Vieux-Port Steakhouse

We went here for Christmas Eve dinner & opted for their special holiday menu. The restaurant had a great atmosphere & was understandably very busy for the occasion. Overall, the food was good, & the meat was definitely the highlight of the meal-perfectly cooked exactly how I requested & full of flavour. You can really tell that meat is their strong point & what they do best.

Service was a bit on the slower side, but given that it was Christmas Eve & the restaurant was packed with a special menu running, it was completely understandable. Desserts were enjoyable, although the crème brûlée was slightly lacking in flavour compared to the rest of the meal. Still, the quality of the meat more than made up for it.

La nourriture est délicieuse & le service impeccable. Malgré une erreur dans notre commande, la serveuse a su rattraper la situation avec des excuses sincères & un dessert offert par le restaurant. L'ambiance était calme lors de notre visite, sans être trop achalandée.

This is the first restaurant I've ever visited during my trip to Montreal. The steak was delicious, & the beer was tender. The cream frule I had for dessert was especially delicious. Above all, it created a very sweet atmosphere for the cute server. Thank you.Nouha♡

I took the family to Montreal & wanted to try a local restaurant instead of a chain restaurant, such as Keg (beside it). Maybe it's just me, but I found the service subpar compared to other parts of Canada. Our busboy (Alex) was more helpful than our actual waiter. We had the crème brulee & cheesecake for dessert; I would have saved them for somewhere else. The steak is decent for the price.

This steakhouse has become one of our go-to spots whenever we're in Montreal. The setting is lovely - the interior decor complements the charm of Old Montreal beautifully, & in the summer, the back patio is especially nice. With soft lighting in the evening, it feels both cozy & welcoming.

The food has always been excellent, from appetizers to dessert. Every dish we've tried has been well-prepared & flavorful. The staff are friendly & attentive, which makes the experience even more enjoyable.

It's a place we keep coming back to - a reliable favorite for a good meal in a relaxed, comfortable setting.

Monosh was a great server. Everything was delicious & I was impressed with the speed & quality of service. We waited a little bit for our initial drink orders, which we thought was fine, but the restaurant went above & beyond & comped our dessert to make up for it.

We had an incredible dinner at Vieux-Port Steakhouse to celebrate my Fiancé's birthday, & it was perfect from start to finish. The atmosphere is elegant & welcoming, & the service was exceptional; our server was so kind, funny, & really made the evening feel special. They even surprised us with a birthday dessert, which was such a thoughtful touch!

The food was absolutely phenomenal, some of the best we've had in Montreal. Every dish was beautifully prepared & full of flavor. We loved our entire experience & would highly recommend this place for a special night out. Can't wait to go back!

It was pleasure eating at the Vieux Port Steakhouse. Our waiter Jimmy was very personable & made our night a very special one. The Cesar salad was just right. Creamy dressing. I had the 10oz NY Steak & it was cooled right but would love a little more flavor & less fat. For dessert I had carrot cake. Oooo so yummy & what a large portion. Took some home because it was that big. I will eat here again. Great ambiance, & great staff

Our waiter jimmy was soooo sweet & had a very friendly & approachable personality! The small talk he made was personable & he made us feel welcomed in the restaurant. Asked us about our day, where we are from & what we like to do. I would definitely come back here service is impeccable. Food came with good speed & tasted pretty good too. Lastly the sizes of the meals from apps, to mains, to desserts are more than perfect for the price. Better than most restaurants P.S I love the mango mojito!!!! Thank you for having us, this place is a must on your dining list.

We had a fantastic time! We came across the restaurant while being true tourists mezmorized by the character & charm of Old Montréal. Inside, we were met immediately with smiling service & seating next to the front window. The atmosphere was casual but beautiful with stunning architecture. Our server Jo was superb, assisting us in wine pairings, ensuring our glasses never emptied, & recommended his favorite dessert. He even indulged our tourist antics & humored us with our excessive appreciation of each bite. The food....incredible! The best prepared steak we have ever had, not an exaggeration! We savored each bite, eating slowly to absorb the flavors & became saddened as we consumed the last bite. Everything about our experience was marvelous, & unlike any restaurant before, in Montréal, at home or other destinations. Thank you Jo & chefs for a memorable evening.

