Sel Noir Steakhouse: Savor the finest cuts in the heart of Montreal's Golden Square Mile. Indulge in our meticulously prepared steaks, complemented by a curated wine list, all within an elegant ambiance that defines the art of dining.
Overall, reviews frame Sel Noir Steakhouse as a stylish, intimate spot with a warm, speakeasy vibe where the atmosphere and service often shine alongside high quality cooking. The steaks, seafood and cocktails are frequently praised for flavor, tenderness and thoughtful preparation, with many calls of the ribeye, tomahawk, surf and turf and lobster specials among the highlights, and several notes about excellent night-out options like date nights and celebrations. The service is described as attentive, friendly and efficient when at its best, making Sel Noir a popular choice for memorable dinners; ambiance, lighting and a lively yet not too noisy setting are repeatedly cited as major pluses.

Reservations are often recommended, and reviews credit strong staff knowledge and thoughtful touches from management. In sum, Sel Noir Steakhouse is portrayed as a top-tier steakhouse option in Montreal for serious carnivores and lovers of a refined night out, with consistent praise for food and hospitality tempered by occasional service or dish missteps.
Vraiment belle expérience! Nous avons pris des entrées très bon! Le tomahawk WOW la pièce de viandé était DÉLICIEUSE! Le service était A1 les drinks aussi rien a dire.
Nice decor & lighting. Server tried his best but some things fell short, he made up for it though which I appreciate. Food was alright, filet mignon was a bit too salty, salad was large but pretty basic except for the fried onions adding some crunch, mushrooms were a good side with a decent portion. Beef tartare was pretty basic, just tasted like mustard. The kumquat caranillo was a smooth caffeinated cocktail.

Service exécrable, lent & peu convivial
L'entièreté de l'équipe était au bar & «chillais » pendant que le serveur & la cuisine avaient clairement besoin d'aide malgré le petit nombre de table.
Pour un beau total d'une heure 20 minutes d'attente pour la nourriture, un poulet qualité st-hubert & un steak sans goût, JE NE RECOMMANDE PAS!
We came to SELNOIR with our barbershop team.
& I had honestly an amazing night everything was perfect !!! I made the best decision to chose this place & I will again & again !
Excellent service, merci de nous avoir servis. L'équipe Baribier a été agréablement accueillie. Très beau menu, varié & de qualité, avec un excellent rapport qualité-prix.

Avec l'équipe de Baribier on est venu au Sel Noir & la nourriture, le service & l'atmosphère était impeccable. Très attentionné avec nos restrictions alimentaires & toute questions sur le menu. 5/5
Un ami me l'a recommandé & honnêtement… incroyable du début à la fin.
L'ambiance est classy, le service est attentif & surtout la nourriture est exceptionnelle. Chaque plat est bien présenté, plein de saveurs, & on sent que tout est fait avec soin & précision.
Que ce soit pour un dîner entre amis ou une sortie plus chic, Sel Noir est clairement une valeur sûre.
Je comprends maintenant pourquoi on me l'a autant recommandé - je vais définitivement y retourner.
Truly incredible! We came for a staff dinner with Baribier Studio. Everything from the service, the food & the environment, was tremendous. I highly recommend this place

Être le seul groupe de filles durant leur soirée'girls night' & quand même de faire attitrer le serveur le plus bête du resto, qui part fumer dehors pendant le service, qui ne s'excuse pas des longues attentes & qui chill au bar avec ses amis quand on attend nos factures .. c'était très boff.

I wanted to try this place for a very long time since it always shows up on my IG news feed. The cocktails were good. The entres were good 2. La pieuvre était bonne. However, it all fell down, when me & my brother-in-law ordered the tomahack, lobster & shrimps for 2. Weirdly for a steakhouse, everything that came from the sea was good but the tomahack was a hell of dissapointment!!. We asked for medium well, it was cooked blue. We had to ask to grill it again because it was way too bloody. Then after the first bites, we were double dissapointed. The meat had NO FLAVORS WHATSOEVER. It's like they took the meat from the animal & just put in the grill with no salt, no pepper, no seasonings..It was NOT TENDER...🤨😒 bruuhh My expectations were too high I guess...Nonetheless, our servers were very nice & even gave my sister a slice of cake for her bday...
Unfortunately, I live far from d-town, so this visit will probably be my last.
Très mauvaise expérience. On nous a servi un plat froid, avec une odeur très forte, au point où on se demandait s'il était encore bon. Franchement, c'était impossible à manger.
Le service n'a rien arrangé, personnel désagréable, peu à l'écoute, aucune excuse ni solution proposée. On s'est sentis complètement ignorés.
& pour couronner le tout, les prix sont beaucoup trop élevés pour la qualité servie. Une expérience vraiment décevante. Je ne reviendrai pas & je ne recommande pas ce restaurant.
Great restaurant! The vibes & the food were amazing! Being from out of province this is definitely one of the best food spots in Montreal! We were taken care of by our server Tony, who was amazing! We will definitely be back!
Superbe expérience au Sel Noir, cocktail délicieux, entrées divines, plats délicieux & très fins ! C'était vraiment merveilleux, encore plus, grâce à notre adorable serveuse Marie-Lou qui été très professionnelle & bienveillante ! Nous recommandons & nous reviendrons c'est certains lors de notre prochain séjour sur Montréal !!
Really cozy ambiance, great food. Had an amazing espresso martini, & don't even get me started about the steak. Amazing quality & delicious. Highly recommend coming
