I sat at the bar & Jean L. confirmed my dinner selection (I suspect it's all delicious) but he was absolutely right! Fantastic meal! He also makes a mean cappuccino! Thank you Jean L. for making my dinner in Montreal wonderful!

Sat at the bar & had my dinner there, great Bartender Jean L. , very knowledgeable & great conversationalist. Great service, had Steak Tartare, Ribeye… au poivre . Atmosphere is great & beers are fresh & crisp. Cocktails thumbs up.
Thanks to bartender Jean for making the eve great. Even got Profiteroles on the house as a buyback. Nice touch.
Thiis place was fantastic. From service to food. I had the onion soup, & beef short ribs, & my girlfriend had the seafood tagliatelle. It was all delicious. After our meal we had a drink at the bar to catch the hockey game. We enjoyed some khalua Rhum coffees & peroni's. We will be visiting méchant Boeuf again absolutely. Thank you for a great evening.
Marie-Joelle was absolutely amazing! She recommended cocktails for us & we loved the beef tartare & fresh oysters she recommended. She made the BEST moscow mule we've ever had. Her positive attitude & warm smile made our night memorable. We spent the night sitting at the bar because the dining room seemed dim without her personality lighting the way. You're very lucky to have her. We are first time guests at the hotel & we will come back tomorrow for another cocktial just to see her again. We had a wonderful time here!
We decided to stop into Mechant Boeuf for a drink at the bar since we had eaten a very late lunch while touring Montreal. The inside of the restaurant is absolutely stunning; kudos to the designer. I ordered a Cosmopolitan, & my husband ordered the Le Peche drink. Both drinks were delicious, but the Le Peche was OMG delicious. I took a sip & I still can't stop thinking about it. We then decided to order the salmon dinner which came with brussel sprouts & potatoes. Oh my goodness, it was amazingly delicious. We then got the Brookie dessert which was also very good. My only disappointment is that we weren't in Montreal long enough to have a sit down dinner at Mechant Boeuf, but it's the first restaurant on our list to go to when we return to Montreal.
Unfortunately, I do not remember our bartenders name, but he was very nice.

Méchant Boeuf never disappoints, & our latest visit was no exception! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm & inviting, setting the perfect stage for an incredible evening.
A huge shoutout to our waiter, Valter, who was unbelievably kind, knowledgeable, & professional, truly a top-tier waiter. His recommendations were spot on, his attention to detail impeccable, & his genuine passion for hospitality made our experience even more special. Service like this is rare, & Valter set the bar incredibly high.
Of course, the food was outstanding as always perfectly cooked steaks, lovely wine, & a lively yet cozy ambiance that makes Méchant Boeuf one of our favorite spots in Montreal.
Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Ask for Valter! Can't wait to return!
Accueil enthousiaste dès l'arrivée, ambiance chaleureuse mais familiale. Les places au bar sont confortables & donne envie d'y rester un long moment. Super service de Marie-Joëlle, dynamique, conviviale & avenante, mais dès son départ, nous n'avons pas reçu de suivi de ses collègues pour terminer notre belle expérience. Nous y retournerons sans faute :) ✌

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.
Amazing experience. Marie Joelle, Julien & the whole team behind the bar were so friendly. & the food was awesome. This meal in Vancouver would have been 3X. Highly recommend!!!
