Chez Gibby's on trouve le car homard grillé, entrecôte coupe maison, surlonge coupe new-yorkaise, bifteck au poivre vert de Madagascar ou poisson frais du jour sont les vedettes du menu.
Dans l'ensemble, les avis présentent Gibby's comme une institution du Vieux-Montréal, avec un cadre historique et une ambiance intime parfaite pour les occasions spéciales; les plats de viande classiques, comme le filet mignon, le beef Wellington ou le ribeye, sont souvent salués pour leur cuisson et leur saveur, accompagnés d'accompagnements généreux et de desserts aboutis, tandis que le service reçoit des éloges pour son professionnalisme et son attention dans de nombreuses visites, mais apparaît inégal selon les soirs, avec des critiques sur l'attente, des erreurs de service et des tensions liées au volume ou au manque de personnel; la carte des vins et les cocktails est fréquemment mentionnée comme un atout, parfois avec des recommandations solides, mais le prix élevé est aussi évoqué, certains ressentant un bon rapport qualité-prix au regard de l'établissement et d'autres estimant que le coût est trop important pour la valeur percue; plusieurs clients profitent des gestes lors d'occasions comme anniversaires ou fêtes (gâteau, photo Polaroid, flambage à table), et beaucoup repartent en recommandant le lieu tout en admettant que le niveau de constance peut varier avec le temps et le changement de direction; malgré ces nuances, Gibby's demeure un symbole du steakhouse traditionnel à Montréal et l'essentiel des retours convergent vers une expérience riche, chaleureuse et mémorable, même si certains trouvent le coût élevé et les expériences récentes moins brillantes que par le passé.
This was my first experience at Gibbys & I was blown away. The location Is in this beautiful old Montreal building & there is a valet to park your car. The wine menu is quite extensive & found the wine of our pick with no problems. There was jazz music playing in the background & the place was packed even on a Tuesday night. I took the filet mignon with a side of lobster. The lobster was small, yet still very good. The filet mignon left me speechless. Best I've ever had. My husband got the beef Wellington & it was AMAZING. The palet cleansers were the perfect addition for each course. Our waiter was ok, not the best service, but still a polite gentleman. Would 100% return again
I recently dined at Gibby's & had a rather disappointing experience. While the service initially started off well, it significantly deteriorated as the meal progressed. After finishing our initial glasses of water, beer, & soda, we were never offered refills. It felt as though we were being actively ignored by the staff. It wasn't just our table experiencing this issue; the table behind us also had to ask the server if they were being ignored. We ended up sitting at our table for 20 minutes before we could finally flag down our server to ask for the bill.The one redeeming quality of the evening was the food. It was really good & met our expectations in terms of taste & presentation. However, for the price of the food, I expected a much higher level of service. Unfortunately, the lack of attention & the poor service left a sour taste in our mouths. Judging by recent reviews we may have just come on an off night, but I can't honestly say I have any desire to return.

We are visiting Montreal with friends & Gibby's was recommended by locals. The restaurant has so much charm & you can tell it is loved by all ages of guests. The service was wonderful, Diane, our server, was attentive, friendly & patient when we took our time ordering. We all ordered various steak entrees & felt they were prepared perfectly. It's not often you get an actual "rare" steak when you ask for it so I was thrilled. Gibby's is a proper steakhouse, they let the meats speak for themselves. However the black pepper mushroom sauce on the "Diane" was really good too! The blue cheese salad was phenomenal & loved the Monte Carlo potato. As we were all quite full from the pickles, bread & steak entrees we decided to split a sorbet dessert. It was enough for our party of 4 to have a few tastes & feel satisfied. Plus it came with a cookie & dinner mints.
Since 1984 this was our go to place for our wedding anniversary. Gibbys was sold last year & subsequently food preparation, quality & menu selections have declined. Prices have increased dramatically. The salad's not what is used to be; my shrimps were tough & my wife's chicken kiev was overcooked & burnt. The service was good, although not quite what we were used to. One can tell the restaurant has changed management. Sadly & regretfully we will not be returning this year.
Montreal is known for its culinary excellence, our experience was far from it. On recommendation, we reserved. The location & ambience were lovely, we looked forward to the experience. I'm not sure what the problem was with our seating, there seemed to be ample space, however 2 waiters continuously bumped our chairs when going by, not just a few times but over & over. My husband ordered beef carpaccio to start, which they did not have. When it came to dessert, he ordered crème brûlée, which they didn't have either. My beef wellington boasted approximately 2 tbsp of duxelle, I took the pastry off because I found it hard to believe they would send it out of the kitchen like that & sure enough the duxelle was almost non-existent. We overheard the table next to ours order a second bottle of wine & were told there was no more of that brand, so they would have to order something else. It can also be noted that our server seemed to go out of his way to be rude. Each time I thanked him he would just walk away as I was speaking to him, he seemed unhappy that we were there. Not having ample product, repeatedly banging into customers & overall rude service, I have had a hard time choosing which steak house has been my favourite during our travels, Gibbys has made it very easy to determine which was the worst
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.
Gibby's is an absolute classic located in Vieux Port. The building is cozy, rustic & nostalgic. Steak is a must, they will cook to your liking. The portions are big, & the value is worth it. Service is top notch, they are real pros of the industry, thank you Christian! Highly recommend you check this place out.

