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.

I really hoped that the food would have been better. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, it's quite good, but it doesn't stand out at all from the other quality steaks I've had. That plus the price tag made it underwhelming for me. In terms of atmosphere, it's a very cool looking place. The staff are very polite and professional but the crowd that eats there have off a very arrogant and pretentious vibe.

Gibbys is an amazing establishment with absolutely unforgettable food, service, ambience, and very cool history. I'm not sure if Kas still works there, but he was our server and literally was my favorite person I met in Montreal for our long weekend getaway. We were there a YEAR ago and I haven't forgotten about Gibbys and Kas! Everything we had was perfect delicious. We will definitely return next time we're in Montreal! Photos shared too!

We came here for my boyfriend’s birthday with high expectations but were disappointed. The night started with me asking a few questions about wines, which the waiter didn’t seem to have much knowledge on, instead of asking someone else he specifically said the Riesling was a sweet wine and wouldn’t pair with steak, however after a quick google search, the wine is a dry minerally wine, which I don’t expect a server to know every wine, but I wouldn’t recommend saying your not sure than giving false information. He then went to ask the sommelier for a recommendation, but he didn’t ask us what type of wine we were looking for, and came back to suggest a 130$ bottle, with the only reasoning that it was recommended. With no proper explanation of the wine I wouldn’t purchase a 130$ bottle. Also if there is a sommelier, why are they not sent to the table to help pick a wine or recommendation? Also when we came back with the recommendation, he brought the menu to my boyfriend even though I had been the ones asking the question?? For the steaks, the waiter asked if we wanted the steak spices on top or on the side, and the waiter wrote it down on his notepad, which my boyfriend asked for the spices on the side, yet we were served steaks with spices on them. (In my opinion it makes it worse if it written down and the mistake is made) . We decided not to say anything on the spot as the steak is still yummy and doesn’t seem worth wasting a while piece of meat for a simple mistake. In the reservation we had made a note that we were celebrating his birthday. At the end of the meal after asking for the bill, the waiter brought the bill and was about to get the card machine, and came back to say he heard it was a birthday, and said he would be right back. He brought out a cake which is presumably their policy, but he didn’t ask us first, which yes it is nice but neither me or my boyfriend particularly wanted cake, so we ate some of it out of guilt of a whole cake brought out. The steaks were good, also the German Riesling was a good dry white wine with steaks. The experience with the wine really tainted my experience, I know it is not a wine bar but at a restaurant where the bill is over 300$ you would hope to have a better service. At the end they take a picture on a Polaroid and give it to you which is cute. With the whole experience I don’t count myself coming back or recommending it to anyone either.

I debated even writing this review, as I don’t usually leave restaurant reviews—positive or negative. I received a gift card to Gibby’s for Christmas and was genuinely excited to return. The gift card was purchased over the phone and was ready for pickup at the time of our reservation, which went smoothly. We were seated at a very tight table for two, with our chairs wedged between the backs of neighboring tables. While uncomfortable, we managed to settle in without disrupting other diners. Shortly after, another couple was seated at the table beside us, requiring us to stand—with drinks in hand—to allow them access to their seats. Unfortunately, this became a recurring issue throughout the evening. Our server, Sebastian, repeatedly squeezed past us to pour water, take orders, and deliver food, frequently bumping into me without offering an apology. The neighboring table eventually raised concerns about the lack of space and was reassigned, which once again required us to get up so they could exit. When salads, pickles, and bread arrived (all of which were very good), yet another table was seated nearby, and once again we had to interrupt our meal to let new diners through. Menus were passed over my head, and the repeated bumping continued. I was bumped well over a dozen times during the course of the meal without any acknowledgment. For our mains, we ordered two Gibby’s cuts cooked medium. They arrived medium rare. While not prepared as requested, the food was still enjoyable, and we chose not to send it back. Overall, the food was solid. Unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. When it came time to pay, I mentioned the gift card. Having served before, I had already calculated a 20% tip based on the full bill, not just the remaining balance after the gift card was applied. The gift card was processed, the remaining balance paid by debit, and the tip entered accordingly. As I handed the payment machine back and said thank you, Sebastian tore off the receipt, tossed it onto the table, and walked away abruptly. If a 20% tip is considered unsatisfactory, I would suggest checking in with guests shortly after their mains arrive, minimizing physical disruptions throughout the meal, and offering a simple “excuse me” or “sorry” when repeatedly bumping into diners. Regardless of the tip amount, acknowledging and thanking guests is just good manners and what I would think is expected when you are representing a business. While the food was good, Montreal has many excellent restaurants. At Gibby’s price point, the overall experience matters just as much as the food—and unfortunately, this experience didn’t feel worth it. I’m glad this was a gift card, and I’ll be choosing a different restaurant to recommend or gift in the future.

⭐ Food Review: Gibby’s – Old Montreal I pass by this restaurant during the day and never knew that this place has such a rich history within the community. Gibby’s has that unmistakable Old Montreal charm -- stone walls, warm lighting, and a sense that dinner is meant to be an occasion. Our visit leaned into that spirit beautifully. 🍷 Wine - Tenuta Geretto 2021 (White Wine). The evening opened with a crisp, elegant pour of Tenuta Geretto 2021. It struck a lovely balance - bright acidity, subtle fruit, and just enough minerality to refresh the palate between bites. A clean, versatile white that paired surprisingly well with a hearty steak. 🥩 Main Course - Rib Eye Boneless Steak (Enough for Two). Gibby’s is known for its classic steakhouse approach, and the rib eye delivered exactly that. Generously portioned - easily shared between two - it arrived perfectly cooked, with that signature Gibby’s char on the outside and tender richness inside. The cut had great marbling, translating into deep, buttery flavor without feeling heavy. Sharing it made the experience feel indulgent without being overwhelming. 🍮 Dessert - Crème Brûlée. A classic ending done right. The sugar crust cracked with that satisfying tap, revealing a silky custard underneath. Not overly sweet, not overly dense - just a smooth, comforting finish to a rich meal. 🎯 Overall Impression Gibby’s remains a quintessential Old Montreal dining experience: generous portions, timeless dishes, and a setting that feels both historic and celebratory. The combination of a crisp Italian white, a shareable rib eye, and a well-executed crème brûlée made for a memorable evening that balanced indulgence with elegance.
