This establishment functions as a dedicated destination for those seeking a reliable and expertly prepared protein-centric meal without unnecessary culinary complexity.
Mignon Steak offers a polarizing experience where guests frequently praise the inviting atmosphere, cozy decor, and the exceptional efforts of the service staff, who are often described as friendly and attentive. While many patrons enjoy the cocktails, oysters, and specific menu items like the tartare, experiences with the signature steak and sauce are notably inconsistent. Some diners laud the quality and value of the table d'hôte, whereas others report disappointment regarding portion sizes, rising prices, and fluctuating food preparation quality. Despite the restaurant's reputation for being a welcoming spot for friends and dates, issues with reservation management and varying food standards have left some long-time visitors feeling that the overall experience no longer justifies the cost.
I used to genuinely love Mignon. It was one of those places you return to because you know exactly what you're going to get: great food, a standout signature dish, & a sauce that made the whole thing worth it.
Unfortunately, that's no longer the case.
Over the past 3 years or so, the prices have climbed dramatically - roughly in the range of an 80+% increase- & it doesn't feel like the experience has kept pace. On top of that, the quality has slipped in the most important part: their signature dish. Not only did the portion of the meat reduced drastically but the sauce, which used to be the highlight & the reason to come back, just isn't the same anymore. It's been watered down & the recipe got tweaked in a way that removes what made it special. Sadly the quality of service has also slipped.
I get inflation. I get rising costs. But there's a point where the balance breaks, & for me, it has. Higher prices would be easier to accept if the experience was still great or even consistent - but right now it feels like paying significantly more for noticeably less.
I don't say this lightly, because I genuinely used to be a fan & a regular customer. But I can't justify coming back under these conditions.
Belle soirée entre amis.
Les huîtres à 1$ était une belle surprise spécial 5 à 7 avec achat d'un drink. Le steak signature était relativement raide, je ne sais pas quelle coupe c'était, mais pas top. L'assaisonnement manquait de sel, quoi le goût du champignon dans la sauce était intéressant.
Pour moi, tout plats au dessus de 25$ se doit d'être sur la coche. À 35$ ce ne l'était pas.
L'ambiance est très feutrée & accueillante & le service était très courtois.
Je suggère d'avoir du sel & poivre sur la table.
Peu de choix de bière mais plusieurs cocktails & vins disponibles.
Very disappointing. Food was below average, not worth the price. Waiting staff lacked attention & care for serving customers. Steak was not cooked to anyone's liking at the table & sauce was horrible. Drinks were not good at all. Do not recommend.

Where do I begin… I came here for my birthday dinner & it was a meh experience ! We were four & the review was unanimous! First of all, it was COLD. Food wise, the french onion soup & the fries were delicious. The salad, the stake & the sauce were very disappointing. The salad dressing very basic, the steak sauce powdery & not tasty & the steak burnt. The front-of-house greeting was very cold, but the girl who served us was very nice (5/5) & listened to all our complaints & asked if she could do anything to improve our experience.
Very disappointed especially after all the good things I've heard about Mignon !
Waiters were so friendly & nice.
Steak one of them was massively overcooked the signature steak
The fillet mignon was basically a leather boot.. sauce was very watery & tasteless.
The burger patty was another leather boot.. uneatable
Mac & cheese was decent
Fries were good
But i mean the main event , the beef was overcooked & tasteless. I was surprised on how you can make a fillet mignon taste this bad.. war crime on the beef..
Réservation faite pour 20h30 - Un long moment avant de simplement se faire dire bonjour par le staff - On nous place tout proche de la porte d'entrée & de la fenêtre (-25 hier soir dehors) - Nous avons passé le repas en manteau d'hiver tellement il faisait froid dans ce coin du restaurant, nous sommes arrivées frigorifiées & repartie de la même façon - Aucun mot, aucun geste, aucune empathie malgré nos remarques & nos gros manteaux sur nous. Si j'avais pu j'aurais mis aussi mes mitaines & ma tuque.
Service 0* des demandes non répondues: pains sensé être servi avec la soupe voir avant en attendant (il est arrivé à la moitié du plat principal & vraiment mauvais). Une jeune femme antipathique, qui traine la patte & discute en arrière avec notre panière de pain. Peu de sourire & une attitude pas agréable.
La soupe ou plutôt la sauce (liquide) bonne en goût mais c'était un shot de soupe & non un vrai bol de soupe. En plus elle était tiède-froide nous qui comptions nous réchauffer avec....
La prise de commande a été très longue, environ 25minutes avant d'avoir de l'eau & de passer commande.
Le vin est arrivé après la soupe....
Le plat ? Du sel, du sel, du sel. La sauce est plutôt bonne en goût mais texture poudreuse (faite maison ou sachet ?) & la viande'ok' malgré une cuisson pas comme demandée.
Demande de sauce qui arrive quand la moitié des frites ont été mangé.
& la mousse au chocolat en dessert ? Immangeable. Ce n'est pas précisé sur le menu qu'elle venait avec un coulis de fruit rouge par dessus, dommage.
Tout ça pour 49$ hors taxes & hors boissons....(menu table d'hôte= soupe + steak/frite + dessert)
A 23h, & suite au paiement, elle nous dit juste'on ferme la faut partir'. J'ai bu la fin de mon vin cul sec. L'heure c'est l'heure & je le comprend y'a une fermeture à faire mais encore une fois tout est dans la façon de dire les choses :)
Bref si le service avait été bon & sans faute j'aurais rien dit, ni écrit un avis ici malgré une bouffe médiocre, à cela s'ajoute 2h de repas en manteaux d'hiver. HONTEUX en plein mois de janvier.
Mtl a Table - great steak & frites. Crab cake with dill sauce was delicious. Salad was excellent. Cocktails are very special & service was charming. Nice laid back vibe to this place.
Super yummy food, had the service for Mtlatable, very nice menu. The red pepper hot sauce was great for people who like good heat. Also had a custom cocktail made by Shay, & it was delicious. Will definitely be coming back, great service!
Un tartare avec sa sauce incroyablement bon, des frites dignes de ce nom (étant belges nous savons ce que c'est que des bonnes frites), service impeccable & sympathique 😊
The menu is great & the food was also good. The only reason it did not get 4 stars is the fact our salads where swimming in dressing & the steak frites was also floating in sauce. Hopefully, a one of issue. Otherwise, great little spot.
