I went to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday & I had an amazing experience. The food was excellent & the atmosphere was very pleasant.
The staff were very attentive & professional, & I truly appreciate their service.
A special thank you to Simon for his friendly attitude, great attention, & exceptional service.
Highly recommended!
First time but DEFINITELY not the last time. I went for my 30th birthday last night with my husband & it was delicious. Our waitress Emma was very kind & amazing! She made sure we were taken care of through the whole meal. Amazing food, amazing ambience & great staff!
Service impeccable ! On reviendra sans hésiter. Emma nous a accueillis avec un sourire radieux & nous a présenté les plats avec enthousiasme. Un grand merci à toute l'équipe, & en particulier à Emma.
The entire staff - from Amelie, the hostess & Emma our waitress made this experience outstanding! The food was amazing & if you have not been there - you need to go. Everything was tasty from apps, salad, steak & sides & desserts! They even had Green Chartreuse for a Last Word! Thank you for the great memories!

Come here for a relaxing dinner experience after visiting AURA at Basilica Notre Dame. It's just a block away. Food was superb! I ordered the bearnaisse sauce with my filet mignon, but the filet was so perfectly prepared & seasoned that it seemed a shame to add anything else! Same with the seasonal roasted vegetables. The service was very attentive but not intrusive. The atmosphere was elegant but not'stuffy' or pretentious. Each table has its own small lamp, which offsets the low lighting throughout & gives a sense of having the place to yourself, even with other diners nearby. This dining experience was on of the highlights of my trip to Montreal,
« 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. 🔥🍻 »
Tout était parfait. Moi & mes amies sont venue pour un anniversaire & notre serveuse Chanelle a su nous faire sentir special & à été attentive à toutes nos demandes. La nourriture, l'ambiance & le service étaient simplement excellent!

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!
A bit pricey but when the food comes out it's entirely worth it. I still think about this steak one week on from eating it. Not sure when I'll be back in Montréal but this will be one of my stops for sure.
