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.
Overall, reviews portray Gibby's as a quintessential Montreal steakhouse with a storied Old Port setting, stone walls and a warm, intimate atmosphere that makes it ideal for celebrations and date nights. The portions are generous and the menu features classic, well cooked favorites like rib eye, filet mignon, Beef Wellington and beef carpaccio, with desserts and sides that many diners praise. The wine list and cocktails receive consistent praise, though a few guests feel the prices are high and wine guidance can be less reliable at times. Service is repeatedly described as attentive, knowledgeable and friendly across many visits, with standout experiences when staff anticipate needs, explain dishes and guide pairings; on some occasions, however, crowds, turnover or changes in ownership led to slower service or inconsistencies. Guests also note thoughtful touches such as bread and pickles on arrival, palate cleansers, occasional complimentary birthday cake or polaroid photos, and at times showmanship at the table, all of which contribute to a memorable experience. While many call it a Montreal institution and a must for a special occasion, others feel value has declined with price increases and some meals falling short of past high standards. In short, Gibby's delivers a classic, high end dining experience with a strong sense of history, excellent steaks and a generally positive service record, tempered by occasional fluctuations.

We spent our 25th wedding anniversary visiting friends in Montreal back in 2006 & we were just talking about Montreal & I mentioned having dinner at Gibby's. It was such a wonderful memory that I wanted to leave a review. The experience that night was unforgettable...even all these years later. Thank you for your attention to detail, your attentativeness to your guests & your dedication to serving the best food experience possible. You are etched in my memory & I am forever grateful.

Food was excellent. Great portions. Maybe slightly overpriced but the experience made it worth it. Vitali was our waiter & my wife & I both said he was amongst the best servers we've ever had. Truly luxurious atmosphere. Would 100% recommend
I loved the quality of everything!!! The pickles! The butter! The minced bacon (Although I don't like most of the bacon tastes in other places!)! The wine collection & above all the STEAK... The restoration of the old barn is very well done also! & thanks Alison for such a great service... Wish to be able to go back ASAP...😍😍😍

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!
Une très belle expérience. Il s'agit d'un restaurant que je qualifierais de luxe. Ce n'est pas le plus cher à Montréal bien sûr mais c'est le genre d'endroit à aller pour un occasion pour un anniversaire par exemple. Ce qui m'a tout de suite beaucoup plus c'est le mélange entre une ambiance distinguée mais conviviale. La carte est très bonne la viande cuite adéquatement & le service est très bon & évite les erreurs classiques que peuvent faire d'autres restaurants sur les bonnes manières, ça m'a souvent agréablement surpris.

Been here couple times. By chance seem to always be in the basement. Service is top notch no complaints. Food is right there decent portions but still pricing my opinion is a bit much. There is alot of options to go everywhere for cost of dinner here. Steak was cooked as it's suppose to be....salmon was touch on uncooked side could a used little more time. Probably will adventure to other places & not be going again

WOW! Gibby's did not disappoint! the service was amazing & ambiance dim & relaxing. The onion soup was great! steaks were very good & the potato was excellent. **Parents, do everyone else dinning a favor & don't bring young children
I came here for my anniversary with my boyfriend & it was incredibly special. I got the filet mignon & he got the salmon both of which were perfectly cooked & amazing. Our phenomenal server Kas recommended I get the mushroom sauce with my filet & I would definitely recommend. The meal comes with homemade pickles & bread to start, a salad, & a lemon sorbet pallet cleanser. When it was time for dessert, we were brought a whole cake for our anniversary & our server Kas took a polaroid photo of us which we will cherish for a long time. The night was just perfect, as was the food, & when I come back to Montréal I will absolutely be stopping at Gibby's again.
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)