So happy to leave this review. My ex-boyfriend & I had a reservation at Gibby's & it was such an experience. We arrived, they were extremely busy & I think reservations weren't organized too well, but nonetheless, we were seated & greated by our server Christine. She was incredible, fast, busy, hustling but really incredible. Definitely ask for her service! The food was amazing. Very large portions. Pricey but worth it.. well done Gibby's. Will absolutely recommend it as the best steakhouse in Montreal.
One the best places to try good steak. If you are hungry I suggest the RIP eye steak(gibby's cut) which is large & juicy. Try the salad with blue cheese... 👌🏻
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.

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.
I just left from Gibbys . We already when there several times . Food is always good. But specially today our server was so amazing , amazing 😻 he's name is Luc 🧡wow just wow thank you 😊
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.
Gibbys proclaims "Experience the finest seafood, fresh plump chilled oysters, a large choice of the freshest fish & Gibbys' expertly aged delectable steaks, cooked to perfection." I have been to some of the finest steakhouses in North America (yes that is only my opinion) but they would include Bern's inTampa, Golden Steer in Las Vegas, Gibsons in Chicago, Charlie's in Orlando, Peter Luger in NYC, etc. Expectations were high. Ambiance did not disappoint. Selection was promising. Ordered the Gibby's cut. Looked perfect, but on 1st few bites it was obvious to me it was slightly overcooked. I would have managed, but before I could even draw attention to the waitress, the manager (his name is Adil) was at our table asking if everything was ok. I mentioned it was a bit more overcooked than I was used to & without hesitation or question he asked if he could replace it for me. I said it was fine. He insisted & said it was his responsibility to ensure they offered their best. Promptly replaced, it was perfect. No questions asked, no guilt involved, they made it right. To me, that separates the elite experiences from even the best. Attention to making the evening perfect is what Gibbys does exceptionally well. Enjoy the experience. Relish in the service. Highly recommended.
un sans faute...! un des 10 meilleurs restaurants à vie que j'ai goûté, le serveur Yvon est parfait, gentil, & très professionnel wow ! Les huîtres Rockefeller sont juste parfaites, le boeuf Wellington tendre à souhait , les pickles, l'assiette de crevettes géantes, les patates farcies, le dessert spécial Gibbys, l'attention du (sorbet au citron) ❤️ le serveur a même passé le petit aspirateur sur la table , seul petit point à améliorer & encore c'est un détail , les sachets de sucre "menu" avec le café , fait cheap un peu , des cubes de sucre ou un sucre st - louis ou lantic de montréal ou sucre brun ferait encore mieux mais c'est un simple de détail ❤️❤️❤️😍wow merci Gibbys
We were at Gibbys for my mother's birthday. Our server Mourad was amazing, attentive, patient & always smiling. The included salads, baked potatoes, fresh bread & birthday cake were all delicious. The Beef Wellington & steaks were good. This wasn't our first time dining here & as usual the ambience was inviting & warm.
