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.
Honestly one of my new favourite Steakhouse in the city, it's been on my list for years, glad I finally took the leap & tried them out, everything was amazing!
We went to this resto with high expectations, to have the best steak in Montreal! The place is amazing, the waiter top top but the manager ZERO! My bf & I ordered 2 steaks (medium) mine was perfectly cooked but his was medium well/well done... When the waiter nicely asked the manager to come see us, the manager said "I'm not going to argue with you about what medium is or not". Our steaks were clearly different, & in any case, there is no reason to be rude & condescending when your customers are trying to have a great night at a very famous steak house.. in summary, sadly, I won't be going back!

I do not understand the good reviews. I ordered the French onion soup & ribeye steak medium. Server forgot to punch in the French onion soup, & my steak was overcooked. Service was extremely slow. The restaurant itself looks old & dungee, tables were not steady & slanted. Judging by the extremely high price of the food, they have no excuse for the terrible service & subpar food. I will never come back.
A part que le serveur a oublié de demander pour gratiner mes escargots ... le repas était délicieux & la cuisson parfaite. Il faudrait avoir des possibilité de steak moins gros ça serait bien. 22oz était quand même pour moi un peu volumineux même s'il était vraiment bon!
Enjoy an upscale dining experience in a historic building which used to be a stable. This classic steakhouse features your typical cuts of steak with optional seafood additions for surf & turf. Wine selection is good & the service was exceptional so expect to be pampered. Alejandro was very attentive & kind. The homemade bread & the kosher pickles were great. The steaks were pretty good & the house salad was delicious.
Montreal is known for its culinary excellence, our experience was far from it. On recommendation, we reserved. The location & ambience were lovely, we looked forward to the experience. I'm not sure what the problem was with our seating, there seemed to be ample space, however 2 waiters continuously bumped our chairs when going by, not just a few times but over & over. My husband ordered beef carpaccio to start, which they did not have. When it came to dessert, he ordered crème brûlée, which they didn't have either. My beef wellington boasted approximately 2 tbsp of duxelle, I took the pastry off because I found it hard to believe they would send it out of the kitchen like that & sure enough the duxelle was almost non-existent. We overheard the table next to ours order a second bottle of wine & were told there was no more of that brand, so they would have to order something else. It can also be noted that our server seemed to go out of his way to be rude. Each time I thanked him he would just walk away as I was speaking to him, he seemed unhappy that we were there. Not having ample product, repeatedly banging into customers & overall rude service, I have had a hard time choosing which steak house has been my favourite during our travels, Gibbys has made it very easy to determine which was the worst

Very good steak house, great meat in fact the best place for steaks in the area. But the atmosphere is old antique. It needs a serious makeover apart from the steaks & lobsters there aren't many other option.

Staff: friendly & polite Food: really good, great for the price but both of our rib steaks were overcooked! If you're a steakhouse, you need to be able to serve a steak at the right temperature!! Service: extremely slow...i think it was more our waiter because he looked lost most of the time Very small list if you want to have a nice scotch with your steak...disappointing
A Montréal Icon. The absolute best steak you will find. The service is impeccable from the valet parking to being seated at your table. Waiters are attentive & top-notch. Every bite is mouth-watering & the portions are plentiful. My go-to place to bring my real estate clients whether celebrating a successful transaction or discussing a new listing. This timeless classic Montréal Steak House is your must-go-to stop on your next visit to our fabulous city! Candis Noble; Montreal realtor (candisnoble.ca)
Gibby's is an absolute classic located in Vieux Port. The building is cozy, rustic & nostalgic. Steak is a must, they will cook to your liking. The portions are big, & the value is worth it. Service is top notch, they are real pros of the industry, thank you Christian! Highly recommend you check this place out.
Best steak I've had in a Steakhouse! Service is top notch. Beautiful decor as well. If you're into meat you'll be pleased. Oysters were delicious as well. Theres variety of good wines.
So happy to leave this review. My ex-boyfriend & I had a reservation at Gibby's & it was such an experience. We arrived, they were extremely busy & I think reservations weren't organized too well, but nonetheless, we were seated & greated by our server Christine. She was incredible, fast, busy, hustling but really incredible. Definitely ask for her service! The food was amazing. Very large portions. Pricey but worth it.. well done Gibby's. Will absolutely recommend it as the best steakhouse in Montreal.
Been to a few steak houses & this one was good. Nothing really stood out or was over the top impressive, It was a well rounded experience overall. For the $, I would go back but minimally, maybe once every couple of years etc.
