Pinnacle Wagyu receives significant praise for its high-quality steak, flavorful meat, and standout truffle fries, with many patrons calling their cheesesteak and steak frites some of the best in Montreal. Visitors often appreciate the friendly service and the cozy, convenient location in the Old Port, frequently highlighting the juicy, tender preparation of the beef. While the majority of guests are satisfied with the value and taste, some reviews mention inconsistencies regarding portion sizes, long wait times, limited seating space, or preferences for different levels of meat doneness. Despite mixed opinions on pricing and minor logistical complaints, the general consensus describes the restaurant as a must-visit spot for gourmet sandwiches and quality deli food.
I enjoyed my meal really much, while it's on the pricer side with a reason, portion is enough for a small sized female & surely enough to take some leftover home. I would recommend to give a try!
The sandwich is the star of this place, the meat is amazing & really flavory. Also the lemonade with passion fruit is a must !! I also put a shot of vodka which make it even better 😉. The only disappointment was the carrot cooki, bc it was old & tasteless. I will recommend to share a sandwich & the fries I guess thats enough for two. We got two sandwiches which the porchietta one wasn't that good. Anyways it's a good place but nothing out of this world.
The hype is real. Their streak & fries are really good. Do yourself a favor & order this instead of the burger, you won't regret it. On a hot summer day, their lemonades are great too. Highly recommend.
Definitely worth trying out. The cook on the steak was perfect. Would recommend adding a little salt & pepper. Fries were good too. Would highly recommend sitting down & eating & not take out as the steak will get cold fast.
spilt the BBQ loaded fries & it was so good! we joked that there was more meat than fries (that's a good thing to us lol). there's few seats inside but we sat outside
unfortunately overhyped.
i was super excited to come try this place, but unfortunately paid 90+ for barely seasoned steak. there's very little seating place, a long waiting line & no washroom available. (i'd give 3 1/2 star overall)
i'd recommend the other dishes, you can get better steak fries in montreal.
We kept hearing some variation of'the best Wagyu deli in Montreal,' which immediately raised an important question: are there actually enough, or any, Wagyu delis in Montreal to make this a competitive category? (If so, genuinely, can the aforementioned influencers please enlighten me? I'm interested.)
Anyway, setting aside the dramatic clickbait titles & glowing slow-motion steak videos, we skipped the famous Wagyu-&-fries situation (Steak Frites'On the Road'). Partly because I don't particularly like fries 🤷?♂? & partly because I wanted a sandwich.
Also, I'm not sure if it's there as a joke or for price anchoring, but the idea of a $150 Kobe steak option being on the menu of a mostly takeout sandwich counter raises many philosophical questions...
Instead, we went with the Pinnacle Cheesesteak, which was apparently one of their most recommended items. First, if cheese was present, it was very subtle-we didn't taste it at all. What absolutely did show up was the steak. A lot of it. I definitely got my 20$ worth on that. You mostly taste beef, a vaguely savory sauce, & admittedly solid bread holding everything together pretty well. (Bread is important.)
For what it is, it's alright. It's well located for tourists & locals roaming around the historic area, the portions are good enough, & the pricing feels pretty aligned with other trendy sandwich spots in the city. No major complaints there.
But does it live up to the hype? No, not even close. I think that says more about the marketing style than the food itself, though.
