It was a lovely dinner, the food was good but had a small issue because the pasta was cold, however the staff quickly fixed that in a few minutes for us & apologized many times. Also offered the espresso for everyone at the end of the dinner. The waiter Heol was lovely & very attentive.
Déception ! Arrivé avec réservation à 20h . Commandé des cocktails mais ça a pris du temps pour venir à notre table! Même si j'ouvre le livre de recettes j'arriverais plus vite que ça ! Pas de pain sur la table, Commandé & oublié de servir ! Les plats sont secs (steak) avec des vieilles frites, le poulet est fade & pas assez de goût, les gnocchis sont trop molles! La sauce au poivre est comme une vinaigrette comparée avec celle de ma voisine?! Pas de sel & poivre aux tables! Pas de demande si on a besoin du poivre. Rizzotto au homard a une mèche de cheveux long, le maître d'hôtel s'est présenté pour s'excuser! Particule dans un verre d'eau. Le service est très lent pourtant il n'y a que 6 tables! C'est là qu'on a demandé du pain & c'est le maître d'hôtel qui nous a amené ! Pas de remplissage des verres d'eau & il faut les appeler. Le garçon est gentil & poli sauf qu'il n'a pas de crédibilité par ses manques! Très déçu & je ne veux pas comparer avec les autres restos voisins! Est-ce que le Happy Gourmand a nui aux plats & le service? Chose certaine qu'on n'y retournera pas. Déconseiller.

I ordered the Filet Mignon with the pepper sauce & it was Delicious. The sauce is very intricate & very delicious. Service was pretty good considering when I went it was packed #TwoThumbsUp
Food was fantastic, Great service & quite a good atmosphere. My steak tasted great & if I could go back to the restaurant I would definitely get the steak again. Fantastic Experience.
We went there for a family lunch of 6 + a baby. We didn't know that some pieces of meats were only available for dinner but it was well explained by the waiter. We had flank steaks, filet mignon & ribs. All tasted good but we had to wait for 20 minutes for the filet mignon whereas the flank steaks were served in no time. They shall have served us all at the same time
Nourriture excellente, un régal. Le service était impeccable, très courtois & efficace. Aucun reproche même dans les moindres détails... Bravo à l'équipe!
Extremely kind & welcoming service! The quality of food was excellent. I appreciate our server for being so accommodating & making our night exceptional. The tartare was delicious
Visited Merchant Boeuf recently & had an exceptional dining experience! We indulged in two poutines with succulent beef brisket, which were absolutely delicious - the perfect blend of crispy fries, savory gravy, & tender brisket. The Méchant burgers we ordered were also a hit, juicy & flavorful, easily some of the best we've had. The spicy chicken sandwiches were another highlight, packing just the right amount of heat & taste to leave us thoroughly impressed. Beyond the food, the cocktails were a standout. Each one we tried was fantastic, showcasing a creative mix of flavors that were both refreshing & delightfully balanced. The atmosphere of the place added to the enjoyment, making our meal there not just a dinner, but a truly enjoyable experience. Highly recommend Merchant Boeuf for anyone looking for top-notch food & drinks in a welcoming setting. It's a place we'll definitely return to!
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.
Amazing atmosphere & friendly staff. Good thing the bar & cocktails were great because the food was absolutely brutal. I think the kitchen staff must have changed from my undertsanding, my party of 10+ people all said the food was meh. Nothing to write home about.
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.
My evening at Méchant Boeuf, located in Old Montreal's charming Vieux-Port, was a delightful mix of culinary delights & a few drawbacks. Opting to dine on a Monday night, we found the dining room unusually quiet, with only a handful of patrons seated at the bar. Our hostess & waitress proved to be attentive professionals. The service was impeccable from the start, with a warm attitude & thoughtful recommendations. We kicked off the evening by savoring a delicious Amaretto Sour, my personal favorite, & the Feeling Spicy, a bold concoction of Hennessy VS cognac, lemon juice, bitters, & lavender syrup. The cocktails were well-balanced, leaving a positive first impression. As for the appetizers, the pork dumplings were satisfactory, though their likely frozen origin was discernible. In contrast, the beef tartare was a pleasant surprise, generously portioned & tastefully seasoned. For the main courses, we opted for the NY strip steak with pepper sauce, accompanied by Monte Cristo potatoes, & the ribeye steak. The dishes were flavorful, well-prepared, & featured generous portions. The quality of ingredients & culinary expertise shone through. However, the experience was marred by the noisy ambiance created by patrons at the bar. Their boisterous behavior, with no regard for the tranquility of others, could have been better managed by the restaurant staff. Unfortunately, the servers did not take initiative to address the noise, negatively impacting our overall enjoyment of the evening. Despite this drawback, Méchant Boeuf remains a recommendable spot for its enticing flavors & professional service. I would suggest, however, carefully choosing the timing of your visit to avoid a overly loud atmosphere, especially if you seek a more serene & intimate dining experience.
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!
