This is a review about redemption. My wife and I and friends visited Gibby’s in January and it was not what we had hoped it would be. There were issues with one of the steaks and the service was mediocre. I posted a detailed review and I was very pleasantly surprised when I was contacted by Fatima Roman, the floor manager. She offered us the option of returning and having the restaurant comp our main courses. I have always maintained that the mark of an excellent organization is not that they never fail, rather what they do when they fail to meet their standards. Well, we returned last night and we were treated like royalty by Fatima and the Director General, Jose Lourenco. The service and food lived up to and exceeded our expectations. And our cocktails and a dessert were comped as well. The restaurant more than redeemed itself and we will continue to patronize it, as we have for decades.

One of the city's iconic steak house in the heart of Old Montreal. It's pricey but it's a unique dining treasure restaurant located in an historical 17th century stone building.

Gibbys used to feel like such a safe haven — a true institution known for comfort food and consistency. While we appreciated seeing some younger, fresh faces on staff and noticed a few updates, we were genuinely surprised to find that — other than hen — there is no chicken dish on the menu. Really? Did no one notice? They used to serve a lovely Chicken Kiev, which many of us remember fondly. I mentioned this concern to reception twice before, but unfortunately felt dismissed. It’s disappointing. Gibby would surely turn over in his grave, and Claudia would not be pleased. I suppose all good things eventually come to an end — but we had hoped Gibbys would remain one of the exceptions.

Vitaly, Justin, Charlie and Martin were stellar, we had a huge group and stayed way later than appropriate but they were all amazing the entire night (Vitaly was our main server). Incredible place

We’ve tried their lunch and as always their meat is just so good. They even give you a sorbet after the appetizer to clean your palate. The only thing I didn’t like is the dessert which is a pecan pie and it’s just too sweet. Try the boeuf a Diane, it’s so good. They have valet parking so it’s a big plus considering how busy it is in the summer or when weather is good.

Very disappointed with my recent experience at Gibbys. I made a reservation for 8:00 PM and arrived exactly on time, yet I was still asked to wait in line. If guests respect your schedule and show up as requested, their time should be respected as well. To make matters worse, I left my name and number for a manager to follow up, and never received a call. Gibbys used to feel like a special place to go out, with a certain standard and atmosphere. Now it seems that standard has slipped, with people being admitted in very casual attire like sweatpants. Whatever happened to maintaining a dress code and the experience that made this restaurant stand out? Honestly, what a shame.

Gibby's is by far one of the best restaurants we have ever been to. From the amazing architecture to the romantic atmosphere. Our Server, Justin, provided attentive and personal service, ensuring that our entire experience was the best it could possibly be. In addition to the best steak we have ever had, the Old Fashioned was tough to beat. While the cost was high, we truly got what we paid for and would do it again. This is a must for anyone in Montreal.

Usually my go to for important life celebration and fancy food. This review is only marked down because of my own feelings and should not be considered in your decision to eat there or not. They took away the chicken Kiev and that was my favorite. I have yet to go back since and really miss it. I only am doing this so that if the owners see it they might consider bringing it back.

It's so sad to see this iconic restaurant having lost its edge. The steak was pretty good, but that's about it. The salad is different, the monte carlo was inedible, as were the desserts. I don't need to go back, too bad.

Gibbys, just one word and I will say it in my mother tongue, French: Magistral! World class service, superb food, and you know, when you do a classic like Escargots à la Bourguignonne way better than most of your peers (especially way better than those who are supposed to deliver the best version of that), and that is your case, all I can say is "Salut l'artiste!". Impressed I was! And not to forget the tableside Brazilian coffee: I am sure you already know that, but this is a first in Montreal. And that was also very very world class. You will win many hearts with that one (not that you are not already winning hearts. Of course you do: your dining rooms were packed to the brim when I was there!).

