J'ai passé Noël avec mes amis au méchant boeuf & le service ainsi que le repas étaient incroyables. Merci beaucoup à Amélie & Lucas qui ont rendu cette soirée de fête merveilleuse !
I recently had the steak & shrimp at The Merchant Boeuf, & it was absolutely outstanding. The steak was cooked to perfection - tender, juicy, & bursting with flavor - while the shrimp were perfectly seasoned & grilled just right. The combination of the two was pure indulgence.
Everything from the presentation to the portion size showed real attention to detail. The sides complemented the meal beautifully, & the sauce tied it all together perfectly. The staff were friendly, attentive, & made sure everything was spot on from start to finish.
The atmosphere was warm & inviting, with a lively energy that made the evening even more enjoyable. Whether you're a steak lover or just looking for an exceptional dining experience in Montreal, The Merchant Boeuf is a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back!
We were visiting from Edmonton & had a wonderful experience at Méchant Boeuf! The service was outstanding - our server, Valter, was friendly, attentive, & so kind with our kids. Our teens are in French immersion & were excited to practice their French on this trip. They did all the ordering for the table, & Valter & the staff encouraged them, making it extra special.
The food was excellent - beautifully prepared & delicious. Two members of our family have celiac disease, & the staff were very knowledgeable & accommodating with gluten-free options.
Overall, a fantastic dining experience that we'd highly recommend!
Super nice place! It was our first time at Méchant Boeuf, & Jérôme made us feel really comfortable. Great vibe & excellent service - thank you Jérôme for making our night so enjoyable!
It was my first time at Mechant Boeuf & it won't be my last! The food was delicious, from the complementary warm bread to the dessert - everything was perfect. Our server Abel was the best!! Polite, helpful & gave impeccable recommendation! My bf & I are looking forward to our next visit :)

It was a beautiful ambiance, great service from our server Sarah. We enjoyed the rib steak for our anniversary dinner, it was tender & very well seasoned! I had an exceptional experience & highly recommend Mechant Boeuf!
We visit Mechant Boeuf each time we stay at Hotel Nelligan & it never disappoints. The food is great & the ambiance is cozy. On our last trip, Kamel took extra good care of us. He surprised us with a special dessert arrangement at the end of our meal that made it fun to share.
The menu was diverse for all types of eaters. The food was well seasoned & delicious (fyi - the ribs are a healthy portion, 2 ppl care share one serving).
Sarah R, our server was detail oriented & super attentive - she always came by then the water glasses were empty or we wanted to order more cocktails… she was so pleasant & fun!
Mechant Boeuf was a perfect end to a fun weekend away.

One of My Best Dining Experiences This Year so Far.
I visited Méchant Boeuf for a farewell dinner on my last night in Montreal, & it was nothing short of exceptional.
I arrived about 10 minutes before my host, who had made the reservation. The hostess greeted me with a warm smile, was incredibly friendly, & seated me right away, a lovely welcome to what would become a memorable evening.
The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between elegant & cozy, ideal for fine dining but still inviting & relaxed. The space was beautifully designed, & it's easy to see why both tourists & locals return time & again. My hosts have dined here often & always had great things to say.
We started with the fried calamari, which was crisp, perfectly seasoned, & full of flavor, a great opener. For the main course, our group shared the largest tomahawk steak on the menu. It came with generous sides & was cooked to a flawless medium rare. Juicy, tender, & flavorfu, it needed no extra seasoning at all. Easily the best steak I've had in quite some time.
Our meal was perfectly complemented by a wine recommended by our attentive & knowledgeable waiter, Simon. He gave us an excellent breakdown of the beef selection process & cooking techniques & helped us find the ideal wine pairing for our meal.
Although we didn't order dessert, we were pleasantly surprised with two boxes of bite-sized sweets to share, a thoughtful touch that ended the night on a high note.
This was easily one of my best restaurant experiences of the year. I highly recommend Méchant Boeuf & would absolutely return. Reservations are recommended!
Très belle expérience pour une première fois au Méchant boeuf ! Les plats étaient excellents & les portions genereuses! Leurs cocktails sont délicieux, très bon service de Mia!
Mon copain & moi avons passé une superbe soirée au Méchant Boeuf! Nous avons eu un service impeccable par notre serveur Valter! Nous avons bien hâte d'y retourner & nous espérons le recroiser.
An unforgettable experience at Méchant Boeuf!
We had an amazing evening in a setting. The meat was absolutely delicious - incredibly tender & cooked to perfection (special mention to the Bavette, truly outstanding!).
Service was flawless, & we'd like to give a special shoutout to Emma, who was incredibly kind, attentive, & professional throughout our meal. Her warm & genuine approach truly elevated our experience.
Highly recommend this place for both the food quality & the exceptional service. Thank you we'll definitely be back!
Une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle !
Amateur de viande, j'ai été absolument conquis par ce restaurant. Le boeuf est d'une qualité remarquable, tendre, juteux & parfaitement cuit selon la demande. Chaque bouchée est un vrai régal ! Le service est chaleureux & attentionné, & l'ambiance du lieu est à la fois conviviale & élégante. Mention spéciale pour les accompagnements faits maison & la carte des vins bien pensée. Une adresse incontournable pour tous les amoureux de bonne viande. J'y reviendrai sans hésiter !
Merci a Kamel qui a su nous regaler & a toute son équipe bien évidemment ♡
