So I ordered the Steak & eggs & at first I was underwhelmed by how small the steak was BUT OMG THE STEAK WAS FIRE!¡ NO cause words can't describe how delicious it was along with the sides. Totally worth it. The staff have a warm vibe to them & were really nice! Was a bit pricy BUT SO WORTH IT.♡♡
We had another great dinner at Maggie Oakes! Leon, our waiter made fabulous suggestions for wine & steak for our family of four to share. We enjoyed our meal so much last year we wanted to come back again. We were not disappointed. We have created a new tradition at Maggie Oakes. Merci.
We went for my boyfriend's birthday & everything was amazing! Got the oysters as appetizer - super fresh & delicious. For main we shared a steak cooked perfectly medium 👌👌 At the end they did put a candle on our dessert. 10/10 ❤? thank you!
If the review was based solely on the food it would be a 3 star review but the wait staff were excellent & it is a nice establishment. The positives in terms of food items were for me the Ceasar salad & for the GF the salmon tartare. However, my 10oz striploin main was of poor quality but cooked to a perfect medium rare. Basically the steak had no marbling hence lacked that buttery tenderness. My GF indicated the paste & lobster main was underwhelming. Lobster was skimpy & what there was, was tough. Will not return. But again the wait staff was superlative. No photos of the mains available.
I looked forward to trying Maggie Oakes & expected divine beef. On the waiter's suggestion I had the cheeseburger instead of Bavette steak. The burger meat was near tasteless with no seasoning evident. Lots of good toppings so it was okay overall but I expected better. The service seemed inexperienced & slow. It was hard to find someone when we wanted to pay the bill.
Tucked in Old Montréal, Maggie Oakes is a nice mix of warm ambiance & top-tier grill fare. The filet mignon is rich, tender, & dripping in flavor, exactly what you want from a steakhouse cut. The tuna & beef tartare dishes stand out too...bright, fresh, & seasoned well

Was at Maggie's on 2025-05-29 @ 8PM, with a group of guys for a bachelor party. Most of use ordered steak, with half getting the 40 day aged, & the other have going with the 55 day aged. All were disappointed I highly contest that the steak was aged that long. To me it tasted like it was aged less than 25 days, if that. Aged steak can be pushed apart by your tongue, & everyone's steak, & I mean everyone's was chewy.
Besides being not aged as indicated, my steak tasted heavily of smoke, like it was being cooked over new coals that had not yet heated appropriately. Maybe it was a new chef, maybe quality is going down. In any case, I'm very disappointed, considering how much we spent on the food & wine that night. Will not be going back again.
To be clear, we did not inform the staff & know that we should have, they may have been able to do something. But with all steaks being not as expected, we figured why bother.
The steaks are high quality & the price definitely reflect that. However, the lobster & onion soup were let down. The lobster wasn't great & a bit dry (likely overcooked) & the onion soup has little to no soup, just a big chunk of onions inside. I would recommend just go for the steak which I would rate 5 stars & the lobsters & onion soup 1-2 stars. Otherwise, great service & atmosphere.
Une belle expérience, nous étions un grand groupe & j'ai vraiment apprécié que tous les plats ont été servi au même moment. En entrée, j'ai eu une soupe de carottes & gingembre (trop saveur à gengimbre pour mon goût) & comme repas principale, j'ai pris le steak bavette qui était délicieux, la portion etait parfait pour moi! Le service était accueillant. La vue de la terrasse en haut est incroyable! Je recommande cet endroit.
Wow best steakhouse I've been too. Very good steaks. The service was super friendly & the atmosphere a little upscale. Looks like it's attached to a hotel. They had the aging steaks in a display case.
J'ai eu le plaisir de dîner chez Maggie Oakes, & je dois dire que tout était parfait du début à la fin ! L'accueil chaleureux, le service attentionné & la qualité des plats en font une adresse incontournable du Vieux-Montréal.
Les steaks vieillis à sec étaient cuits à la perfection, tendres & savoureux. La patate au truffes est exceptionnelle, L'accompagnement de légumes frais & de sauces maison ajoutait une touche raffinée au repas. Le brunch du week-end est aussi un véritable coup de coeur, avec des plats généreux & gourmands.
Mention spéciale au personnel exceptionnel, toujours souriant & professionnel. Notre serveur a su rendre notre soirée encore plus agréable avec ses recommandations avisées & son service impeccable.
L'ambiance du restaurant est élégante & conviviale, parfaite pour une soirée entre amis, un repas en famille ou une occasion spéciale.
Je recommande sans hésitation & j'ai hâte d'y retourner !
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!
It was a little disappointing; my steak was a little tough & not what I was expecting. The service was exceptional. The atmosphere could be better & a little bit more quiet. The music in the background was a little difficult to enjoy. But I guess that's just me.
