Foie gras double down was nothing short of incredible. Enjoyed all other dishes, too. The service was excellent, & so it was the atmosphere. I am really looking forward to being back.

Maybe it was because we aren't used to French food, but the rabbit & the veal dishes were almost an edible. The halibut I had personally was quite good though a very small serving for the price. The drinks were great! The service was excellent! & it was a quirky, comfortable atmosphere & not too terribly loud in a small space.

We tried a good portion of the appetizers & were not disappointed once. The beef tartare, shrimp cocktail, & oysters were spectacular. My partner loved the foie gras but I thought that the lobster salad was the best. Best service I've had. Can't recommend enough.

Se faire appeller de « rebeu » (!!!) par son serveur (masculin) durant son souper n'était pas l'idée que j'avais de ma soirée chez Joe Beef... Que l'on paie 300$+ ou 30$, ce terme ne devrait pas être utilisé envers une cliente.

Cela dit, la qualité des ingrédients & des plats était, en général, excellente. La bouteille de vin n'avait rien de spécial, & le service, en général, était adéquat. Mais en tant qu'ancienne habitante de Griffintown, j'avais très hâte de finalement aller à Joe Beef pour la première fois, mais le comportement de serveur a malheureusement ruiné cette expérience.

Not a foodie but was absolutely worth the stop while we were in Montreal - may have been one of the most intentional, flavorsome meals in my life. Staff was kind & attentive. atmosphere was superb. Price worthwhile Would visit again.
