Gibby's Steakhouse is a super cute restaurant that fits perfectly with the Old Montreal vibe. Service was welcoming & attentive throughout our meal.
My mom & I both ordered the fixed-price lunch menu. For appetizers, I had the beef tartare & she had the French onion soup, both were delicious, but portions were generous & we couldn't quite finish them since we wanted to save room for the rest of the meal. We were also served a lemon sorbet in between courses, which was a nice palate cleanser.
For entrées, I had the Diane steak & my mom had the Youville rack of lamb. Both were cooked perfectly to our tastes & were very flavorful. The only minor downside was that the vegetable portion felt quite small, just a few pieces of asparagus & a small pepper.
For dessert, we both had the chocolate cake of the day. It was a bit dry, but still enjoyable overall.
Overall, a very nice dining experience with great service & well-prepared food.
?Gibbys is hands-down the best steakhouse I have ever been to. The setting in Old Montreal is incredibly cool-the building is actually an old converted horse stable, which gives it an amazing, historic atmosphere.
?The food was spectacular, but what truly blew us away was the service. Our server was absolutely phenomenal & clearly a seasoned pro. Their attention to detail, ability to anticipate our every need, & incredible memory when it came to managing the table & clearing dishes was top-tier.
?The staff went above & beyond to make our night special. We had to move our table slightly over, & due to that tiny inconvenience, they completely surprised us by treating us to sorbet with brandy. It was such a class-act move.
?Gibbys is an absolute must-visit if you are in Montreal. I will definitely be back!
Hands down the best steak I have had ever! Our server Carolyn was amazing & answered all questions we had. This is our first time in Canada & she was super helpful translating as well! 10/10
Great experience at Gibbys. I highly recommend the Gibbys salad. Only thing was my steak was done a little rare for medium, which I did notify the server of & they brought it back to cook more. The lemon sorbet is a nice touch after the salads. It is pricey but you will leave stuffed. I got the filet minion.
The drinks were good.
Solid 5 star but taking one star off because the hostess asked our name & number & when we asked why, she couldnt answer.( it was tuesday lunch & was not busy)
Food,
Appetizers,
Complimentary bread was good.
Oyster rocker fella, was not great.
Beef tartare was great flavour & refreshing.
Escargot was great & dipping that complimentary bread was great combo.
French onion soup was great. - this was what i have got & it was the best french onion soup i have ever gotten!!!
Id recommend, tartare, french onion soup, & escargot.
Lemon sorbet was delightful!!!! I'd pay for it separately for sure. So refreshing & yummy!!
Main,
Burger was great.
Striploin with peppercorn sauce was subpar. It was not true medium rare (some parts were well done, some were medium rare, some parts were rare & the fat has not rendered… & all so very smoky'flavour' which i didn't love.. because it was more of a burnt taste to me)
Dessert was chocolate cake & it was good. Cake itself was ok but the chocolate cream layer in top was so rich, creamy & delicious.
Coffee also came with it & was good coffee.
All of us ordered lunch special. I loved everything but main entree. For the price you pay it is a great lunch spot!!
We have eaten there for the last 20 years. This time the steaks were a disaster. Even the replacement steaks were tough & stringy. We'll celebrate elsewhere next year.
