This restaurant is beautiful & romantic, with the exposed brick & dim lights inside. Our server, Sarah, was the most kind, attentive & polite. She made our anniversary night perfect. We had the seafood platter to start. It was incredibly fresh. For entrees we had the short rib & rib steak & both were flavourful & delicious. highly recommended.
Simon was extremely attentive & genuinely courteous. He took the time to explain things we were unsure of & made us feel comfortable. Highly recommend the scallops.
I went to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday & I had an amazing experience. The food was excellent & the atmosphere was very pleasant.

A special thank you to Simon for his friendly attitude, great attention, & exceptional service.
Highly recommended!
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!
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!
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!
We had a large group & the place was busy. It took a while to get our drinks & food. However, they were still very professional even with the delay. They also gave us a few complementary boxes of mini desserts because we hadn't ordered any, primarily due to the fact that the appetizer portions were so large & we were full after the main course. Highly recommend!
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!
Emma was super fun & we were very impressed by the whole experience. Our food was amazing, & delicious, the drinks were super, & we highly recommend Mechant Boeuf to everyone! 10/10
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!
