Joe Beef - Montreal, Quebec

First time at Joe Beef, after hoping to visit for many years, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Highly professional and friendly service, fantastic food, great atmosphere. Everything is well considered and thought of in this restaurant, and it shows. A great experience overall.

I've been here multiple times but the last trip was one of the best restaurant experiences my wife and I have had in Montreal. Our waiter was absolutely marvelous, and took extra care to ensure our meal was perfect and suitable for our dietary restrictions. My wife is a picky ... vegetarian and typically hates fine dining as they typically offer a plate of vegetables or salads. Our waiter worked with the chef to create a cheese plate, and sides including morel mushrooms which she was enamored with. I have an allergy to alcohol and eating french food tends to be difficult due to just about everyone having alcohol in it. Our waiter worked with the chef to adjust sauces to allow me to try some of the most amazingly delightful and delicious French food I've had. The sweetbreads were delicious, the pork was perfect, and the morels were out of this world. Read more

Intimate yet lively spot for an incredible meal. The perfect place to get a little dressed up, enjoy a few drinks, and splurge on some very high quality dishes. Hangar steak was tender, juicy, and flavorful all on its own. A true beef: what other beefs aspire to taste like. ... The optional mushroom sauce added a complex flavor profile, but I felt the steak could certainly stand on its own too. Veggie platter was large, filling, and tasted fresh off the farm. Not the mention, the generous helping of shrimp, fish, and cuttlefish. The raw tuna was aesthetically unorthodox, but paired with the tomato and caper sauce, was bright, tart, and surprising. I definitely recommend Joe Beef for a special dinner in a darling neighborhood! Read more

Wowwwww joe beef did not disappoint. Heard great things before arriving into town. We were able to secure a same day reservation and arrived hungry. We shared the bread (which was insanely good, so good we ordered 3 orders for 5 people, and ate it all, and then talked about it ... on the walk home) Steak for two, was wonderfully prepared. The lobster spaghetti, also incredible. Oysters and veggie platter. Everything was amazing. I will return next trip to Montreal. Honorable mention, great NA beer for me and they had frozen olives in the martinis for my drinking friends. Highly recommend joe beef Read more

Best meal of my life!!! My husband and I got married in 2019, and then the world fell apart, so my husband and I have been looking forward to this - a meal 5 years in the making!! It's 5 star dining 🍽 ✨️ 😍 but without the pretentiousness. It feels ... like you're sitting in Grandma's kitchen. ❤️ What a beautiful memory. I was overwhelmed; and it was like that scene in Ratatouille where the food critic tastes the food and is transported in his memory to his childhood. You will not regret it. Make reservations *at least* a month prior, two is better. Read more
