Review Summary

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.

Ma grand-mère m'a parlé plusieurs fois de ce restaurant & je n'avais jamais eu l'occasion d'y aller. J'y suis finalement allée pour la première fois & tout dans ce restaurant était parfait: service attentionné, steak cuit à la perfection, salade de choux à volonté qui est délicieuse & la promotion après 21h vaut vraiment le coup!

Moishes est le rêve de tout amateur de steak. Un beau restaurant moderne avec des chaises très confortables, un service attentionnée, une belle carte de cocktails, une côte de boeuf vieillit extraordinaire & une patate monté carlo décadente pour accompagner le tout. Dès notre arrivée, nous sommes également accueilli avec pain, cornichons & salade de chou pour nous ouvrir l'appétit. Un autre élément qui est digne de mention est leur toilette. Je n'ai jamais été autant impressionné par des toilettes de restaurant. Ils laissent des produits d'hygiène à disposition des clients. C'est une très belle attention. Moishes est un incontournable à faire à Montréal, j'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner.

WOW! J'ai déjà été dans des restos de luxe, mais JAMAIS on ne nous a servis aux petits soins comme Moishes l'a fait! Clairement mon resto préféré, j'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner. Après toute cette expérience, j'aurais pu croire que ça nous aurait coûté AU MOINS 100 $ chacun, pour moi & mon copain. On a TRÈS bien mangé pour 172 $, 2 bières incluses! Oui, c'est du luxe, mais quand on compare avec les autres, & qu'on inclut les détails, la beauté du resto & la qualité, c'est incroyable.
Tout est dans les détails, & ça, Moishes l'a compris!
Premièrement, à la seconde où je me suis assise… mon Dieu que les chaises & les bancs sont confortables! Faut s'y asseoir pour comprendre, j'aurais pu y dormir!
Ensuite, les entrées faites maison au début (cornichons, salade de chou, pain & beurre) à volonté étaient incroyables. Quand je vous parle de détails, ce sont des choses comme le beurre, qui est fouetté (& sûrement fait maison?), avec de gros grains de sel à l'intérieur, juste délicieux.
Ensuite, le serveur nous dit qu'il peut sortir une planche avec toutes les coupes de steak pour qu'on puisse voir les grosseurs. Il explique très bien les mets &, tout au long du repas, je n'ai jamais manqué d'eau. Ils sont aussi ultra sympathiques!
Puis, quand ils viennent te servir ton plat, ils t'amènent une planche avec plusieurs choix de couteaux! Je n'avais jamais vu ça ailleurs , encore une fois, les détails!
À la fin, des chocolats à la menthe très appréciés, fait eux même, encore une fois gratuits.
Ils amènent aussi une serviette chaude pour se laver les mains avant de partir. Sans parler de la salle de bain, qui a absolument tout ce dont tu as besoin : Q-tips, détachant à vêtements, tampons (tellement utile), cure-dents & même du rince-bouche! Je dis souvent que la salle de bain reflète la qualité du restaurant, & j'en ai eu la preuve. Là-bas, ce que tu utilises pour te sécher les mains, ce sont des serviettes individuelles.
Mon entrée (tartare de boeuf) était parfaitement balancée en saveurs, & mon plat principal était une des meilleures viandes que j'ai mangées; la cuisson était parfaite. Que dire de la polenta! Première fois que j'en mangeais & j'ai été agréablement surprise. Il ont même servis deux sorte de sels assaisonnée.
J'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner & je le conseille à tous mes proches! Merci encore pour cette expérience, & bravo au cuisinier & au serveur. Vous avez fait de mon Noël un grand plaisir.

Unfortunately, it's either I was not hungry or the food was just above average. For being before at their old spot I know they can cook an amazing steak. It's the Cesar salad I was disappointed in. Otherwise, they still serve the cold slaw, the pickle & the challah as you walk in &, just for that, it's worth a visit.

Awesome steakhouse with amazing meats & perfect service. The dill pickles in brine, & the sour cabbage salad for the table are just an awesome treat. Wines are indeed expensive (pushing it a bit) but you can find something at a decent price. Overall a great place for a special dinner.

