Gibby's propose des coupes de bœuf de première qualité et des fruits de mer frais dans un bâtiment historique en pierre caractérisé par des foyers au bois et des boiseries sombres. Le menu se concentre sur des steaks vieillis à sec parés sur place, accompagnés de saumon de l'Atlantique, de truite arc-en-ciel et d'huîtres récoltées dans les eaux froides. Des accompagnements traditionnels tels que des pommes de terre au four, des cornichons et du pain au levain complètent les plats principaux. La clientèle découvre une disposition à plusieurs salles qui conserve une atmosphère d'intimité grâce à ses murs de pierre épais et ses plafonds bas. La préparation culinaire privilégie des techniques de grillade classiques sur flammes nues pour obtenir des textures et des profils aromatiques précis. Chaque sélection de fruits de mer respecte des normes d'approvisionnement rigoureuses. Cet établissement fonctionne comme un centre dédié aux viandes et aux produits aquatiques.

Kind of disappointed the servers knew it was my birthday (he wished me hbd) but we did not get a complimentary cake or Polaroid.
Meanwhile, the other table next to us was also celebrating a birthday & they got a complimentary cake & Polaroid. What's with this unfair & inconsistent service? If we were expected to pay for birthday treatment, that's fine. However, we were not informed at all.
If you decide to celebrate a special occasion here, do not expect it to be special. Very disappointing for a meal as expensive as this.
Great location & atmosphere, but the service did not match the price. I made a simple birthday request for my wife in advance & confirmed it with the hostess, but it was never done. Meanwhile, another table received birthday service. Very disappointing experience-I would not return or recommend.
An amazing experience & incredible food. The steak was perfect. It was my wife's birthday & they brought out maybe one of the best cakes we've had. You get so much for the money & a beautiful atmosphere.

Celebrated my birthday at Gibbys while in Montreal. Started with table bread, steak tartare & escargot. All delicious. Beef Wellington was one of the best I've had. Great service & ambiance as well. Highly recommended in you are in Old Montreal!
My son chose Gibbys to celebrate his birthday with us (his parents) & his girlfriend. He was looking forward to an excellent steak, which in the past was a staple at Gibbys. Well, not any more! 3 out of 4 of us at the table ordered steak & we were very disappointed. The meat was very low quality (thin cuts, too much fat at the edges, & worst of all _very_ tough). This was at best Grade A beef.
My son ordered his steak rare as he has done elsewhere & did so with confidence given Gibbys past reputation. The steak was cold inside (not cool, cold!) & felt that it had just been taken out of the fridge (or the freezer) & quickly slapped onto the grill. My ribeye was like the bottom of a shoe, tough & with no flavor except for the spices. The meat had no marbling at all. My wife's steak was passable, but neither of the 3 steak lovers at our table finished their steaks, which _never_ happens in our family. The Monte Carlo potato was very good, thankfully.
We were left thinking how much better things are at The Keg, which is not even supposed to be in Gibbys' class.
The 4th guest had grilled salmon which looked good & tasted fine, no issues there. The'famous' Gibbys salad was ok, fresh ingredients, nice dressing, croutons & bacon bits all good.
We reserved through Opentable & had noted that it was for a birthday & asked for the cake & splarker, as well as the polaroid. On the eve of the reservation, we got a call from Gibbys to confirm our request, including the cake & sparkler. All good so far.
At the restaurant, at the end of the meal the waiter brings the cake. No sparkler. He said they ran out. What is the point of confirming then? Run out & get a bloody sparkler when you bother to confirm, that's what good service _is_. The cake was this tiny terrible dry cake, which was supposed to be dessert. It was such a turnoff that we didn't order real dessert, hurriedly paid the bill & made a note to write a review about our experience.
Our waiter was effective & polite, nothing over the top. The valet was excellent, polite, funny & efficient. He even took a picture of us at the entrance. We are all smiling as it is before the meal...
Our bill with tax & tip was over $750 ($761.95 to be precise, with tax & tip). Gibbys is not what it used to be & with so many excellent choices in Montreal we are never returning. Very disappointing.
The last of my favourite restaurants finally has fallen. Once my first choice for birthdays or any celebration but now I will definitely think twice before going back.
Service left a lot to be desired. Waitress seemed bothered anytime a request was made, making a big deal about having to'go down to the kitchen'. Pickles & bread took forever to arrive, along with taking our order. Sat nearly 30 minutes before we were served & another 20 before any food hit the table.
Food was good but not excellent. Prices have increased but the quality has gotten worse. Steak was not cooked correctly.
Overall not the experience I expect for $100+ a head. Very disappointed & I am sad to say that I will be looking elsewhere for a high quality dining experience.
Edit: Management responded to my concerns promptly, assured me that changes are going to be made at the restaurant & offered some compensation. Will see how my next experience is & update the review.
Edit 2: Went back tonight & my experience was much better, while there were still some issues with the kitchen they certainly made up for it. Service was much better & I would definitely return.
Such a classic. They servers are so… feeling nostalgic at the level of service that's not found anywhere else. They make it feel like you're their only guests.
Ok so here's the thing. It looks like expensive prices (steaks for example) but there's a lot that comes with it. The appetizers, either a salad or a wedge. Try the wedge!!!! It's a meal on its own but soooooo good. Never seen lettuce this size. Also on the table, bacon, pickles & bread as soon as you get there.
Steaks were awesome as you'd expect, perfect cooking & lots of choices of sides.
2nd time we come here for a birthday, if you say it ahead of time, you'll actually get a birthday cake.
Also fun to watch them do their show with alcoholic coffees & pouring with the flame.
Of course the restaurant is gorgeous & so classy.
Go there! Must visit if you're in Montreal, everyone knows this place !
Vitali took care of us tonight for my friend birthday, he made sure to explain in details everything that we needed to know about steaks even making great suggestion 🫡 real gentleman , we appreciated the food & the ambiance that allowed us to celebrate properly thank you mister Vitali
The service & atmosphere are stellar. I went for my birthday & got a complementary cake.
The food: I've had the filet mignon & beef wellington. They were both amazing, cooked to perfection & seasoned wondefully. The only complaint I have is the borderlaise sauce for the beef wellington was too sage-heavy, but the steak, duxelle, & puff pastry were so good sauce was not necessary. The iceberg salad is one of the best salads I ever had, & you can get extra bacon to your liking. The mocktails are sweet & flavorful. The fries were okay, not much seasoning but cooked perfectly.
Our server Klaude was great & I hope to get him as our server next time I go.
