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.
Première expérience au Moishes, l'endroit est vraiment sa coche, l'ambiance est excellente! Les drinks sont quand même overpriced, mais sinon la qualité de la nourriture est vraiment high level. J'ai goûté au tartare de boeuf, au short rib de boeuf fumé & au tomahawk wagyu australien, & c'était vraiment solide! Merci à l'équipe du Moishes & au serveur, il était vraiment sharp!
MOISHES!!! This restaurant is the sole reason why I would come back to Montreal. The attentive service, the DETAIL & the thought that is put in to every cocktail, every dish & every step of service. At Moishes, it was all about uncommon care from the moment I walked in. I was greeted with a glass of champagne at the bar; & started off with Oysters Rockefeller. It was absolutely delicious. I was then greeted by David; & we were chatting about my time in Montreal & insisted that he would take care of the wine when I ordered my dinner. Hospitality is the name of the game; & he was wonderful! The bartenders were absolutely TOP TIER. Kind, & had a genuine interest in the guest's experience.
The caviar topped deviled egg, the shrimp cocktail, were great; but, the real star of the show….A Cherry Smoked Short Rib. This was one of the best meals I have ever had in my life. The ambience food service ; everything from start to finish was SUPERB. Well done! I cannot wait to be back.

The restaurant is beautiful, with a great atmosphere, & the service was good throughout the evening. We started with the cauliflower steak appetizer, which was good & well prepared.
For the main course, we had the rib steak. It was cooked to perfection, exactly as ordered, though it wasn't by far the best I've ever had. The side of asparagus was lacking flavor & could have used better seasoning.
Overall, a nice dining experience with good service, but there's some room for improvement.
Nous avons pris l'expérience prime rib signature, nous n'avons pas été déçu. C'était la première fois que j'essayais le nouveau moishes, & bien que l'ambiance soit differente, la qualité du service & du repas reste inchangé. Notre serveuse Kia était fantastique, elle a prit le temps de nous écouter & de nous recommander des options pour les cocktails, le repas & le vin. Donc ajouter un steak avec le prime rib était parfait pour nous qui sommes gros mangeur. Même le fait de mentionner dans la réservation que nous étions la pour l'anniversaire de mon conjoint a été prit en compte avec une carte qui nous attendait sur la table. J'ai adoré, je recommande fortement & prenez en considération que pour une bonne soirée on parle de 200$ par personne.
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.
- Impeccable service. Water was refilled regularly without us having to ask.
- We ordered the lunch table d'hôte, which is only available on weekdays.
- Complimentary bread, coleslaw, & pickles were served at the table.
- The grilled shrimp were really good, with a nice smoky flavor. The tomato salsa was surprisingly good, especially its sweetness.
- The ribeye was really good-slightly under-seasoned, but they provide steak spices on the side, which helps.
- I appreciated the extras: a choice of sauce (I chose pepper sauce), steak spice blend, & garlic confit, which allow for different flavor & texture combinations.
- They let you choose your steak knife, which is a nice touch, although the one I picked was a bit dull.
- The mille-feuille was also excellent.
- Restrooms were very clean, & I liked that they offer several amenities such as mouth rinse, Q-tips, etc.

We had a great time. The food was expertly prepared & tasty as hell! Standout was the smoked short ribs (get them with the mashed potatoes) & the spinach side. Excellent, attentive service. Highly recommended!
I had the rib eye, & it was worth every penny, absolutely delicious & cooked to perfection. The service was excellent, & while the appetizers were good, they were definitely unnecessary because the steak was enormous! Highly recommend this place.
Made reservations, waited 30 minutes to be seated, reason being there was missing plates. Then I asked for half of my steak to be wrapped up & brought home, my waiter said yes & then proceeded to throw it out & blamed it on the busboy who was actually working amazingly the whole night; it was clear that the waiter threw it out & not the busboy. The busboy I believe named'Rumen', was incredible, great service by him. I was offered a free coffee in return. $40 in the garbage & terrible service. Very disappointed with a place like Moishes; an institutional place in Montreal known for their excellent hospitality & service. To be offered a free coffee when half of my $80 ribeye was thrown out is ridiculous.
Incredible food, wonderful service across the board. We were visiting from Boston. Our waiter was wonderful, & the filet, Cesar salad & short rib were to die for, but the sommelier was the icing on the cake. He was eager to share fascinating details about our dessert wine choice they we hadn't heard before. We legit could have listened to his knowledge for hours. He's a true gem unlike any sommelier we've come across before.

