Today, in its new location, Moishes is more dedicated than ever to re-affirming authenticity, consistency, and culinary excellence for generations to come.
Moishes is described by guests as a premier Montreal steakhouse offering consistently superb food, impeccable service, and a refined yet comfortable atmosphere. Reviews highlight perfectly cooked steaks—ribeye, New York strip, filet mignon—along with standout sides like mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, polenta, and the famous Monte Carlo potatoes, and notable starters such as oysters Rockefeller and a crisp Caesar. The wine list and cocktails receive praise, and desserts like mille-feuille are a frequent highlight. The new Square Victoria location is widely admired for its beauty and ambiance, while some longtime patrons miss certain nostalgic touches from the old venue. Service is repeatedly described as attentive, professional, and friendly, with staff going above and beyond during celebrations and special occasions, though a few visits note slower pacing during peak times or occasional inconsistencies. Valet parking is appreciated, and many guests consider Moisches one of the best steakhouse experiences in Montreal, likely to return for special occasions, business dinners, and celebrations.

A very refined steakhouse with an elegant atmosphere & excellent service. The ribeye was outstanding perfectly cooked, flavorful, & clearly of high quality. The desserts were also a highlight; the chocolate praline cake was exceptional, easily one of the best I've had in a long time.
That said, this restaurant is definitely on the expensive side. For a steakhouse, the prices are quite high, & you are essentially paying a premium for the quality of the meat. Our bill came to around $400 for two people. Given the price point, it would have been appreciated if sides, such as potatoes, were included rather than ordered separately.
Overall, despite the cost, the food quality, service, & ambiance were excellent, & the experience was very enjoyable. I would return for a special occasion, knowing what to expect in terms of pricing.
Second time going in just a few weeks. Washrooms & restaurant were impeccably clean.
The service practice is amazing but my last visit fell a little short in way of time to receive the food. We were a table of 8 & the restaurant was busy.
They provided a couple desserts to help offset the experience & it was well received.
Food quality is amazing. Loaded Monte Carlo is a must. Key word is loaded. They are hands down top three steak houses in Montreal. A must try for locals & visitors.
Always satisfied by the exceptional quality of the restaurant. The consistently high standards in cuisine, service, & ambiance make every visit a memorable experience. Highly recommended for those seeking a premium dining option.
All I have to say it's amazing !
It's been a long time since I had a great experience like this in a restaurant.
My only 4/5 it's the atmosphere & that's because of the lightning changement I wasn't a fan.
The food was excellent. Good quality from the appetizer to dessert it was a pure delish. Good selection of wine & champagne.
Overall this experience wouldn't have been that great without JEAN-LUC ! A waiter so kind, thoughtful & really funny. We had a blast with him. The suggestion he made …chef kiss I will say.
I highly recommend being served by JEAN-LUC & no one else.
I had high expectations for Moishes given its reputation, but unfortunately, our experience last night was underwhelming. My boyfriend & I both ordered the New York Strip-mine was the 10oz, & the waiter recommended the 16oz for him, which turned out to be far too much. He only ate half & we asked for it to go-twice. Sadly, the leftover steak never made it back to us, & we were handed the bill without it.
To add to the disappointment, my 10oz steak was nearly half fat, which made the portion feel even smaller. For a restaurant known for its quality, this was not what we expected.
It's a bit frustrating that at an upscale restaurant, you still have to keep an eye on the details yourself instead of simply relaxing & enjoying a good meal. We left disappointed & unfortunately won't be rushing back.

