Quel magnifique moment passé à cette table. Tout était absolument parfait, du début à la fin.

J'ai été particulièrement charmé par le souci du détail, comme ce verre à vin élégamment gravé avec une fleur de lys. Les plats étaient non seulement présentés avec beaucoup de soin, mais chaque bouchée révélait une grande finesse.

Le service était impeccable & l'atmosphère tout à fait charmante. Une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de bonne cuisine à Montréal. J'ai déjà hâte de revenir pour découvrir la suite du menu.

Établissement raciste & discriminatoire. Au sein du même groupe assis dehors lors des matchs de la coupe du monde, une personne est allée au toilette alors que l'autre, on lui a refusé l'accès. Je vous laisse deviner laquelle est blonde aux yeux bleus, qui est une touriste & c'est sa première fois à Montréal. Lorsque je souligne cette injustice à la personne en charge, elle se défend en me disant que la jeune demoiselle est une régulière & la connaît personnellement. Which is bullshit, elle est de passage & fait partie de notre groupe d'amis. Sachant que nous étions assis tous sur la terrasse du resto, mais qu'il ne donnait pas de service à l'extérieur à ce moment-là. On nous a pris en photo par contre pour leur réseaux, on a demandé au photographe, pcq il a passé beaucoup de temps à nous filmer & nous demander s'il pouvait prendre certains angles très proches & dans notre bulle. Mes deux amies n'ont pas réagi, mais il est primordial pour moi de souligner un tel comportement surtout que ce resto était sur ma liste personnellement. Même chose que j'ai dit à la personne responsable: shame on you!!

Nourriture incroyablement bonne. Service courtois. Restaurant petit mais chaleureux. Prix élevé mais ça vaut la peine. Réservation obligatoire! Mention dans le guide Michelin.

Je commande une assiette de flétan à 75$. On me demande si je veux accompagner le flétan avec des légumes ce qui est très normal pour un assiette de 75 dollars & le serveur me dit qu'il y aura des frais de 20 $ de plus pour les légumes. À ce moment j'ai changé de menus & j'ai pris des saucisses & dans ces mêmes saucisses il y avait des carottes non cuites mets la sauce en accompagnement était bonne. Arrivée chez moi j'ai commencé à mal filé & j'ai été malade toute la nuit. Joe beef ou Gros jambon!

We can understand the hype. Service was friendly & the food was over the top in the best way. The oysters, lettuces with apple dressing, & lobster pasta were real highlights!

An unforgettable evening at Joe Beef!

We had dinner at Joe Beef on July 3, & it absolutely lived up to its legendary reputation. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed into an atmosphere that was warm, eclectic, lively, & full of personality. The restaurant has a charm that's impossible to fake-it's energetic without feeling rushed & makes you feel like you're part of something special.

A huge thank you to Simon, our server, who made the evening exceptional. He struck the perfect balance between professionalism & fun, making us feel genuinely welcome while expertly guiding us through the menu. His wine recommendations paired beautifully with our meal, & his enthusiasm for the food & the restaurant was remarkable.

Every dish was outstanding, but the escargot was absolutely phenomenal-rich, flavorful, & perfectly prepared. The tomato salad was surprisingly one of the highlights of the evening, showcasing incredibly fresh ingredients with simple, flawless execution.

Simon also steered us toward fantastic wine selections that complemented every course, & he saved room for dessert with recommendations that were the perfect ending to an already incredible meal. Every bite was memorable.

Joe Beef isn't just a restaurant-it's an experience. Outstanding food, incredible hospitality, a unique atmosphere, & service that goes above & beyond. Simon helped make our visit one we'll be talking about for a long time.

I thought it was a possibility that Joe Beef could be an overhyped'Montreal Institution'... I was very pleased that Joe Beef is not overhyped at all & deserves all of their accolades!
From the service to the atmosphere & of course to the food... everything was excellent. We were greeted by an extremely friendly & welcoming hostess. We were served by two wonderful servers, Leo & Mixi (i think, sp?). We received attentive service with personality & great recommendations. We truly felt welcomed & treated so well! The wine suggestion was incredible. & all of the food was top tier! I will excitedly recommend Joe Beef to anyone going to Montreal!
Cavier, escargot, rabbit & pork sausage, & crispy fowl! 2 desserts because we were celebrating & having a great time.

Bourdain chasing on our group's Quebec trip. Had high hopes but ended up a bit underwhelmed. Our group had oysters, steak tartare, escargot, lobster spaghetti, & Guinea hen bouillabaisse.

Everything other than the lobster spaghetti was perfect. Steak tartare perfectly seasoned, escargot was herby & garlicky, & the bird was amazing. I'm personally not a fan of cream sauces but this one blew me away, not to mention the mushroom medley around it was peak as well. However, the lobster spaghetti was underseasoned, almost as if they forgot to salt the pasta water? I could definitely taste the powdered lobster shell in the sauce, but the lack of salt made everything a bit muted, which is unfortunate considering the price.

The bread was standard, butter was above average. Mashed potatoes also good. The layer cake was also good, tasted like chocolate hazelnut cake, but the ganache layer made it special (who doesn't like ganache?)

Not sure if I'll be back.
