Reviews present Mignon Steak as a place with excellent steak frites and a warm atmosphere, where the table d'hôte offers strong value and many guests find the dining experience memorable, even though some visits were tempered by cold greetings, slow pacing or inconsistencies in doneness and portions; overall the venue is praised for attentive, knowledgeable staff, a cozy terrace and a welcoming vibe, with several guests planning to return for the menu highlights and specials.
Our server was lovely, the drinks & oysters were delicious. My friends really enjoyed their steak frites. However, I ordered the asparagus salad as it is one of the only vegetarian options on the menu. & it was genuinely one of the most disappointing vegetarian dishes I've ever been served. It was essentially a pile of unseasoned, wet vegetables on a smear of hummus. It was not worth the cost. I would strongly recommend that you consider replacing your vegetarian option. An actual salad or adding back a vegetarian steak replacement for the steak frites would be much better options. I am not usually one to write feedback, but I wanted to share my opinion. Thank you.
L'odeur des poubelles à côté de la terrasse est dégoûtante! Les crevettes ne goûtaient absolument rien. Juste 2 choix de desserts super lourds. Salade aux asperges minuscule pour 22$ & aucune légume pour accompagner le plat Terre & mer... sinon le thon tataki, la tartare au saumon étaient exquis, le steak bon mais pas besoin de sauce & surtout pas autant.

The steak was amazing, cooked to perfection & tender. Sauce was good too if a bit lackluster. Could definitely make it a bit more flavourful. Service was excellent. Inside was very loud.
Il n'y a pas beaucoup de restaurants "steak-frites" à Montréal depuis la fermeture de "l'Entrecôte St-Jean" sur Peel. Celui-ci s'y rapproche de plus en plus. C'est ma troisième fois. Toujours aussi bon. Par contre le plat était un peu froid. Mais on va y retourner.
Excellent steak, butternut squash soup, & Rose Margarita, however i finished with an Old Fashioned which might have been the worst one I've ever had, bleh.
I liked the steak & really enjoyed the soup. The salad was very bland, lacked flavour, the fries were too much "McDonad's fries", not good enough for a $50 meal, they should be more Parisian style, a bit more crunchy, instead they were rather soggy & lacked a lot of salt. The steak itself was really good but there was too little sauce. The dessert was really underwhelming, could barely taste the chocolate & the inside of the choux à la crème was, although creamy, not flavourful enough, we couldn't taste the vanilla or anything else for that matte
Great service, very friendly, not too long, great drinks / wine. Fries are sooo good. Salad soup & dessert as well.
Appetizers ok but missing taste, except the sauces were really good.
Vegan steak did not like, tastes like vegan meat loaf from the groceries.
It's an ‘okay' spot. Probably won't go back there as often as I had hoped to at first glance.
The room looks cozy & super inviting. They've definitely done a great job redesigning it.
The service is excellent. The staff is pleasant, helpful & very courteous.
The drinks are disappointing, especially the cocktails. They're working with a ‘twist' on classics, resulting in major flops (I definitely would not recommend the dirty martini twist). What's even more concerning is that the resto doesn't have a dedicated bartender: the person making the cocktail is rushing them in between waiting tables & loading dishwashers. That's the sign of a poor cocktail right there.
The steak is definitely not ‘mignon'. It was okay, a solid 6/10. Hiding under a lake of peppercorn sauce, one struggles to get an honest taste. But that's what they're going for. Also, there's way too much fries on the plate, making you wonder if they're overcompensating for something.
Dessert was also underwhelming.
I also found the oysters gravely mispriced ($4 a pop is aggressive to claim without backing it up with quality).
Bref, an entrée, main plate & two glasses of wine should not cost as much as it did considering the quality.
Bonne cuisine, bon steak, bon martinis, bon service. Seul bémol, les assiettes ne sont pas chaudes & le plat refroidit donc rapidement. Simple à corriger.

Choix de menu très restreint.
Le steak était tendre, par contre, il était noyé sous la sauce qui était granuleuse( comme trop épaissie par la farine)
Table de 2 en y ajoutant 1 chaise quand il y avait d'aures places de libre.
Le service correct mais sans plus, j'ai dû verser a quelques reprises le vin.
Ça ne valait pas 219$. Je me sens généreuse avec mon 3*
Nous n'y retournerons pas, dommage
Excellent! Pour les nostalgiques de l'Entrecôte St-Jean: le steak, la sauce, les frites sont pareilles! Noix de Grenoble dans la salade aussi. Sauce au chocolat sur la profiterole tout à fait authentique!
I had the steak meal. The fries where McDonalds fries that were fried in beef fat, good but nothing too special. The cut of the meat was good, but the sauce has the tendency to be a bit chalky, & extermly fatty which then coats your mouth in fat, this was not really pleasant. The appetizer was good, nothing special.
Pas de doute, ce steak frites est délicieux. Mais n'allons pas croire que l'élève surpasse le maître (Entrecôte Saint-Jean)! Tout cependant n'est pas que dans la sauce : le steak est d'une excellente qualité & les frites, parfaites. Quant au lieu, le resto est bien mignon, comme son nom, mais très bruyant. Si vous vouliez un tête-à-tête en amoureux, pas la place. Le garçon qui nous a servis (nous étions 4) mérite tous les éloges. Chapeau! Va-t-on revenir? Assurément.
I would have loved to give this restaurant 5 stars. Both of the 1st courses (the polenta & the charred cabbage) were amazing, as were both of the 2nd courses (the salad & the cream of broccoli soup). Equally terrific was the French bread, the fries, the wine, both desserts (the profiterole & the coffee creme brulee), & the coffee, plus service was knowledgeable & friendly. In fact, everything was 5- star & amongst the best I have ever experience., expect most unfortunately for the steak itself. I don't know whether it was the cut of meat or the manner in which it was cooked, but it was not nearly as flavourful or as tender as the steak I was served when I came to the restaurant earlier this year. Not only did I think that the steak was bad, but so did my 2 other dining companions. Perhaps it had something to do with this restaurant's participation in the Montreal a Table promotion this particular week? Given my previous experience & how wonderful everything else was, however, I will be returning to give the restaurant another chance. One last word of advice, the restaurant is fairly noisy, so you most definitely have to elevate your voice well beyond a normal conversational tone
Belle ambiance, beau décor bien pensé, tout est bon, belles présentations, cuisson du steak tel que demandé, une sauce divine!!! Un service impeccable
seul bémol, peut être, carte des vins débute à 60$ mais.... faut bien se gâter dans la vie.
