My besties & I were craving a steak & this location was close to where we were staying & had great reviews . They did not disappoint we had the steak & fries & it was perfect. We still talk about it we will definitely return .
My friend & I went for the three course meal deal. We had the carrot soup, steak with fries, & crème brûlée. All three items were really good. The soup was creamy, the steak was an amazing medium rare, & the crème brûlée was perfect.
The steak is definitely on the smaller side but the meal in its entirety is very filling & they give you a lot of fries. Definitely worth the money!

The experience was amazing, I loved the vibe, service is excellent! Omar was so friendly & professional explaining everything & suggesting.
We ordered the course of soup, salad, steak meal,fries & dessert, everything was so delicious & the soup was exceptional!
They gave me a cake for my bday as well
Will definitely go again!
The price is also so good.
Got the Table d'Hôte menu & a couple of wine glasses, the soup starter was very tasty & interesting, it was a cauliflour & leek cream soup. The steak frites was definitely the best course with the fries being absolutely insane. The steak was savory & the sauce was delicious. The dessert was not the best since they ran out of Creme Brulée. Very vibey, the food did take a lot of time between courses.
I went in because the place looked quant & inviting.
Lesson to self…read reviews!
This was probably one of the worst meals I've paid 50+ bucks for…no way that was fillet mignon!…toughest piece of meat ever…was actually wondering if it was mutton!…& I'm sure the sauce was a can of some kind of campbells soup…& if I wanted McDonald's fries…(at least McDonald's serves them hot) I would have went to McDonald's.
The salad….come on! Put some effort into it.
Had a 1700 reservation for 6. First, if its cold out stay away, we had to keep our jackets on because everytime someone comes into the restaurant or leaves there is a very healthy breeze of cold air that comes in. It is not pleasant.
There was an issue with the temperature of almost all our dishes, the onion soups were sent back because they were warm at best & when we got them back it was barely better. Beef tartare was good , Mac & Cheese was tiny & soupy. The fries were good, of the four steaks ordered all were overcooked & 1 was tough. The house sauce is delicious. The mussels were good but the portion is lacking compared to similar places such as Lemeac, Holder & Brasserie Bernard. The salmon dish was well cooked & tasty.
As my reviews of of other restaurants can attest, I am not super critical of most restaurants i go to. This unfortunately was not a good experience. Quality was lacking on many fronts tonight. The experience was underwhelming at best. Maybe it was an off night.

The steak frites special was quite good as well as the cocktails. I recommend their lychee martini. The moules frites were also quite nice & fresh. However, service was a little slow & could've been a little bit more attentive & friendly. We had to ask for multiple things that were still forgotten (the usual bread that comes with the meal, knives etc). It is to note that food took quite long & we were served well after lots of tables. That being said, restaurants can have slower nights. The interior is lovely, but being by the door will have you very cold during the winter as it opens frequently. I would still give them another visit in the future. The steak was enjoyable but do note the portions are small for the price.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had a great experience dining at the bar! The food was delicious, & the atmosphere was really welcoming. A special shout-out to Omar, the bartender - he was incredibly friendly, attentive, & made the whole experience even better. His service was outstanding. I'll definitely be coming back!
Stopped in for drinks to escape the rain & were blown away by the atmosphere, cocktails, & service. Pablo was fantastic-attentive, friendly, & made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this spot! We'll definitely be back next time we're in Old Montreal.
We came for the MTLàTABLE event, which offered a four-course menu.
My mushroom bruschetta was great, but I was surprised that it was such a small portion. My boyfriend ordered the crab cake, which came out the size of a toonie. I usually don't like crab, but decided to try a bite & couldn't even tell that it was supposed to be a crab cake because it just tasted like old fryer oil. Could not taste crab.
Our next course was just the house salad. The dressing was extremely mild & we could barely taste it. The lettuce pieces were huge & hard to eat without cutting it up… which is not what I want from a basic salad. The walnuts were the best part…
The main was steak frites which is usually one of my favourite things to order. The fries were clearly just out of a bag & looked/tasted the same as what I'd get at a cheap chain restaurant. I ordered a medium-rare steak, which is what I always order & was surprised to see that about 1/3 of the steak was totally gray inside. The very middle could pass for medium, but it was overcooked. My boyfriend's steak was also quite overdone, & we alerted a member of staff. I was impressed that they took it back to the kitchen immediately without asking questions (does this happen a lot?), but was then talked down to by a different member of staff who I assume was the manager. He explained that he had a look at our steaks & they looked fine, & the kitchen uses thermometers to determine doneness. Okay…. My steak was still gray & not medium rare. I mentioned that we do, indeed, go to many steakhouses & know what a medium-rare sirloin looks like (which is not gray anywhere, & bright pink in the middle) & the waiter recommended that I should have ordered a rare if I wanted that. It felt condescending, & I did not appreciate it. I had never ordered a rare steak in my life, but he decided that he would tell the kitchen that I wanted it rare. On the second try, it came out fine but was definitely medium-rare, not rare. I really liked the sauce that came on it, but it was overall just a fine steak & nothing special.
Finally, we got cheesecake for dessert which was alright. There was a bit of strawberry sauce on the very top, but definitely not enough to add anything. The cheesecake was no better than what I'd expect from a grocery store one.
If you're a tourist who is unfamiliar with upscale steakhouses, you will probably be satisfied here. I assume that is their target audience based on the mediocre food.
Staff were super polite & friendly, steak was well made & service was really good. Definitely suggest the soup, it was wonderful!!
Had a great experience!

There was a mixup with our reservation so we ended up seated at the bar which turned out to be a treat. The bartender was friendly ands we had a lovely time!
I have been there about 4 times now, it's often a hit or miss, depends on the day. The food is tasty enough however the fries air on the salty side but are crispy & thin if you like that, steak came out burnt on the outside 2 out 4 times however the sauce is heavenly, the profiterole was also burnt once on the bottom, oysters are very small compared to other restaurants so not really worth the price.
Service is quite slow. It took three & half hours with a reservation for the 3 course host table, yet there were not busy as there was only 2 people at a table that already had their dishes when I came & one person at the bar.
Our last night in town we wanted a nice place to eat & found this little gem. Great food, friendly staff, & in a nice location. Would recommend this for a nice dinner in Montreal.
Table ordered 2 steaks medium rare. The steaks were not the same sized & the smaller one was medium-well. The steak was covered in sauce so it took a few bites to realize it was overcooked. Brought it up to waitress, told us we would be charged extra because some of it was eaten (literally 2 pieces)...
We were served water & drinks at the beginning. Waitress never game back to fill our glasses up or to offer more drinks. Glasses were filled back up when she brought the bill.
Just an overall weird & negligent experience. I have friends who came here & had a great time, which is why we chose this place for our anniversary. I don't know if this was a one-off negative experience but I don't think I'll be coming back to find out, there are many steakhouses in old port that are better suited.
