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.
Gibbys est un restaurant emblématique de Montréal. Un bâtiment historique datant de plus de 200 ans dans le vieux-port. Murs de pierre, foyer, un service aux petits soins & une nourriture d'une grande qualité. Tout est en place pour passer une soirée exceptionnelle dans un cadre unique.
Vitali is the best server I've ever had. Diane & JO are close contenders, I had the best dining experience with them, I would come back to this restaurant just to get served by them again ❤?
Our server, Catherine, provided us with a wonderful experience! She was so much fun & had so much enthusiasm & knowledge. She clearly cares about what she does & I hope management recognizes how hard working & skilled she is! Everything we ate was delicious. We enjoyed the beef tartare appetizer & beef Wellington for dinner. The meal was perfectly paced. The dessert drink, named the Brazil, was so much fun & delicious. They flambé the drink at the table, giving you a great show. Thank you, Gibby's, for the amazing memories!
I visited this restaurant recently & enjoyed a good overall experience. I ordered a salad as a starter, the prime rib for my main course, & a tart for dessert. Everything was nicely prepared & flavorful.
The service was attentive & friendly, which made the visit even better. The only downside is that the prices were a bit on the higher side, especially since I didn't order any drinks.
Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience & worth trying.
I debated even writing this review, as I don't usually leave restaurant reviews-positive or negative.
I received a gift card to Gibby's for Christmas & was genuinely excited to return. The gift card was purchased over the phone & was ready for pickup at the time of our reservation, which went smoothly.
We were seated at a very tight table for two, with our chairs wedged between the backs of neighboring tables. While uncomfortable, we managed to settle in without disrupting other diners.
Shortly after, another couple was seated at the table beside us, requiring us to stand-with drinks in hand-to allow them access to their seats. Unfortunately, this became a recurring issue throughout the evening. Our server, Sebastian, repeatedly squeezed past us to pour water, take orders, & deliver food, frequently bumping into me without offering an apology.
The neighboring table eventually raised concerns about the lack of space & was reassigned, which once again required us to get up so they could exit. When salads, pickles, & bread arrived (all of which were very good), yet another table was seated nearby, & once again we had to interrupt our meal to let new diners through. Menus were passed over my head, & the repeated bumping continued. I was bumped well over a dozen times during the course of the meal without any acknowledgment.
For our mains, we ordered two Gibby's cuts cooked medium. They arrived medium rare. While not prepared as requested, the food was still enjoyable, & we chose not to send it back.
Overall, the food was solid. Unfortunately, the service left much to be desired.
When it came time to pay, I mentioned the gift card. Having served before, I had already calculated a 20% tip based on the full bill, not just the remaining balance after the gift card was applied. The gift card was processed, the remaining balance paid by debit, & the tip entered accordingly.
As I handed the payment machine back & said thank you, Sebastian tore off the receipt, tossed it onto the table, & walked away abruptly.
If a 20% tip is considered unsatisfactory, I would suggest checking in with guests shortly after their mains arrive, minimizing physical disruptions throughout the meal, & offering a simple'excuse me' or'sorry' when repeatedly bumping into diners.
Regardless of the tip amount, acknowledging & thanking guests is just good manners & what I would think is expected when you are representing a business.
While the food was good, Montreal has many excellent restaurants. At Gibby's price point, the overall experience matters just as much as the food-& unfortunately, this experience didn't feel worth it. I'm glad this was a gift card, & I'll be choosing a different restaurant to recommend or gift in the future.
Gibbys is an amazing establishment with absolutely unforgettable food, service, ambience, & very cool history. I'm not sure if Kas still works there, but he was our server & literally was my favorite person I met in Montreal for our long weekend getaway. We were there a YEAR ago & I haven't forgotten about Gibbys & Kas! Everything we had was perfect delicious. We will definitely return next time we're in Montreal! Photos shared too!
Je m'attendais à un filet mignon (86$) très tendre (cuisson médium saignant) mais ça été décevant . La présentation du plat laisse à désirer.
Le prix de chaque plat est dispendieux mais ça inclut une belle'expérience du gybbys du vieux Montréal, le très bon service (Martin) & les serveurs étaient très gentils & professionnels .