Had the $49 3 course lunch. Definitely the best $49 I've ever spent - magnificent prawns, steak, tartare, creme brullee, & cheescake. Literally can't go wrong for the high quality food you're getting
I celebrated a BIG birthday at Moishe's yesterday. 23MAR25. I had made the reservation 5 weeks earlier. It was a Sunday. After our drink order was taken it was downhill from there. No one ever came back to take our order & so I flagged down someone who I think was a manager, who happily took our order. Although there were many mistakes as he didn't write it down. It took an inordinate amount of time & it was fairly quiet on a Sunday night. The steak was fantastic, apart from that there not much that I can say that is positive. Here are a few of the issues. My wife had to flag down someone for another glass of wine, they were slow on re-filling empty water glasses, the Caesar slaps had no beef bacon bits because we were not asked if we wanted any (it's on the menu for an extra $9), & they brought the wrong shrimp dish. We were never sure who are server was. Someone came by & said Bon Appetite just as we're finishing our meal. Months ago Management STUPIDLY shared a screen shot of how they had me categorized. REGULAR & DIFFICULT. How insulting for someone who has frequented the restaurant over 6 times. My wife hit the nail on the head. INCONSISTENT SERVICE. They managed to screw up my birthday dinner last year too. As my cousin said. Time tor try a NEW STEAK restaurant. I don't now if they were understaffed or had too many walk ins. But there is NO excuse for POOR service & what is supposedly a quality restaurant. It should be consistent whatever day you are a guest there. Perhaps they are living off their Legacy. Comping me the shrimp since they brought the wrong ones, fries, pepper or sauce & wine does NOT make up for making a special occasion less the special. Cost is NOT the issue. I will say that the manger who we did speak too, Jordan, agreed that we had poor service. We eat out every Saturday save special occasions on other days. This was one of the worst experiences. If you want a MEMORABLE MEAL, skip it. Bad SERVICE detracts from everything.
Moishes is a top-tier steakhouse that truly delivers on quality & experience. From the warm, inviting ambiance to the impeccable service, everything feels refined yet welcoming. The menu offers a great selection, with perfectly cooked steaks that are rich, flavorful, & expertly charred. The sides, like creamy mashed potatoes & sautéed mushrooms, complement the dishes beautifully. The starters, including fresh coleslaw & warm bread, set the tone for an excellent meal. Pair it with a great wine, & you're in for a memorable dining experience. A must-visit for any steak lover in Montreal!
Excellent first experience in the recently reopened iconic steakhouse. So long as the standards & quality remain high it we will be returning. Merci beaucoup.

Perfect experience! Great restaurant for any type of occasion. Every dish we had was full of flavour & the products used felt very fresh & were of great quality. I wish we had more room in our stomach to try others dishes (the portions are also generous!!). As for the service, everyone who catered to us was excellent. Special thank you to Valérie for making my mom's birthday special.
Elegant & chic restaurant. Excellent quality food & great service as well. The ambiance is great! Good for business meetings, to romantic night out or a party in the back room that you can reserve. There is valet parking. Nice drink choice, & the food is top notch.
This is a very interesting restaurant. My wife & I went here twice when visiting Montreal. The steaks are great & the side dishes are also super tasty. Unfortunately, the second time we went here, the beef tartare tasted completely different: it was suddenly super spicy. This was two day after visiting for the first time, so this points towards a lack of consistency & quality control in the kitchen. Also, on our second visit, I ordered the Kansas Strip. I talked with the waiter about it before ordering & when it appeared, I was dismayed to see that it had a big bone in it. However, when it comes to drinks, the people working here are top notch! I had a great conversation with Max about a White Russian - a fairly boring drink, unless you take steps to elevate it. Max created a beautiful White Russian for me & this made a perfect end to my visit in Montreal.
Services de qualité, les employés sont courtois & attentif aux besoins des clients. Bonne nourriture & bonne musique, belle ambiance. // Quality services, employees are courteous & attentive to customer needs. Good food & good music, nice atmosphere
My recent dining experience at Moishes in Montreal was less than satisfactory, despite a few highlights. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly greeted by the staff, & the ambiance of the restaurant was truly exceptional. The atmosphere was incredible, contributing to an initially promising evening Although it was not a particularly busy night, our seating arrangement was less than ideal. Our party of five was placed at a standard table, despite several empty circular tables behind us that remained unoccupied throughout our meal. This decision detracted from our comfort & overall experience. Service was disappointingly slow, & we did not have the benefit of a consistent server. The constant change in servers contributed to a sense of disorganization. It took a full twenty minutes after being seated before our food order was taken. Additionally, our drinks always seemed to take an unusually long time to arrive. When our main courses were eventually brought to the table, there was another oversight: no steak knives were provided. Three of us had to wait for ten minutes, while our food cooled, before we could properly enjoy our meals. This was particularly frustrating. As for the food itself, it was a mixed experience. I ordered the 8 oz filet mignon, which unfortunately was tough & chewy, far from the tender cut I had anticipated. The Monte Carlo potato was overly salty. However, the mushrooms were delicious, the wild grilled shrimp were excellent, & the steak tartare was a standout dish. Our group found the meals generally satisfactory but, having dined at establishments like Gibby's & Ruth's Chris, we felt the food & service did not live up to the hype or our expectations. Additionally, we noticed that the table next to us also experienced poor service. It was someone's birthday, & their dessert order was forgotten. Although the dessert was eventually comped, no apology was offered, which only compounded the negative impression. In summary, while the initial welcome & certain dishes were highlights, the overall service & inconsistent quality of the food at Moishes left much to be desired. For a restaurant of its reputation, the experience did not meet our expectations.
