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.
Not a bad dinner out. We were Montreal & met friends who had also come in from out of town. The place is big & historic. Very comfortable inside although where we were seated had a slight chill. Our server was good. Appetizers were very good but steaks were pretty standard. Have had worse steaks elsewhere but have had better steaks out as well. Not bad but nothing really that stood out.
Amazing meat . The Wellington was really well made & the Steak a la Diane had an awesome sauce & texture. Salads were also very good, especially the blue cheese cream. Portions are very generous so go for appetizers only if you're really hungry. Will come agin for the rib steak.
We went in for a steak last night. The place is beautiful. Wonderful location, beautiful building. White table cloth, lights lit up everywhere. We ordered a bottle of the 2021 Berone Chianti. (66$) She brought over a 2022 bottle & said that's all they had but it was the same price. Should have been lower then not the same. Right off the bat they're jurying you & giving you something of less value to charge the same. I own three wineries as she went off on it being the same. Not off to a good start. We ordered two 15oz rib steaks. They came with a salad, pickles & bread prior. Pickles, salad & bread were really good. The steaks were flavourless & pretty fatty. She pushed buying one of the sauces. IMHO you don't sauce a steak. Coarse salt is what's needed, not table salt. Most of the dinner was trying to upsell us, bottled water, steak sauce, apps, desserts. All in all, the keg is where I would stick. Nice to try these overpriced places once in a while but not at all needed & it was mediocre. Enjoy!
Go for the History, Not the Food or Service This was my first time at Gibby's, & after hearing so many good things, I was excited to try it. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The evening started on a positive note. My friend & I were greeted by the hostess, & our jackets were taken promptly. This initial service was probably the best we experienced all night. Once seated, the waitress arrived, & things seemed to be moving quickly at first. We ordered a dozen oysters, a cowboy steak, a salad with blue cheese dressing, Monte-Carlo potatoes, & a Manhattan to drink. The Manhattan was fantastic-easily a 10/10. The oysters, which arrived after about 30 minutes, were good but not exceptional due to the accompanying sauces. From there, it was downhill. Service: 4/10 The service left much to be desired. For example, I had a bottle of Pellegrino with a quarter left, & the waitress attempted to take it away. When I stopped her, she poured the remaining water into our glasses without a word & walked off. Later, when we were served regular water, she filled my glass to the brim, making it difficult to lift without spilling. On the positive side, at least the alcohol arrived promptly. Salad: 1.5/10 I ordered the blue cheese dressing salad, & it was disappointing. While the lettuce was crisp, the dressing was terrible. I love salads-almost as much as steak-but this one was a letdown. Steak: 4/10 We ordered the 36 oz cowboy steak rare, & while it was cooked to the right temperature, it lacked flavor. Honestly, I've had better steaks at The Keg. For the price & reputation, I expected much more. While the size was generous & enough for two grown men, the taste was underwhelming. Digestif: 5/10 The lemon digestif was fine-nothing special, nothing terrible. Overall: If you're planning to visit Gibby's, understand that you're paying for the name & the historical ambiance, not the food or service. The total came to $400 with tip, which felt excessive for an experience that was mediocre at best. If you're looking for quality, head to Grinder instead-you'll save money & have a better meal. Verdict: Skip it.
We started with the burrata, which was fresh & perfectly creamy, highly recommend! For the main course, the filet mignon & rack of lamb, both cooked to medium-rare, were cooked to perfection. The service was impeccable. We'll definitely return
We had our special night out on Dec 3 Rd 2024 Celebrating 42 yrs together Gibby s been part of this celebration 1982I order the rack of Lamb & was told that the Mint jelly that they always serve with this dish was change the sauce that came with it was very good! But I wish they would have the option of either Mint jelly or the new changes. I really prefer the mint with this dish! Thank you for a very nice evening ❤️
Le restaurant à été vendu & on sent bien une différence dans l'assiette, on ne retrouve plus certains classiques au menu, tel que l'Osso Bucco, leur fameux riz a fait place à un riz blanc plutôt décevant & sans goût. Au final, pour avoir visité celui de Saint-Sauveur dans les dernières semaines, nous avons préféré, une fois de plus celui de Place d'Youville pour la nourriture.
Jaisson was truly amazing & gave the best service ever. We celebrated my friends birthday & it couldn't have been more perfect! Food was amazing & worth every penny. Thank you.
Hubby & I had dinner & loved the service & atmosphere. The food was good although I was not impressed with the quality of the beef. I had the filet & hubby had beef Wellington. Steaks were cooked to perfection & appetizers etc. were great. I loved that they served dill pickles along side the bread. Pickle lovers will definitely love this option vs bread.

Came here on a Saturday night at 5:30pm for dinner & it was honestly mediocre, especially for the price you are paying. The portions are quite large for a fine dining restaurant which I can appreciate however, some of the food was under seasoned & the oysters still had some of the shell pieces left. As for the service it was decent. But some of the servers often mixed up orders with different tables. So overall I would not recommend this spot based on the price for the dining experience. 7/10.
