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.
Truly a magnificent experience. This is one of the oldest & well respected steakhouses in Montreal. No real dress code but wear the best outfit you have. Filet mignon was succulent but really it's impossible to make a bad choice here. It's not cheap but given the caliber of the restaurant it's appropriate. Besides they treat you like a member of the aristocracy!
Excellent old school steakhouse. They were very busy & possibly a little understaffed but the service was still excellent. Steak was delicious & expertly prepared. Wedge salad among the best I've ever had. Only criticism would be the veggies included with the meal were very sparse. Great wine list with a few reasonably priced gems available. If you want the classic steakhouse experience this is it.

The steak was so good here & I'd rather go here than the Keg. I think prices are reasonable for a steakhouse to be honest. & I loved the bread & apps they served for free. You will not leave hungry.
Service was top notch. Pacing of the meal was perfect. We didn't feel rushed. Food was all you would expect from a long standing traditional steakhouse. The Beef Wellington was perfectly seasoned. We dined indoors which was cozy. The outdoor terrace looked quite inviting as well.
Always tasty, classic steakhouse fare. The New York cheesecake is the best in town. Only downside is the price, somehow $35 for a side plate of mushrooms for 2.
Been wanting to come here for years just to realize it was pretty much just an expensive steakhouse.
Food & service was great! I knew it wasn't going to be cheap but for the price I was expecting that the place would've had a much more intimate atmosphere. Most tables were very much close to each other to maximize space (a wheelchair wouldn't be able to pass around as easily). & the music was also slightly loud.
Totally fine to come for a special occasion.

With the new ownership & menu Gibby's has lost its Lustre. The menu is not nearly as varied, the salad has slipped in quality & the service is not the same experienced crew that I loved. The dessert was actually stale. I would recommend RibnReef as the premier Steakhouse. I would only go back if you are looking for the old Montreal experience
Nice ambiance steakhouse near Old Town Montreal. It's an old converted horse stable. Very cozy with fireplaces. My steak dish was okay but not as impressive as I had expected. Very good wine list & attentive service.
Worth a stop.
Dès notre arrivé dans ce lieu historique jusqu'à la prise en charge de notre serveuse Cynthia, l'arrivé de notre nourriture & la fin de notre repas, l'expérience a été exceptionnelle. L'ambiance est unique, le service excellent & quoi dire de la nourriture! La salade gibbys, buratta, cowboy steak & la patate toute garnie débordaient de saveur! Notre serveuse s'est assurée qu'on ne manquait de rien, du début à la fin, & a même pris la peine de nous prendre en photo polaroid. Après avoir fait plusieurs steakhouse à Montréal, je peux dire sans équivoque que mon expérience au gibbys est de loin la meilleure & la plus mémorable! Merci Cynthia d'avoir rendu cette soirée aussi superbe!
Gibby is one of the best steakhouse in Montreal, they offer high-quality meat cuts, the Rockefeller oysters, & my best dish there is the garlic snail, & when you take the bread & dip it into the garlic sauce. I highly recommend this place.

Great steakhouse. The food was delicious. The Beef Wellington was cooked perfectly. The only disappointment was service became super slow once the restaurant got very busy & the key lime pie was not super fresh.
My favorite Montreal Steakhouse! The ribeye boneless & filet mignon are awesome & so are their pickles & bread treats! Also get the wedge salad while you're at it :)
We had dinner at the wonderful old-school Montreal steakhouse & were truly impressed with the evening. It is very much a throwback to the old steakhouse style restaurants & they pull it off extremely well. Montrealers told us it was great but expensive & they were right on both.
Gibby's is expensive. The service was excellent(Nancy) the food was great. But the place is perhaps too casual for the price you pay. The wine list was shockingly simple, with wine prices at around 2.5X retail value - which is what you would expect from a good Steakhouse - but the choices were boring. Either they underestimate their clientèles tastes or I over-estimate what somebody spending 💰 expects from a wine list. For an above average steak & a night out Gibby's is a certainly great quality but not great value. The Keg is where I would go for a night out surrounded by people in jeans & T-shirts who aren't that into wine.

I gave Gibby's 3 chances in the last 3 years & they've disappointed every time. This is a restaurant that relies very heavily on its history & "pedigree" & caters mostly to unsuspecting American tourists looking for a decent steakhouse in Old Montreal & Montreal natives who are clinging on to a relic from their past. The food in unquestionably not worth the price. The steaks are so chewy, that I'd recommend ordering them medium-well because they become more tender the longer they're cooked. The appetizers & sides are average;the Romanian style sausages were hard & tasteless, & I know because my wife is Romanian, & the side of rice they serve tastes as good as a greasy Greek dive. The service is friendly but slow & clumsy, despite the uniforms & overall "look" & for your money you're better off at any French restaurant nearby that will cook you a much better steak for less money...sorry Gibbys, I really tried my best!
Gibby's Steakhouse in Montreal is a true gem for steak lovers. The chic & elegant atmosphere sets the stage for a memorable dining experience. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm ambiance that combines sophistication with a welcoming feel. The quality of the meat is outstanding. What truly stood out during my visit was the exceptional service. I had some questions about other good restaurants in town, & the server was incredibly friendly & patient. He took the time to recommend several places, sharing personal insights that enhanced my overall experience. Whether you're a local or just visiting Montreal, Gibby's steakhouse offers high-quality food & service that makes for a fantastic night out. Highly recommended!
