Méchant Boeuf delivers an exceptional dining experience with a warm, elegant atmosphere in Old Montreal, making it a popular spot for celebrations and nights out. The service is consistently praised for being attentive, friendly and professional, with staff guiding guests through the menu and making special occasions feel taken care of. The kitchen earns frequent praise for expertly prepared steaks, tender braised dishes, fresh seafood and thoughtful sides that showcase quality ingredients and skill. The drinks program and desserts are well loved, with many noting standout cocktails, wine options and memorable sweet finishes. Reservations are advised during peak times, and while the restaurant's prices are on the higher side, the overall experience including ambience, service and food keeps guests returning.
The food is fine if you ignore the price, but it is really not good enough for what they charge. The fries are really basic, you can get better for 4$ at a fast food place. The ribs were tender, but a little too much if you ask me & they lacked any BBQ qualities other than a slight char on the sauce. The sauce was acceptable but nothing to write home about. If it was cheap I'd give it a pass, but at that price I expected better.
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!

Une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle !
Amateur de viande, j'ai été absolument conquis par ce restaurant. Le boeuf est d'une qualité remarquable, tendre, juteux & parfaitement cuit selon la demande. Chaque bouchée est un vrai régal ! Le service est chaleureux & attentionné, & l'ambiance du lieu est à la fois conviviale & élégante. Mention spéciale pour les accompagnements faits maison & la carte des vins bien pensée. Une adresse incontournable pour tous les amoureux de bonne viande. J'y reviendrai sans hésiter !
Merci a Kamel qui a su nous regaler & a toute son équipe bien évidemment ♡
Nous étions un groupe de 8 personnes au final, l'expérience à était magnifique de A à Z. Tant au niveau du service que de la nourriture ou encore des cocktails, etc… Kamel nous a directement fait sentir comme à la maison, que ce soit sur la recommandation des plats, du vin (en accord) selon les envies de chacun. Je recommande à 100%.
If I could give it 10 stars I would. Came here with a a group of 11 hungry guys & we got the family style menu. We got to try pribably 8 different dishes & all of them were AMAZING. We came to montreal for 2 nights 3 days & thia restaurant was the highlight hands down. The chef even came to our table to see how we were doing, servers were friendly & attentive, wines were fantastic for the 80-100$ range per bottle. We were so happy with this choice!

Had a really good dinner at Méchant Boeuf. The salmon filet was perfectly cooked with a crispy skin & a rich white butter sauce that tied it all together. The fried calamari were just right: crispy, well-seasoned, & not greasy.
We wrapped things up with the key lime pie, fresh & not too sweet, a great way to end the meal.
Shoutout to Kamel for the friendly service, & to Jean for one of the best Old Fashioneds I've had in a while.
Good food, solid drinks, chill vibe. I'll definitely be back.
J'ai passé un merveilleux moment à Méchant boeuf. Le pavé de saumon & sa sauce au beurre sont succulents, je vous le conseille fortement ! J'ai également pris un gin tonic ainsi que le basil Fizz (moktail) légèrement pimenté qui sont le must du resto ! & surtout, un merveilleux service de la part de Valter qui m'a conseillé tout le long. Donc très agréable d'être servie avec autant de classe ! :-)
Méchant Boeuf is a very good steakhouse. The staff is polite & accommodating, we came for a birthday & were not disappointed. Food quality is exquisite, special shout out to our waitress. The wait time for the tomahawk steak was a bit long, around an hour, but at the end, it was well worth it.
If you're looking for a unique experience in the heart of Montreal, this restaurant offers exactly the type of gastronomic getaway you'd expect, all at a fair price with great staff.
The prices are steep, but this is justified with the taste & food quality. We did not mind at all
