Joe Beef est largement reconnu comme un pilier de la scène gastronomique montréalaise, offrant une atmosphère vivante et chaleureuse que beaucoup décrivent comme une expérience inoubliable. Bien que les avis sur le rapport qualité-prix et la taille des portions varient, la plupart des clients louent la grande qualité des ingrédients, notamment les célèbres spaghettis au homard, les plats de canard et les huîtres fraîches. Le service est fréquemment souligné comme étant exceptionnel, avec un personnel attentif et compétent qui guide souvent les convives dans leurs choix de plats et de vins, bien que quelques visiteurs aient noté des incoistances dans la cadence du service durant les périodes d'affluence. Malgré sa popularité et son cadre animé parfois un peu étroit, le restaurant demeure une recommandation de premier plan pour ceux qui recherchent une cuisine généreuse et décadente d'inspiration française dans un décor authentique.
The best culinary experience I had in Montreal during the last 3 years. Food was fresh, creative, flavorful. Service was excellent, our server Felix was very attentive, helpful, & friendly.
The food took almost two hours to arrive, & even getting the bill took quite a while. The restaurant was very busy & spacious, which may have contributed to the delays. Our server was extremely kind & attentive. Although the food itself was not particularly delicious, she made an effort to improve our experience by giving each of us a complimentary dessert & replacing our original appetizer without charging us.
Overall, we had a fun time & enjoyed the good vibes, but considering the prices, the quality & experience did not fully match what we paid for.
I have wanted to eat at Joe Beef for many years. It was wonderful, though we ate too much. Very rich plates! The fries were the best I have ever eaten, & the maple drenched, patachoux creme filled dessert was insane. Our server, Alexandre, was friendly, attentive & very professional. Looking forward to our next visit.

A Montreal INSTITUTION! Absolutely phenomenal. Top tier service - attentive, professional, & personable. The food is divine, especially their iconic lobster spaghetti - & I'm not even a big lobster guy.
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.
The food here was delicious! We tried the Lobster Spaghetti, beef tenderloins, & a side of carrots. The lobster spaghetti was very flavorful & well coated with sauce. The beef tenderloin was perfectly cooked & served on top of ham & bread with an egg on top, & the carrots were very flavorful & paired well with the mains. Definitely recommend this restaurant, & we made a reservation since the tables book up very quickly! We also tried mocktails & a marjolaine 24-layer cake for dessert. The cake was delicious & not too sweet, with alternating layers of chocolate, cake, caramel, & cream. Our servers were very attentive, & we loved eating dinner here!
Went to Joe Beef for a dinner for 4 on 04/04/2026.
Food: the lobster pasta was a standout, as was the duck. The fries are a must! The tartare & shrimp cocktail were excellent appetizers. The beef faded into the background to be honest!
Service: we loved the sommelier! He had a great white wine suggestion, & was very thoughtful in suggesting a rose instead of a red (we had 2 red wine haters on the table!). Without him, we wouldn't have ordered a second bottle - a real testament to his charm & skill! He was very attentive - I noticed something in my glass (perhaps some sediment from my wine?) & he immediately replaced it, without even being asked - he was clearly paying attention to the table! A tablemate found her drink too strong & the sommelier/waiter took finding her a delicious alternative very seriously (without charging for the first drink!).
Plates & cutlery were changed between courses, which was so appreciated. Overall, the service added to the experience - we wanted to order more food & drink because we felt so welcomed!
Atmosphere: busy, warm, & comfortable.
Overall, it's worth a stop in Montreal. The warm, attentive service makes you feel welcomed & happy, the food is just wonderful. You get the bill & truly feel that it was money well spent - a rare experience these days!
Food was great. We had the smoked salmon & croquettes to start, the croquettes especially were delicious. For mains we got the lobster spaghetti & filet de boeuf. The spaghetti was the best thing I ate my entire stay in montreal, delicious! Steak was pretty good too, not the best I've ever had but pretty good for not being a dedicated steak restaurant. We did get the layered cake for dessert, I was not a huge fan (very sweet & a bit dry) but my companion quite enjoyed it.
Service on the other hand was not impressive, he was quite condescending & not at all attentive, but maybe he was just having a bad day. Our food did come out quickly & they brought the bill right away.
This restaurant has been on my bucket list for a long time, & I'm truly happy that I finally got to experience it for the first time. The hype & expectations were incredibly high going in, but somehow it still managed to exceed them.
From the moment we arrived, the service was absolutely top-notch. Our server was professional, attentive, & extremely knowledgeable-not only about the menu, but also about the wine pairings, which really elevated the whole dining experience.
We started with the beef tendon salad, & it was unbelievably good. It was the perfect appetizer to begin the meal-flavorful, well-balanced, & something quite memorable.
For the mains, we had the duck with foie gras, skirt steak, dry-aged rib eye steak, fries, & skate fish. Honestly, everything we ordered was outstanding. Each dish was cooked beautifully & packed with flavor, making it clear why this place has such a strong reputation.
I was initially a little intimidated by the price, but in the end it came to just a little over $100 per person for four of us, & the amount of food was more than enough. Considering the quality, portions, & overall experience, it felt absolutely worth it.
Without a doubt, this is a place I would return to.
Food was amazing, the duck & the fries are top notch. It was very busy for 6pm on a Wednesday night & sat at the bar which was full & a but tight. The servers were very attentive & were always there if you needed anything. The couple next to me ordered the halibut & it looked really good, will definitely try it next time.
Update
Went back a second time & tried the scallops, beef tartare, arctic char & duck (peppercorn sause this time). The scallops were really fresh & had a really clean taste. The beef tartare had lots of flavour but the arctic char was the stand out dish. It was amazing! Highly recommend it
