Review Summary

Across numerous reviews, The Keg Steakhouse + Bar is praised for excellent steaks and a warm, cozy atmosphere in Old Montreal. The menu seems to shine on classic cuts like filet mignon, ribeye, and New York strip, with many diners noting tender meat and flavorful preparations. Service is described as friendly and attentive with good wine and cocktail recommendations, though a few visits report slower service or meals arriving at room temperature or not cooked to order.

Been to many Kegs before but this one tops it! Usually you get a very corporate environment but the one in Montreal Vieux port had a very cozy feel to it & a different interior design. The staff was very friendly & welcoming & the food was excellent! I am not a steak guy but had to pull the trigger once i saw the'Chicago style' which basically add a mildly burnt crust with a perfectly cooked medium rare interior - it was the perfect Christmas dinner! Highly recommend this location 10/10

We tried a few dishes & everything was amazing.
The New York Striploin was cooked perfectly - juicy, tender, & full of flavour.
The New York Peppercorn was also delicious, especially with the creamy peppercorn sauce. Definitely one of my favourites!

We had a bottle of La Petite Perrière Pinot Noir (2024) with our meal, & it paired beautifully with the steaks.
For dessert, we had the Billy Miner Pie, & it was the perfect finish - mocha ice cream, chocolate crust, fudge, caramel, & almonds. So good!

Overall, great food & great service. Highly recommend trying both New York steaks & ending with the Billy Miner Pie!

Went here on Saturday night with my mother. It was our first time in Montreal & we'd looked up that some of the places in that area were tourist traps so we went to somewhere familiar. Oh boy, though! Genuine compliments to the chefs/cooks that night. We raved about the burger & calamari. Both cooked so well & perfectly & well above par from what you'd expect from any restaurant chain. Great service, good atmosphere… & that burger. No other Keg we've been to compares. Thank you! Clearly pride was being taken in the food & it left a lovely memory.

We had a birthday celebration here & we had a lovely time. The staff was super nice & attentive. The location is great & the vibe is excellent as you are in the heart of Old Montreal. Everything that we ordered came out perfectly cooked & seasoned & the drinks were spot on even tho we ordered something that was not on the menu. Overall 10/10 would definitely go back!

Good food. Calamari was tasty, loved the batter. Garlic mash was fantastically seasoned. The NY strip was cooked perfectly, the only complaint & only reason why this isn't a 5 star is that I found the steak wasn't seasoned enough.

This place is fantastic. I go every time I am in Montreal for work. The food as per usual is incredible, The bacon wrapped filet mignon is grilled perfectly everytime. The servers are fantastic, although sometimes a little slow, that is only because of how packed this place can get in the evenings!

The Keg in Old Montreal never disappoints! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm & attentive. The ambiance perfectly blends cozy & elegant, with beautiful stone walls & low lighting that make it feel extra special.

We ordered the filet mignon & rib steak ; both were cooked to perfection & full of flavor. The sides were just as impressive, especially the garlic mashed potatoes & seasonal vegetables. The cocktails were also excellent, & their wine selection paired beautifully with the meal.

What really stood out was the service , our server was friendly, knowledgeable, & timed everything perfectly. Whether you're celebrating something special or just enjoying a great night out, The Keg in Vieux Montréal is a top-notch choice. Highly recommend making a reservation!

Had an incredible dinner at The Keg in Old Montreal. The côte de boeuf was perfectly cooked-tender, juicy, full of flavor. Service was flawless: friendly, attentive but never pushy. The ambiance was cozy & upscale without being stiff. Great spot for a relaxed, high-quality night out. Will definitely be back!

Sat in the lounge area. It's a lot more casual but uses the same delicious menu. I had a NY strip & they cooked it perfectly to medium rare. Mixed drinks are done well. Not half pours but a full 2oz & made well.

Service was good. Checked on us but not constantly hovering.

I rarely gush about a steak restaurant, but the Keg really nailed it. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked. Service was top notch.
Amazing location, too, in the charming old town.

This is my go-to steakhouse! The quality is consistently top-notch every time we visit. Their steaks are perfectly tender & flavorful, without the need for unnecessary extras. The drinks are equally impressive, & as for the staff, their politeness & respectful demeanor speak for themselves.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My recent experience at Vieux Port-Steakhouse was exceptional from start to finish. For appetizers, we enjoyed the calamari & the poutine-both perfectly prepared & full of flavor. The standout dish was my entrée: bacon-wrapped filet mignon served with creamy mashed potatoes. Every bite was a dream; the filet was incredibly tender & cooked to perfection, while the bacon added a wonderful smoky touch. Our waitress was simply outstanding, attentive, knowledgeable, & went above & beyond to make the experience memorable. This place truly knows how to combine atmosphere, incredible food, & top-tier service. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

We visited the Old Port of Montreal, Quebec & we've started going to The Keg Restaurant about twenty years ago. They've been a favorite spot for us to dine. Sirloin steak was perfectly cooked & service was amazing as always.

Not as fancy as the Keg in LA but steak dishes were cooked perfectly to our preferences. Staffs were not only friendly but also very professional & spoke perfect English which made it even more pleasant.

I booked online for dinner, party of 6, it was a breeze. Parking is tricky with Montreal never-ending construction. We were seated right away. Outstanding & efficient service. I had the lobster bisque, it's my favorite & they make it so well. The bread is always fresh & hot off the oven with amazing butter. I had to control myself & not take more bread 😂 as I was offered. We all ordered the steak to be medium. Mine was more toward medium-well but was good. The top sirloin was fantastic. The fries were great, not greasy, perfectly salted. The Pina Colada was very well made, 10/10. We were full so didn't have dessert or coffee but will do that next time around. A solid recommendation if you're in the mood for stake, just emphasize how you want your meat done.

Great food. Slow service, especially when leaving. Took nearly 20 minutes between asking for the check & it being brought to our table. Otherwise great eatery. Best thing we ate by far was the Gruyére Mushroom Dip. The bread was fresh, light & crispy. The dip was perfectly spiced creamy & decadent. The ribs were good but the side sauce outshined the meat in that dish. The fries were soggy & under seasoned.

Sat in the lounge Feb 15th for a 9pm reservation. I wish we remembered our server's name but he was wonderful! We were sat on time, in a booth, which I asked for in the reservation notes. $150 for rib steak, 14oz prime rib & sangria pitcher before tip. Quite pricey to me but I don't go to these type of places, I was given a gift card, so maybe that's on the cheap end of steakhouse prices? I'll leave that for you to decide. I'd definitely go back if given another gift card (or if I had the money to spare) & I must say it was the best steak I've ever eaten! Perfectly rare throughout, verging near blue rare close to the bone which is my preference. Their steak knives are incredibly dull though, pretty difficult to cut with. Sangria pitcher was huge & strong for the price. My partner liked the prime rib but said he preferred the steak I ordered- from trying the prime rib, it was a bit dry & I wouldn't really recommend it if you're craving steak. However it was the last of that size for the night, so it's probably better earlier in the day. The red wine sauce was great. Again, our server was absolutely fantastic & made sure the kitchen had the prime rib in the size we wanted. So in short, if you're comfortable with the price, I'd recommend this place.
