Today, in its new location, Moishes is more dedicated than ever to re-affirming authenticity, consistency, and culinary excellence for generations to come.
Overall, Moishes Steakhouse is repeatedly praised for impeccable service, excellent steaks and sides, and an elegant, welcoming atmosphere. Many reviews highlight consistent cooking, attentive staff, and standout desserts and cocktails, while a few note higher prices, occasional slow service, and some variability since the move to the new location. The restaurant is regarded as a Montreal institution and a top choice for special occasions, business dinners, and celebrations, with guests often saying they would return and recommend it.
I have been going to Moishes since 1994. For almost 30 yrs I've enjoyed the best steak you can get anwyere period fullstop. The meet was flavourful, soft, marbled, just delicious. It was made with what I always assumed was butter. The steaks were phenomenal. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also something else. I loved the classic look of a restaurant that had survived since 1938. The red velvet & mahogany wall, the tables of patrons who all seemed to know each other. Mostly because they had been eating at this very special place for generations. Fast forward 6 or 7 yrs since my last visit. What a difference. As the Beetles once said: "There are places I remember....some have changed for ever, but not for better." Well the Moishes of today has nothing to do with the Moishe we all loved. Atmosphere: There was nothing warm or enticing. No sense of belonging to a community. Now it's just another big modern restaurant I see in Toronto all the time. Just another fancy "Keg" of sorts. The Service & Staff: Top notch. The servers & staff were absolutely fantastic. Professional, polite & engaging. The restaurant is lucky to have such amazing staff. Food: This is the saddest part. The meat quality is not the same. I opted for the Kansas Strip Loin. It was tough & sinewy. The potato was excellent & the pickle & coleslaw were great too. But the steak itself was nothing to write home about! THIS IS NOT THE MOISHES I SO EXCITEDLY DROVE TO MONTREAL TO VISIT. I'm sorry new owners. I'm sure you'll milk the brand name for all its worth. You have made the clientele younger so less picky about food quality I guess. It makes me sad that after 30 years of patronage, I will not be going there again. The only saving grace was incredibly kind & helpful server. I wish I could remember her name to thank her personally. But if you are a young blonde woman who was serving two middle aged men sitting at a table between the window & the bar, then you deserve recognition. EXCELLENT SERVICE! The presentation looked good, but the steak was dry, sinewy & tough.
I've came here 2 times before & it is always the best spot for steak in mtl. The hostess came to accommodate us in our seating options , & the manager David (i believe he was the manager) came to greet us !! Our waitress Valerie was extremely good at what she does & has good on steaks ! Over all you guys made our valentines day evening amazing , & i will definitely come back . Thank you !!!
Excellent services du personnel & une attention particuliere & special de la part du nouveau manager Adil & son equipe a fait de cette soire une reussite. Merci & a tres bientot
Honestly beautiful dining experience. First off David (manager) was extremely personable & charismatic. We had original reservations at 5:30pm but had a minor kid emergency & knew we wouldn't make the reservation on time. We called & asked to come for 9pm as that was available last minute. David said to come whenever & take our time. We figured after we cleared up our kid emergency we would go for 8 & hang at the bar until our table was ready. We arrived at 8 & our table was in fact ready. Had a wonderful waitress who was very charming & attentive. I'll simply say, impeccable service & a beautiful ambiance. The restaurant is gorgeous inside. I had the short rib & my husband had the NY strip along with octopus salad & the arugula salad. I read a review that the short rib on the creamy polenta was disappointing.....I could not disagree more. It was delicious!! Everything was. I had a great birthday dinner & David even came to ask if all ended up ok with my kids. Loved it & will definitely recommend to my friends & family & be back. Not one negative thing I can mention! All was fantastic!

Merci Rosanne Kirouac
First time in the new location. We liked that there were some visual reminders for old location. Our server was excellent. Very attentive. Food was all high quality & tasted wonderful. Steaks were marvellous (though may be big enough to share). Also loved that there was bubble gum (still). We especially appreciated the visit from "David", chatting about the old Moishe's, Toronto & other things. Thank for the free slice of cheese cake (& sorry we could not finish it at the restaurant). We will be back on our next trip to Montreal.
2nd time back brought some family this time everyone had great meals & a good time..Friday nights being busy have their challenges but the staff make everything better..& a shout out the the front man David Saltzman!!!