Moishes definitely lives up to the hype. Went for a family dinner & we were warmly welcomed. They start you off with complimentary giant pickles, coleslaw (seriously, they should package & sell thi-it's that good), & bread. For starters, we had the Caesar salad & lobster, both excellent. The highlight was the 22oz rib steak - massive, delicious, & priced at $96. They only serve it in one size, so it's a bit pricey, but definitely a worthy treat. Bonus: even the washroom is worth checking out.
Gorgeous food, warm & attentive service, classy modern yet old school atmosphere.
We went for a double celebration. I have a leg cast & let them know in advance & they put aside my kneeler it didn't bother me or other guests.
We have been many times since they reopened. Service is always top notch. No exaggeration.
The manager keeps his watchful eye on the entire'orchestra' of staff.
The menu keeps evolving but alway high end steak restaurant. Our staples are rib steak, port house to share & braised ribs with polenta. Outstanding !
This time we also ordered an arugula salad. Delicious ! One person ordered the fully loaded minute Carlo potato, & some crispy onions. Usually we don't bother with starters or sides as the steak & rib portions are very generous.
Cocktails are top shelf.
The millefeuille is out of this world ! You have to try it even if you are sharing.
Sorry no photos of the food. We aren't really food photo people but I did take a snap of the dessert.
the Moishe's experience goes so far beyond just the food. Everything just perfect. The warm welcome, the beautiful setting, the friendly, efficent servers. Add to that the perfect...& I mean PERFECTLY grilled boneless rib eye, with the various delicious sides. Thank you Moishe's!!!!
Outstanding! We had a reservation for the bar & our server, Danny, was excellent - friendly & attentive. We started with escargot which may have been the best we've had. For dinner, we had the ribeye with creamed spinach & crispy onions - perfection. The sommelier, Rafael, recommended a Bordeaux that paired perfectly. Highly recommend!

The food was over & above. There were a couple of times my water glass was empty. We did order bubbly & wine, but still needed water. We asked another waiter for mint with the lamb chops & waited, but when asked the maitre'd he said we don't serve mint. Advising us before my friend waited to eat, would of been nice!This is the second time since they opened that we were here & definitely will be back soon. The rib steak was the best I ever had. Not to fault our own waiter, who was super friendly & attentive.
Food was alright, super over salted & over priced. Honestly if I compare it to Lucille's 37$ rib steak I am equally impressed & I just saved myself 50$ a person. The steak was honestly super average. Oysters: again the 1$ oysters at Lucille's are arguable tastier. Bone marrow: was good, just over salted. Fries: MID, onion fries: actually not good at all. Filet mignon, was just not that great, overly salted, & it was nothing special. Waitor « Simon » very good & really cool. Sommelier : really good & very knowledgeable. Great wine recommendation.
All in all, I wouldn't come back & I wouldn't recommend. Way over priced (bill of over 500$ for average food). I have no problem with pricey if the food is spectacular. Really reminded me of Lucille's & I would have gotten more for much less.
Lastly valet: slightly nervy to charge 23$. Again my choice to use it but, I think after spending 500$ plus on food it should be free or cheaper.
There is no incentive to come back! Thank you to the Waitors & the service
Went to Moishes for the first time & I've to got to say, wish I've been there sooner. I was there for my wedding anniversary dinner & the service was impeccable including the atmosphere.
Started with grilled shrimps & arugula salad to start, both were excellent. Shrimps were cooked to perfection with a perfect balance of acidity & flavor. Salad was light & flavorful as well.
Wife ordered the rack of lambs & I ordered the rib steak. The steak was a bit undercooked for my liking so had them cook it again for just a bit & came out great. The portions are very generous as for the price you're paying.
Although the starter & mains were great, you MUST try the Mille-feuille for dessert. I'd have to say one of the best in town or the best I've ever had. Again, the desserts are quite large as well.
I would definitely go back.
I had a perfect experience here! The food was absolutely delicious. We got the NY strip, a ribeye, passion fruit mocktails, & the crème brûlée. Everything tasted amazing. The best part about our night was the service. Our waiter Simon was the best waiter i've ever had! He was so kind, quick, generous & very professional. He made our anniversary very special! I will definitely be back & hope to have him as our waiter again!
One of the best meat places in Montreal. It has been a long time I don't leave a restaurant this happy & satisfied. It is pricy, but it worths it! Staff is really polite & place really cozy. I recommend the `Rib Eye Steak`.
