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.
It was my wife & I first time in Montreal & we were told to check out Old Port & stumbled into Mignon & had the experience of a lifetime! The hospitality, food, environment & courtesy made thr experience second-to-none. We ordered the Steak Frites which are arguably the best (coming from New York City). This restaurant is 10 out of 10 for the hospitality & intention alone - special thanks to Valentin, Pierre, & Danny for making this one for the ages. An incredible welcome to Montreal.
My wife & I had dinner at Mignon Steak Vieux-Montréal, & unfortunately, our experience was far from satisfactory. Despite making a reservation at a steakhouse, we were bizarrely asked if we were vegetarians upon arrival. This felt out of place & left us wondering why that was necessary information when we'd clearly chosen a steakhouse. The service continued to disappoint. When we asked for salt for our fries, the waiter condescendingly asked if we had tasted them first - incredibly patronizing. We also ordered a side of mushrooms & onions, which was forgotten & only brought out well after our meals had been served. As a result, I had to watch my dinner get cold while waiting for the side dish. Adding insult to injury, we couldn't help but notice that the waiter was far more attentive to the table next to us, frequently checking on them & ensuring their dishes arrived in the order they preferred. This stark contrast in service made our experience even more frustrating. Though we were offered a free dessert as compensation, we declined, expecting that the mishandled side dish would be removed from our bill in lieu of the dessert. Unfortunately, it wasn't, which was a disappointing end to an already subpar dining experience. The entire evening felt condescending & strange, & we left feeling very unimpressed. We would not recommend this restaurant to others based on our experience.

The place is really nice, the vibe, the music it was on point. Staff were super friendly & helpful. Food was good but not the greatest, my steak was a little overcooked, good flavour, the sauce is the star there. Fries were really nice specially with the steak sauce. I upgraded to be half salad half fries, not worth it. It ended up being 2 pieces of lettuce like you see in the picture. I got the Crème brûlée for dessert, the flavour & presentation were good, the crust on top needed more sugar for that classic initial crack. Food needs to improve a notch to align with the place & price you pay.
Mignon Steakhouse in Montreal is a real gem! The atmosphere is inviting, & their steak frites are to die for. Plus, they've got a great selection of fresh seafood. The staff is super attentive, making sure every moment is just perfect. & the best part? It's a bang for your buck! Whether you're into steak or seafood, Mignon is the place to be for an unforgettable dining experience!
went with my family (4) for a graduation & heard a lot of good things about the steak frite so we wanted to try it out. We waited an hour for our food & when it was served, the steak was cold. The quality was below mediocre. Everything was kinda cold except for the fries. Felt as though everyone around was already getting their orders served within 20 minutes (people who came in after us) & we patiently waited for ours & we were dissatisfied. Nothing special to note except the fries. To note as well, the service was quite frankly not that good. Even though we waited for a long time, our server never came up to us to ask how we were doing & didn't come to tell us that our food would take some time. Hardly any friendly service compared to what customers were receiving. Could not properly enjoy our time at all. Finished our food within an hour & left.
Never had steak frites before this - now an incredibly high standard has been set. Came with a beautiful butter lettuce salad with fresh mint & tarragon. Could not have been more perfect for spring. Oysters were good but upstaged by the main. Wish I'd gone with the chocolate mousse vs. the crème brûlée (it was a bit odd).
Service was good, we were well attended. Steak signature wasn't that good. Location is really nice & atmosphere was good. Price-wise for old port was reasonable, but do not expect a great food.

Very cozy place I really enjoyed the mignon Steak (their special dish) & our server Herminie made our night more special with her exceptional service! I Definitely recommend this place.
My husband & I had a fantastic date night in Montreal, & it was truly an unforgettable experience. Herminie was phenomenal; she welcomed us with such warmth & friendliness. We kicked things off with some delectable, fresh oysters, followed by their tartare & steak frittes, all of which were absolutely delicious! It was a flawless evening, easily a 10/10. We'd definitely love to come back.
Nous avons souper semaine passée au Mignon Steak, nourriture très bonne (steak-frites, saumon & tartare) & cocktails exceptionnels ! Le service était très bien & les serveurs Joséphine & Sam très agréables. Je recommande fortement !!
The food, the staff, the ambiance... it's perfect for dinner with friends or catching up over drinks! Steak frites was delicious. Big thanks to Amelia, Mehdi, Dany & Josephine!

Super service. Wonderful fresh food. You won't be disappointed. The grilled shrimp & steak frites was delicious. The jalapeno cream on fresh oysters was amazing!!!
La nourriture & les cocktails étaient bons. Le service était relativement rapide. La meilleure mouse au chocolat que j'ai mangé!! Le seul point négatif, le steak est arrivé froid.
Accidentally found this gem in Montreal. I was interested in Steak Frittes so decided to pay it a visit. They have oysters special from 5-7pm so we got that for a starter. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare. The fries & the signature sauce were delicious. Friendly & helpful staff & amazingly cozy & relaxed atmosphere. Beautiful music. Great selection of wines & cocktails. Loved the place. Looking forward to coming back again next time I visit Montreal. Thank you for your hospitality.
