This place never gets old. Well actually it gets older and older and thankfully doesn’t change. A true landmark in Montreal, and one of the best steakhouses with the most amazing old world decor anywhere in Canada. Stone and brick walls, fireplaces, low ceilings, complete warmth and coziness. The food never disappoints. Been coming here for nearly 40 years. I was fortunate to enjoy their new lunch menu, $55 for a 3 course meal with many options to choose from, 4 courses if you include the lemon sorbet pallet cleanser before the main course. Bread service and pickles are always included at no extra charge, as is the chocolate mints at the very end. Gibby’s simply has the best French onion soup anywhere. I was so excited when it came I forgot to take a picture, but trust me, beyond delicious, a must-have. The steak au poivre and rack of lamb are always great, and did not disappoint on this visit. Besides the food, service is always friendly and professional making the whole experience complete perfection. Come here for business day or night or pleasure, best date spot; you will not be disappointed. Ever.
Reviews / Ratings for Gibbys
Service was excellent. All our food was either over cooked, undercooked or tasteless. Needs variety on the menu. Too limited. And no birthday cake??? They could have told us when we booked. A lot of things have changed and not all for the better.
Went yesterday to celebrate our anniversary, the young lady that took us to our table was very nice and warm. Jason was our waiter and went above and beyond explaining the menu and checked on us constantly. For appetizers we had escargots and raw oysters (chuck norris from New Brunswick). The oysters were very fresh and delicious. As part of the table d’hote we also had Oyster Rockefeller - tasted very good as well. The Beef Wellington was amazing, I had the Pepper steak, which was seasoned perfectly; but, I recommend the Diane Steak that my daughter ordered. My son had Gibby’s Prime burger (medium rare) and according to him it was juicy and flavorful. The Monte Carlo potato as a side is delicious. We will definitely go back. The food is well worth it but Jason’s 5-star service made our dining experience a very memorable one.
We absolutely love Gibby’s. It’s been our go-to spot for every special occasion for years, and it never disappoints. From the moment you walk in, you feel genuinely welcomed. The atmosphere is warm and classic, and the service is consistently attentive without ever feeling overdone. The steak is always on point, perfectly cooked, high quality, and exactly what you expect every time. That consistency is what keeps us coming back. This place has become part of our traditions, and we’ll definitely continue going for years to come.
Great steak, atmosphere and service. Highly recommend
Vitali and Murad were incredible servers. Very knowledgeable, great storytellers and fun to be around. They really enhanced the experience
Vitali and Mourad were spectacular. Service was excellent and food was great. Highly recommend
We had an amazing lunch at Gibbys today. The food was excellent, but our server, Vitali, really made the experience special. His service was outstanding—attentive, professional, and friendly. Highly recommend!
Had a wonderful evening here with my girlfriend. The blue cheese wedge salad was one of the best I’ve ever had and the beef Wellington was excellent. Our servers Vitali and Marie-eve were awesome. Would definitely come back.
been coming for years...was there just this past weekend March 21, 2026. quality has seriously dropped. the iceberg wedge salad...swimming in low grade blue cheese dressing, no blue cheese. the filet mignon, weak presentation drowning in sauce, so much sauce, what are you trying to cover up? the hatchet job on the meat? the asparagus. looked like last night's leftovers, limp. Monte Carlo potatoes, they used to be made with care and a were a beautiful sight, this time around they were unsightly, very unappetizing. Service was great. we will have to find a new venue for our birthday celebrations.
In spite of it being a tourist trap, I recommend trying it once.
Gibby’s is our family’s go-to place for birthdays, and it has truly become a tradition for us over the years. At this point, coming here feels like a family heirloom, it’s the place where we celebrate our special moments together. The service is always impeccable, the steaks are consistently outstanding, and the overall experience is top-notch every single time. Everything about Gibby’s feels elevated and memorable. If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would.
Doesn’t do well with special occasions. It was so sad because I can tell the hostess meant well but I had a reservation for 16 for my birthday. It was for 9:30 and upon arrival we were told that it would only be 10m. They ended up “seating us” at 10:15pm right when we had a second reservation at 11 (half our group ended up straight up refusing to have dinner at a place that made us wait so long) We ended up leaving without our supper because I wasn’t going to eat my birthday dinner fast and I have a rule of never rush drinking wine. That being said, the excuse given was that the “previous group just wouldn’t leave” which is a bummer because I had reserved days in advance for 9:30 and was there on time. I wasted an hour plus on my birthday but at least we had a back up.
