Joe Beef Montreal Reviews

Excellent service and food. The lobster pasta is overhyped but go for their protein dishes like the steak or duck … and the escargot is a classic. Their specials are always creative and something original to try. You won’t be disappointed ! The s
A foodie must
Another place we spotted on Anthony Bourdain show, lovely atmosphere lots of little spaces which didn’t make it feel large and soulless. Loved the decor very quirky. Staff were really helpful explaining the menu and helping us to choose wine. Some
Seafood, Snails, and Sips: "The Joe Beef Experience You Can’t Miss”
Dining at Joe Beef was a memorable experience that balanced on the edge of indulgence. Yes, the prices are steep, but the seasonal flavors and quality of ingredients made it feel worth the splurge. We ordered the seafood platter, and while everything
Dashed Expectations & An Empty Wallet
We walked in expecting a spectacular meal based on recommendations made by family and friends. The first thing that hit us was the noise level: we could barely hear ourselves think. Even though the waiter was only 3 feet away, I had no idea what he w
Lovely place, food and service
What a delightful experience. We were lucky to get a last minute booking. We had the duck and the hanger steak. delicious and well cooked jus as meat should be paired with amazing sauces that did not overwhelm the meet. Staff were amazing in desc
Wonderful meal
We had a great meal here! The waiter made wonderful recommendations and everything was delicious. Fun decor, too. Lobster spaghetti and coupe glacé were especially delicious!
Must Visit for Foodies !!
Dining at this spot was truly unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, unpretentious, and full of character — like an old friend’s home who just happens to be an insanely good chef. Every dish was layered, indulgent,
A wonderful evening out.
Our experience was stellar. We originally had reservations the night before but my partner was feeling under the weather. I left a voicemail and they not only moved the rez to the next night but remembered it was a birthday dinner. Every staff member
Great vibe and food
Our daughter studies in Montreal and picked the restaurant for us. I hadn't heard of its reputation so can't comment on whether it matches the hype. But what it does really well: - unusual "granny-chic" dining room - very engagi
Amazing dinner, great evening.
This little gem is hidden away ftom the business center of Montreal. There is some street parking, and the area is full of local hot spots. Joe Beef is cramped, always busy, and feels like walking through a never ending house party. There are severa
Reasons To Be Cheerful (Despite The Weather)
On a damp evening, this place was packed to the gunnels, giving it a warm and inviting atmosphere. Staff very good at explaining the menu and advising on the specials and on our wine selection (bang on in both respects). We were shown promptly to ou
You will be full and it will be so worth it
OMG! What a fabulous dining experience. Be prepared for something special. Lots of play with texture, temperature, flavors, colors. The egg in the jar and the foie gras terrine were stand outs. Order dessert even if you are full - the almond cake
Joe Beef - expensive, but does not disappoint!
My wife and I came to Montreal to explore the city prior to a national conference that I was attending. I had asked some friends who knew Montreal well for their recommendations, and Joe Beef was on one of the lists. I was able to secure an early 5:1
Cozy place, delicious food and great service
Really enjoyed our meal here - delicious food, cooked and seasoned to perfection, beautifully presented. Staff were very attentive and knowledgeable and made us feel so welcome. Overall, great atmosphere, would recommend.
Great restaurant
Lucky to get a reservation here. Got to book early. The food is worth the efforts. The spaghetti and steaks are amazing. Great restaurant.
That Lobster Spaghetti...
Now although it's named JoeBeef it's not strictly a steakhouse as one might think. They also serve a lot of seafood including delicious oysters which seems to be served everywhere in Montreal. Oysters are so good here. I can't even explain it. We had
Exceptional restaurant
Joe Beef exceeded my high expectations. The food and drinks was delicious. Amazing surf and turf. Exceptional restaurant in Montreal.
Absolutely awesome dinner ❤️
We found this restaurant in a guidebook, which said it was a must for Montreal. To be fair you would struggle to get a poor meal here but this restaurant is pure, warm Canadian hospitality and a lovely vibe. Having seen some less complimentary review
YUM!
This is our second time at Joe Beef. We were here many years ago and loved our experience then so much that we had to come back. We were not disappointed! The ambiance was bumping (we were seated at the back which appeared to be more chill than the
One of the best restaurants
Food is really amazing. Not surprised it is consistently rated one of the best restaurants in Canada. Really enjoyed the lobster spaghetti and steak. The wine selection was great too.
Fantastic
I wanted to see for myself if all the popularly was accurate. It certainly was. I went during the week and was able to get 1 spot at the bar. It was tight quarters but that wasn’t a concern. Even though I was solo the server treated me like was
Montreal's best
Amazing food experience. I've been going twice a year for 6 or 7 years and not once has this establishment disappointed me. The staff is friendly and approachable. The food is epic every time, and the menu changes regularly. At this point we have our
Never again
Food wasn’t that great Way over priced 20 years I want to try this restaurant Very disappointed
So much butter!
If you're looking for Spago , this is not the place for you.Something uniquely quirky Montreal. My daughter found it via TikTok. The decor is rustic, but with a touch of cosmopolitan. The front could be a butcher shop. An amusingly unpretentious
An absolute must visit for anyone who considers themselves a "foodie".
It wouldn't be a foodie trip to Montréal without a visit to Joe Beef, so I was glad to be able to get a reservation on a Friday night to try it out for myself! I was dining solo this night and the restaurant caters extremely well to solo diners, wi
Above and beyond hospitality
Heard from a friend that Joe Beef was doing vegetarian options. I thought that meant they added vegetarian stuff to the menu. Went there with my vegetarian bf and there were no vegetarian things on the menu so the chef made us a special 4 course meal
very disapointed
I was looking forward to eating at Joe Beef for long time. After entering the restaurant, staff was polite and made sure to keep your glasses filled. Looked at the menu and realized very few items on the said menu, but worst of all I was looking at w
Underwhelming
A bunch of people recommended that we dine here in Montreal. Extremely underwhelming, especially for the price. Both beef dishes were unevenly cooked medium-well to well-done (not asked for cooking preference, and we realized this after the fact). We
Wonderful
Absolutely incredible! Mike made our experience so much better with great cocktails and helping us navigate the menu! This is a must visit place in Montreal!
Good, but not life-changing
I think like most people who venture to Joe Beef, our expectations were just way too high from watching the exploits of Anthony Bourdain and his visits and partying with founder David McMillan . I will say that we had exceptional service here, and en
Living up to the hype!
First things first, my partner and I didn't expect that Joe Beef would have a Michelin star so my partner and I's expectation were close to none. Secondly, The service was impeccable! We were able to do reservation at very last minute and they welco
So sad
For the first time Joe Beef was terrible, my duck was cold and all I could taste was salt! The razor clam was simply that, one chopped up clam, tasteless! and $15! I was even disappointed in the cocktail! It was in a 4 oz glass I think, maybe 2 sips,
Underwhelming!
Wow! What a horrendous experience! They sat us at the bar in the back which was fine with us. We ordered butternut squash soup which was good. We ordered the endive salad which we expressed we don’t like goat cheese and the bartender said it was j
Memorable experience
Excellent friendly service , outstanding food, great atmosphere. What Montreal has best to offer. Highly recommended

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Joe Beef Montreal. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Joe Beef Montreal at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Joe Beef Montreal page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Joe Beef Montreal to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Joe Beef Montreal!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
