Located in Montreal's west end, Lucille's Oyster Dive has been serving up oysters and seafood classics since 2009.
The goal is to provide patrons with the best selection of both east and west coast oysters. According to seasonal availability, the oyster selection changes daily. While the classics include lobster rolls and fish & chips, the Lucille's kitchen changes it up with seafood dishes that keep our patrons coming back.
Whether you're looking for a quick bite at the bar, or an evening with friends, the staff has a reputation of making it all seem like home.
While the menu changes seasonally, the Lucille's 1855 Butcher's Cut are a year round staple. The in-house, dry aged and charcoal grilled steaks have made this Dive a destination for beef enthusiasts.

Mostly venting on this review, but just had a very disappointing experience. We are regulars, we come at least a few times every month (so we usually like, & recommended it here)
We called to reserve, they had nothing until later, but told us the patio was almost empty, & we could try there. We asked to save a table for us as we would be there within 20 mins, but they told us they never reserve the patio. OK, fair I guess.
So we jumped in a Uber to be there ASAP, we go there in maybe 15 min, most tables we taken, but one was free (so we thought we made it!). We asked the hostess for that table...only to be told that the last table on the patio was RESERVED...
Service & atmosphere are fine. However the food continues to be disappointing. I used to love this place but to be honest it has gone downhill. My steak was very good, but the calamari entree was horrible (same for the previous time I was there). The pieces were few & tiny & contained little if any squid. The Caesar Salad was not a real Caesar Salad, & whatever it was I did not enjoy it at all. Three stars because of the good service & steak, but I won't be going back.
Had such a great experience here today! The sourdough burrata was absolutely delicious, & the steak frites were honestly some of the best I've had. Everything was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully prepared.
A special shoutout to our waiter, Samuel, who was so friendly, attentive, & made the experience even better. Great food, great service, & definitely a place I'd come back to!

Food. Overall good, sadly the seafood pasta was quite poor as well as the calamari appetizer. It's sad that a seafood & fish place would have these two dishes poor. Calamari's was miniature little pieces that were greasy, overly breaded & barely any calamari's. The portion was horrible as well. Tons of other places for the price are not better, but 110% superior. The seafood pasta was also a massive let down & had very limited seafood in the pasta & the portion was also smallish for the price.
Now, the ribs were fantastic but the French fries were a let down. First, very little of them, secondly, they place them under the ribs so you're forced to have rib sauce all over them which we all did not prefer, plus the crispness was no longer as they were saturated with bbq sauce. Should be on the side or separate dish & a larger portion as fries are super low cost.
The other rock star was the lobster rolls. Probably one of the better places to have these in the city & highly recommended. Pricing & portion was on par with the market.
The dessert was yummy & terribly impressive.
Would I go back again. Yes. But I would never eat the above mentioned dishes we didn't enjoy
I don't normally post a review after one dinner. Well, my husband & I have eaten at Lucille's on Monkland in NDG (Montreal) 4 times over the span of a few weeks, &'all 4' of our experiences were 5-star worthy when it comes to food, service & atmosphere.
Yesterday, my husband had a decadent Watermelon Marguerita, fresh crisp salad, Steak-frites (medium-rare as requested & so tender), & chocolate mousse. He raved.
I had a Tanqueray Martini, a dozen Premium Oysters, & Asian-Style Salmon Tartare with Plantain Chips. Delicious.
Everything we've ever eaten there has been equally superb. They have an extensive menu & signature cocktail list (but you can order other cocktails & wine). They cater to seafood & meat lovers alike--appetizing presentation & attention to detail, fresh elevated dishes. It's a great spot for date-night & for groups, whether dining inside or on their beautiful terrasse.
Staff is always welcoming & super friendly. Special thanks to Nihed for taking such good care of us yesterday (& on our previous visit), & Alysha for looking in on us. Josef from a previous visit was also great. Kudos to the magicians in the kitchen & the mixologist. &, the atmosphere, as usual, was lively & fun.
Highly recommended. My husband I can't wait to go back.
Yo fam, I'm telling you straight up, if you aren't pulling up to Lucille's, you are playing yourself & eating mid. This place is undefeated, absolute royalty, & takes zero prisoners. If you want some serious shucking & sucking of those slippery little suckers, they got it completely locked down. We're talking supreme steak, elite tartare, crispy frites, & a wine list that hits ooh-la-la status every single time. The ambiance is high-energy, the vibe is unmatched, & the prices are too reasonable for this level of greatness.So look, if you don't want to have a really good time & enjoy some of the most fantastic food of your life, then stay home & keep slacking. This spot is for the real ones who know what's up. You dun know, Lucille's is absolute elite status, period.
Food was amazing but it seemed like our server forgot about us once we got our main course. As we were walking out one of the servers made a sarcastic comment about how me & my friends dressed & we heard the staff laugh.
