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.
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.
Clam chowder was great, salad was great, bread was great, asparagus was great, Monte Carlo potatoe was dry & lifeless, shrimp cocktail shrimps were poorly prepared (over cooked) - rubbery & tough.

Meilleur service que j'ai eu de toute ma vie. On nous a même apporté un gâteau de fête complet & assez gros pour mon anniversaire que je n'avais pas demandé & il on prit une photo pollaroid qu'ils nous ont remis dans une petite enveloppe! Pour la nourriture, tout était d'une excellente qualité!
Both times I went here were some of the best fine dining experiences I've ever had. I'm not very posh, but the atmosphere, servers, & most importantly , the food, are all AMAZING. The salmon filet, my favourite dish, was prepared perfectly.
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
Such an amazing experience! Celebrated my birthday & Gibbys made it so memorable! Excellent service by Melodie. I definitly recommend the restaurant. Unique service, we feel very much appreciated as clients going there. Gibby's never fails I swear.
Great place for a dinner with close ones. Recently visited with friends to celebrate an engagement & Tammy treated us very well. Professional service & I'll be sure to visit again. 10/10.
