J'ai passé une excellente soirée au Méchant Boeuf. Je recommande beaucoup le Tartare de Boeuf, ainsi que les options de desserts. Le service est impeccable.
Le repas était absolument parfait ! Le tomahawk était fabuleux, la viande cuite à la perfection, les desserts ont sublimé le repas avec une tarte au citron particulièrement légère & goûteuse. Mention spéciale pour notre serveur Quentin, aux petits soins & extrêmement professionnel. Nous reviendrons dès que possible sans hésitation. Merci pour cette merveilleuse soirée !

Had a fantastic meal at Mechant Boeuf last night during a huge rainstorm. We had a lovely seat by the window & it was warm & cozy. Our server, Valter, was kind & attentive & made several great suggestions as to menu items, including having some delicious pork dumplings to start, along with onion soup. For our mains, we had the salmon & seafood tagliatelle. Both were delicious. The Brookie dessert was a teensy bit dry but the copious amount of ice cream on top more than made up for it! Can't say enough about this restaurant & the friendly talented Valter - we will be back!
Méchant Boeuf in Montreal is a must-visit for a fantastic dining experience! I had the fish, which was perfectly cooked, & the dessert was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is awesome-vibrant, fun, & the kind of place where you can really enjoy yourself. If you're in Montreal, don't miss out on this gem!
A mixed review. The servers were nice, but we had almost an hour wait for our starters, or any bread. The waiter apologised, but it was a very long wait. The worst part was that they also hadn't taken our starter plates away when our main courses arrived, so there was a scramble to take those plates away, to make room for our main plates. Surprised at the lack of communication between them. Tables were too small for 4 people - we didn't have enough room. We also then had to wait a long time to order dessert, & then even longer for our dessert plates to be taken away. My steak was nice but I ordered medium & it was cooked well-done, which was disappointing. I was so hungry by that point I didn't want to wait for it to be re-cooked. For $60+ a steak, I expect it to be cooked how I ordered... I was disappointed as it has the potential to be excellent.
This is a wonderful spot in Old Montreal. Our experience began with a warm greeting from the hostess. The ambiance is very nice with tables by the open windows as well as bar seating. It is much larger than it looks from the street. Once seated we were quickly introduced to our server, Valter. His excellent service & assistance with wine selection (with Quentin's input) elevated our dinner experience. It was nice to have a great meal in an environment where the team really wants you to enjoy your visit. We had Chateaubriand which was amazing! The accompanying Bernaise & pepper sauces were excellent. If you are a dessert person, save room for profiteroles or key lime pie.
Découvert en pleine après midi , ce restaurant de part sa devanture classique , ne reste pas moins agréable à & surprenant à l'intérieur. Un accueil classique mais restant chaleureux , une décoration & une ambiance tape l'oeil notamment au bar. Ayant pris un plat ( burger ) & un dessert ( brookie) j'ai été agréablement surpris de la qualité des mets par rapport à beaucoup de concurrent , peut être un manque d'originalité dans les ingrédients & la confection mais la qualité est au rendez vous. Le service était très professionnel & surtout très agréable , les compétences sont présentes & c'est ce qu'on attend d'un restaurant de cette gamme. Le seul bémol serait l'attente alors que le restaurant n'avait pas beaucoup de client mais ce défaut est rattraper par une gourmandise offerte par l'entreprise ce qui est un très bon point. Le rapport qualité prix est respectée & c'est un restaurant à faire si vous visitez le vieux port & ses quartiers , c'est un 18,50/20.

