Superbe soirée au Maggie Oakes! Le cocktail de crevettes, le steak vieilli & les desserts étaient tous délicieux! Un grand merci à Émeric pour son incroyable service :)
Dining at this restaurant is always a pleasure. I selected this place to introduce my friends to one of Montreal's hidden gems, & once again, it exceeded all expectations. Despite the heavy rain outside, the staff remained kind, attentive, & welcoming throughout our visit.
We started our evening with cocktails & wine in the central lounge, which offered a cozy, intimate setting. Although we arrived without a reservation, one of the managers accommodated us, providing a table in a particularly special spot near the vertical garden. The seating was comfortable, & the lighting was just right, enhancing the overall ambiance.
Our waitress was friendly & attentive from the moment we sat down. The restaurant's atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between modern & elegant, making it suitable for any occasion. The music played at a perfect volume, allowing for easy conversation.
As always, the food was outstanding. Every dish was crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients, & the variety of desserts was the perfect conclusion to our meal. The service was impeccable, with the staff going above & beyond to ensure we had an exceptional experience.
I will definitely be returning & highly recommend the Steak Bavette, Salmon Tartare, the tropical cocktail, & of course, the desserts.

Christmas dinner with the team.
Once again, we enjoyed a wonderful business dinner at a restaurant we truly love. From the moment we arrived, the experience was exceptional. The warm, welcoming atmosphere combined with the modern décor immediately set the tone for a memorable evening.
Being asked where we preferred to sit made us feel genuinely valued-having that choice is all about comfort. Continuing our now-established tradition during business dinners, we were welcomed with glasses of sparkling wine upon arrival.
We began with a selection of the house specialty cocktails, the perfect way to open our appetites. Sacha, the restaurant director, was, as always, friendly, attentive, & meticulous, ensuring that every detail contributed to an outstanding experience.
For starters, we shared popcorn shrimp, salmon tartare, chicken Caesar salad, & grilled tuna tataki-each dish was delicious & beautifully presented. For the main courses, we chose the grilled salmon, steak baguette, & cod. Every plate was flawlessly presented, with each dish cooked to perfection.
To finish, we enjoyed a perfectly curated dessert selection, offering both variety & indulgence-the ideal way to close the evening.
The service was impeccable throughout the night, consistently attentive & always ready to assist, whether refilling water or suggesting another drink.
Highly recommended for a special dinner-100% satisfaction guaranteed!

Thank you Pascal & the rest of the team for such a wonderful birthday dinner. The food was delicious, the cocktails we scrumptious & Pascal was phenomenal! We felt really special & we definitely will come back!
Truly enjoyed Maggie Oakes , so much so that we started our day with brunch & decided to go back for a pre-dinner round of cocktails & appetizers.
Made reservations for their Sunday brunch long in advance as it does get busy . Service was good , slightly slow but normal for a crowded Sunday .
We ordered mimosas & hearty brunch items from the menu . Quinoa with beets & feta crumble on top & a side of grilled salmon . Delicious . Classic two eggs with bacon & breakfast potatoes was solid & the smoked salmon with eggs Benedict with hollandaise in the side are great .
We returned in the evening for a pre dinner round of cocktails & an appetizer. Drinks are strong & well prepared . Sangria is a stand out . Goat cheese nougat with crusted pistachios is a perfect spread with bread , plus it is gluten free . Ideal to start the evening off.
Definitely a great place to enjoy drinks , brunch & time with friends
Service impeccable de Rosemonde & Vincent☺?. Nous étions 4 personnes & le plateau de fruits de mer était parfait à partager en entrée. Petit coup de coeur pour la Mayo au tobiko & le cocktail de crevettes. Nous aimons beaucoup le porterhouse lors de nos visites chez Maggie Oakes avec la sauce beurre aux herbes!
Superbe expérience, personnel très accueillant, bienveillant & tout sourire, c'est vraiment très agréable.
J'ai pris un cocktail'Passionnément Spritz' : excellent !
La cuisine est un délice, jamais je n'ai mangé de viande aussi tendre & les petits légumes croquants à souhait !!
Je recommande chaleureusement.
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at this restaurant, a truly chic & luxurious setting. The staff was exceptionally pleasant, especially our server, Amélie G., who offered excellent guidance regarding meat selections, cooking preferences, & the most notable menu items. The cocktails were also expertly crafted. I highly recommend this place.
It's such a beautiful restaurant! I just went there for the Happening Gourmand with their 59$ 3 services menu. Everything was amazingly good & they have a really good cocktails for the occasion! I devoured all! My highlight was the 45 days aged steak, just wow! It melted in my mouth!
Great place to have dinner & drinks. Staff was super friendly, they really care about the customer experience, there was a little confusion with out order but they corrected it so promptly & ensured we were happy with our service at all times. I tried the salmon grilled fillet & was so good. Cocktails are algo very good & the view to old Montreal plaza is very very nice. Worth it 100%!!

adresse sympa pour prendre un verre ou manger un bout façon brasserie chic Assez fancy dans l ambiance bistronomique Bonne carte de cocktails ou de vins Dans la salade Cesar ajouté 9$ pour le poulet sinon ca reste salade verte 😒
Très belle expérience. Les cocktails sont uniques & délicieux. Que dire de la papardelle au homard. Une portion généreuse avec beaucoup de chaire d'homard. Belle sortie entre amie ou en tête à tête.
Resto incroyable! L'équipe était aux petits soins avec nous & que dire de la nourriture. WOW!!! LE meilleur steak que j'ai mangé de ma vie. La purée de pommes de terre aux truffes était tellement bonne que j'en aurais mangé un chaudron entier. Les cocktails étaient bons mais un peu trop fort en alcool à mon goût. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant. Encore merci à toute l'équipe.

Server was very nice & helpful with the menu. We got Caesar salad & shrimp cocktail as appetizer. Then the Steak Bavette for dinner which was really good along with seasonal veggies & fries. The perfect combo. Also tried the soup of the day. & got the cheese cake for dessert which was tasty.
A short walk from our hotel, we chose Maggie Oates because another review mentioned it had a kids menu. Turns out that was limited but it had the essential - chicken tenders & French fries. The salmon was excellent as well as the shrimp cocktail. The service was outstanding.
Really great food, we enjoyed the salmon, filet mignon, shrimp cocktail & crispy shrimp remoulade, & the tataki was amazing, a real work of food art! The staff was a bit jammed the night we were there, but they poured me extra wine to make up for it, & we didn't mind.
Overall, we had a great experience. We stopped by for a quick cocktail & lite lunch. The atmosphere was nice, bar service was fantastic, & the food tasted wonderful. Highly recommend the onion soup.
