    We were there on April 24th 2025, we both had steaks a filet and a ribeye, both were cooked perfectly and tasted fantastic, we had chilled oysters for an appetizer they salty and delicious a little on the small size but delicious. The star of the show was the Monte Cristo potatoes. you will just have to go and try them. Our waiter was excellent and funny. We will go back.

    Good atmosphere and attentive service however food was disappointing. My wife fell ill after taking the salmon tartare. The shrimp cocktail was reasonable but not particularly tasty. The beef fillet I ordered came “blue” - raw and cold inside - rather than medium rare and after I asked for it to be cooked a bit more it came back charcoaled and without the French fries which were with it. Looking at the website and at some of the reviews had great expectations but were unfortunately disappointed.

    Absolutely phenomenal experience! Hands down the best steak I’ve had in Montreal — cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. This place is officially my new go-to steakhouse. What made the night even better was the service. Our waiter, Kamel, was incredible — truly 100/10. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Friendly, attentive, and just an all-around amazing person. If you go, ask for Kamel — you won’t regret it. Can’t wait to come back!
    Méchant BoeufResponded on 16 April 2025
    Wow, what an amazing review — thank you so much! We’re beyond happy to know we’ve become your new go-to steakhouse in Montreal. Hearing that both the steak and Kamel’s outstanding service left such a strong impression truly means the world to us. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him — he’ll be thrilled! We can’t wait to welcome you back for another dinner with us !

    The beef was tasty and cooked as we asked. The service initially was very slow - the slow when you sit there and consider leaving kind of slow. It was a Sunday, so it was not busy. Our server was inexperienced. Once we got over the bad start it got better. We also enjoyed the oysters we ordered.
    Méchant BoeufResponded on 16 April 2025

Your comments about the service are valuable, and we'll be sure to address the concerns with our team to ensure a smoother experience in the future.

    Trop bruyant et en plus musique d'ascenseur. Service familier et peu rapide et surtout viandes et frites beaucoup beaucoup trop salés et ça dans tous les assiettes. On ne reviendra pas, c'est pas grave
