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.
Came here for my mothers birthday. The decor was gorgeous, perfectly reflecting the Nouvelle France history of the building. The house salad is hands down the best salad I've ever had. However, the mains were a bit of a let down. This might've been because of the dinner rush, but the bathrooms were completely trashed. There was toilet paper & hand towel all over the floors. I brought this to the attention of the wait staff & they were very professional & got it sorted out quickly. Overall, wasn't a bad meal whatsoever, but was it worth the steep price tag? For me, it's a no.
Food was 5/5. The bread & pickles to start were excellent. My husband said the clam chowder was the best he has ever had. I ordered 3 lobster tail dinner with Monte Carlo potato & asparagus. My husband had the filet mignon & a lobster tail with the same sides. The monte carlo potato is excellent. Unfortunately we did not know you could get croutons or bacon on your salad as our server never asked if we wanted any. Nor did he offer us a second cocktail or check to see how our meal was. The service was a 3/5 at best. That is generous. It was unfortunate as the other server working the room that night was excellent. What a difference a server can make to your overall experience. We told her we wished she would have served us when we asked her for the bill as our server seemed to disappear.

**Gibby's: A Gastronomic Adventure for the Ages** My dear epicureans, let me regale you with an account of an evening that can only be described as a culinary odyssey. After a most disappointing rendezvous at Moishes two weeks prior, I ventured to Gibby's to restore my faith in the art of dining. Good God, man, what an experience it turned out to be! The evening began with a symphony of flavors-the Burrata, accompanied by the freshest peaches & tomatoes, was a delight to the senses. However, the bread was so hard, it could have doubled as a gargantuous monkey fist. But I digress. Next came the French onion soup, a masterpiece of rich broth & caramelized onions that danced upon the palate with perfection. Following this, the escargot, suggested with cheese by our knowledgeable server, was nothing short of phenomenal. Each bite transported me to the cobblestone streets of Paris. The wedge salad, adorned with blue cheese, was a crisp & refreshing prelude to the main course. & before we could delve into the heart of our meal, we were served a lemon sorbet-an exquisite palate cleanser, tart & invigorating. Ah, the pièce de résistance-the fillet mignon. Cooked to an impeccable medium-rare, it was a testament to the craftsmanship of Gibby's kitchen. The side orders, mushrooms that sang with umami & a Monte Carlo potato that was, unlike the oversalted catastrophe at Moishes, sheer perfection. In conclusion, Gibby's is a bastion of culinary excellence. Every dish, a story; every bite, a memory. For those seeking a dining experience that transcends the ordinary, look no further. As J. Peterman would say, this is not just a meal; it is an adventure for the soul.
Very delicious, we took the Blue cheese salad + Salmon/Rice + Rib steak/baked Patato with Diane Sauce. Everything was great, & super service!! Would definetly come back!!
A true 5 star steak house experience in Montreal! An absolute must! The experience starts off in a beautiful heritage building in Old Port of Montreal. You will find helpful staff & white tablecloth tables. We came here with a large party so we ordered almost everything on the menu to try. The cowboy steak is a true show stopper. Flavorful, well served & not chewy. Perfect to share. The mains come with a salad, a trou normand & side (Monte Carlo potato is a must) Beef wellington was so well done! Flaky on the outside, tender meat on the inside. The sauce that came with it was also excellent. For dessert, the chocolate Gibby's is excellent. Like a chocolate hazelnut mousse with a nice textured layer in there. Staff was attentive & knew the menu well. Highly recommend!

Gibby's is a fantastic dining spot! The rib eye & arctic char were perfectly cooked & delicious, while the Gibby's salad was amazing. The sorbet served as a palate cleanser after each course was a delightful touch. With its warm atmosphere & impeccable service, Gibby's offers an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for a special occasion!
Service was rushed right from the start. They were very busy so the minute we sat down they went over the menu with us before we were even able to order a drink. They also charge you a fee to split meals & have an issue with chopping a salad for you or cooking the steak more than med well. But mostly it was the rushed feeling we got from the minute we sat down. Our waiter was very nice just moving at a million miles a minute. It didn't feel relaxed & enjoyable like we had hoped.
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.

Enjoy an upscale dining experience in a historic building which used to be a stable. This classic steakhouse features your typical cuts of steak with optional seafood additions for surf & turf. Wine selection is good & the service was exceptional so expect to be pampered. Alejandro was very attentive & kind. The homemade bread & the kosher pickles were great. The steaks were pretty good & the house salad was delicious.
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.
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... 👌🏻
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.

its always good to come eat here, also loved the one in Saint Sauveur especially in Winter. Everything was good even kids liked & ate some of the salad. Grilled salmon is a safe choice for kids. Carré D'agneau Grilled & Steak & Frites are also perfect. Crab cake & sautéed shrimps with garlic are awesome for appetizers/starters.
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.
Feb. 2024 - it seems like every 2 years, we come to this historic establishment for a great Gibby's dinner. You can never go wrong with the food. I've been eating here for over 50 years, & it is consistently excellent. The salad is ample in quantity, the steaks are perfectly cooked & the sides, vegetables & potatoes are always amazing. This was, however, the first time that I was NOT impressed with the service. Yes, it was busy, but there's more that enough staff. Forks went flying, tea, coffee, & chocolate mints were thrown on the table, & I never received my birthday cake that Gibby's was so famous for. It's unfortunate. I was so looking forward to it. When my husband called to make the reservation, they even asked for my name & how it was spelled. Because I was so unhappy my husband went to maitre d' & mentioned the fact. They were nice about it & said that they had a cake mentioned in the reservation. They will give it to us to take home. Ten minutes later, the waiter says there is an issue, they don't have a cake but her will give us 2 pieces of a dessert to take home. I got a box. Not sure what's inside, but I will let you know once I get home. Well, inside were two pieces of Blueberry cheese cake & 2 containers of blueberry coulis Thank you Gibby's. Customer satisfaction all the way. Feb 2022 - Another birthday was spent at Gibby's Montreal. I had the Petit Filet Mignon & a Lobster Tail with the Monte Carlo potato. Never disappointing. The lobster tail was small but excellent. My husband ordered the Gibby's cut 22oz steak with fries. He ordered it medium, but it came medium-rare. It was a little too blue for him, so he returned it. This is now the second time we have eaten here & had to return food. The waiter was nice about the issue, & it was immediately corrected. The birthday cake was great as usual. It's a vanilla cake with whip cream & fruit in the center. Don't forget the pic they give you to take home. It may be for some a bit pricey but well worth it. It is a good value because everything is included. All mains come with salad, potato, & veggies.
Had not been in a while & was really looking forward to dinner. Salad was pretty much iceberg salad from a bag. Steak was good. Three skinny little pieces of asparagus was pathetic. Oysters Rockefeller were ok but seriously the quality was not there & definitely not for that price. Many better nearby options including moishes. Hope they improve but I won't be back unless things change.
The oysters were honestly amazing. We preferred the fresh ones but the Rockefeller were really good as well. They give you warm bread, pickles & bacon at first & all the mains come with soup/salade & a side dish. We weren't fans of the Gaspacho (we found it was a little bit too spicy & trust us we love spicy food) but the salade was good! Our waitress was great & on point with everything. They even have a cake included with the meals if you guys are celebrating a birthday which was really good & not too sweet like you would think. They also have a valet service at the front so you don't need to break your head with the parking. The place itself is also very cute & cosy!
