We enjoyed a beautiful meal here while visiting Old Montreal. The food was amazing, as was the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the service was not. Our waiter was friendly, however, he didn’t attend to our group in a manner one would expect in an up-scale steakhouse. Our first course plates were still on the table when our main entrees arrived and he didn’t return to see if we were enjoying our steaks or if we needed anything. My husband ordered shrimp as an additional side, but he forgot them so they came after his steak arrived. There was no check in for drink and wine refills either. So despite enjoying a great meal, the mediocre service made the experience disappointing.
What guests say about Vieux-Port Steakhouse
Vieux-Port Steakhouse in Montreal seems appreciated for its chic, warm atmosphere, with many customers highlighting the beautiful decor, pleasant ambiance, and often very attentive service. The food receives a lot of praise, especially the steaks, some desserts, and a few seafood dishes, but several reviews also mention portions that are considered small, high prices, and sometimes uneven cooking. There are also a few important criticisms about slow service, order mistakes, and the handling of certain charges or tips, so it’s an interesting option if you prioritize atmosphere and service, but keep an eye on the bill and your expectations.
Reviews / Ratings for Vieux-Port Steakhouse
Service was very slow and nowhere close to what you expect for this price. Everything was cold: soupe, mashed potatoes, veggies and meat. Everything was way below average, except the price.

The food are amazing. T Special thanks to Joe & Julien for the great service
Great steakhouse in old port. All the steaks we ordered were perfectly cooked and sauces were on point. For appetizer our buratta dish was so fresh and the calamari was some of the best I’ve had.
Had the Ribeye bone in. Didn’t realize it was that thin, I should have asked to see the meat before hand. Had a great taste but every bite was too chewy and couldnt break it apart with my teeth. Waiter didn’t bring any steak knives but that’s not the end of the world. Everything else was decent. I def had higher expectations.
Good location, nice services, mediocre steak. For the price, frozen fries (not home made) was disappointing.
Service was really good. Unfortunately the food was underwhelming, specially for the price. Fries were not different from any bag of frozen fries you would have at home. Steak missed that grilled/charcoal taste and sauce felt shy. It wasn’t bad. It was just very regular. Their “per glass” wine options were very limited and not very tasty. Cocktail was delicious! If prices were 20% lower, it would make more sense, but you expect a better culinary experience for the rates they charge.
Ribeye was great, our waiter jimmy provided great customer service.
Nice place, good seat. Steak was over as well as the lobster overcooked, table service was not great.
