The Keg Steakhouse + Bar opened the doors of its first restaurant in 1971 in Vancouver. Since then, The Keg has expanded across Canada and the US to include over 100 locations. Although its name and décor have changed over time, the dining experience has always stayed consistent. The Keg’s focus has been, and continues to be, on providing exceptional service and quality food in a comfortable atmosphere for its guests.
Quality, comfort and value are three key ingredients that make The Keg experience unlike any other. When it comes to steak, The Keg serves only the finest cuts, aged for tenderness and seasoned with a unique blend. Classic cocktails, delicious appetizers, succulent seafood, and an outstanding wine list round out its classic menu. The Keg’s friendly and knowledgeable staff creates an atmosphere that encourages guests to enjoy, relax and be themselves. Whether you’re getting together with friends or celebrating with family, you’ll always be welcomed with a smile.
The Keg Steakhouse + Bar is consistently praised for the quality and tenderness of its steaks, with filet mignon, prime rib, and baseball sirloin highlighted across reviews, and the sides and sauces generally described as solid, though some mention that veggies can be average or potatoes fine. Service is repeatedly described as professional, attentive, and friendly, with many guests noting that reservations are respected and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, while a few experiences point to slow service or occasional lapses in accuracy during busy times. Allergies and dietary needs are often well-handled, and several guests commend staff for going the extra mile to ensure safe gluten-free options and accommodate allergies; desserts and cocktails also receive praise, and celebratory touches like complimentary birthday treats appear in some visits. Despite occasional critiques about wait times, mis-ordered dishes, or rooms being too dark or loud, overall the reviews frame The Keg as a reliable go-to for steak lovers in the city, delivering strong food quality, consistent service, and a pleasant dining environment, with a note that experiences may vary by location and time of day.
I went to The Keg Steakhouse in Montreal for my birthday dinner & absolutely loved both the food & drinks. It's easily one of my favourite spots for celebrating special occasions. The portions were generous, & everything was flavourful & satisfying. The atmosphere felt warm & inviting, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It's definitely on the pricier side, but for the quality, service, & overall experience, it's completely worth it.
I was to Keg before (not this one though) before covid. Quality of food was not comparable to my previous experiences, the fries were definitely reheated (which was not the case before) steak sirloin), don't know it didn't taste like it was high quality but processed to become soft, & same for vegies, they were not fresh, reheated, overall food wasn't bad not above average
Steak was amazing, the peppercorn new york steak & fillet mignon were cooked to perfection & very filling. Service was really fast & excellent, music & atmosphere was really nice. We arrived really late & were thankful that the place served food until so late, which made our evening. The lobster bisque was served a bit cold, but overall the quality is found in the steaks :)
Professional & good service, good steak & & good baby back ribs . prices are reasonable for the quality. Btw Amazing New york striploin, one of the best I ever tried but the Caesar salad wasn't good at all & the calamari was all batter. Amazing experience , I had forgotten how good it was actually

Been coming to this Keg location for years & I'm never disappointed!! Always the best quality & the freshest ingredients. Good timing & temperature are always perfect…Jessy is the best server!!!
I love The Keg, especially around the holidays. It feels so festive & you are guaranteed a great meal with impeccable service. We were fortunate enough to have Rudy as our waiter which put a special touch on our evening. The food was excellent, the ambiance was lovely, & the prices are comparatively reasonable to other upscale steakhouses, especially considering the quality & generous portions. I will always recommend The Keg for groups as there is something for everyone & they take special care of people with allergies - more than I have ever seen. What a beautiful touch that was. Thanks for keeping everybody safe & happy. I hope the Egg Nog (better with dessert than as a starter cocktail, IMHO) comes back every year!

Best Place in Montréal for steaks lovers...The Keg Steakhouse & Bar in Montreal is part of a well-known Canadian chain famous for its high-quality steaks & vibrant atmosphere.
We ordered steak & wine, & the quality & taste of the steaks were exceptional. We also really enjoyed the calm & relaxing atmosphere of the restaurant. Highly recommended!
Really great. Hits all the quality steakhouse notes. Perfectly cooked steaks & my wife even got a burger, which I tried, & it was delicious. One little side note.. I didn't take away any stars but I will mention some very minor criticism. Do not order rice as a side, it was very under seasoned. If you get lobster bisque, have them hold the garnish... its much better velvety naked. PS. Get the garlic cheese toast!!

I question why people come here. For the same price, you can go to steakhouses that are much better(Example: Grinder). This is a chain, & it's not quality. I had the filet mignon with potatoes & vegetables, the potatoes & the vegetables were so dry, clearly it was pre made. The plate they gave me the food in was all dirty. The bread they gave at the beginning was terrible, we couldn't even eat it(I guess I am too used to homemade quality food). The only reason for my 3 stars is for the great service & nice staff!
I came here for my 3 year anniversary & had an amazing time. The waiter was amazing & helpful. He gave us great recommendations for dessert which was much appreciated since we were full but still was in the mood for something sweet. The steak & lobster was a fantastic. This is the place you'd want to take someone special & enjoy great quality time with them. The atmosphere really set the tone for our night.
Tried this Keg location the other night for a bday supper.
We usually go to the old Montréal Keg but for a change we tried this place in PVM.
This place was great. The staff was professional except for our waitress who looked like Charlotte Cardin which was not very attentive & never came & poured us wine.
It's ok because everything else was great.
We will be going back there now also.
The food is really good & the portions are good too
This place makes you feel good you went for a nice steak dinner & everything went well.
The price is good considering the quality you are eating.
This is not a cheap place but well worth spending for what you get.
I recommend trying this place out & if your waitress looks like Charlotte Cardin then maybe ask to sit elsewhere.
So far The Kegs have all been good except for the Pointe-Claire location which is a joke.
Go try the Place Ville Marie location, you won't regret it or the old Montréal Keg.
The menu variety is awesome & don't forget to keep some room for dessert.
Go try it now you will thank me later
It's in the heart of downtown, the best location possible.
Call them & reserve or show up at the door they usually can help you either way.
GO NOW STOP PROCRASTINATING GET UP & TREAT YOURSELF & SOMEONE ELSE TO A GREAT MEAL, YOU DESERVE IT !!!!
GO TONIGHT OR ON THE WEEKEND, YOU WILL LOVE IT !
I am a regular traveler & I enjoy going out for supper. It never happened to me being received by someone at the reception desk with this question: At what time are you going to leave? .... That's the way I was received at The Keg Place Ville Marie yesterday evening...not quite welcoming !!! From then on the experience with the customer service was not the best. On the bright side the food quality was good. But it is not enough for me to return there again.
