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.
One the best places to try good steak. If you are hungry I suggest the RIP eye steak(gibby's cut) which is large & juicy. Try the salad with blue cheese... 👌🏻

Shoutout to our server Kasra ("Kass") who made our dining experience special & much more enjoyable!! First visit & definitely a memorable one. We were assigned a table in the basement dining area which was very nice. We tried crab cakes for appetizers (a must, if you ask me) then halibut & rib eye steak for the main course. Food is great, what more can I say? Service was impeccable & prompt, with amazing recommendations from our server as well as frequent checks on how the evening is going on for us. We got a birthday cake - not a slice of cake - for my wife, & got a polaroid photo taken from us as a gift! Definitely will return! Street parking space will be difficult to find. I believe there is valet parking available. Also, there is an Indigo parking lot close by.
Gibby's makes steak so good it practically melts in your mouth. The sides are magnificent, & the desserts are heavenly. With the service & atmosphere you will not have a better dining experience in your life.
Great non-Franchise Steakhouse. This is truly a first-class Steakhouse, without feeling stuffy. The Steaks are outstanding, & the service is warm & friendly

I had been curious about this restaurant for a while after seeing many great reviews. The exterior & interior atmosphere of the restaurant are superb. The staff are kind, friendly, quick in their work, & very attentive. Before the steak, a salad & lemon sherbet for palate cleansing are served. The steak is so large that it overflows from the plate! The cooking is also perfect! This is my favorite restaurant that I visit every time I travel to Montreal.
Was looking forward to my birthday dinner at Gibbys. Started with a rude hostess & moved to an indifferent waiter. Meal was very average, including dessert. Waiter didnt ask if our steaks were cooked to liking, had to ask for dessert menus. It had been a while & was excited to share Gibbys with my sons. Won't be back. A lot better places in Montreal to have a great steak dinner.
Wow! What an experience. So good. Steak cooked to perfection, waiter attentive & very knowledgeable about the wine. Surprised our table with a cake. Definitely would love to go back.

You're craving steak? This is the place. Definitely on the pricey side for what you pay. The service was a bit slow: waiter was not attentive (forgot what we ordered & forgot to bring steak knife while food is getting cold) but understandable given the massive place.
Gibbys proclaims "Experience the finest seafood, fresh plump chilled oysters, a large choice of the freshest fish & Gibbys' expertly aged delectable steaks, cooked to perfection." I have been to some of the finest steakhouses in North America (yes that is only my opinion) but they would include Bern's inTampa, Golden Steer in Las Vegas, Gibsons in Chicago, Charlie's in Orlando, Peter Luger in NYC, etc. Expectations were high. Ambiance did not disappoint. Selection was promising. Ordered the Gibby's cut. Looked perfect, but on 1st few bites it was obvious to me it was slightly overcooked. I would have managed, but before I could even draw attention to the waitress, the manager (his name is Adil) was at our table asking if everything was ok. I mentioned it was a bit more overcooked than I was used to & without hesitation or question he asked if he could replace it for me. I said it was fine. He insisted & said it was his responsibility to ensure they offered their best. Promptly replaced, it was perfect. No questions asked, no guilt involved, they made it right. To me, that separates the elite experiences from even the best. Attention to making the evening perfect is what Gibbys does exceptionally well. Enjoy the experience. Relish in the service. Highly recommended.
its always good to come eat here, also loved the one in Saint Sauveur especially in Winter. Everything was good even kids liked & ate some of the salad. Grilled salmon is a safe choice for kids. Carré D'agneau Grilled & Steak & Frites are also perfect. Crab cake & sautéed shrimps with garlic are awesome for appetizers/starters.
We were at Gibbys for my mother's birthday. Our server Mourad was amazing, attentive, patient & always smiling. The included salads, baked potatoes, fresh bread & birthday cake were all delicious. The Beef Wellington & steaks were good. This wasn't our first time dining here & as usual the ambience was inviting & warm.

Feb. 2024 - it seems like every 2 years, we come to this historic establishment for a great Gibby's dinner. You can never go wrong with the food. I've been eating here for over 50 years, & it is consistently excellent. The salad is ample in quantity, the steaks are perfectly cooked & the sides, vegetables & potatoes are always amazing. This was, however, the first time that I was NOT impressed with the service. Yes, it was busy, but there's more that enough staff. Forks went flying, tea, coffee, & chocolate mints were thrown on the table, & I never received my birthday cake that Gibby's was so famous for. It's unfortunate. I was so looking forward to it. When my husband called to make the reservation, they even asked for my name & how it was spelled. Because I was so unhappy my husband went to maitre d' & mentioned the fact. They were nice about it & said that they had a cake mentioned in the reservation. They will give it to us to take home. Ten minutes later, the waiter says there is an issue, they don't have a cake but her will give us 2 pieces of a dessert to take home. I got a box. Not sure what's inside, but I will let you know once I get home. Well, inside were two pieces of Blueberry cheese cake & 2 containers of blueberry coulis Thank you Gibby's. Customer satisfaction all the way. Feb 2022 - Another birthday was spent at Gibby's Montreal. I had the Petit Filet Mignon & a Lobster Tail with the Monte Carlo potato. Never disappointing. The lobster tail was small but excellent. My husband ordered the Gibby's cut 22oz steak with fries. He ordered it medium, but it came medium-rare. It was a little too blue for him, so he returned it. This is now the second time we have eaten here & had to return food. The waiter was nice about the issue, & it was immediately corrected. The birthday cake was great as usual. It's a vanilla cake with whip cream & fruit in the center. Don't forget the pic they give you to take home. It may be for some a bit pricey but well worth it. It is a good value because everything is included. All mains come with salad, potato, & veggies.
Super service, ambiance incroyable Prix une peu prohibitif. Demandé ma pièce medium saignant & j ai reçu bleu ... Décevant pour ce qui est supposé être "un des meilleurs" steakhouse à Montreal
Had not been in a while & was really looking forward to dinner. Salad was pretty much iceberg salad from a bag. Steak was good. Three skinny little pieces of asparagus was pathetic. Oysters Rockefeller were ok but seriously the quality was not there & definitely not for that price. Many better nearby options including moishes. Hope they improve but I won't be back unless things change.
