Reviews of Mignon Steak describe a mix of experiences, with many praising well cooked signature steaks, flavorful fries, and tasty soups and desserts, though a few meals are noted as overcooked, underseasoned, or cold. The ambiance is frequently highlighted as cozy and inviting or luxurious, with fans of the old town setting and the bar area reporting a warm vibe and strong cocktails. Service is a major talking point, described as excellent, attentive, and friendly by many, while some visits mention slow timing, uneven attentiveness, or temperature issues in the dining room. Value and pricing are mixed too, with table d'hote options and some meals seen as good value, while portions or certain dishes may feel small or overpriced to others. Overall, Mignon Steak appears to provide a memorable night out with high points for food and atmosphere, but experiences vary, suggesting it is worth trying with reasonable expectations around service speed and consistency.
Unfortunately excellent atmosphere that doesn't match service & good quality. The steak we ordered came back well done despite ordering it medium. We were not extended a courtesy of being given a discount they charged us for even the house salad & didn't even apologize. Sadly I don't recommend
Très belle découverte grâce à mon parrain !
Nous étions 4 & nous avons passé un excellent moment : cuisine délicieuse, ambiance chaleureuse & service au top.
Je recommande vivement !

Beautiful little restaurant in the old town area. Signature Steak was perfectly cooked to how i requested (med-rare), & the dark chocolate mouse was to die for. Would highly recommend.
My husband & I popped into Mignon (in Vieux Montreal) on a cold evening just by chance. We sat at the bar & were welcomed warmly by Pablo who mixed up some stellar cocktails. I would highly recommend stopping by for a bevvies.

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.
Merci à Pablo le barman qui était divertissant & très sympathique. L'ambiance était aussi sympathique & agréable. La nourriture était très bonne également je recommande ce resto
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.

Delicious drinks by Pablo! All I had to do was ask him to make his specialty & it is now my Montreal staple - highly recommend. Food was wonderful & atmosphere was a vibe ✨
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.
This is a small wonderful restaurant with wonderful staff serving excellent food for a fair price. I had 12 oysters & steak/frites with a salad. Highly recommend it. Truly superb.
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.

We are in the Negroni Bar (same menu as restaurant). Food, wine & service were all excellent. Wine list is great. We had the olives, salmon tartare & mignon burger - all were excellent. Service was exceptional - a very interpersonal experience. Relaxed & very personal vibe in the lounge - highly recommended.
Great mignon steak, very soft & tender, great sauce, surprisingly the fries were much better then I thought. Very flavourful. The machine & cheese is very nice to try. Would recommend to come with a group. The basement is the Negroni lounge. Very comfortable seating, nice atmosphere 👌 no photo of the steak cause it's too good to leave anything left 😀 ordered a martini too. Very nicely done.
cozy atmosphere & warm decor
Delicious i loved the pepper sauce that arrived with my filet mignon.
I am very satisfied & thrilled to have found this gem. I highly recommend Mignon Stake
to anyone looking for a great dining experience. I can't wait to return!
I high recommend the grilled shrimp, beef tartare, steak frites of course & truffle Mac & cheese. Also if you're a martini lover, the red velvet martini with blue cheese olive is insane 🔥🔥
We hosted a large group in the Negroni room downstairs & the ambiance was fantastic. The bartenders were so friendly & talented, & we were in love with the happy hour $1 oysters! Highly recommend for an intimate & vibrant party!
