This place helped me realise what the hype about French cuisine is all about! The staff were helpful, knowledgeable, & kind with everything from explaining the menu to helping with wine pairings. Incredible experience.
Matt
Amazing service - we made a mistake when making our reservation & placed a reservation for the wrong day, totally our fault however they still managed to squeeze us in at the bar.
The service was exceptional, very friendly & attentive. Excellent work translating lions mane mushrooms from french as well, very impressive. We had the hanger steak for 2 which was delicious.
I would highly recommend this restaurant if you're in Montreal.

It got real silly but that's what was amazing about Joe Beef. The atmosphere in there feels like you're at home. We were so well taken care of. The food was incredible. We had a great time with great company & the team made it that much better.

A favourite spot that we always visit when we go to Montreal. The food is always creative & succulent . The lobster pasta is a little overhyped but go for the specials & you can never go wrong with the steak, duck or escargots. Service was super friendly & seamless.
Alex
WOW I loved Joe Beef so much we had an amazing experience with our server Alex who was so knowledgeable about everything & SO kind to us as we were celebrating our anniversary.
The hanger steak for two was literally the perfect amount of food, the sauces accompanying the meat were to die for, mashed potatoes perfect, I really enjoyed the creamed spinach as well.
The chocolate mousse was to die for, it was a slightly firm mousse dome with I think a chocolate ganache drizzle on top & they served it with this delicious reduction that was garnished with a tiny bit of olive oil & wow - just amazing.
Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic meal! The food was fantastic but Thalia at the bar wax the star! She made our evening. The foie gras is not yo be missed. Just go!

My wife & I recently had the pleasure of dining here &, having lived in Montreal for a few years now, only wish we made our way over much, much sooner.
The food, the wine list, & the service were exceptional, the atmosphere loose & friendly. Their storied reputation is well deserved. &, the prices are more than reasonable given the quality, sourcing & overall attention to detail.
A special thank you & note to Flo, who made the evening fun & so enjoyable.
See you soon.

As soon as I knew I would be visiting Montreal, i grabbed a spot on the wait list in case a reservation opened up. I was so happy when the day before our trip, a spot opened up. We really enjoyed the tuna appetizer. We also had the Escargot which were good, but not as good as some I have had. For entrees we tried the Lobster Spaghetti which is a dish they are known for, & the Hanger steak. The Hanger Steak was cooked perfectly, tender & the sauce was excellent. I am from a Seafood town & felt the lobster was only okay & the Spaghetti itself very basic, not our favorite dish. All in all it is definitley worth a try.

My number one recommendation for Joe Beef is to come hungry!!! They don't skimp on the portion sizes & you will want to try as much as you can! We enjoyed the escargot, croquettes, foie gras, hanger steak, cod, & market vegetables. It was the perfect end to a great trip. Can't wait to come back!
Victor
This was the one restaurant I really wanted to go to with my wife & honestly it was great. We got seated on the heated patio away from the noisy interior. We ordered escargot, fois gras, lobster spaghetti, & the on special rabbit. All the food was excellent with special kudos to the fois gras & spaghetti. Service was warm & attentive. Just be sure that you go in with realistic expectations on price. We had 3 cocktails on top & our bill was $300+, which we were completely knew about before booking. If you want a special night out, go for it.

Hands down the best restaurant I have ever went to, amazing atmosphere, super kind staff, & DELICIOUS food. Should have a michelin star!
Helen
Incredible dining experience- an absolute must! Very attentive staff , everything timed perfectly.
The food is thoughtfully prepared & served. The spaghetti with lobster is not to be missed. The croquettes were good but not memorable. The peas with goat cheese & mint delightful the bone marrow flan is incredible. The poultry boulebaisse was a hit but very marjoram heavy. It was truly a dining event!
