Overall, guests note Mignon Steak offers a warm, lively atmosphere, tasty steak frites, solid fries, and a well regarded drinks program, while the attentive and friendly service is repeatedly praised. The bar and oysters are often highlighted as a great start to the evening, and the set menu options are valued for good portions and value. Some evenings, service is slower and course timing can be uneven, and a few steaks arrive overcooked or underseasoned, with occasional cold dining rooms or seating discomfort mentioned. Nevertheless, the combination of good meat, strong vibe, and personable staff leads many to say they would return for another meal or a special occasion.
We were a group of 3, called to confirm a table for 9:30 to eat. They accepted our reservation & once we arrived they warned us the kitchen would be closing in 15 mins. We explained that we were ready to order & the waiter told us he would be right back. 30 mins later he returned to our table & told us that the kitchen was closed, he then proceed to give us attitude & kicked us out, saying & I quote,'good luck finding a restaurant that is open at this hour in old mtl'…. We found several. Thanks for the excellent service, we won't be coming back.

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.
Nous étions un groupe réuni pour célébrer un événement important & nous avions apporté un gâteau. À notre arrivée, un homme nous a intercepté sans nous accueillir pour nous dire qu'on ne pouvait pas apportez de gâteau. Nous étions vraiment confuses car aucun restaurant ne nous a jamais refusé cela & qu'il n'est mentionné nulpart qu'on avakt pas le droit d'en apportez. Ensuite, cet homme nous dit qu'on aurait dû les avertir à l'avance si on voulait apportez un gâteau. Après de nombreux back & forth il fini par nous dire qu'on peut le garder mais qu'il fallait payer un extra. Bref, la nourriture & les boissons nee sont vraiment pas à la hauteur d'un steakhouse au Vieux-Montréal.
J'ai commandé le boeuf tartare en repas. Beaucoup de tire-babine, de gras & autres pièces de viandes non comestibles dans la préparation. Pire tartare que j'ai mangé dans ma vie.
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.
Nous avons été assez déçus par notre expérience dans ce restaurant. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons demandé à changer de table, mais la serveuse nous a répondu que celle juste à côté était « réservée ». Or, personne ne s'y est installé durant tout notre repas. D'autant plus qu'il semble, d'après le site, qu'il n'est même pas possible de réserver une table précise. Le plus surprenant est qu'un autre serveur a proposé à des clients arrivés après nous de choisir librement leur table. Cela donne vraiment l'impression que la décision dépend simplement du bon vouloir de la serveuse, sans raison valable.
L'espace entre les tables est également très limité : nous étions vraiment collés aux autres clients, ce qui nuit au confort. J'ai aussi trouvé qu'il faisait assez froid dans la salle, ce qui n'a pas aidé à rendre le moment agréable. Plusieurs personnes au bar gardé leurs manteaux.
Côté cuisine, les frites semblaient clairement surgelées, comparables à ce que l'on peut trouver dans n'importe quel autre établissement, ce qui est décevant. Le seul point positif de ce repas reste le steak, qui était bon.
En résumé, un service inégal, un confort discutable & une qualité de plats en-dessous de nos attentes. Nous ne reviendrons pas.
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.
