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!View more

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 ♡View more

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.View more

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 ! :-)View more

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 allView more

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!View more
Sarah
Fantastic experience at Méchant Boeuf. We were celebrating a milestone anniversary & had a reservation after Aura at the basilica.
Our server, Sarah R., offered us complimentary dessert instead of the usual glass of prosecco as she noticed we were looking at the mocktails menu. It was such a nice gesture & we were amazed that she noticed we were not having alcohol before we actually ordered.
We discussed with her our plan to order a filet & a strip steak & she suggested that we might do better to share a porterhouse which would be aged. This was a perfect solution for us - we were able to get the aged steaks for close to the same price as the individual non-aged steaks & the shared dish was a nice touch for our anniversary.
Our mocktails were great (we really appreciate it when restaurants offer fancy drinks without alcohol).The steaks were perfectly done (medium rare) & we especially enjoyed the mashed potatoes with egg yolk. The key lime pie for dessert was delicious (a personal favorite of ours). The food was all very satisfying & enjoyable.
Sarah R. really helped make our night feel special. She was observant, helpful & attentive, but not obtrusive in any way. She provided some of the best service we received on our trip to Montreal & felt very lucky for choosing Méchant Boeuf for our celebration.View more

3 Stars quality across the board, but i demote to 2 stars because of the price+expectation. Boeuf was out of their boeuf cut & various other items - from steaks to wines. They also refused to cook meat rare charred, then brought out a very overcooked medium rare. At this price point I am going elsewhere, although nothing here was bad, per se.View more

Valter, our waiter at Machan Boeuf, was exceptional. He handled our large & somewhat complicated order with ease & a smile. Everything came out perfectly, & he made sure everyone had what they needed. Very impressed with his professionalism!View more
Margarita
The food was simply outstanding, exactly what you would expect from a menu of that caliber. I'd like to make a special mention of Valter, our exceptional waiter, who was attentive, thoughtful, & full of genuine care. I was meeting my boyfriend's family from Costa Rica for the first time, & I chose Méchant Boeuf for the occasion. The experience was truly exceptional, made all the more memorable by Valter's special touch. He turned our evening into a remarkable & lasting memory.View more

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.View more

We decided to stop into Mechant Boeuf for a drink at the bar since we had eaten a very late lunch while touring Montreal. The inside of the restaurant is absolutely stunning; kudos to the designer. I ordered a Cosmopolitan, & my husband ordered the Le Peche drink. Both drinks were delicious, but the Le Peche was OMG delicious. I took a sip & I still can't stop thinking about it. We then decided to order the salmon dinner which came with brussel sprouts & potatoes. Oh my goodness, it was amazingly delicious. We then got the Brookie dessert which was also very good. My only disappointment is that we weren't in Montreal long enough to have a sit down dinner at Mechant Boeuf, but it's the first restaurant on our list to go to when we return to Montreal.
Unfortunately, I do not remember our bartenders name, but he was very nice.View more

Méchant Boeuf never disappoints, & our latest visit was no exception! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm & inviting, setting the perfect stage for an incredible evening.
A huge shoutout to our waiter, Valter, who was unbelievably kind, knowledgeable, & professional, truly a top-tier waiter. His recommendations were spot on, his attention to detail impeccable, & his genuine passion for hospitality made our experience even more special. Service like this is rare, & Valter set the bar incredibly high.
Of course, the food was outstanding as always perfectly cooked steaks, lovely wine, & a lively yet cozy ambiance that makes Méchant Boeuf one of our favorite spots in Montreal.
Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Ask for Valter! Can't wait to return!View more

Rachel
Super beau restaurant, assez chic. On a été très bien servi par notre serveur. La nourriture était très bonne. Mon plat de saumon était délicieux: C'était tendre & croustillant sur le dessus. Le tartare de boeuf & le hamburger de mes amis étaient très bon aussi, & les huitres en entrées aussi. C'était un peu chère, mais pour un resto au centre-ville & pour la qualité des assiettes ça valait la peine.View more

Accueil très convivial. Nous avons eu le plaisir d'être servis par Jérôme. Excellent service & de belles suggestions. Queue de homard excellente! La bavette de boeuf était très bonne également. Nous avons fait une petite demande de dernière minute & Jérôme s'est assuré de répondre à cette demande avant la fermeture des cuisines, ce que nous avons grandement apprécié.View more

We popped into Old Montreal for New Year's Eve & had the best time at Hotel Nelligan & specifically Mechant Boeuf. The sweetest gal greeted us as the most assertive & helpful hostess. It was so obvious she was committed to seating us promptly. Because we had a slight wait, she sent bubbles to the table. We watched her serve the restaurant in any capacity, attending to tables with drink service & a smile. Our waiter, Valter, was efficient & patient with a very difficult table next to us, & we noticed many pleased patrons under his service. Absolutely top notch service from entry to exit!! We will be back!View more
