I had been looking forward to trying Joe Beef for years, & the experience far surpassed my expectations. Every bite of food, every sip of drink was fantastic. The staff are extremely knowledgeable & make you feel like you're dining with friends. Worth every penny. Get yourself in there!

Joe Beef is a Montreal institution located in the Little Burgundy neighborhood near the Lachine Canal. Atmosphere is lively & packed & dishes are decadent & indulgent. Would highly recommend seafood & steak dishes including: oysters, lobster spaghetti, burgundy escargot, steak & ice cream profiteroles. Reservations are strongly recommended. Would budget approximately $250 for party of two.

Came to Joe Beef earlier this year & our experience was phenomenal. From the service to the ambiance & the food, everything was amazing. Our favourite was the famous lobster spaghetti & the marjolaine. Definitely a must try!

I so wanted to give 5 star to this restaurant but decided to give 4. The reason being Desserts. Everything that we ordered was so delicious except the dessert that upset me a little bit. As after having such amazing Appetizers & Mains your expectations with desserts are way too high as it's the last course that you'll be experiencing at the restaurant. We ordered Fois Gras, Halibut & Steak & everything so just amazing. Layered cake - Marjolaine was also 10/10 but the Raspberry Tart was disappointing. Apart from the food, Gabriel was outstanding & showcased top notch hospitality.

Oh wow. One of my favorite restaurants in the world. I make sure to fly to Montreal at least once a year to eat here. I would say I've been here around 8/9 times. Always a transcendent experience, Customer service exquisite, & the atmosphere warms you up in a cold Canadian night. Pro tip. My best experiences have always been solo at bar. The 5 star service moves up to a 6 here.

Incredible service, exception food. Love the look & feel of this restaurant. They were able to modify almost every dish for a gluten allergy. Absolutely recommend coming here!
