Gibbys Restaurant is located in Old Montreal in the Youville Stables. A charming restaurant, boasts historic stone walls, original beamed ceilings, cozy fireplaces, and romantic lighting. At Gibby's you`ll enjoy fine seafood, including fresh plump chilled oysters, a large choice of the freshest fish and Gibbys' expertly aged and exquisitely broiled steaks, all accompanied by a variety of wines from their extensive wine list.
Gibby's is an iconic Old Montreal steakhouse housed in a historic stone building with warm old world charm and a cozy, candlelit vibe. The dining experience often centers on expertly cooked steaks like beef Wellington and ribeye, with crowd-pleasing bread service and a lemon sorbet palate cleanser between courses, and sides that are generously portioned; service is usually attentive and professional, with many visits praising the staff, though some nights can feel busy or inconsistent. The atmosphere, history and valet parking add to the appeal, making Gibby's a go-to for special occasions, business meals or casual dinners alike. While the restaurant is celebrated for reliability, a few experiences note changes under new ownership or renovations that affected quality, and a couple of dishes have fallen short. When everything aligns, Gibby's delivers a memorable, classic steakhouse experience that keeps guests returning year after year.
Tellement une belle expérience, pour mon anniversaire de 21 ans de l'arrivée au départ je suis épatée avec Caroline le service a été super & aussi les valets. Je vous conseille de venir visiter cette belle place!!
I had heard a lot about this place & I finally made a visit this weekend. It was a good experience. The location is nice right beside the water & the food was amazing. The people were also nice. Our server was very friendly & kind & made good suggestions.
Very disappointing experience.
The server made multiple mistakes with our order & then simply split the total bill evenly among us, even though we all ordered different items. I ended up paying for food I didn't even eat, which is unacceptable.
We were also pressured to tip 15-20% despite the poor service.
The food was not good either - the Beef Wellington was soft & lacked texture, the salmon was overly greasy, & even the salad felt heavy.
Overpriced & poorly managed. Would not recommend.

Wow, what an experience in Old Montreal. Our server Mary was stellar, food was spectacular & you can not beat the atmosphere. We took our time & enjoyed every minute starting with wedge salad & ending with Irish coffee made table side. Generally portions. It's pricey but well worth the experience. This is a good reason why Montreal is so wonderful.
Really enjoyed this place. The steak was juicy & cooked just right, & the lobster was super fresh. Nice vibe & great food overall. A perfect place for a special day.
Amazing time at a classic steakhouse. Katherine, was everything you want in a server. Even asked for a'very chill' flambé service for dessert & she just crushed it. While also dealing with a very large group of diners who clearly were on something…poor thing! Anyways, steak was awesome. Cream spinach was a must, along with the cheesecake & flambé coffee to top off the evening. Highly recommend
Our meal was delicious & prepared to perfection. The crispy fries were amazing.. Our server Catherine was attentive & exuberant. She was knowledgeable & clearly passionate about the restaurant. Our water glasses were refilled promptly albeit with quite a bit of spillage. ( ignore the half eaten pickle in the photo ) note - the bathrooms are downstairs or upstairs so this may be a problem for those with mobility issues & weak bladders.
Great food, poor service. The food was as good as I remembered from the last time I ate here many moons ago. The service was like being at a dinner where the plates were quite literally tossed right on the table in front of us. We went on a (rainy) Sunday night, for an earlier seating, so it was not busy, yet service felt rushed & like they needed to turn the table a couple more times. My husband literally had food passed over his head multiple times without even the slightest acknowledgment or feeble mention of an'excuse me'. Ultimately it left a stain on the evening, & I'll happily spend my money where the dining experience is favoured. Of course the building & it's old Montreal style is always a nice place to be a part of.
I'm not usually a fan of inner city venues but this is an exception. My boss tried for a few years to get me to downtown Montreal CA. This time I went along & I absolutely loved it. Walk downtown Montreal & treat yourself to a steak dinner at Gibbys. Make sure you stop by all the art galleries!