All our orders were cooked to perfection, & every bite was so savory. The sauce that our waitress recommended for our steak was amazingly delicious. Me & my husband we're there celebrating our anniversary, They offered us two glasses of prosecco, but we had to say no because we didn't want to mix our alcohol so they offered us our dessert instead, that was nice of them to do that. Definitely recommend the place & would go back for many more.
Le service était exceptionnel , mon ami & moi étions constamment au petit soins grâce au personnel & que dire du repas, c'était exquis. J'ai tout adoré du début jusqu'à la fin entre entrée, plat de résistance, dessert & boissons 🥰 Je recommande vivement le méchant boeuf 🤌🏾
We wanted to have dinner as part of Happening Gourmand - 3 courses for $49. The appetizers & the main were very delicious. As appetizers we had spinach soup & heart of palm tartare. Both were tasty but spinach soup was on the spicier side if you are sensitive. We both got steak & fries as main. Steak was cooked to perfection. It was tender & easy to eat. I am not big on sauces so I preferred having the meat only with butter. For desserts we had one of each. I would say desserts are not on the same level as appetizers & main. The brownie was dry & not warm. Profiteroles felt like they waited in the fridge before served. I would probably order an extra appetizer & skip the dessert next time. We also had the Feeling Fresh cocktail without syrup & it was so refreshing! I highly recommend. The ambiance was very nice. We loved the lights & table lamps on each table. The staff was friendly & service was very fast. We didn't have long pauses in between the courses which I appreciate. Overall, I will definitely go back to try other things on the menu. Thank you!!
L'endroit est magnifique, l'ambiance feutrée & chaleureuse est parfaite pour un bon repas romantique. La musique tendance & le bar nous offrent par ailleurs l'opportunité d'y passer une soirée branchée entre amis. Le service est impeccable. Si je pouvais mettre 6 étoiles je le ferais à ce niveau! Les mocktails sont vraiiiiment bon! À essayer 🍹 J'ai été un peu déçu toutefois en ce qui concerne la cuisine. Nous avons tenté la table d'hôte à prix réduit pendant l'événement Happening gourmand du Vieux Montréal & nous avons trouvé que nos assiettes reflétaient malheureusement la réduction. Les saveurs étaient toutefois là, c'était goûteux & les cuissons parfaites, sauf pour les frites de mon steak frites où elles étaient un peu dures, comme cuites puis réchauffées 😑. Mon contre-filet était malheureusement possédé par une bonne grosse veine de gras dur & désagréable qui fait crunch lorsqu'on le croque. Est-ce la normalité pour un contre-filet? Je prends habituellement du filet de boeuf alors je ne serais me poser en expert en contre-filet. La sauce béarnaise était divine! Enfin, j'aurais ajouté quelques petits légumes à cette assiette un peu triste 😢. Pour ce qui est du suprême de volaille & de gnocchis, la viande était tendre & juteuse & les gnocchis très bons. Néanmoins, le poulet manquait le petit kick de saveur espéré à la lecture du menu. Les desserts étaient bons, en particuliers les profiteroles. Bref, un endroit où nous en avons eu pour notre argent, mais sans plus au niveau de la cuisine mais qui a surpassé nos attentes en ce qui concerne le service d'exception auquel nous avons eu droit.

Went there for the gourmand event. We did the 3 course option for $49! Our server was wonderfully kind albeit very busy (we would be missing utensils, etc). The appetizer & dessert were both great & lovely!! Disappointment came with the steak which was completely flavourless & dry. Fries unsalted. We had to ask for salt to just get through it. All 5 us ordered the steak & we all felt the same. Unsure if it was a bad night. Overall with individual bills coming to $60 each, was better off getting something else.
It's Happening Gourmand month, on a Saturday night, the place is packed. We could not be served in the beginning by our waitress, the busboy took care of us. He was very amiable. Post orders, it took very long time to get any of our dishes. When the waitress took over after the first service, the service dropped a little notch down. Appetizer: garlic spinach soup 5/5, cod fritters 4/5 (more potatoes than fish). Main dishes: lobster risotto: 1/5 (unevenly cooked, after taste had sand feeling), steak & fries: 3/5 (unevenly seasoned, one side more salty) dessert: brookie & profiteroles:5/5. Overall the experience was average.
Méchant Boeuf provided the perfect atmosphere for a romantic date night with my wife. The ambiance was cozy, the service impeccable, & the food absolutely delicious. We shared the steak frites, cooked to perfection, & indulged in their rich desserts. Highly recommend for a special occasion!
Nous avons eu un excellent service, notre serveuse était professionnelle & à l'écoute de sa clientèle. Une expérience culinaire impeccable de l'entrée au dessert avec la formule du Happening Gourmand. Nous reviendrons certainement! Merci spécial à Simon pour son accueil chaleureux.

C'était bien l'attente était très longue mais on a eu une boisson pour le délai par le gérant. Les morceaux de viande n'était pas similaire pour le même plat certains avaient de plus grosses portions mais dans l'ensemble c'était très bien. On avait opté pour le menu Montréal à table l'entrée & le plat étaient super. Le dessert par contre était pas le meilleur que j'ai gouté
