What a most delightful experience. From the moment we entered to tasting of wines & the most incredible food, we were treated fabulously. Highly recommend the beef tartare, foie gras & crème brûlée.

Such a memorable experience at Maggie Oakes. My family & I dined here for the first time to celebrate both my birthday & Mother's Day. The quality of the food was outstanding & the mashed potatoes perfectly complement the steak. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a good steakhouse!
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!
Emeric showed our family a fantastic time when dining at Maggie Oaks for dinner. We had a large group with 4 little ones in tow, & the restaurant was very accommodating & welcoming. The food was as beautiful as it was tasty. Overall, highly recommend for a group or taking extended family out for a meal.
We were there last week, September 2025 & thoroughly enjoyed our experience there. We sat outside & the table were fairly close together. The couple beside us were celebrating their 60th Anniversary the next day which happened to be our 32nd Anniversary that day. The lady beside me saw my Framboise Fatale drink & ordered one asap. We both loved the drink. We all really enjoyed the good food. The service was good. A little slow as it got quite busy, but we didn't mind as we were busy enjoying drinks, food & company. Highly recommend this place.

Fantastic, attentive service with deliciously prepared dishes. The oysters of the day was whatever was available & fresh for the day. The Beluga Lentil salad was light & refreshing. The French Onion soup was tasty & delicious - the portion was huge. The Porterhouse was grilled to a juicy perfection & came with vegetables & we opted for the truffle mash which was heavenly. An overall lovely dinner experience & highly recommended.
Excellent restaurant. Top notch service from Louis. We started with a wine flight which was paired with an appetizer bite. 2 whites & a red. Amazing pairings & what a start to the good. Our starters were wonderful...a goat cheese salad & Pate for my husband. We both had the 46 day dry aged NY strip with vegetables & a bourdalize sauce. The yuzu cream puff dessert was out of this world. We loved our meal so much we went back a second night to see Louis again. I highly recommend Maggie Oakes!!!
Best steakhouse I've been worldwide. Service is impeccable 👌. Great attention to detail. I highly recommend Maggie Oakes if you're looking for a very good steak 💯
