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.View more

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.View more

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!View more

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 staffView more

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.View more

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.View more

We were visiting Montreal & stayed close by so decided to try the steakhouse. Jimmy our waiter was great even though the place filled up fast. He was kind & attentive as well as efficient. The food was great but the dessert was perfect. Thank you for a wonderful dinner experience.View more

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. QuestionsView more

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.View more

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.View more

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.View more

Amazing steaks & incredible service by Fadi & Simon. I also recommend the chocolat mousse as a dessert!View more

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 experienceView more

Thank you Vieux-Port Steakhouse staff & especially Elias & our hostess that took our reservation at such short notice (whom I unfortunately cannot remember the name of). We came to celebrate our first wedding anniversary & Elias helped me secure a good table by the fireplace beforehand as well as some choice champagne & wine to go with the dinner, as well as helped make the dessert special too! I had the surf & turf half lobster & steak & she had the striploin. The food was amazing & so was the atmosphere. We were only visiting Montreal but this has definitely been added to our list of reasons to return!View more

We went for the Valentine's Day menu. Overall ambience was quite nice, service was decent with a few check-ins from the wait staff. The food was good, we had the filet mignon with red velvet & chocolate mousse cakes for dessert. Wasn't the best dishes I've ever had but fairly good.View more
Matt
The food & ambiance were incredible & even more impressive was our server Monosh! We asked for his favorites including wine, appetizer, main & dessert. We went with all of his recommendations & they were superb. What a great experience for our 20 year wedding anniversary with the very best server!View more

Lovely steakhouse in the historic Old Port of Montreal. The atmosphere is cozy & romantic blending old world bricks, a fireplace, & tastful decor. We ordered from the December special & the value was fantastic. Appetizer, filling main & a dessert. It cost about $200 with all our food & a few drinks each but could easily have cost more.View more

This is definitely a place you'd like to eat when traveling to Montréal. It is a bit pricey at first glance online but totally worth it. A very intimate restaurant. I decided on the prefix menu that includes a salad, entree, & dessert. My filet mignon was cooked to perfection, it was like butter. Our server Monosh was very attentive & on point from beginning to end. He took our order & we received it exactly as requested including any changes/requests. A must try!View more

Très décevant. Accueil en anglais. Plusieurs serveurs ne parlent pas français. Pas du tout.
Nourriture beaucoup trop grasse. Service inadéquat. Un exemple. On m'offre le poivre alors que j'ai déjà terminé mon potage! Un convive a eu un dessert spécial vu sa déception par rapport à son repas.
Un des employés senior passait son temps à corriger les autres serveurs n'ayant aucune idée de ce qu'ils
doivent faire.
J'y suis allé à quelques reprises & c'est maintenant terminé. Je ne recommande pas ce restaurant à quiconque.

brunch de Pâques 2018 tres décevant. Le service était manquant. Les plats chauds ne se remplissaient pas au moment opportun & le temps d attendre pour les convives était frustrant. Manque d assiettes principales au début du Brunch pour ainsi pourvoir se servir . Repas décevant pour une journée ou l on prend le temps de sortir & de souligner la belle fete de Pâques. Salades peu recherchées(salade de chou,ect),& retrouvons vers 14hres15 environ, la table de dessert avec deux choix de dessert ( biscuit au beurre d arachide & petits desserts glacé au café?) Ou sont rendus les autres choix de dessert qu il y avait en début de brunch? Heureusement, nous avons eu le plaisir de nous faire faire notre omelette par un chef professionnel & gentil. C était la deuxieme fois que nous allions au restaurant, la premiere fois, nous étions au brunch du jour de l an de janvier 2017 & c était fameux. Avec l expérience que nous avons eu aujourd hui, je ne sais pas si nous allons retourner au restaurant.

J'y suis allé à l'occasion de l'événement Happening Gourmand & j'ai choisi le Surlonge de Boeuy avec la salade de type jardinière en entrée. J'avais aussi droit à un dessert (mousse aux bleeuts ou chocolats), le tout pour 25$ par personne. Rien de spécial, la pièce de viande était cuite comme demandée, & servie avec des patates & fèves vertes, mais très petites portions. Serveur très professionnel, mais pour la bouffe, lorsque ce n,est pas à prix réduit, j'éviterais. On peut facilement manger un steak bien meilleur ailleurs (Keg & Moishe's), au même prix.

I decided to give this resturant a try after seeing it listed on Happening Gourmand. My boyfriend & i both ordered salads for our entree. They brought him escargot. He said he ordered the salad. they then brought him the soup. Again he asked for the salad & finally got it.We both ordered our steaks to be cooked medium. When he started cutting into this we saw that it was rare. The waiter only offered to throw it back on the grill, wouldnt even bring him a new steak. Desserts were just as impressive. It had to be the worst creme brule I've ever had. For the prices they charge I would expect a friendly waiter & to at least have the food cooked the way you ordered it. I will never go here again.
