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.
We were looking for a place to feel like home & hit the jackpot. It appeared most folks dining were locals. We were in the mood for a burger & the food did not disappoint. The cocktails were on point & the service could not have been better. We knew we were at home when the bartender came & sat beside us to share a shot & talk for 5 minutes. This will be our first stop on our next trip.
Staff were super polite & friendly, steak was well made & service was really good. Definitely suggest the soup, it was wonderful!!
Had a great experience!
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.
We went here for my partner's birthday dinner & tried the set. Steak was drowing in sauce which overpowered it abit too much & it was too rich that we got tired of it pretty quickly. I noted on my reservation that this was a birthday celebration & requested for candles during our dessert as a surprise for my boyfriend & never had it - could have let us know if it wasnt available. Honestly was pretty disappointed at that but we didnt let it ruin our night. As we paid, I tipped 10$ on card as I was hoping to tip the rest in cash - we basically maxed out our credit card for the day. The guy basically told us with a passive aggressive tone that'for next time, 15% is the minimum because at this point, were only receiving 5%'. His attitude totally ruined our night & ended up not leaving the cash tip as planned. Additionally, the soup of the day had nuts & no one specified this to us when we ordered - thankfully it was just a mild reaction afterwards but best if informed in advance. We will definitely not be recommending this restaurant to the guests that we have as we both work in the Tourism industry.

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!
Popped in for some buck a shuck oysters, grilled shrimp & some drinks. Food was amazing & very reasonably priced. Atmosphere is super welcoming but the thing that stood out the most was the service. Montreal restaurants aren't really known for great service but this place is an anomaly. If you want great food & genuine GREAT service Mignon is the place!
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.
