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.
Absolutely amazing! Very classy place, beautifully designed & amazing service. Prices were a bit on the expensive side but you pay for the quality of both the meal & the service

This restaurants reputation for food, service & atmosphere is renown for a reason! What a great experience my group had at Gibby's. We were a group of 14 all served quickly & at the same time. Definitely coming back!
I wasn't very hungry when i dropped in but lost my appetite when I saw the prices. I end up ordering a couple of drinks & a blue cheese salade, which was 1/4 of a lettuce with croutons, bacon & crappy sauce. If you're gonna charge so much for the menu at least upgrade your bathrooms & have all the stalls working. Cynthia my waitress was a 5 stars.
Rien à dire, très bonne qualité, très bon service ! Les prix peuvent paraître cher au premier abord, mais au final le rapport qualité prix est top! J'y retournerai.
The service & food at Gibby's was nothing like ever before. Our server, Ivan, was simply amazing. I can't say enough about how delicious the food was. I'd come back to Montreal just for this restaurant.

Great experience with perfectly cooked rib steak & a very knowledgable waiter (Rainer) who helped us make the right selection. Nice warm bread offered at the start & then some very good sorbet as a palette cleanser before the main. Cosy atmosphere inside & centrally located in the old town. Would recommend
We had such an amazing experience at Gibby's! If you are looking for somewhere to host your event look no further! Not only are they well organized & communicative during the planning process but they are incredible during the event! We received so many compliments from our guests & everyone loved their meals! The wait staff was friendly, patient & made us feel listened too all while serving us quickly with delicious food! Thank you Gibby's once again for making our wedding day perfect!

THANK Y TO VITALIY ONE MORE TIme ! & then A valet guy was also really nice!
I cannot say enough how amazing our night was at Gibby's. From the excellent chowder, to the perfect lobster tail, the food exceeded expectations. The sorbet cleanser & little vacuum to keep your table clean, just the right touch. Luke, our waiter, went above & beyond to give us great service. Gibby's holds a special place in my heart, as I was here years ago with my son, so this memory tour was extra special.
