Moishes Steakhouse focuses on high quality cuts of meat prepared with precision using traditional grilling methods. The menu centers on prime beef selections aged to achieve maximum tenderness and flavor profile. Patrons encounter a variety of fresh seafood options that supplement the meat centric offerings. Each steak undergoes searing over high heat to lock in natural juices while creating a distinct charred crust. The interior layout utilizes dark wood textures and leather seating to establish a grounded professional environment. Staff members provide consistent technical service focused on the prompt delivery of plates and beverages. This establishment maintains a rigorous commitment to ingredient sourcing and culinary consistency for every preparation of fish and grill specialties.
Moishes Steakhouse is widely celebrated as a premier Montreal dining destination, offering a classic, upscale atmosphere that many patrons find both timeless and welcoming. Guests frequently praise the exceptional quality of the steaks, noting that they are consistently cooked to perfection, alongside a variety of highly regarded sides like the signature Monte Carlo potatoes and creamed spinach. While the vast majority of visitors highlight the polished, attentive, and professional service as a standout feature that elevates the entire dining experience, a small number of guests have encountered occasional inconsistencies with food preparation or service pacing. Despite varying opinions on pricing and minor logistical critiques, the overwhelming consensus is that this restaurant remains a top-tier choice for special occasions, business meetings, and memorable nights out, with many patrons eager to return for the superb hospitality and refined culinary offerings.
Brought my son for his 21st birthday. Food was excellent. Atmosphere was excellent. Unfortunately our waiter acted like he was bored & would rather be anywhere else than serving us. Arrogant perhaps. I felt a bit relieved to observe him acting like that with his other tables. Something small like that can spoil a dining experience. Should note that not all staff were like this. We just got the short straw that night!

Service Impeccable par Moe & c'est collègue 5☆ n'est pas assez pour le service incroyable tout au long du service, la qualité de la viande est excellente, service du sommelier pour accord mets & vin très exact !
Service staff - 2 star, the mixed waiter system per guest is not optimal. At the price we is pay, one would expect staff to coordinate. I had trouble figuring out who was pur waiter for the night. 3 people were speaking to us, only one presented themself & their name, serving food & hot towels, duplicating tasks made it redundant to answer the same questions over & over again.
In the end we paid & chatted for a few min before another waiter come with the payment machine ready to take payment again. We told the waiter we already paid & it felt extremely uncomfortable being asked in public'are you sure?'.
Turns out the first waiter decided to prank the 2nd causing confusion. As we left the main dining area, a 3rd waiter came running telling us to stay because something went wrong with the payment. After 3 minutes of wait, they came back stating it was a system bug.
Food - 2 star, we both do not eat rare or medium meat. We asked for well-done.
The meat was well-done all around the edges, medium about 1/3 in & rare in the middle. Maybe pass the message along to the chef.
Overall, I would stick with The Keg. Lower cost, better hospitality & service, even though atmosphere is not on par to Moishes.
Their food was great but their service was even better. My wife had lunch set & I had the escargot & half dozen oysters. All the selections was great abs fresh. But their service service was really good & very attentive. You would have a feeling that you're eating at a fine dining restaurant with a service of a family restaurant. Everything was taken care off & you didn't even need to ask
My wife & I just got married (May 2026) & the night after the wedding, we travelled to Montreal & had our first dinner date as husband & wife. There truly was nowhere else I would have taken her except to Moishes. In fact, for the two week honeymoon, & planning everything, Moishes was the first confirmed location on my plan, even before where we would stay, etc.
I have been to Moishes multiple times, with others & with my kids. I wasn't aware that Moishes moved from their previous second floor location until I got the walking instructions from my hotel, & it was then that I realized they changed locations. I quite enjoyed their new location as it is brighter, more easily accessible. But what remains the same is the food - absolutely tremendous & continues to set the bar for quality, & anyone in Montreal MUST have Moishes in their dining itinerary at some point.
The last number of times I was there, I ordered the same thing - the filet mignon & the creamed spinach. Both are out of this world & if I could have access to this every day (& have deep enough pockets to afford it), I would eat this day in & day out. As always it was amazing, done exactly how I like & impeccable flavour.
I believe my wife had the ribs & the mixed grilled vegetables (& a salad) & as always, the presentation, colour, etc, not to mention the flavour was unparalled. & of course, the pickles were to die for (my wife's words). I think after two weeks of travelling 4 provinces & going to many, many restaurants, Moishes still holds the gold standard for her for her favourite meal.
Service was extraordinary. Server was friendly, knowledgeable, & was timely & responsive to our needs.
Going to Moishes is a given for us, when we are in Montreal. I am glad my wife has become a believer in how good this restaurant is. Moishes has earned top marks every time I have dined there & this time is no exception. Easy five stars, every day of the week.
Well well!!! Another epic experience !!
