We have been going to Joe Beef & their sister restaurants, Vin papallion & Liverpool house for awhile.
We went yesterday, we ordered the burrata salad, cucumber salad, the sourdough bread as well as hanger steak & frites along with the market vegetables.
The salads were a big hit for us, so fresh, light & flavourful.
We always love the hanger steak & the French fries.
However, looking forward to dessert was a big disappointment…
We got the cherry smore disappointment, it came with a thin wafer, big thick marshmallow & a dry, solid chocolate cake at the bottom. The cake was tasteless, dry..
We also ordered their ice cream, which was very average, I expected so much more from their dessert.. as we've always come to known it to be their pièce de résistance…
Please bring back the previous desserts which were so delicious !
Had an amazing evening at Liverpool last night!
Food, service, & atmosphere were fantastic. From the oysters, prawns, clams as an appy. Shared the Burrata salad, & hanger steak for dinner . Hands down a great restaurant with great quality food.
We had a reso at Joe Beef but realized our location was closer to Liverpool. While many comments state that Joe Beef maybe a tourist type of place, which I can't comment on as we did not visit. Liverpool was not & highly recommended.
Our first few nights in Montreal we spent in Old Montreal, while great, Liverpool is by far a better restaurant then the ones we visited there.
having always eaten at joe beef, decided to give the sister restaurant a try. unfortunately, it will always be in its shadow.
service was subpar to say the least. took us an insane time to get the servers attention (15min). got ignored bluntly by the other waitstaff. we didt even know who our server was. when he finally came, he was distracted (eyes were ahead on another table) & he almost walked off halfway through. what a start.
appetizers were mid. foie gras dish was too creamy. lobster pasta was tasteless (nothing in comparison to the one i had a joe beef). it felt like i was having pasta coated in lobster flavored water. lobster was fresh though so that i have to give.
also ordered the arctic char & steak frites. fries were soggy, the only saving grace was the lettuce because that was the only thing that tasted like what it was meant to taste it.
do not recommend unless you like being cooped up in a loud, crowded, dark restaurant. also if you like being ignored, then this place is for you. if not, joe beef is right next door & for the same price point. you deserve better.

This place makes you feel like you're floating among the stars the moment you walk in. Casual yet beautifully upscale, with an atmosphere that somehow feels both relaxed & extraordinary.
Even the bar seats receive full restaurant service - not just service from behind the bar - & every single person on staff clearly knows their craft. Truly top-notch hospitality from start to finish.
The oysters were absolute perfection. The Arctic Char was exquisite, & the special mac & cheese with beef on the bone was completely otherworldly.
& then dessert arrived… maple profiteroles with vanilla-to-die-for ice cream & hot fudge sauce. Pure divine indulgence. Scrummy beyond words.
Another unforgettable dining experience at Liverpool House. 💯✨
Now this is what I'm talking about - impeccable service, incredibly good tasting food, & worth every penny. The lobster spaghetti tasted like the literal ocean & it made you want to keep digging in. The fish was mastefully cooked. Beef tartare was fantastic. Highly highly recommend going here for a fancy dinne
Great food & good service in a casual atmosphere. The beef tartare & the rib eye were the standout dishes for me but everything was great including the salad & the dessert.
As a stand alone restaurant, its not terrible. When compared with Joe beef, it comes lacking. Hence the overall 3 stars rating.
Food was good, service could have been much better. The background music was way too loud, especially with how busy the place was.
We had quite a large spread & were able to try many items on the menu. The food was good but not great. Disappointing having spent $480. The service was overall great except one of the waitresses being odd & pushy. Glad we went but would not plan to return.
I dined here on July 12, 2025 so my review is quite late. The staff may remember because when I told them the name of my reservation they made fun of me & were like'Gary's here guys, table for Garyyyyy. Gary???' I thought it was hilarious & so did my gf.
Anyways the atmosphere in the summer was amazing. Seated outside around the ferns on the back patio. My gf & I had an outstanding dining experience. Had a very nice bottle of quebecois wine. Enjoyed some corned beef croquettes, the pickle salad, some delicious zucchini, this chicken & clams dish & the steak frites. Finished off with a basque cheesecake & this really refreshing vanilla ice cream & strawberry sorbet dessert that really hit the spot on that extremely hot day. My gf was very thankful I ordered that ice cream in that moment, it came in pretty clutch.
Our server was awesome, very helpful, chill & attentive. He looked like the son of the hotel concierge in home alone 2 & I found that pretty funny. Yeah this place was amazing, we loved it.
