If I could give it 10 stars I would. Came here with a a group of 11 hungry guys & we got the family style menu. We got to try pribably 8 different dishes & all of them were AMAZING. We came to montreal for 2 nights 3 days & thia restaurant was the highlight hands down. The chef even came to our table to see how we were doing, servers were friendly & attentive, wines were fantastic for the 80-100$ range per bottle. We were so happy with this choice!
Fantastic experience at Méchant Boeuf. We were celebrating a milestone anniversary & had a reservation after Aura at the basilica.
Our server, Sarah R., offered us complimentary dessert instead of the usual glass of prosecco as she noticed we were looking at the mocktails menu. It was such a nice gesture & we were amazed that she noticed we were not having alcohol before we actually ordered.
We discussed with her our plan to order a filet & a strip steak & she suggested that we might do better to share a porterhouse which would be aged. This was a perfect solution for us - we were able to get the aged steaks for close to the same price as the individual non-aged steaks & the shared dish was a nice touch for our anniversary.
Our mocktails were great (we really appreciate it when restaurants offer fancy drinks without alcohol).The steaks were perfectly done (medium rare) & we especially enjoyed the mashed potatoes with egg yolk. The key lime pie for dessert was delicious (a personal favorite of ours). The food was all very satisfying & enjoyable.
Sarah R. really helped make our night feel special. She was observant, helpful & attentive, but not obtrusive in any way. She provided some of the best service we received on our trip to Montreal & felt very lucky for choosing Méchant Boeuf for our celebration.

The food was simply outstanding, exactly what you would expect from a menu of that caliber. I'd like to make a special mention of Valter, our exceptional waiter, who was attentive, thoughtful, & full of genuine care. I was meeting my boyfriend's family from Costa Rica for the first time, & I chose Méchant Boeuf for the occasion. The experience was truly exceptional, made all the more memorable by Valter's special touch. He turned our evening into a remarkable & lasting memory.
We had a pleasant experience at Merchant Boeuf.
Simon was our waiter. He was extremely attentive, personable & made our evening extremely delightful.
The food was very good & the desserts were phenomenal.
Thank you again Simon for making our evening a memorable one.
We will definitely return on our next visit to Montreal.

We had an exceptional dining experience at this restaurant! The service exceeded our expectations-attentive yet not intrusive from our waiter Valter! The food was incredible, with the steak cooked to perfection at the ideal doneness. Everything came out at just the right time, & the flavors were spot-on. Highly recommend for a top-tier meal & great overall experience!
Delicious food, friendly staff, great ambiance. We ordered the filet mignon & beef tartare & the meals were exquisite. Our waitress Amelie was very attentive & pleasant. The manager Simon was also very cheerful & friendly. Thank you for the nice evening!

Decorated very tastefully & a propos for the holiday season. Hostess, servers, & manager were attentive & genuinely cared about their customers having a good time. Overall a pleasant place to spend an evening with friends.
First, I want to thank Jerome for making our first date night in almost 3 years an extraordinary experience. I am not using "extraordinary " out of context here. I cannot thank you enough for the kindness you showed us during our meal. I am so thankful. My husband & I could not have asked for a better person to serve us our meal. I want to also thank the other service staff, you were so kind to us throughout the entire meal. Second, the food was very flavorful. My husband & I left nothing on our plates. The French onion beer soup was beautiful on a cold winter night. Both of our steaks were cooked to perfection (medium rare) . The desserts did not disappoint us as they were just as good as the rest of the meal. I would highly recommend trying this place, & asking for Jerome. He will make you wish everyone in the service industry was as kind & attentive as he is. Thank you for making a special night even more memorable for us.
Had a lovely on a Wednesday night with friends. While the food was delicious, what truly stood out was Valter's exceptional service. He was attentive without being intrusive. He timed each course perfectly, & it felt like he knew just when to check in. We never had to ask for a water refill which was greatly appreciated. Great steak, great companies, & exceptional service! Highly recommended! Would come again.

We visited Montreal this past weekend & enjoyed a great meal & fabulous environment. Our server Mia was extremely attentive making our experience memorable.
We had drinks at the bar. We walked in because it looked so cozy & nice inside. Very friendly bartenders (Marie Joelle & Steven), great service, & great drinks. Busy, but still very, very attentive.
I recently dined at Méchant Boeuf in Montreal & had a great experience overall. The service was outstanding, attentive, & friendly, which made our meal enjoyable. We tried the steak tartare, which had a unique kick, setting it apart from other tartares I've tasted. It was flavorful & had a nice texture. We also ordered the poutine with brisket; while the poutine was delicious, I felt the brisket could have used a bit more seasoning to enhance its flavor. The restaurant is in a great location, making it a convenient spot to enjoy a meal. I would definitely recommend it & give it four stars!
Enjoyed my dinner & service on my first night in town I decided to repeat it on my second night. Had a Filet cooked to perfection both nights. The bartender, Quentin, was both pleasant & attentive.
We had a fantastic time at le mechant boeuf. The Terrasse is beautiful, the drinks were delicious, even their mocktails were a treat! & the food was awesome! Such a wonderful time in the Old Port. Our waiter Valter was kind & attentive, exceptional service. What a treat!
