Mise à jour 1er Février 2026 - un peu une déception. Nous y sommes allés en Décembre aussi & nous constatons que le service n'y est plus. La cohue totale dans la salle à manger, pas assez de personnel pour le nombre de clients. Personne s'aide, plusieurs semblent inexpérimentés. Notre serveuse Sarah a fait un bon travail pour se débrouiller tant bien que mal. 3 heures d'attente du début à la fin. Le manger toujours excellent mais l'expérience définitivement plus la même 😢 J'ai laissé mes commentaires au bas pour démontrer le contraste.

Un des meilleurs restaurants a Montréal. Le service était impeccable, la nourriture bien apprêtée avec des portions généreuses & un ambiance champêtre. Merci pour la gâteau, nous avons adoré notre soirée anniversaire! Nous y serons de retour bientôt

De retour avec un ami pour sa première expérience 6 Avril 2022. Toujours une soirée mémorable de la cuisine au service & passant par l'accueil & le valet. Merci Yvan pour l'excellent service attentionné, bravo à toute l'équipe. Carré d'agneau & filet mignon à la perfection 👌😎

The food, the ambiance, the staff, & the service were exceptional! Although it is on the expensive side, you get a good amount of great quality food for your money. They even brought us a peach cake to celebrate my birthday.

This one hurts to write a little. We visited Gibbys tonight for the first time in two years, a long awaited return for us after we had our first child. We used to visit here to celebrate our birthdays & anniversary every year. We love the old building, the ambiance & old school vibes. But the vibes were different all around. After glancing at the menu I noticed it was same but also very different from before, I speculated they were bought in the time of our last visit & this holds true. The general vibes are the same but the service was not as great as we're accustomed to. Not sure if it's because we brought our child with us? Or because we are American? Our server was fantastic, & made us feel welcomed when she noticed we didn't feel that way… but service from coat check & the hosts was rather cold. We also made notes in the reservation that it was my husbands birthday & requested a high chair, but I guess those got lost somehow because they made kind of a big deal about getting us a high chair after they brought us to the table. The food…I know they're trying to keep it original but it was rather mediocre. Steaks were cooked great but any lacked seasoning, the salad was soggy & almost inedible. The Diane sauce tasted different. It just wasn't hitting the same. Also, how is there no changing table at all in this place? Wild. What was supposed to be a lovely celebratory evening & sharing the tradition with our young son. But we don't think we will be back after this.

Gibbys est un restaurant emblématique de Montréal. Un bâtiment historique datant de plus de 200 ans dans le vieux-port. Murs de pierre, foyer, un service aux petits soins & une nourriture d'une grande qualité. Tout est en place pour passer une soirée exceptionnelle dans un cadre unique.

Vitali is the best server I've ever had. Diane & JO are close contenders, I had the best dining experience with them, I would come back to this restaurant just to get served by them again ❤?

Our server, Catherine, provided us with a wonderful experience! She was so much fun & had so much enthusiasm & knowledge. She clearly cares about what she does & I hope management recognizes how hard working & skilled she is! Everything we ate was delicious. We enjoyed the beef tartare appetizer & beef Wellington for dinner. The meal was perfectly paced. The dessert drink, named the Brazil, was so much fun & delicious. They flambé the drink at the table, giving you a great show. Thank you, Gibby's, for the amazing memories!

I visited this restaurant recently & enjoyed a good overall experience. I ordered a salad as a starter, the prime rib for my main course, & a tart for dessert. Everything was nicely prepared & flavorful.
The service was attentive & friendly, which made the visit even better. The only downside is that the prices were a bit on the higher side, especially since I didn't order any drinks.
Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience & worth trying.

I debated even writing this review, as I don't usually leave restaurant reviews-positive or negative.
I received a gift card to Gibby's for Christmas & was genuinely excited to return. The gift card was purchased over the phone & was ready for pickup at the time of our reservation, which went smoothly.
We were seated at a very tight table for two, with our chairs wedged between the backs of neighboring tables. While uncomfortable, we managed to settle in without disrupting other diners.
Shortly after, another couple was seated at the table beside us, requiring us to stand-with drinks in hand-to allow them access to their seats. Unfortunately, this became a recurring issue throughout the evening. Our server, Sebastian, repeatedly squeezed past us to pour water, take orders, & deliver food, frequently bumping into me without offering an apology.
The neighboring table eventually raised concerns about the lack of space & was reassigned, which once again required us to get up so they could exit. When salads, pickles, & bread arrived (all of which were very good), yet another table was seated nearby, & once again we had to interrupt our meal to let new diners through. Menus were passed over my head, & the repeated bumping continued. I was bumped well over a dozen times during the course of the meal without any acknowledgment.
For our mains, we ordered two Gibby's cuts cooked medium. They arrived medium rare. While not prepared as requested, the food was still enjoyable, & we chose not to send it back.
Overall, the food was solid. Unfortunately, the service left much to be desired.
When it came time to pay, I mentioned the gift card. Having served before, I had already calculated a 20% tip based on the full bill, not just the remaining balance after the gift card was applied. The gift card was processed, the remaining balance paid by debit, & the tip entered accordingly.
As I handed the payment machine back & said thank you, Sebastian tore off the receipt, tossed it onto the table, & walked away abruptly.
If a 20% tip is considered unsatisfactory, I would suggest checking in with guests shortly after their mains arrive, minimizing physical disruptions throughout the meal, & offering a simple'excuse me' or'sorry' when repeatedly bumping into diners.
Regardless of the tip amount, acknowledging & thanking guests is just good manners & what I would think is expected when you are representing a business.
While the food was good, Montreal has many excellent restaurants. At Gibby's price point, the overall experience matters just as much as the food-& unfortunately, this experience didn't feel worth it. I'm glad this was a gift card, & I'll be choosing a different restaurant to recommend or gift in the future.

