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!!!
The French onion soup though well broth & has plenty of cheese, it was way too salty for my taste. The T-bone was really good & the sides of mashed potatoes, salads, & cooked vegetables are really well done. Also, a hands up to Simon.
The restaurant itself & the food was good. But to pay this much for the service is really tough. I have time to sit here & leave a review because I've been waiting to pay for 25 minutes now. The table next to us waited for 20 min to order drinks & no one came so they got up & left, completely ridiculous for an expensive steak house. I'd try elsewhere where they take care of their guests better, our server was kind but only waited on table all night. It's not slammed busy so I'm not sure why the service is so minimal.
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!
Super nice place! It was our first time at Méchant Boeuf, & Jérôme made us feel really comfortable. Great vibe & excellent service - thank you Jérôme for making our night so enjoyable!
On a réservé une table pour deux. Excellent service, notre serveur Jérôme était attentif & nous a bien conseillé. La nourriture était excellent ainsi que le mijoto! Excellent Mojito!
Nous avons aimé notre expérience!

The French onion soup was amazing. Wonderful filet mignon. Espresso martini, & The Pink Dove were great drinks. I recommend this place if you're in Montreal.
