Méchant Boeuf

The onion soup was the saltiest thing I've ever had. Felt like I was eating poutine gravy. Hopefully it was just a bad batch.

Beef tartare was disappointing.

The others at the table enjoyed their meals, though...

Good service.

One of My Best Dining Experiences This Year so Far.

I visited Méchant Boeuf for a farewell dinner on my last night in Montreal, & it was nothing short of exceptional.
I arrived about 10 minutes before my host, who had made the reservation. The hostess greeted me with a warm smile, was incredibly friendly, & seated me right away, a lovely welcome to what would become a memorable evening.
The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between elegant & cozy, ideal for fine dining but still inviting & relaxed. The space was beautifully designed, & it's easy to see why both tourists & locals return time & again. My hosts have dined here often & always had great things to say.
We started with the fried calamari, which was crisp, perfectly seasoned, & full of flavor, a great opener. For the main course, our group shared the largest tomahawk steak on the menu. It came with generous sides & was cooked to a flawless medium rare. Juicy, tender, & flavorfu, it needed no extra seasoning at all. Easily the best steak I've had in quite some time.
Our meal was perfectly complemented by a wine recommended by our attentive & knowledgeable waiter, Simon. He gave us an excellent breakdown of the beef selection process & cooking techniques & helped us find the ideal wine pairing for our meal.
Although we didn't order dessert, we were pleasantly surprised with two boxes of bite-sized sweets to share, a thoughtful touch that ended the night on a high note.
This was easily one of my best restaurant experiences of the year. I highly recommend Méchant Boeuf & would absolutely return. Reservations are recommended!

Came for dinner on Sunday after a day at the Grand Prix. Overall, our experience, the service, & the food were outstanding. Our server was Emma & she was a total rockstar!!

Even with the restaurant at full capacity over a major event weekend, Emma was able to ensure our water & wine glasses were always topped up, we had timing updates about when to expect the next course of our meal, & she even helped make recommendations for places for brunch the following day. The service was the best we had out of all the restaurants we ate at.

The food was outstanding! We enjoyed the beef carpaccio, shrimps cocktail, ribeye steaks, Monte Cristo potatoes, & ended with the profiteroles for dessert. I could write a whole essay on my obsession with the Monte Cristo potatoes - they are a MUST try! I would make a trip back to Méchant Boeuf for these potatoes alone.

Every element of the meal was spot on! This was far & away the best meal I ate in Montreal during our trip (& we had the chance to enjoy the legendary'duck in a can' earlier in the weekend, iykyk).

If you are in Montreal, do not miss the chance to eat here, & definitely do not skip the Monte Cristo potatoes - seriously it was THAT good!

Thiis place was fantastic. From service to food. I had the onion soup, & beef short ribs, & my girlfriend had the seafood tagliatelle. It was all delicious. After our meal we had a drink at the bar to catch the hockey game. We enjoyed some khalua Rhum coffees & peroni's. We will be visiting méchant Boeuf again absolutely. Thank you for a great evening.

Marie-Joelle was absolutely amazing! She recommended cocktails for us & we loved the beef tartare & fresh oysters she recommended. She made the BEST moscow mule we've ever had. Her positive attitude & warm smile made our night memorable. We spent the night sitting at the bar because the dining room seemed dim without her personality lighting the way. You're very lucky to have her. We are first time guests at the hotel & we will come back tomorrow for another cocktial just to see her again. We had a wonderful time here!

We had an amazing night here celebrating my wife's 40th bday, we were very well looked after by Sarah. We ordered the beef carpaccio to start & picanha & NY striploin steak cuts for our main, everything were well made & very flavorful prepared to our liking! Definitely recommend this gem of a place for any occasion!

beautiful ambience & great friendly service. location is awesome, in the beautiful area of Old Montreal. The food however at least for us that night left us disappointed. Both steak orders were well over-cooked & the braised beef ribs was quite salty & inconsistently cooked, beautifully soft & tender in spots & then tough & overcooked in other spots. I'm willing to give the restaurant another shot the next time we visit Montreal as the service was great.

I expected more from the food considering the place is a beef restaurant. Wasn't impressed by the dish quality considering prices. Service was outstanding though