Amazing restaurant. Favourite in Montreal.
Amazing as always
We had a big birthday dinner. It was nice and fancy. One thing that disappointed me was there was only 1 chicken plate option.
I have been a patron of Gibbys my entire life. My family and I have been celebrating special occasions here for decades. My most recent experience last night was so disappointing, I felt I needed to leave a review. I was looking forward to a lovely evening for my mother’s 75th birthday. I had ordered the beef wellington before and It was excellent. However this time around, the entire meal was mediocre at best and the service, terrible. Firstly, for one of the most expensive restaurants in the city, I was surprised to enter the front door to a very old smelling atmosphere. Like dirty carpets and old wood. I think some renovations are in order. The bathrooms are also dingy and old which is never a good indicator of cleanliness. My filet mignon which I ordered medium (a common cuisson) arrived rare on the inside. It was returned back to the kitchen and was reheated cut open and returned back to me well done and dry. It was sent back for a second time and when returned back was now blue. Even rarer than the first time. My mother who’s birthday it was, ate her meal by herself. I did not want to return my meal back yet again for a third time. Most of the steak was left uneaten. We ordered dessert and coffee and finished our desserts by time the coffee arrived in a dirty cup with crusted on food that the waitress was scraping off in front of me with her nail. She seems annoyed when I asked for a clean cup, perhaps that was why I got water spilled all over me from her. Not even an apology. My mother was so upset that her birthday meal was ruined and her dinner companion (her daughter) sat and watched her eat, she cried. She felt she wanted to speak to the manager. My 75 year old mother has yet to be called back after leaving TWO messages. It seems that gibbys does not pride itself on the service and food quality it once did. I was sorry to hear the st sauver location closed down. I hope that is not an indication on what is to come for old montreal. Resolution: Two bring this review up to date. Last weekend, Gibby’s invited myself and my mother back for an all expenses paid dinner as an apology for the terrible experience. It was a lovely dinner. The food was good and the service was excellent by Nancy who was a doll.
Had a wonderful meal, charming quiet spot for lunch on a snowy day. Staff was extremely friendly. The food was delicious. I'm not the biggest fan of Montreal steak seasoning but the ribeye was still good. We'll definitely come back here next time we're in Montreal.
Had a wonderful lunch here with family for a party. Personally, I had the Gibbys Salad and the Pepper Steak which were both delicious! A thank you to Vitali, Alex M., and Adib for their great service and for making our experience more than enjoyable!
Fantastic service from Vitaly ! Would come back just for him :)
My partner and I wanted to enjoy a nice steak dinner and came across Gibbys upon our research. We had an incredible experience, from the ambiance, service, to the food. Definitely a 10/10, we’re already looking forward to our next dining experience at Gibbys!
Went last week with my friends & absolutely loved the atmosphere , the decor was as if we went back in times with a touch of modernity. The drinks were great & our sirloin steak were cooked perfectly but the service of our server Benafsha was amazing ,very attentive service . Would definitely come back
A true Montreal classic! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dinner at Gibbys Steakhouse was outstanding from start to finish. The food was absolutely unbelievable, perfectly prepared and full of flavor. A special thank you to Diane for the incredible service — she truly made our evening memorable with her attention and warmth. If you’re in Montreal and looking for an amazing steakhouse experience, Gibbys is a must.
A Montreal institution that needs no introduction. To me, best steakhouse in the city. Great, straight to the point food. Old school vibe but sometimes, that’s just what you need. Fair value in times where restaurants are going completely nuts with their prices. You don’t feel robbed leaving this place.
Was there in January with a large group on Saturday night. Very busy place. To keep it short and sweet I’ll get to the point. It’s a feeding factory. They are quite good at feeding masses of people in a relatively short time. Atmosphere is hectic and chaotic. If you’re idea of sitting in a loud and noisy cramped cave on a Saturday night is charming then go ahead. Our waiter provided good service. Food is another story. Rib Steak at $85 was cooked properly and taste was not bad. However the quality is of the lowest grade. Tough and chewy and I kid you not I had difficulty cutting it with a steak knife.. Monte Carlo potato was extremely sad and pathetic looking with no taste. Very bland.. operating costs are high in establishments like this and I understand they are trying to turn a profit but upper management who does the purchasing should be ashamed of themselves for buying the lowest grade of product At least the pickles were good Extremely overrated