We had the ribeye steak & lobster we fast for it to be medium rare & it was exactly what we want, it was so good It was very tender Melt in your mouth juicy a perfect steak I'm getting hungry thinking about it. & the lobster was awesome, cooked just right it came with some very rich melted butter. Our waiter Monosh was excellent & right on when he recommend our wine seeing that we don't know French wines & it couldn't have been a better wine CHOICE. He also helped us decide on which dessert we should have. It was so yummy. Thank you Monosh for doing everything you could to make our evening perfect . Excellent dinner we really enjoyed our evening. Questions

I enjoyed the outdoor patio & the decor. However, the seating wasn't the most comfortable compared to other restaurants in this category. Including taxes & tip, our bill for two people was over $260. The drinks were fine & met expectations, but nothing significant or memorable. The pour was reasonable for the price. We shared the Fried Calamari, which was perfectly done, & the dessert, a Crème Brûlée, was very good. Here is the big disappointment: Given they are next door to a famous steakhouse franchise, I expected Vieux-Port Steakhouse, a small restaurant, to exceed the quality of a mass-production franchise chain. We ordered two steaks, one medium & the other medium rare. Both were dry & overcooked, & even seemed boiled, with no smoke taste or signs of char-grilled cooking. Thankfully, the sauce made it easier to eat. The staff saw my dry, uninspiring steak but never bothered to ask if I was satisfied with my meal. It felt like she knew & was afraid to ask, perhaps fearful of the owner or chef. Owners should always encourage quality in their food, especially since most people today can make a simple steak & expect a professional chef to do the same. The restaurant had very few patrons, so it wasn't a case of being busy, just a careless Sunday crew (or the B Team). I am typically not this critical in reviews, but at this price point, there is an expectation, especially for a restaurant located in the food capital of Canada. I would encourage the chef to invest in a thermometer for steaks to avoid costly food waste & negative reviews. Given the many positive reviews, I might be an isolated case. I hope to visit again someday with a different experience.

This place is touted as one of the better Steakhouses in Montreal. We were very disappointed in our entire experience, starting from the host, the waiters & even the quality of the food. We went there to celebrate my daughter's birthday. When we got there, I told the host that we were celebrating her birthday & that I would like if they could bring the dessert (that I was planning to order) with a little candle. He said that he would mention to the waiter (which he clearly didnt). After we were seated, outside, on a 2-person table, no one showed up to take our order. Soon after, 2 young girls walked in & were seated right next to us. Not sure who they were, but every single waiter came by their table, sometimes 2 waiters at a time, & kept talking to those girls, quite loudly. Needless to say, all the waiting staff were preoccupied with these two girls (perhaps they were the daughters of the owner who knows). Our service was pathetic, & we had to suffer this crowd of waiters coming to talk to the girls sitting next to our table, which made our dinner experience quite miserable. The steak we ordered was'meh' !! We have had much better in Montreal, in couple of other restaurants. The vegetables were boiled!! Yuck. Nothing to give a good review. When we ordered the dessert, the host (who by the way did stop by to talk to those girls) completely forgot to bring out a candle. By this time, we were disgusted with the whole experience. To top it all, the waiter, who was rather pushy & cocky, promptly shows me how to put in the 15% tip (I was looking for the custom tip button, to not tip at that level), but he punched in the 15% number for me, & it went through. I was mad at myself for not standing up to him & going back on the handheld billing machine to fix the tip. But oh well, if you are celebrating or wanting a nice dinner, do not go here. There are better places around, for your money's worth & with better service & ambience. For the owner- Please dont tell us to visit again to give you the chance to make it right. We are visiting Montreal & will never visit your restaurant again. If anything, you may want to refund me my service tip amount, which was not deserved to be given.

We had the Filet Mignon & it was cooked to absolute perfection. The servers were very attentive from the moment we sat down right up to dessert. Highly recommend.

I went for a solo dinner (which I hate doing) & the service was impeccable. Initially when I asked for a table for one I felt like I was an inconvenience. I like to read my book & take my time when I'm alone; I don't like being rushed. My server was Fadi & he could have not have been more respectful if he tried. From timing the various courses (at my snail pace) to a complimentary dessert & just the right amount of conversation I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I don't order steak at restaurants anymore so I won't speak to the "steakhouse" name. I selected this restaurant because I was looking for some comfort food & when I saw truffle Mac & cheese on the menu I decided to give it a go. It was the best Mac & cheese I have ever had. Ever. It sounds silly. But it was. The wine menu was quite overpriced, as it is with most restaurants in this area, so I don't discount the restaurant on that account. I don't leave reviews often but after trying 5-6 different places in the old port this was my favourite so far. So it warranted at least this. In my experience, it's worth a try. Thank you Fabi & Simon for a wonderful experience
