Is Joe Beef now just a tourist trap? Is the restaurant'past its prime'. Honestly I do not care.

Joe Beef isn't just a dining experience, it's an exercise exploring the joy of decadence. The restaurant poses a simple existential question: If you're going to do something, why not do it with exuberance & maximalism? Worry about consequences later.

It's decadent, insane & unforgettable. A special meal at an institution of excess.

Highlights were: the foie gras terrine, the lamb to share, & the seafood platter.

One the best restaurant experience of my life, everything was perfect. Joe beef is a must! The oysters were excellent & the scallop was delicious. The lobster pasta was amazing & the sauce was perfect like a rich bisque sauce very creamy. Cod cheeks were also great & very flavourful. The dessert was an incredible end to the meal the Marjolaine was outstanding & the pistachio eclair was one the best desserts I have ever had if you love pistachio it's gonna blow your mind. Our waiter was very nice, very professional & knowledgeable. The restaurant is very homely & warm, beautiful decor very kitsch. I would recommend Joe beef to anyone who wants to experience dining at its finest & also they have amazing seafood options, don't let the name fool you

The Legendary Joe Beef. We had the Foie Gras double down, the rabbit, & the veal. This is basically the Rolls Royce of restaurants, you are paying for the name. Food was unlike anything I've ever had & was extremely flavourful, but Canadian shrinkflation means you pay a lot for a little, so I left hungry. Great experience though between the ambience & the staff, it was unforgettable.

This was our first time in Montréal & we had a fabulous time. This was the best meal of our trip by far & probably one of if not the best meal we have ever had. The food was incredible, the côte de boeuf was to die for & our waiter was so kind & has the best wine pairing suggestions. The atmosphere was so lovely & we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Thank you Joe beef! We will definitely be going back.