Bonne soirée avec des amis sommes toutes mais pour 350$/2 personnes le qualité-prix est trop cher.
I pass by this restaurant during the day & never knew that this place has such a rich history within the community. Gibby's has that unmistakable Old Montreal charm -- stone walls, warm lighting, & a sense that dinner is meant to be an occasion. Our visit leaned into that spirit beautifully.
🍷 Wine - Tenuta Geretto 2021 (White Wine). The evening opened with a crisp, elegant pour of Tenuta Geretto 2021. It struck a lovely balance - bright acidity, subtle fruit, & just enough minerality to refresh the palate between bites. A clean, versatile white that paired surprisingly well with a hearty steak.
🥩 Main Course - Rib Eye Boneless Steak (Enough for Two). Gibby's is known for its classic steakhouse approach, & the rib eye delivered exactly that. Generously portioned - easily shared between two - it arrived perfectly cooked, with that signature Gibby's char on the outside & tender richness inside. The cut had great marbling, translating into deep, buttery flavor without feeling heavy. Sharing it made the experience feel indulgent without being overwhelming.
🍮 Dessert - Crème Brûlée. A classic ending done right. The sugar crust cracked with that satisfying tap, revealing a silky custard underneath. Not overly sweet, not overly dense - just a smooth, comforting finish to a rich meal.
🎯 Overall Impression
Gibby's remains a quintessential Old Montreal dining experience: generous portions, timeless dishes, & a setting that feels both historic & celebratory. The combination of a crisp Italian white, a shareable rib eye, & a well-executed crème brûlée made for a memorable evening that balanced indulgence with elegance.

My first time at Gibbys. Just wow! We went there before the Paul McCartney concert in November. The food & atmosphere were amazing. But the best part of our evening was the service. Our server Linda truly made it a memorable experience. Will definitely be back soon!
We had a wonderful time & truly enjoyed our experience at Gibbys. The food was excellent from start to finish, & Genevieve, our waitress, was fantastic very friendly, attentive, & made the evening even better! We highly recommend the Oyster Rockefeller, & you can't go wrong with the filet mignon or the beef Wellington.
Obsessed with their lunch special. The chicken was so flavorful & I wish I could eat their Monte Carlo potato every single day. Very professional service & quality food!
Un des endroits les plus emblématiques du Vieux-Port de Montréal. Dès qu'on entre chez Gibbys, on sent qu'on traverse le temps : l'endroit est logé dans un bâtiment d'époque avec ses murs en pierre & son ambiance chaleureuse de taverne élégante. On y retrouve une atmosphère feutrée, idéale pour un souper en couple, en famille ou même un moment spécial entre amis.
Nous avons choisi une petite salade croquante en entrée, joliment dressée avec bacon croustillant, sauce onctueuse & tomates cerises fraîches. Ensuite, un demi-poulet rôti, bien doré & juteux, servi avec des légumes grillés & pommes de terre rôties, accompagné d'une délicieuse sauce maison bien chaude. Le tout était parfaitement équilibré.
En bonus, une petite boule de sorbet rafraîchissante a été servie entre les plats. J'ai aussi goûté un bloody caesar, bien relevé & joliment présenté.
Le service était attentionné, discret, très professionnel. La salle, avec ses nappes blanches, ses chandelles & sa lumière tamisée, offrait une ambiance parfaite.
Une adresse mythique, à visiter au moins une fois si vous êtes de passage à Montréal - ou à redécouvrir si vous êtes d'ici.
🍽? Une belle cuisine, un cadre historique & une atmosphère authentique : Gibbys reste une valeur sûre du Vieux-Montréal.

We visited over the Christmas break as a group of six & had the most amazing time! The ambiance was incredible, so cozy & festive right before Christmas. Our waitress, Genevieve, was absolutely wonderful & took such great care of us. The food was outstanding, especially the escargots entrée, which was truly out of this world would recommend trying it. Genevieve also recommended fantastic wines that paired beautifully with our meal. Thank you so much for the warm hospitality & we will definitely be back!
One of the best experiences at a restaurant I have ever had. The staff were amazing & the food is one of a kind - there wasn't a single dish that disappointed.
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.
