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.

Overall, it was a good experience with a very intimate setting. Unfortunately, our wine glasses & utensils had stains, but they promptly replaced them. My chicken was undercooked initially, but they quickly made a new plate, which was delicious. I would give it a 4/5 overall.
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.
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

Best steak I've had in a Steakhouse! Service is top notch. Beautiful decor as well. If you're into meat you'll be pleased. Oysters were delicious as well. Theres variety of good wines.
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.
Completing my touring of Montreal finest steakhouses. This time, dinner at Gibby's, an institution that I have not visited since 2009. In 2009, when I first visited Gibby's, I had not much experience with steakhouses & I was very impressed at that time. Years later, I have tried many steakhouses not only in Canada, but also in the US & in other countries where beef is as revered as in the US. The reason I am writing this is because I do not think that Gibby's is bad. They are doing things the same way they used to, but I believe that I am not impressed by it anymore only because my taste has evolved. So Yes, my rib eye was cooked to requested doneness, but no it's no more one that seduces me because nowadays my ideal rib eye steak is the like of a corn-finished 40 days dry aged Black Angus, A 40 days wet aged USDA prime, bone-in, etc.. which are clearly not what was offered on this dinner (this boneless rib eye steak was firmer, had less fat distribution, less expressive meat flavor ...but again, compared ..to what i idealize as great today ). So less impressed,indeed, but only because my taste has switched to something else, NOT because it is bad! & yes, if you start comparing to some other hot steakhouses, well no it is not playing in the same league as it is not its purpose neither. Still, it's a generous steakhouse: nice warm bread, palate cleanser, pickles of great quality, plenty of salad did accompany my rib eye. The only thing that i can't put on the back of the evolution of my palate is this : the wine service...leaving a glass of Pinot noir on my table without showing the bottle to me, without pre-tasting NO & NO! You serve me my glass of Pinot Noir while I haven't finished my other glass of sparkling wine, again..NO! & what about the year of that PN? Its description (region, etc) There's no excuse for that.
