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.
We came here for the lunch & the food & bar service was excellent. Our server Ronan was very helpful, attentive & provided a very good wine choice of wine. We had a wonderful time & would definitely return.
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.

Very respectful & friendly staff. Wide variety of wines. Tasted flavorful & cooked to perfection. The mashed potato is a must try believe me. (As a reference, one 8-ounce fillet mignon & one New York steak, one mashed potato, & one big serving of asparagus(perfect for sharing), & two glasses of wine , along with one homemade cheesecake at the end, with the tax & tip ended up to be around $400)
As for the Parking, they offer valet parking for $23
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.
I took a team of 10 hockey players for our annual team dinner & it was an amazing experience. We are from New York & I have eaten at all of the very best steakhouses in New York City & Moises is right at home in that category. Our waiter Allan was absolutely magnificent. The sommelier made excellent recommendations for wine. The steak presentation was incredibly impressive & let's just say all of the food was five star. We will be back again next year thank you so much for an incredible experience.
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.
My husband & I went to Moishes last night & it was the best dining experience we've had in years. We were celebrating our 2-year anniversary-3 months late-& from the moment we walked in, we were treated like royalty.
David, the restaurant manager, showed us the kind of hospitality that's rare to find these days. We're not celebrities, just two people looking for a special night out, & he made us feel truly seen & celebrated.
Our waiter, Mo, was equally exceptional. His passion for what he does is contagious. He knew the menu inside out, guided us through perfect wine pairings, & made every course feel like a curated experience.
We woke up this morning with full hearts & full stomachs. Thank you, David & Mo, for a night we won't forget.

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.
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
Great cozy restaurant, had the bone in filet mignon done to perfection. Very nice selection of wines. Details down to the selection of coloured knives.
A big thank you to Claudia for the warm & friendly service.

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!
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
Not quite what it was before moving but still worthy. Amazing food & service, this place is hard to beat. Of course, such an experience has its price. Don't look at the bill, just pay it. One of the best place in the world for a rib steak & a lot more choices. We were two persons, had martini, rib steak, mille-feuilles & a moderately priced bottle of red wine, its costed us close to $500 with taxes & tip. Not for the poor one. An experience you'll remember forever.

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.
Very good experience. The food was excellent. But what was really extraordinary was the way our waiter & sommelier handled the issue with our bottle of wine. We tasted some cork. Immediately the same, second bottle was brought out. Tasted by the sommelier who told us it also had cork. He then recommended an alternative which was really excellent. Top performance by both gentlemen. We are impressed & will return again next time we are in town.