We had an absolutely wonderful dinner at Gibbys last night. The historic and cozy atmosphere was stunning, but what truly made our evening unforgettable was the exceptional service.​We visited with our three children, which can sometimes be a bit challenging, but our server, Sarah, was incredibly kind and attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure our kids were comfortable and well-taken care of. Thanks to her warm hospitality, our family gathering became the best dining experience we’ve had in Montreal.​The steaks were cooked to perfection, and the entire course—from the pickles to the cheese cake—was delightful. If you’re looking for a place with great food and a heart-warming atmosphere, I highly recommend Gibbys. Special thanks to Sarah for making our night so special!💕

I've been to this restaurant twice (once it was fine). But last time the service was terrible. We came as a group, and no waiter came to our table for a long time. When we asked for the check, we waited a long time, and then waited another 25 minutes for the payment terminal. But the worst thing was that the oysters we got were spoiled. The beaf tartare smelled bad.

We come from vacations and we saw this restaurant online and looks so good and I went yesterday with my partner to have dinner , the vibes , the food and everything was excellent , definitely a restaurant I will come back but it was a issue with my experience at this restaurant the service was really bad, I think his name is Salomon ( sorry if I don’t remember his name) he was nice at the beginning but after he took out order that was it , he stop taking care of our table , we finish the salad and he never removed our plates we finish our meal and he did not take our plates away, he serve us water and the glass was dirty, he just stop approaching to us , and you can tell he was just talking with the tables who order bottles of wines ( we’re about to buy one but after seeing that we don’t want it anymore)I believe if you go to a fancy and expensive restaurant you are expected to have a really nice quality of food and a excellent experience with the service, in the other hand his co worker he took care of us so we decided to tip him instead that our “ server “ anyways , the food is was delicious so we are coming back, but definitely the manager need to have a talk with this guy. And hoping you guys can read my review!

If you’re looking for a classic, upscale steakhouse experience in Old Montreal, Gibbys absolutely delivers. From the moment you step inside, the historic stone walls and warm lighting create an elegant, intimate atmosphere that feels timeless. It’s the kind of place that’s perfect for anniversaries, client dinners, or a refined night out. The food is outstanding. The steaks are cooked perfectly to temperature — tender, flavorful, and expertly seasoned. The lobster is fresh and beautifully presented, and the sides are generous and satisfying. Everything feels thoughtfully prepared and high quality. Service is another highlight. The staff are professional, attentive, and knowledgeable without being intrusive. They guide you through the menu and wine list with confidence, making the whole evening feel seamless. Yes, it’s on the premium side price-wise, but the quality, ambiance, and consistency make it worth it. Gibbys is a true Montreal classic — and for good reason. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates a traditional steakhouse done right.

Best dining experience in Montreal. We were visiting for a weekend looking for a nice restaurant that was kid friendly. The food was great, but Charlie’s service was fantastic. Highly recommend.

This was our third visit to Gibbys in just over two months and it was incredible again. Sarah and Claude were amazing. Sarah was our waitress two weeks ago too, and we were so happy to see her again. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly medium rare and my girlfriend’s sea bass was delicious. We had French onion soup to start and a spicy margarita in a martini glass, which was so good. We cannot wait to come back.

Absolutely horrible experience. Given this restaurant’s reputation as one of the best steakhouses in Montreal, we had high expectations and were eager to try it. Unfortunately, the service was extremely poor. Our server rushed through every interaction despite the restaurant not being busy, which made the experience feel careless and impersonal. After waiting over an hour and a half for our steaks, our appetite was already gone. To make matters worse, the steak I ordered medium arrived well done and was essentially inedible. For a steak priced at over $100, the quality of the food, service, and overall ambiance was unacceptable , especially for a Valentine’s Day dinner. This was far from the experience one would expect at a restaurant of this caliber.

We had a wonderful experience here! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was warm and romantic, perfect for celebrating a birthday as a couple. The complimentary birthday cake was beautiful and very tasty. A special thank you to Genevieve for being so attentive, kind, and friendly throughout our visit. We truly appreciated the thoughtful service and had a very happy celebration here.