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.

Loved this spot! The arugula salad was perfect & the steak fresh & delicious. The coffee was exceptional.

Service was excellent - my glass was refilled without me even noticing! The cosy, chic atmosphere makes it a great place to relax, & valet parking ($$) is a convenient bonus.

From start to finish this meal was phenomenal! We started with the lobster tail & arugula salad. For mains we each ordered the New York strip… I had mine charred outside medium inside, it was out of this world!!! Then we shared garlic mashed, some of the most delicious brussel sprouts I've ever had, & mushrooms.
The soft serve ice cream & fruit finished the meal to perfection!

Is this the same as the old moishe's? No! But is the experience still amazing? Yes! Moishe's was all about exceptional steaks & perfect service delivered every time & if there was an issue with something it was fixed without attitude! This hasn't changed! We were served by Mo who was incredibly professional & provided exactly the level of service our group of 4 was looking for & he helped make our evening special. The food was exactly as it has always been ( i do prefer the old rye bread vs the challah breads) but hot tip - don't fill up on bread!!! the steaks & sides are too delicious! I always get the filet mignon & ask for it to be' butterflied' or cut in half & love their signature monte carlo mashed potato & creamed spinach & mushrooms fried onions & the fresh cut fries. I do share the steak to make room for the sides! Started with a delicious caesar salad & ended with one of the best mille feuilles anywhere. Maybe one day they'll bring back the strawberry tarts! look forward to my next visit. Highly recommend this Classic Reinvented iconic restaurant!

Expérience correcte chez Moishes. La salade césar était vraiment délicieuse, bien équilibrée. Le carré d'agneau était bon, sans plus - cuisson maîtrisée, mais rien d'exceptionnel côté goût. Le Hugo Spritz, par contre, était excellent, super rafraîchissant. Le service était bon, attentionné sans être envahissant. Une soirée agréable, mais je m'attendais à un peu plus vu la réputation du resto!

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.

The best meal of all our time in Montréal. Special Prix Fix with Les Bonnes Tables d'Air France as part of Montréal en Lumiére.4 course with wine pairing Roasted carrot & beet salad paired with a Quebecois cabernet, folliw by seafod chowder (smoked sole, mussels, & a grilled scallop( pairex with a citrusy white wine, balanced each other so well. The 4 oz filet mignon & half grilled lobster tail paired with a Spanish. This was a Moishes signature. I have never had a filet as moidt & buttery as this. I dont know how they do it. Finally, Moishes' signature dessert Mille Feuille paired with a sweet but pleasant Sautern. The meal was just perfect.
The service was attentive but not intrusive, with lots of attention from 5 or 6 dufferent staff.
If you have a coctail with a single ice cube, like my Old Fashioned, you might notice the clearest ice cube you will ever see, marked with the logo M for Moishes. A cool touch.
This is a great place. Our first time here. It is niw on our « must do again » list while in M

Ambiance, service, & food-everything is on point. It's pricey but worth it. The attention to detail is impressive, from the presentation to small touches like the carefully chosen knife colors. The complimentary salad & pickles add to the experience, making it feel like a true premium steakhouse.

Moishes is one of our go-to's when we want something extra special. Our recent visit was as expected. Great service,a delightful Caesar salad starter, steak cooked to perfection, delicious fries, pickles & coleslaw. The wine suggestion from the waitress was a perfect addition to the fabulous dinner! We had a lovely meal. Thank you.

This was our second visit to Montreal & our first time visiting Moishes. We actually heard about it from buying the Moishes pickles at a grocery store so when we found out there was a restaurant we had to go. Moishes did not disappoint. Everything was incredible. The food, atmosphere, & service were ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. We had the Oysters, & the New York Strip. I'd recommend both as they were both amazing. The complimentary bread, coleslaw, & pickes were equally as delicious. Our sides were salad for me & lobster mac n cheese for my wife. Both were amazing. We are adding Moishes to our list of places to visit when we come back to Montreal next year!

Staying at the W next door. The food was excellent. Had the Bronzino & octopus salad. Great atmosphere. But what stood out to me was the impeccable service. Flawless execution & worthy of 5 stars.
