A great night all around at Joe Beef! Our server, Maeve, was insanely busy but kept everything moving, everyone looked after & had time to explain dishes & make great suggestions. Four of us shared several appetizers, 2 mains & 2 desserts & it was perfect. Escargot & raw tuna - perfection!

We had an AMAZING meal here. The lobster spaghetti & their'meatloaf' are dishes we will talk about for a long time. Our server Flo was the most charming server we've probably ever had. He was knowledgeable, attentive & just an absolute freaking delight. The ambiance was incredible & this meal overall is something that will stick with us for a long, long time.

Lives up to the hype! Came here for dinner on August 14th to celebrate a friend's birthday & was pleasantly surprised by how well balanced all the dishes were. I was hesitant on the lobster spaghetti but it ended up being my favorite!

What actually blew me away was the amazing service we were provided by our server. He was so friendly, chatted with us even though it was a busy night & really helped us navigate the menu to choose dishes we would like. 10/10 would recommend for celebrating an occasion!

What an amazing meal! Our group ended up running pretty late to our reservation, but the staff was incredibly accommodating & never made us feel rushed, even though it was getting close to the end of the night. We asked our server to choose some of their favorite dishes for us, & they absolutely nailed it-everything was outstanding. Some of the biggest standouts were the white fish &, of course, the beef. We also loved the escargot & the bone marrow, & the bread served with the bone marrow was incredible. It was a memorable dining experience from start to finish, & we would definitely recommend it.

Had to try the iconic Joe Beef while in Montreal. Made resos well ahead to make sure we got the time slot desired. We were shown to our table. The dining area is sneaky large as there are lots of tables in various areas around the restaurant & also a bar counter area. The tables are very close together so it feels tight & gets very noisy as the restaurant is full.

Our server, Julien, did a great job in explaining the menu & offered up good choices in wine pairings for the food. We chose the beef tartare with bone marrow toast, smoked meat terrine, duck breast with duck sausage, & the halibut (fish of the day), & a side of asparagus. For dessert we shared the marjolaine cake. All the dishes were nicely plated & very tasty.

Overall the food & service was good
The only reason why i gave 3 stars because when i reserve a table it mention bar or table so i do reserve for a table.
When i arrive they set me to the bar & then i need to ask the waiter to change for a table.
The manager told me all the table are take & i mention to him i reserve to be sitted for a table not at the bar.
Then he gave me an option stay at the bar or go on the terasse(20th may night time was very cold outside) i told him no we have no jacket on & its cold.
I have to argue with them for getting a table after 20 minute.
All the appetizer was very good.
But the main dishes are very salty
I will go back for sure but i hope i wont get that experience again.

Foie gras double down was nothing short of incredible. Enjoyed all other dishes, too. The service was excellent, & so it was the atmosphere. I am really looking forward to being back.

Maybe it was because we aren't used to French food, but the rabbit & the veal dishes were almost an edible. The halibut I had personally was quite good though a very small serving for the price. The drinks were great! The service was excellent! & it was a quirky, comfortable atmosphere & not too terribly loud in a small space.

One of us got stomach pains & needed to throw up after eating the seafood platter. He skipped the rest of the dinner in the washroom.

The busgirl dropped the container full of sauce over my son's shoulder but continued to serve the dishes without taking any action or apologize.

Very disappointed with the experience for the price.

Food was good. Very small portions so they discourage sharing dishes. Second time here & I don't think I will go back again. Lots of other places to try for this amount of money. Not sure I can recommend you to come here unless you have too much money to burn.
