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 little too much intrusion by multiple servers throughout the evening, yet the initial delivery of the two bottles of wines we ordered was really too delayed to fit correctly with the serving of our dishes. So: too much, yet not enough.
While the steak (Porterhouse for two @ 180$) was first rate, what really caught my attention on this visit was the value-priced Bordeaux on the wine list. We enjoyed a 2015 Margaux for 150$ with a 91 Wine Spectator. It paired very well with the steak.

The staff & service were attentive & friendly which added to the great ambience .. streaks were cooked to perfection, the sides, wine list & drinks were perfect, the experience, including the attention from our sommelier was a wonderful experience.. to be repeated
All your staff were friendly from the time we arrived until the time we departed. Our server Chanel was particularly exceptional. The Caesar salad was delicious & the bone in filet pure perfection. Nice selection of wines by the glass too. It brought back nice memories of growing up in Montreal over 50 years ago & going to Moishes but with a wonderful & new fresh interpretation. A delicious Sunday dinner. We'll be back. Congratulations on a job well done.
2 out of 3 steaks were overcooked. Considering one of them was a dry-aged rib steak, paying a premium for something that you did not receive was disappointing, especially since this is a specialty steakhouse!
Our waitress was really nice & kind, however we had to flag her down often & pour our own wine. Dinner last longer than it should have if we had a little more attentive service.
Overall, it was a pleasant evening & dinner experience.

This was an excellent venue. The food was superb & the service was great. On the evening we were there, the wine cellar's lock was broken so we were not able to get wine save for a glass that's as poured. It would have been nice to get a complimentary glass seeing that we couldn't get the bottle we wanted nor the wine we wanted to pair it with.
Gorgeous setting that succeeds in bringing back luxuriously the fine dining I had experienced at the original Main location. The food is delicious, the staff professional & knowledgeable. Our dinner just a walk away from the hotel contributed to make a very special occasion even more memorable. We will be back for sure! The filet mignon was cooked & seasoned to perfection, but we also hope to be able to try the veal chops next time since these were no longer available yesterday. Aside from the iconic pickles & coleslaw, the Monte Carlo potatoes & grilled vegetables were the perfect companions to our steaks. The Moishes mule cocktail was a nice spicy way to start our meal that ended on a high note - a shared lemon cake with delicious espresso! Thank you to our waiter for on pointe wine-pairing suggestions!!
The restaurant is Moishes in name only. It is still quite new so it will take time & management to work out the kinks. The steaks were very good as was the eggplant. The wine was not chilled & was poured without finesse. The ‘chopped liver' is actually liver pâté. The coleslaw on the table was only sufficient for one or 2 small portions. Although the server's tried hard they lacked training & experience. Remind people why they wanted to come to "Moishes". Serve some old familiar dishes & bring out the bubblegum & candy.

Very good experience, the staff was efficient & professional & the attention to detail does not go unrecognized. The food was delicious. We were pleased to see peices of the old restaurant incorporated into this beautiful new space. The street parking in the area is not great I recommend the valet at 23.00 it's worth it. Price point is around 100-150 per person if you want to order the high end steaks cooked to perfection & a decent bottle of wine. The only downfall is that there were so many things missing from the old menu like the Latkas, which were my personal favorite lets hope they bring those staples back.
All in all It was a great night out with great food good wine in a new location where the old restaurant feel meets today's high end dinning expectations.
