Taken together, reviews describe Notre-Boeuf-de-Grâce as a place with outstanding burgers and memorable fries, a friendly, attentive staff, and a lively, welcoming vibe that can handle crowds; the bilingual service and thoughtful touches like gluten free options are frequently praised, with careful cross contamination practices noted for coeliac diners. The interior is felt as cool and modern with art and writing on the walls, and the drinks program including a real milkshake and quality beer is often highlighted. Food quality is described as very good to excellent by many, especially the burgers themselves and the fries, while some visits report dry meat or a steak frites that is sinewy and over salted, soggy fries, and occasional inconsistent cooking. A few reviewers mention music that felt inappropriate for the mood, while others commend fast service and friendly servers when busy. Overall it remains a popular choice for a burger fix in Montreal with some consistently strong experiences, though a handful of meals fall short of expectations.
Amazing breakfast probably one of the best I've had, decided to go the second day on my trip cause it was that good. Kinda shit myself when I realized it was a mannequin in the vestibule.
Booked this restaurant having read positive reviews but was very disappointed.
The fries that came with the burger were over cooked & looked like they were the last scrapings from the frier.
Burger was ok but nothing which could be compared with other burgers on our journeys through the US.
Mac n cheese was dry & lacked flavour.
Overall worst food experience in Montreal to date & certainly not worthy of the high ratings afforded to it
The first time I visited Notre-Boeuf-de-Grâce, I wasn't expecting to be blown away-I just wanted a burger. But what I got was quite possibly the best burger & best fries I've ever had in my life (& that's only a'maybe' on the burger because there's one other contender). I was genuinely shell-shocked.
After a cozy writing session at Café Aunja, I was walking back toward the hotel & decided to check this place out. The interior had a great vibe-cool art, writing all over the walls, & a very laid-back but modern energy. My girlfriend, who's Greek & from Toronto, pointed out the Greek phrase above the bar, which listed drinking cheers in different languages-just one of many thoughtful, global touches throughout the place. The staff were incredibly friendly & bilingual, & they made the whole experience even better.
The burger was out of this world-juicy, flavorful, beautifully put together-& those fries? Absolutely unforgettable. A perfect balance between steak fries & shoestring, they were chunky, soft inside, lightly crispy on the outside, & seasoned to perfection.
My second visit came the next night-my girlfriend had to return to Toronto, but I was in town an extra day. I saw they served steak frites, so I went back, sat at the bar beneath the Greek writing in her honor, & treated myself to another incredible plate of fries (& yes, the steak was great too, but let's be honest, I was there for those fries). I even enjoyed a well-made cocktail, soaking in the vibe one last time.
Now that I'm back in Vermont, I can't stop thinking about that burger. & the fries? Still unmatched. Notre-Boeuf-de-Grâce has officially ruined other burgers & fries for me-in the best way possible.

It was my first time at this location & it was also my first time trying their brunch options. It was a perfect combination of breakfast, lunch, & dessert on one (big) plate. Nothing fancy but I loved the combo that diverged just enough from the typical brunch offerings in this city while being familiar. Service was also very good.
Il y a une semaine, j'ai eu la merveilleuse occasion de goûter le restaurant Notre-Boeuf-de-Grâce. J'ai réussi à découvrir cet endroit grâce à mon amie. Nous voulions tous les deux aller au musée des beaux-arts de Montréal. Donc, nous avons choisi ce restaurant pour dîner avant notre visite. Bien qu'ils se soient trompés dans ma commande, les membres du personnel ont été très accommodants. Ils ont tout de suite remplacé le Basic Chick par le Fancy Chick que j'avais demandé. Ils m'ont même rajouté des Tater Tots. Le mélange entre le poulet frit, l'avocat, le fromage de chèvre, la mayonnaise au basilic & la salade de chou était succulent. De plus, je vous recommande les Tater Tots comme accompagnement au lieu des frites, car les Tater Tots sont plus rassasiants que les frites qui sont souvent minuscules & brûlées. Je vous conseille aussi de prendre des burgers à base de poulet. Selon mon amie & moi, le boeuf est similaire au goût du boeuf de restauration rapide & il est moins goûteux que le poulet qui a un goût unique. Je vous conseille d'aller visiter ce restaurant pour la nourriture, le service & l'ambiance.
