Oh mon dieu, quelle belle expérience. De l'accueuil d'Amélie au service attentioné de Valter jusqu'à la nourriture du chef Nicolas qui est venu nous donner un service ++. Merci Méchant Boeuf!

Le serveur Valter nous a accueilli magnifiquement. L'ambiance est incroyable & la nourriture est tout simplement exquise. Le steak vieilli que nous avons commandé était cuit à la perfection. Compliment a notre serveur & aux bussboys qui ont fait un travail remarquable.

« Valter, une légende vivante ! Service impeccable, sourire contagieux & ambiance de feu du début à la fin. Si tous les restos avaient un Valter, le monde serait plus heureux. 🔥🍻 »

A bit of a late review but about 3 weeks ago, I walked in as a solo diner & left as if I came with friends! Valter is a one of a kind server & I wish him eternal joy & happiness in his life. His high intellect & charisma really brings a certain charm to dinner that rarely occurs on solo nights out. I expressed my desire to order in French & practice with him & he actually let me! He was patient with me as both a customer & a student of the French language. Granted it wasn't busy either but it still means something when your meal doesn't feel transactional or rushed as some places had made me feel (especially with my limited French). I will definitely be coming back on my next visit to Montreal for another pleasant experience at this restaurant. I had the dumplings, the short ribs, the side salad (not pictured) , one of the desserts that had icecream in shortbread(? I think) & a glass of wine. Also the bread is FAB!!! The place is pricey but I would still recommend it for my above budget/treatyoself girlies & would definitely had split all of these if I had a friend with me (I was eating with my eyes when I ordered). Can't wait to come back !!

We had Valter & he could not have been more kind, attentive & professional. I asked him if I could practice my French with him & he so graciously & patiently practiced & taught me things throughout the dinner. 11/10 service! The food was alright, but the Cesar salad was amazing! I'd go back just to see Valter again! Merci beaucoup, Valter!!!

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!
