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.
Still a great old Montreal experience. Impeccable service as always, even though there was an ownership change. Best old fashioned in Montreal! Amazing raw oysters. I'm a beef wellington afficionado, & it's getting more & more difficult to find. Gibby's still has it on the main menu (most places now are a special if you're lucky), but it's smaller than it used to be (8 Oz) , like everything else post-pandemic. One thing they don't have anymore are the showmanship table desserts like bananas Foster or cherries jubilee. Still worth a visit especially coming from the USA taking advantage of the good exchange rate.
Une superbe expérience. Toutes mes demandes lors de la réservation ont été prises en compte. Attention très sympa pour l'anniversaire de mon ami. Un vrai plus offert par l'établissement. Des plats avec du goût. Un régal. Service agréable. Merci encore !
Gibby's makes steak so good it practically melts in your mouth. The sides are magnificent, & the desserts are heavenly. With the service & atmosphere you will not have a better dining experience in your life.
Pas mal cher pour une qualité & un service pas extraordinaires. Assiettes non standardisées donc si ton voisin prend la même chose que toi sur le menu ce ne sera pas la même chose dans vos assiettes...
Great non-Franchise Steakhouse. This is truly a first-class Steakhouse, without feeling stuffy. The Steaks are outstanding, & the service is warm & friendly
I had been curious about this restaurant for a while after seeing many great reviews. The exterior & interior atmosphere of the restaurant are superb. The staff are kind, friendly, quick in their work, & very attentive. Before the steak, a salad & lemon sherbet for palate cleansing are served. The steak is so large that it overflows from the plate! The cooking is also perfect! This is my favorite restaurant that I visit every time I travel to Montreal.

WOW. What an amazing dinning experience. Emile was our waiter & I will strongly encourage to ask for him. From start to finish we felt like royalty! Food was out of this world & came exactly as requested. A must visit if you haven't been & a must revisit if you haven't been in a while (It had been 13+ years since we had last been). Montreal has been hit & miss lately with service but Gibby's did not disappoint.
A restaurant with a wonderful old stone building & beautiful design. Very professional & friendly staff & very delicious food. The price is very reasonable for the excellent service & food & having a good time. 😍. & the best & good ending of our dinner was Gibbys chocolate, wow 😋😋😋
Was looking forward to my birthday dinner at Gibbys. Started with a rude hostess & moved to an indifferent waiter. Meal was very average, including dessert. Waiter didnt ask if our steaks were cooked to liking, had to ask for dessert menus. It had been a while & was excited to share Gibbys with my sons. Won't be back. A lot better places in Montreal to have a great steak dinner.
Wow! What an experience. So good. Steak cooked to perfection, waiter attentive & very knowledgeable about the wine. Surprised our table with a cake. Definitely would love to go back.
You're craving steak? This is the place. Definitely on the pricey side for what you pay. The service was a bit slow: waiter was not attentive (forgot what we ordered & forgot to bring steak knife while food is getting cold) but understandable given the massive place.
