    Grilled shrimp
    Jill W.

    Great lunch spot if you're in the Square Victoria area... beautiful dining room and bar, with top notch service. The bar tender a real pro and very friendly and accommodating, as was everyone who tended to us. Table d'hote was $50 for appetizer, main and dessert with bread, dill pickles and coleslaw on top. It's quite a lot of food :) Love coming here :)

    We recently had a family and friends' event in Moishes' private dining room. The whole experience was impeccable. The food was of course spectacular and equally spectacular was the assistance from Moishes creative team of Emily & Myriam. Not only did Emily & Myriam work with me in ensuring that everything was set up to perfection, but they also understood and added to the vision of the event with their own suggestions/creativity. They along with the entire Moishes team could not have been more accommodating, from the set-up of their elegant private room to the specially tailored menu, to the one of kind birthday cake, to even our ensuring our parking accessibility was ensured. Moishes thought of everything! The service was also outstanding-it was fine dining at its best, we were never rushed, the bus people were very attentive. Our waiter Moemen is a five-star server, and I don't think I ever went to dinner where everyone specifically mentioned how outstanding the service was and how much it enhanced the event. Thank you, Moemen, and team ! And a special thank you to GM David who oversaw the entire party! PS- As one example of how helpful the entire team was to us, I asked if instead of offering the regular amazing selection of desserts, whether they could transform their most famous and signature dessert, Moishes Millefeuille, into a birthday cake. They were able to do so and is attached is a photo- and yes, they were able to subsequently cut it up into pieces that looked and tasted perfect. Thank you again Moishes!

    Another perfect experience. While Moshies is not going to set the culinary world on fire with innovative dishes, they deliver very fresh and tasty salads. Well executed Porter houses and a solid staple of sides. Service is on point each time my preference is for the rear of the restaurant away from the TV in the bar area

    THE BIG: Oldest steakhouse in Montreal and located in the International district. Cozy and homey decor inside. Right next to the W Hotel. Street parking or parking garages are available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: We were staying closeby at the W hotel and decided to eat here for dinner. Since we were a big party, we got a fancy room and had a bunch of sides delivered before ordering our mains. There were a few gigantic tomahawk specials where a few of us guys took the liberty to share amongst the three. One of us got the japanese wagyu which came in 6 tiny pieces but damn was it delicioius. For wines, they had a pretty great selection of bordeaux and burgundys. We opted for a bordeaux first before moving into a nice pinot afterwards. The sides were great with carpaccio, oysters, gigantic shrimp, fries and salad. Another fun thing was that we got to choose our steak knives as the waiters came around for us to choose. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Ultimately the damage done here was around $1200 CAD for an extravagant meal but also split between 10 guys. Steaks and wine were great.

