Review Summary

Gibby’s is repeatedly described as a historic Old Montreal steakhouse that feels timeless inside a stone-walled building, offering generous portions and a menu built around classic cuts and crowd-pleasing sides. Diners note bright wine lists, impressive starters like oysters Rockefeller and beef carpaccio, and standout mains such as Beef Wellington, rib eye and filet mignon, often paired with Monte Carlo potatoes and a crusty bread service that includes pickles and sorbet cleansers. The atmosphere ranges from intimate date night to festive celebrations, with warm, old-world charm that many find special, though some visits can be loud or chilly and a few readers mention pricing and value shifting after ownership changes. Service is frequently praised as attentive, knowledgeable, and professional, with many servers earning high marks for hospitality, guidance on pairings, and timing, while a minority report inconsistent pacing or upselling. Overall Gibby’s is viewed as a Montreal institution that shines for significant occasions and long-standing quality, best enjoyed with advance reservations and a readiness to indulge in classic steakhouse dining.

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.

Mise à jour 1er Février 2026 - un peu une déception. Nous y sommes allés en Décembre aussi & nous constatons que le service n'y est plus. La cohue totale dans la salle à manger, pas assez de personnel pour le nombre de clients. Personne s'aide, plusieurs semblent inexpérimentés. Notre serveuse Sarah a fait un bon travail pour se débrouiller tant bien que mal. 3 heures d'attente du début à la fin. Le manger toujours excellent mais l'expérience définitivement plus la même 😢 J'ai laissé mes commentaires au bas pour démontrer le contraste.

Un des meilleurs restaurants a Montréal. Le service était impeccable, la nourriture bien apprêtée avec des portions généreuses & un ambiance champêtre. Merci pour la gâteau, nous avons adoré notre soirée anniversaire! Nous y serons de retour bientôt

De retour avec un ami pour sa première expérience 6 Avril 2022. Toujours une soirée mémorable de la cuisine au service & passant par l'accueil & le valet. Merci Yvan pour l'excellent service attentionné, bravo à toute l'équipe. Carré d'agneau & filet mignon à la perfection 👌😎

This one hurts to write a little. We visited Gibbys tonight for the first time in two years, a long awaited return for us after we had our first child. We used to visit here to celebrate our birthdays & anniversary every year. We love the old building, the ambiance & old school vibes. But the vibes were different all around. After glancing at the menu I noticed it was same but also very different from before, I speculated they were bought in the time of our last visit & this holds true. The general vibes are the same but the service was not as great as we're accustomed to. Not sure if it's because we brought our child with us? Or because we are American? Our server was fantastic, & made us feel welcomed when she noticed we didn't feel that way… but service from coat check & the hosts was rather cold. We also made notes in the reservation that it was my husbands birthday & requested a high chair, but I guess those got lost somehow because they made kind of a big deal about getting us a high chair after they brought us to the table. The food…I know they're trying to keep it original but it was rather mediocre. Steaks were cooked great but any lacked seasoning, the salad was soggy & almost inedible. The Diane sauce tasted different. It just wasn't hitting the same. We also were not offered the classic Gibbys cake that we always have received in the past for special occasions & the polaroid Picture they used to take. We were looking forward to having a new one with our new addition. Also, how is there no changing table at all in this place? Wild. What was supposed to be a lovely celebratory evening & sharing the tradition with our young son. But we don't think we will be back after this.

We had a wonderful experience here! The food was delicious & the atmosphere was warm & romantic, perfect for celebrating a birthday as a couple. The complimentary birthday cake was beautiful & very tasty. A special thank you to Genevieve for being so attentive, kind, & friendly throughout our visit. We truly appreciated the thoughtful service & had a very happy celebration here.

Mon conjoint & moi avons été invités par mon fils dans ce très beau restaurant qu'il fréquente assez souvent. Notre expérience a été au-dela de nos attentes pour nous, mais mon fils a du retourner son assiette car il avait demandé sa brochette Kebab médium & elle était très saignant, lorsque son assiette est revenu c'était brûlé la serveuse c'est excuser & lui a offert son dessert gratuitement. Tous nos plats étaient excellents une facture de 630$ avant pourboire incluant 7 boissons. L'ambiance était très agréable, nous étions assis au sous-sol & pouvions discuter convenablement. Je recommande ce restaurant sans hésitation, notre serveuse était à l'écoute de nos demandes une très belle expérience culinaire 💕

Avec Reservation seulement. Pas de statiionnement, utiliser le valet de parking. Acceuil chaleureux, service EXCEPTIONEL, grande classe & discret, les différents drinks sont tres bien, exactitude des commandes, la cuisson des aliments est juste, desserts sans reproche & je vous suggere fortement les café flamber, beau spectacle directement a votre table. Le menu est TRES dispendieux & sans aucun doute surévalué. Expérience agréable.

The food, the ambiance, the staff, & the service were exceptional! Although it is on the expensive side, you get a good amount of great quality food for your money. They even brought us a peach cake to celebrate my birthday.
