La cuisine n'est pas ce à quoi je m'attendais, rien d'exceptionnel, grosse déception pour les pâtes au homard, qui manquaient cruellement de goût, absolument pas exceptionnel... le tartare de thon était okay sans plus. Le menu est très restreint, il n'y a pas beaucoup de choix. La seule raison pour laquelle je donne 4 étoiles c'est pour le service, qui lui était irréprochable du début à la fin! Sinon si ce n'est que pour la cuisine je n'aurais pas donné plus que 2 étoiles.View more

Joe Beef was truly amazing & well worth the money! The quality & portion sizes were spot on! For three people, we got 3 drinks, 2 apps, 3 mains, & 2 desserts. The final bill before tip was just over $100/person. Extremely justifiable for the quality & taste.View more

Beautiful restaurant with a very nice interior design, atmosphere, & overall layout. The food was good, some dishes like the butternut squash soup & salted caramel dessert were fantastic while others like the steak & mushrooms pictured below were just okay. Overall a very nice restaurant, for the price I would hoped for a bit more; however this style of food isn't my favourite so take that into consideration.View more

Dining at Joe Beef was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by a warm, lively atmosphere that set the tone for the evening. The service was exceptional-attentive, knowledgeable, & friendly, making us feel right at home despite it being a busy night.

The menu is a perfect blend of creativity & classic comfort, with every dish bursting with bold flavors. We started with a selection of appetizers, & each one was a standout. The foie gras was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, & the oysters were fresh & briny-an excellent start to what would be an amazing meal.

For the main course, I had the steak frites, which was cooked to perfection-tender, juicy, & full of flavor. The sides were equally impressive, with the roasted vegetables being a particular highlight. Everything was beautifully presented, & the portions were generous, making each bite more enjoyable than the last.

The wine list is extensive, & the sommelier's recommendation perfectly paired with our meal, elevating the whole experience.

Joe Beef is more than just a meal; it's an experience. The vibrant atmosphere, exceptional service, & unforgettable dishes make it a must-visit for anyone in Montreal. It's clear that the chefs & staff take immense pride in what they do, & that care translates into every dish served. Highly recommend!View more

Our dinner at Joe Beef was the highlight of our four-night trip to Montreal (& we thoroughly enjoyed all our other meals, too!). This iconic restaurant more than lives up to its reputation, & we wanted to share our wonderful experience.

The food was superb, & the service was exceptional. The entire staff struck the perfect balance-organic, approachable, & friendly, yet effortlessly delivering flawless, attentive service. Their creativity, authenticity, & genuinely local vibe added a unique charm to the evening, making it feel elevated & down-to-earth.

While Joe Beef isn't a budget-friendly option, every dollar spent felt worth it. The quality, atmosphere, & attention to detail made for an unforgettable experience. We ordered what I believe was their signature steak with mushrooms (the name escapes me), a deliciously fresh salad, & a classic shrimp cocktail-all perfectly prepared & full of flavor.

We can't recommend Joe Beef highly enough if you're visiting Montreal. It's a true culinary gem & an experience you'll remember long after your trip!View more

I've been wanting to go to Joe Beef for 15+ years, since I first saw it on the travel channel or food network. That's the only reason I've given it a 4/5... because it couldn't possibly live up to the anticipation.

But it was great, & I definitely recommend checking it out. It's a true Montreal legend. The atmosphere & staff were superb. The food was good. Not the out of this world extravaganza I was expecting but absolutely delicious. We had the tuna tartare & the strip with potatoes & bone marrow. At $130 for the steak alone... it's a pricey meal. & worth it. The wine was excellent & the service was fantastic.View more

Really solid food, did not disappoint. But not spectacular. The service & vibe was great, would definitely go back for the vibes. Water was also filled & the staff were warm & efficient.

The foie terrine was solid. Duck was solid as well, but have had better else where. My favourite was probably the caramel pudding, it managed to be not too sweet.

Their lobster pasta is what they're known for & I found it a bit disappointing. The pasta was a bit bitter from the lobster. As well, the flavours did not come together that well, I could taste the lobster, butter & other ingredients separately but didn't come together all that well. It's like a bunch of fancy ingredients that didn't necessarily form one cohesive dish. Out of all the dishes the lobster pasta is the only one I wouldn't recommend.View more
