The food at Joe Beef was awesome especially the desserts :)

The Tuna Carpaccio was good. The presentation looked odd with the tuna on top & assortment of oranges & spices underneath. Overall, it had a good balance of saltiness & sweetness. The orange pieces in this dish were really sweet & delicious.

The Croquette was good. It was crispy on the outside & filled with meaty savouriness on the inside. The sliced pickle was good too.

The Spaghetti Homard-Lobster was good. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly al dente. The lobster was tender & sweet. Wish there was more of the lobster. The bacon bits were delicious. The sauce was unique. It was a rich, creamy brandy cream sauce. It was a flavour that grows with you the more you eat it.

The Filet Mignon & Veal tongue was good. The 30-day dry aged Filet Mignon was perfectly cooked medium rare. It was a tender, juicy & savoury Filet Mignon. Would definitely recommend the Filet Mignon. The Veal tongue was okay. Texture wise it was more rubbery in the front & middle area. The base of the tongue was more tender & soft. The sauce in this dish was okay.

The Marjolaine which is their 24 layer cake was awesome. Would definitely recommend if you craving a good multi-layered chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla & caramel cake :)

The Paris-Brest à l'érable which is their Choux pastry with Maple Cream was awesome. The Choux pastry was light & fluffy. The Maple Cream was heavenly with an amazing maple syrup flavour that was not too sweet.

The Vanilla Ice Cream was awesome. It went well the 24 layer cake.

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.

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.