Gibbys is an amazing establishment with absolutely unforgettable food, service, ambience, & very cool history. I'm not sure if Kas still works there, but he was our server & literally was my favorite person I met in Montreal for our long weekend getaway. We were there a YEAR ago & I haven't forgotten about Gibbys & Kas! Everything we had was perfect delicious. We will definitely return next time we're in Montreal! Photos shared too!

Je m'attendais à un filet mignon (86$) très tendre (cuisson médium saignant) mais ça été décevant . La présentation du plat laisse à désirer.

Le prix de chaque plat est dispendieux mais ça inclut une belle'expérience du gybbys du vieux Montréal, le très bon service (Martin) & les serveurs étaient très gentils & professionnels .

Bonne soirée avec des amis sommes toutes mais pour 350$/2 personnes le qualité-prix est trop cher.

We came here for my boyfriend's birthday with high expectations but were disappointed. The night started with me asking a few questions about wines, which the waiter didn't seem to have much knowledge on, instead of asking someone else he specifically said the Riesling was a sweet wine & wouldn't pair with steak, however after a quick google search, the wine is a dry minerally wine, which I don't expect a server to know every wine, but I wouldn't recommend saying your not sure than giving false information.
He then went to ask the sommelier for a recommendation, but he didn't ask us what type of wine we were looking for, & came back to suggest a 130$ bottle, with the only reasoning that it was recommended. With no proper explanation of the wine I wouldn't purchase a 130$ bottle. Also if there is a sommelier, why are they not sent to the table to help pick a wine or recommendation?
Also when we came back with the recommendation, he brought the menu to my boyfriend even though I had been the ones asking the question??
For the steaks, the waiter asked if we wanted the steak spices on top or on the side, & the waiter wrote it down on his notepad, which my boyfriend asked for the spices on the side, yet we were served steaks with spices on them. (In my opinion it makes it worse if it written down & the mistake is made) . We decided not to say anything on the spot as the steak is still yummy & doesn't seem worth wasting a while piece of meat for a simple mistake.

In the reservation we had made a note that we were celebrating his birthday. At the end of the meal after asking for the bill, the waiter brought the bill & was about to get the card machine, & came back to say he heard it was a birthday, & said he would be right back. He brought out a cake which is presumably their policy, but he didn't ask us first, which yes it is nice but neither me or my boyfriend particularly wanted cake, so we ate some of it out of guilt of a whole cake brought out.
The steaks were good, also the German Riesling was a good dry white wine with steaks. The experience with the wine really tainted my experience, I know it is not a wine bar but at a restaurant where the bill is over 300$ you would hope to have a better service. At the end they take a picture on a Polaroid & give it to you which is cute.
With the whole experience I don't count myself coming back or recommending it to anyone either.

⭐ Food Review: Gibby's - Old Montreal

I pass by this restaurant during the day & never knew that this place has such a rich history within the community. Gibby's has that unmistakable Old Montreal charm -- stone walls, warm lighting, & a sense that dinner is meant to be an occasion. Our visit leaned into that spirit beautifully.

🍷 Wine - Tenuta Geretto 2021 (White Wine). The evening opened with a crisp, elegant pour of Tenuta Geretto 2021. It struck a lovely balance - bright acidity, subtle fruit, & just enough minerality to refresh the palate between bites. A clean, versatile white that paired surprisingly well with a hearty steak.

🥩 Main Course - Rib Eye Boneless Steak (Enough for Two). Gibby's is known for its classic steakhouse approach, & the rib eye delivered exactly that. Generously portioned - easily shared between two - it arrived perfectly cooked, with that signature Gibby's char on the outside & tender richness inside. The cut had great marbling, translating into deep, buttery flavor without feeling heavy. Sharing it made the experience feel indulgent without being overwhelming.

🍮 Dessert - Crème Brûlée. A classic ending done right. The sugar crust cracked with that satisfying tap, revealing a silky custard underneath. Not overly sweet, not overly dense - just a smooth, comforting finish to a rich meal.

🎯 Overall Impression
Gibby's remains a quintessential Old Montreal dining experience: generous portions, timeless dishes, & a setting that feels both historic & celebratory. The combination of a crisp Italian white, a shareable rib eye, & a well-executed crème brûlée made for a memorable evening that balanced indulgence with elegance.

My first time at Gibbys. Just wow! We went there before the Paul McCartney concert in November. The food & atmosphere were amazing. But the best part of our evening was the service. Our server Linda truly made it a memorable experience. Will definitely be back soon!
