Came here due to the reviews with the other location, but chose this one out of convenience. Service was terrible, drinks took 20+ minutes & we were brought the wrong food item. Looks like the manager came over to apologize & provided the wrong food item on the house. Both tables next to us were also complaining, one of the tables were waiting 1 hour for their clams & steak, the other table also waiting 45 minutes for their food as well.
When we asked for the bill, the server was going to charge us for the incorrect food item. When we mentioned we were told it was on the house, she responded with'but it's on the machine.' This is fitting granted that all three employees were chit chatting & on their phones.
Location is great, but I would not recommend this place to anyone visiting Old Montreal.
I had a lovely dinner. I thought the steak was well presented & oysters were great, too. The fries could have had some garnish on top or had done something to make the plate feel a bit more elevated. Otherwise, I had a great dinner.

I had been to this location before & had an acceptable experience, but this visit was extremely disappointing.
The service was, without question, the worst part of the evening. Our server was rude, impatient, & visibly annoyed whenever we asked for anything. My son has a limited appetite due to a medical condition, so we asked for bread a couple of times (not to mention some of the apps we ordered like Escargot required to be consumed with bread), & each request was met with eye-rolling & an attitude that made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. From the moment we sat down, we felt unwelcome.
For a restaurant at this price point, I also expect the server to explain the menu or mention the daily specials. None of that happened. Instead, we were repeatedly pressured about ordering, which made the entire meal uncomfortable rather than enjoyable.
The food was mediocre at best. I ordered the steak filet & specifically asked for the chef's recommended doneness. The server recommended medium rare, so that's what I ordered. The steak arrived well done (super dry) & had to be sent back. My replacement didn't arrive until about 30 minutes later, by which time everyone else at the table had already finished eating. No apology beyond taking it back, no manager checking in, & no gesture of goodwill or compensation for the mistake.
We also requested separate bills, but the appetizers were placed on the wrong bill, creating even more confusion at the end of the meal.
The sea bass was just average, nothing memorable, especially considering the price.
A great meal is about more than just food. Service matters just as much, & unfortunately this restaurant failed badly in that respect. I understand this is a busy, tourist-heavy area, but that's not an excuse for poor hospitality or lack of professionalism. Also, the washrooms were broken so we had to use the neighbor restaurant's restroom.
I've had a much better experience at other Mignon's location. Based on this visit, however, I would not return to this Old Montréal location & cannot recommend it.
This restaurant has an upstairs dining room & a downstairs bar with great atmosphere for cocktails & dining. Friendly staff & excellent cocktails to go with steak frites.
Meilleur tartare du Vieux-Montréal, & le steak-frites est vraiment bon. Grosse déception du côté du service... Le personnel était beaucoup trop inattentif. Si je retourne, ce sera pour emporter.
The dinner here was truly exceptional! The service was excellent & professional throughout the F1 race weekend. The Mignon steak was cooked to perfection as per my request & accompanied by a delectable sauce. The fries were not overly salty, & the escargot was bursting with umami & flavor. The drinks were reasonably priced & offered a wide variety of options. All the food arrived at the table at a reasonable pace, & I will definitely be returning.
The service at Mignon Steak Frites was exceptionally friendly 🌞. Our server immediately complimented our attempt to speak French 🇫🇷 & struck up a conversation 😊. We only stopped for drinks 🍹, but the menu looked very tempting 🍽?. The couple next to us had oysters 🦪, which also caught our attention.
My boyfriend had a beer 🍺 & I had a Britney Spritz 🍸. The server brought out the Britney Spritz while doing an impression of the singer 🎤, which tickled me ✨. We enjoyed both drinks while sitting in the sun on the terrace ☀?. The warm service, relaxed atmosphere, & enjoyable drinks made for a lovely visit 🌿.
