Beautiful place, delicious cocktails , great service… but stop there.

Calling yourself a steakhouse is an insult to actual steakhouses. We ordered a cut off the menu « cote de boeuf » 45oz split by 3 people. Asked for medium rare & got medium. Barely a sear on it. Got 2 sides & 2 sauces , mashed potatoes & fries which were laughable in terms of portions, barely enough for 1 person. Just that dish was 310$ before tax.

My wife had the ravioli dish which was 6 small ravioli with a huge sauce in the middle. Was it good? Yes… but again, the portion is ridiculous & is more of an entree then a main for 38$. Look at other people's pictures of the dish .

Do yourself a favor & go to maison boulud for one of the best cote de boeuf in the city & substantially cheaper.

Will not being going back.

Exceptional service from start to finish. Huge thanks to David P his recommendations were spot on, & he really knows his wine.

This steakhouse is clearly on its way to becoming a must-visit, thanks to both the outstanding quality & the attention to detail from the staff.

The atmosphere feels like a Parisian bistro, & you get that impression right as you walk in, with a beautiful display showcasing their premium cuts. They also have an impressive wine cellar with a great selection.

Special mention to the meat quality especially the wagyu carpaccio, which was absolutely incredible.

Fantastic new steakhouse! While staying at the St Martin hotel, I decided to try this new restaurant. It was a good decision. Great food, great service, & nice atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Benjamin is a nice place. Great concept: French steakhouse. The food was great. I had the French onion soup to start. It was perfectly balanced, not greasy, great. I also tried the grilled bone marrow from a friend & the grilled leek (served cold). All good. Then I had the fillet mignon with the sauce perourgine (?) & truffle mashed potatoes. The truffle flavour didn't come through enough. It also didn't come through on my friend's truffle fries. They did not have a good batch I guess. But I would say that overall that didn't matter. The food was really good.
The biggest issue was the final bill which had several errors in pricing. The sides were at $16 (instead of $12 as stated on the menu) & my sauce was meant to be $10 extra but on the bill said +$14. There were errors on my friend's bill as well. Be careful to check! I will also point out that the menu here on Google has changed & the pricing of some of the items is also different. All that aside, it's a good restaurant. Good food & nice service.

I think we have a new winner for the best steakhouse in downtown Montreal! I went for lunch & the menu is broad enough to comply with every taste. Service, performed by Maelle , was impeccable, & she made the whole experience very enjoyable. I will come back!
