J'y ai célébré mon anniversaire entouré de quelques proches & l'expérience a largement dépassé mes attentes.
Une ambiance conviviale, un excellent rapport qualité-prix & surtout une cuisine maîtrisée : cuissons précises, viandes savoureuses & portions généreuses.
Une adresse à découvrir… & à recommander sans réserve.
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.

Really supportive of our vegan / dietary needs. Focaccia & Avo on Toast were amazing, the fries were great, & service attentive without hovering. Can't recommend enough.
Très déçue malgré la recommandation de notre guide. Burger sec & froid. Le steak n etait pas un steak mais de la macreuse bouillie !
Le serveur a tenté de relever l expérience... mais globalement décevant
Wonderful atmosphere, delicious food & impeccable service. Special shout-out to Pascal who provided us with the best service. Highly recommend & will definitely return!
We will recommend this place to all our friends. Rosemonde & Julian were the best, most pleasant servers we have had anywhere & we would come back just to see them. Our steaks, mushrooms, potatoes, & other vegetables, hot tea, & cheesecakes were excellent. We had a table next to the central square & watched the rest of the world go by. We are happy to be here in Canada, by which I mean I am glad that Montreal & Quebec are part of Canada. It has all the good qualities of Europe.

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!
Our group of four all had a great evening & Dinner at MO's, the food was excellent & the service top notch! We had a sommelier give us some great recommendations on wine. I would recommend the flat iron steak & my group were raving about the oysters. Delish!
Service impeccable du début à la fin . Gian Carlos & son équipe nous ont servis avec beaucoup d'attention. Les entrées étaient généreuses. La cuisson de notre filet mignon était parfaite. Nous recommandons fortement Maggies . Merci pour cette expérience , j'ai beaucoup apprécié ma soirée.

Souper de Noël d'équipe dans la salle privée Bibliothèque. La décoration était magnifique & l'ambiance parfaite. Le service d'Amélie, de Hi le maître d'hôtel, ainsi que de toute l'équipe qui a organisé & planifié notre soirée, notamment Salomé & Illéana, a été impeccable. Ils ont été très professionnels, attentionnés & de très bons conseils. Nous avons reçu un accueil chaleureux du début à la fin.
Excellent restaurant !
Une superbe découverte dans le cadre de Montréal à Table. Le menu table d'hôte était vraiment délicieux : des plats de très grande qualité, bien présentés & savoureux. Le service était impeccable du début à la fin. L'équipe est polie, professionnelle & vraiment attentionnée.

Nous avons choisi ce restaurant pour le brunch un baby shower & nous en gardons un souvenir magnifique. 💛 Les plats étaient excellents, l'ambiance agréable & le service tout simplement exceptionnel. Un immense merci à Matheo, dont la gentillesse, l'attention & le professionnalisme ont vraiment fait toute la différence. Grâce à lui, cette journée a été à la fois festive & sans tracas. Une expérience à recommander sans hésiter! 🌸☕?🥞
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.
Our table of four thoroughly enjoyed breakfast here this morning with the friendly staff & delicious food. I recommend the smoked salmon with eggs Benedict.
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.
Jérémy était un des meilleurs serveurs que j'ai eu dans mon expérience en restauration. Service impeccable, recommandations précises & affûtés, jetait agréablement surprise de sa qualité de service.
