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.
C'est un restaurant excellent, les steaks goûte extrêmement délicieux, particulièrement le fillet mignon, le serveur est vraiment super attentif, définitivement reviendrai!
Amazing food, great steaks & oysters! The service was ok, the wait staff was very kind & had great etiquette, but was overwhelmed with their sections, need a bit more people working for it to really nail the service.

Very delicious, we took the Blue cheese salad + Salmon/Rice + Rib steak/baked Patato with Diane Sauce. Everything was great, & super service!! Would definetly come back!!
It was my first time visiting this steakhouse. The rib steak I had was well cooked & seasoned, I would order that again. However, I did find my baked potatoe to be a bit on the dry side, but it still tasted good. Overall, my disappointment comes from the lack of attentive service from the wait staff. We were a large group & felt like the service could have been sharper. For example, the wrong dishes being served to some, errors for a number of people with their bills at the end of the night & even the way our drink orders were taken (we had to ask them) & how long we had to wait for it. I expect better from this kind of steakhouse for their wait staff service.
I've been going to Gibby's for my birthday going on 8 years now. Unlike most other steakhouses, you get all the trimmings with your meal. I love this restaurant but since it was bought by another company, there are some minor differences that changed the experience for me. • they can only serve the pickles, bacon bits & bread once you place your food order. ( we were waiting for the rest of the party to order the food but had ordered drinks, we were kind of hungry so waiting wasn't fun) • the staff don't get their tips like they used to so it wasn't the nicest news to hear since they work hard. • the staff feel like their new uniforms are not as clean cut because their arms are exposed. They used to have long sleeves & it brought extra class to the establishment. (They are 100% right. • the drink prices skyrocketed. • I don't know what they changed in the crab cakes, it wasn't the best. • I have 8 years of pictures they take for your birthday & the new ones they took ... it's so small. I put it next to my other ones & it's so sad. The rest was great but don't change a good thing.

Great selection of steaks. Well executed dishes. Rack of lamb was a delight! & OMG the carpaccio! The truffles scent on the carpaccip was so aromatic! One of the best we've ever had. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys a good ol' fashion steakhouse.
A true 5 star steak house experience in Montreal! An absolute must! The experience starts off in a beautiful heritage building in Old Port of Montreal. You will find helpful staff & white tablecloth tables. We came here with a large party so we ordered almost everything on the menu to try. The cowboy steak is a true show stopper. Flavorful, well served & not chewy. Perfect to share. The mains come with a salad, a trou normand & side (Monte Carlo potato is a must) Beef wellington was so well done! Flaky on the outside, tender meat on the inside. The sauce that came with it was also excellent. For dessert, the chocolate Gibby's is excellent. Like a chocolate hazelnut mousse with a nice textured layer in there. Staff was attentive & knew the menu well. Highly recommend!
This place was so delicious. Service was great & the steak was amazing. Great job to the chefs, they really know what they're doing i got a medium rare steak cooked to perfection! i highly recommend Gibby's.

Service was rushed right from the start. They were very busy so the minute we sat down they went over the menu with us before we were even able to order a drink. They also charge you a fee to split meals & have an issue with chopping a salad for you or cooking the steak more than med well. But mostly it was the rushed feeling we got from the minute we sat down. Our waiter was very nice just moving at a million miles a minute. It didn't feel relaxed & enjoyable like we had hoped.
Sadly they botched the service. Sat at 9, steak showed up at midnight. Food was meh. Half our party left when they learned the kitchen hadn't even placed their food order two hours in. & to top it off I've made better ribeye at home. It was sad as this place was good. Maybe they'll get their act together.
Food & service was excellent. Steak was juicy & flavorful. My friend loved her salmon & the waiter made sure she knew all along of what there is a chance of contamination due to her peanut allergies. Love the building & decor. Very intimate.
We are visiting Montreal with friends & Gibby's was recommended by locals. The restaurant has so much charm & you can tell it is loved by all ages of guests. The service was wonderful, Diane, our server, was attentive, friendly & patient when we took our time ordering. We all ordered various steak entrees & felt they were prepared perfectly. It's not often you get an actual "rare" steak when you ask for it so I was thrilled. Gibby's is a proper steakhouse, they let the meats speak for themselves. However the black pepper mushroom sauce on the "Diane" was really good too! The blue cheese salad was phenomenal & loved the Monte Carlo potato. As we were all quite full from the pickles, bread & steak entrees we decided to split a sorbet dessert. It was enough for our party of 4 to have a few tastes & feel satisfied. Plus it came with a cookie & dinner mints.
