Gibby's

A (now former) friend of mine tried to tell me that''The Keg' is just as good as Gibby's, if not better, so I asked him exactly what kind of drugs he's been smoking! VERY embarassing & SAD, Owen! I've had the crab cakes at Gibby's & I've had the crab cakes at'The Keg,' & let me tell you, it's not even remotely close! & that's without even mentioning the STEAKS!
Pre-appatizers: Before they even take your order they bring you pickles, bread, butter, bacon bits, etc -- now THAT is service! Everything in this category is excellent, be careful not to fill up on it.
Steaks: These are the best steaks in town, believe me! I recommend the wellington, 8oz tenderloin, & ribeye. Tremendous! Friend of mine had the rack of lamb & said it was wonderful.
Appateizers: Really recommend the burrata appatizer (served with fresh peaches, nice!), beef carpaccio, clam chowder, & the crab cakes. They bring you a green salad or wedge salad to start as well -- IMO these can be ommitted; good but not special. Once upon a time gaspacho was offered as well which was the BOMB! Unfortunately it's no longer part of the starter options which is regrettable indeed.
Fish/Chicken/Other Mistakes: If I wanted fish I'd go to a fish-house, not a steak-house. I mean, really? . . . anyways, the wife had the salmon or halibut or some non-steak item & really enjoyed it . . . she'll come around!
Sides: Monte Carlo Potato, sauteed mushrooms, whatever you like. Quality.
Dessert: Cheesecake with blueberry reduction . . . simply incredible! Ice cream . . . very nice! Chocolate Cake . . . elite!
Drinks: Many excellent wine choices. Whiskey Sour was no joke.
Prices: Very pricey IMO, special occasion type of spot. But, you know this going in & you certainly get what you pay for!
Overall: NO GIBBY'S SLANDER WILL BE TOLERATED! Gibby's is an institution in Montreal, & is somehow not universally hailed as the best place in town! Would love to see the gaspachpo make a return, but hey . . . whatcanyoudo?

Safe to say for me, that during my brief time on this world, & the limited number of restaurants I have visited during that time, I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience here, it is legitimately the best restaurant experience I have ever had. Nothing was wrong with my experience, even as a solo visitor my experience was top notch. Everyone should ensure they visit this restaurant if they ever have a trip to Montreal! Thank you to the wonderful staff! Special thanks to my server, could not be forgotten, Genevieve! You're the best!

We had such an amazing time at Gibbys! Our waiter Adib M gave us the best experience. He explained everything on the menu & was very knowledgeable on the items. He told us the history of the building & was everything a good waiter should be ! 10/10 would recommend!!!

Celebrated my birthday at Gibbys while in Montreal. Started with table bread, steak tartare & escargot. All delicious. Beef Wellington was one of the best I've had. Great service & ambiance as well. Highly recommended in you are in Old Montreal!

Notre première visite était sous forme de date night & on nous a assis à côté de plusieurs groupes qui étaient bruyants. Nous comprenons cela mais peut être il aurait été judicieux de ne pas placer des tables de deux à côté des tables de 10. Cela dit, nous avions une réservation pour 20h30, & nous sentions que le service était essoufflé & laissait à désirer. Longue attente avant de prendre notre commande, verres d'eau qui restent vides. Jai commandé un Martini avec olives farcies au fromage bleu mais on m'a apporté le drink avec des olives avec noyaux sans explications ou excuses. Lorsque j'ai posé des questions à ce sujet, on m'a fait sentir comme si je devais accepter le drink bidon à 22$ sans dire un mot. Au prix payé pour le repas en général, je m'entendais à un service de plus attentionné & chaleureux. C'est comme si les tables avec les factures les plus élevées recevaient un meilleur service.Cela dit, le steak était très bon ainsi que la chaudrée de palourdes. Pour un repas similaire à meilleur prix & avec un meilleur service, je recommande The Keg.
