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.
Delicious food & great service in between courses. We were never waiting for a long time.
They had a great way of adding a few little things to make the experience better. Pickles with the bread, a small lemon sorbet in between appetizers & the main course to clear the pallet, & mint chocolates at the end to have you leaving refreshed.
They didn't know the family / a la cart style we were looking for (different steaks cut for each man to try on their plate) but they learned 😏
Would recommend the Burrata, dipping the bread in the escargot flavoring, the sirloin, the lamb chops, &/or the beef Wellington as a must.

Diane, our server was fabulous & very attentive to details. The food? Equally fabulous! I defy anyone to finish the Beef Wellington. It is that big a portion. Diane even suggested the wine that would go well with our meal. Great! No surprise that we return to Gibby's every time we're in Montreal.
Lovely date night, loud inside with everyone talking but still enjoyable. The food was really good & the service was amazing. We tried the filet & the Beef Wellington both were tasty
The service & atmosphere are stellar. I went for my birthday & got a complementary cake.
The food: I've had the filet mignon & beef wellington. They were both amazing, cooked to perfection & seasoned wondefully. The only complaint I have is the borderlaise sauce for the beef wellington was too sage-heavy, but the steak, duxelle, & puff pastry were so good sauce was not necessary. The iceberg salad is one of the best salads I ever had, & you can get extra bacon to your liking. The mocktails are sweet & flavorful. The fries were okay, not much seasoning but cooked perfectly.
Our server Klaude was great & I hope to get him as our server next time I go.
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.
Amazing meat . The Wellington was really well made & the Steak a la Diane had an awesome sauce & texture. Salads were also very good, especially the blue cheese cream. Portions are very generous so go for appetizers only if you're really hungry. Will come agin for the rib steak.
Hubby & I had dinner & loved the service & atmosphere. The food was good although I was not impressed with the quality of the beef. I had the filet & hubby had beef Wellington. Steaks were cooked to perfection & appetizers etc. were great. I loved that they served dill pickles along side the bread. Pickle lovers will definitely love this option vs bread.
L'ensemble du menu est assez dispendieux, mais la qualité de la cuisine & du service vaut le détour. Nous avons choisi en entrée des huîtres Rockefeller & comme repas le Boeuf Wellington. C'était délicieux ! Mention spéciale à notre serveur : le service était rapide & attentionné, nous n'avons jamais manquer de rien ! À noter que pour les anniversaires, un gâteau est offert & une photo est prise ( style Polaroid) La photo est ensuite placé dans une carte , pour que vous puissiez garder un beau souvenir de votre visite 😊 Pour le parking, il y a un service de valet à l'entrée du restaurant!

Je sais que tu regardes les commentaires pour te faire une idée du restaurant & du menu! Pas compliqué, arrête de chercher, tu prends le boeuf wellington!
The quality of the food at Gibbys deserves to be among the best French restaurants in Canada. When coming here, no one can ignore the signature dish like beef wellington. My sister & I chose the following dishes: - Beef Wellington (main course) ~ $85 - Diane Steak (main course) ~ $83 - Crème Brûlée (dessert) ~ $18 - Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron Chambolle-Musigny 2020 (French red wine) ~ $286 one bottle - Cosme Palacio Rioja 2018 (Spanish red wine) ~ $52 one bottle Once you try the beefsteak here, you will understand why Gibbys is known as the best beefsteak restaurant in Montreal. The medium rare beefsteak at Gibbys is always perfect, the red meat is tender & juicy, melting in your mouth. Every dish is prepared with high-quality ingredients & beautifully presented, showing that Gibbys is a classy restaurant. Besides the excellent beefsteak, the sauces are equally delicious, but the most favorite is the Bordelaise sauce - a classic French sauce named after the Bordeaux region of France, famous for its wine. The sauce is made from dry red wine, bone marrow, butter, chives & demi-glace sauce. I chose the Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron 2020 (France) & my sister chose the Cosme Palacio Rioja 2018 (Spain). The 100% French pinot noir I chose was a typical Burgundy - it had rich, ripe fruit aromas, especially on the palate, with intense red berries, & earthy aromas such as forest floor, dried leaves & bay leaves. On the palate, the wine was ripe & sweet, quickly turning sour & the finish was a strong one with a certain structure. This Chambolle Musigny is very elegant, very pleasant on the palate with a strong, expressive finish - a great wine to accompany a meal at this stage. The Spanish Cosme Palacio is a good choice for the price, a delicate combination of blackberries, plums, crushed stone, concrete, wet earth & fresh mushrooms. It had a rich flavour - a complex finish that enveloped the palate. At Gibbys, this is the definition of a fine dining experience. Not only the luxurious space, quality dishes, Gibbys also affirms its class with professional service style. The plus point for Gibbys is the hospitality, enthusiastic & thoughtful service staff are always ready to advise customers on choosing dishes & choosing wine to go with. A perfect date night with my sister in yellow candles & melodious music, in addition, crème brûlée - a classic French dessert is the perfect ending to the meal. Price does not include 15% VAT & 25% tip. Total bill is over $750 for 2 people with 2 bottles of wine, a completely reasonable price. CA$377 / 1 person ~ 6.9 million VND (US$278)
Wait time is short, main was served right after appetizers. Location is perfect for tourists, being an attraction while also withholding its professional service Lamb rack & beef Wellington is definitely worth trying.

Gibby's is a must go to when you visit Old Montreal. The service was impeccable. Every bite was a wow! Serving on pewter plates was charming given the building dates back to the 1500's. The sorbet between meals you don't see very often. We had Beef Wellington & rack of lambs. The meat was so tender. The Morocco potato was amazing. You could taste the onion & bacon pieces & the potato was so creamy. The crème brulee was made with vanilla bean was topped off with fresh strawberries... delicious! Ending the meal with a dark chocolate mint wafers was the grand finale!
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!
When I mentioned I was vegan, our waiter mentioned several on the fly options they could custom make for me, & they did not disappoint. Pasta with vegetables sounds ordinary, but it was made with flavor & passion. Very large portion. 10/10. My friend also mentioned her Beef Wellington was the best she'd ever had. Atmosphere was nice, felt like a good tribute to the historical origins, but would have enjoyed a few plants throughout. Will definitely visit again.
This was my first experience at Gibbys & I was blown away. The location Is in this beautiful old Montreal building & there is a valet to park your car. The wine menu is quite extensive & found the wine of our pick with no problems. There was jazz music playing in the background & the place was packed even on a Tuesday night. I took the filet mignon with a side of lobster. The lobster was small, yet still very good. The filet mignon left me speechless. Best I've ever had. My husband got the beef Wellington & it was AMAZING. The palet cleansers were the perfect addition for each course. Our waiter was ok, not the best service, but still a polite gentleman. Would 100% return again
