoute & notre photographe de la soirée lol! Alors 6 étoiles pour Scott! Je reviendrai c'est sûr !
We come from vacations & we saw this restaurant online & looks so good & I went yesterday with my partner to have dinner , the vibes , the food & everything was excellent , definitely a restaurant I will come back but it was a issue with my experience at this restaurant the service was really bad, I think his name is Salomon ( sorry if I don't remember his name) he was nice at the beginning but after he took out order that was it , he stop taking care of our table , we finish the salad & he never removed our plates we finish our meal & he did not take our plates away, he serve us water & the glass was dirty, he just stop approaching to us , & you can tell he was just talking with the tables who order bottles of wines ( we're about to buy one but after seeing that we don't want it anymore)I believe if you go to a fancy & expensive restaurant you are expected to have a really nice quality of food & a excellent experience with the service, in the other hand his co worker he took care of us so we decided to tip him instead that our' server' anyways , the food is was delicious so we are coming back, but definitely the manager need to have a talk with this guy. & hoping you guys can read my review!
Pour souligner la Saint-Valentin en amoureux, nous avons passé une magnifique soirée chez Gibbys dans le Vieux-Montréal.
On se sent enveloppés par le charme de l'endroit. L'ambiance feutrée, les murs de pierre & l'éclairage tamisé créent un décor chaleureux & romantique, parfait pour un souper en tête-à-tête.
Le service était attentionné & professionnel & les plats étaient absolument délicieux, savoureux & magnifiquement présentés.
Une adresse idéale pour célébrer l'amour.

If you're looking for a classic, upscale steakhouse experience in Old Montreal, Gibbys absolutely delivers.
From the moment you step inside, the historic stone walls & warm lighting create an elegant, intimate atmosphere that feels timeless. It's the kind of place that's perfect for anniversaries, client dinners, or a refined night out.
The food is outstanding. The steaks are cooked perfectly to temperature - tender, flavorful, & expertly seasoned. The lobster is fresh & beautifully presented, & the sides are generous & satisfying. Everything feels thoughtfully prepared & high quality.
Service is another highlight. The staff are professional, attentive, & knowledgeable without being intrusive. They guide you through the menu & wine list with confidence, making the whole evening feel seamless.
Yes, it's on the premium side price-wise, but the quality, ambiance, & consistency make it worth it. Gibbys is a true Montreal classic - & for good reason.
Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates a traditional steakhouse done right.
Best dining experience in Montreal. We were visiting for a weekend looking for a nice restaurant that was kid friendly. The food was great, but Charlie's service was fantastic. Highly recommend.
Food good as always so that's a given. Fabulous service by Cynthia last night, probably one of the best restaurant services I have ever had. Thank you Cynthia for making the night so memorable :)
This was our third visit to Gibbys in just over two months & it was incredible again. Sarah & Claude were amazing. Sarah was our waitress two weeks ago too, & we were so happy to see her again. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly medium rare & my girlfriend's sea bass was delicious. We had French onion soup to start & a spicy margarita in a martini glass, which was so good. We cannot wait to come back.