    Moishes is a steakhouse that has existed since 1938, approaching ninety years history in Montreal as of this review, but still putting in the effort and not resting on its laurels. Normally it's easier to find fault in some way or another, but here at Moishes, that is not the case. They get so many things right and execute on such a level, that I am putting Moishes in the lofty realm of my top traditional steakhouses, even when measured against the best traditional steakhouses of NYC, my hometown. My concierge recommended Moishes and it was spot on, getting high marks from the door, where we were immediately seated in this beautiful dining room with a suspended tin ceiling and tastefully streamlined and modern chandeliers hanging from that suspended ceiling. Floor to ceiling windows add the modern and mid-century modern touch, casting plenty of calming light throughout. The atmosphere is muted with the fabric, woodwork, and colors enveloping the patron in a very sophisticated and subtle splendor that is a feast for the eyes as much as it will be for your palate. There are multiple dining area and outdoor seating, providing more than ample capacity, and even some private dining areas beyond view from what I could observe. They can handle individuals and couples to large parties with ease here, but I do not have the impression it will ever be loud here. Our server, Jeremie, patiently took our orders and had the sommelier advise us properly on a bottle of wine, a Bordeaux blend whose tannins were not overshadowing, pairing well with the steak to come. First, take note of the bread they serve and particularly the cole slaw and pickles. The slaw is fresh and has the taste of a sweet vinegar that pairs mightily with the largest and greenest pickles you can find. These pickles are so fresh and the bright green color is of another variety. The brine is slightly salty, but just within bounds as to be forgiven when the crisp freshness is in such abundance, paired with the sweet slaw. We are already in unforgettable territory at just the pickles and slaw! I order the 23oz Carre d'Agneau tomahawk style Alberta lamb chops. Before your main course is served, your server will present to you your choice of steak knives with wooden, pearlescent or metal handles, one of which is the French curved and slender steak knife. The lamb chops are served in three meaty and satisfying pairs. These chops are unmatched in my culinary memory, save for a friend who makes them at her house on the east end of Long Island, NY. I ordered them medium and they were still so very tender and juicy. The flavor from the bones and trimmed and rendered fat into the meat was inescapably riveting. I was unforgettably silenced. These will be on repeat every single time I revisit Moishes! The Monte Carlo potatoes are also quite memorable. They mix the potato with sour cream or butter, with herbs, and then bake it to a crisp outside, served in an oval ceramic dish. The basic meat and potatoes pairing is complete and so well executed. Nothing has needed any additions to this point. The lamb needs no mint or other sauce. The potatoes need no salt or pepper. The kitchen is crushing it and meanwhile the slaw and pickles offer that crisp acidic counterpoint that keeps everything in balance and washed down with a great wine. Are you feeling the harmony and nirvana? Aside from the level of brine in these beautiful pickles, the only thing my friend and I could point out was the seat height is positioned a touch low relative to the table height. Nothing too bad, but we both noticed it, but subtle enough that you may not notice, unless you read this review and are tipped off. I ordered the 22oz Cote de Boeuf and the seldom seen 18oz bone in Filet Mignon OS to go. Both of them were ordered medium rare to go and the Cote de Boeuf had a peppercorn sauce on the side. The Cote de Boeuf was the only one that benefitted from a sauce when I had it back home. It was not as tender as the others, but still very good. It ranked third. The bone in Filet Mignon was beautiful. I had never had the bone in variety of filet mignon and it was great to experience this thicker cut that left the flavor of the bone and richness of the trimmed fat cap intact, both of which enhanced the tenderness and flavor when I experienced it in NYC. The bone in Filet ranked second behind the lamb chops. I finished the meal at Moishes with the dulce de leche drizzled vanilla ice cream with chocolate chunks. It was overkill, but it offered a closing sweet chapter to a savory book, which, with taxes and tip, will run you a little over $420 CAD. Moishes is a splurge, but I continued to eat back home for the next two or three days recalling why I would return to Moishes and for far less than it would cost me in NYC. Moishes is 4.8 stars and one of the highest ratings I have ever reviewed! Come and find out for yourself and let me know.

    Came to celebrate a birthday and to also indulge in a delicious steak dinner while visiting on vacation. Turned out to be one of the best experiences and steak dinners I have ever had...definitely ranks in my top 5 of steak houses I've been to. We were greeted right as we walked in by the hostess staff and quickly taken to our table. Our waiter (I can't remember his name) greeted us quickly and brought us an unusual starter: whole pickles, coleslaw, and delicious bread. We were all surprised to get the pickles and coleslaw but they were delicious and an awesome treat to start with. For starters we got the escargot (no pic) but it was delicious and worth ordering. For our mains we order the ribeye,filet, and octopus. The steaks were delicious, cooked to perfection, like I said def in my top 5 for steaks, and accompanied by chimichurri and a yummy seasoning to add to the steaks. The octopus was also very good and tasty. We got asparagus and mushrooms to share with the table. Overall experience was awesome, excellent service, great ambiance, and I would totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a great time and amazing food.

    This meal will go down in history for me as one of the best that we had on our trip to Montreal. You absolutely must get the beef tartare it is exquisite. Everything we ordered was honestly. The vibe and decor is top notch. One of the most beautiful bar areas I've seen in awhile. The sauce that comes with the shrimp cocktail and the sauce that comes with the steak frites were particularly delicious. Our entire meal was pure perfection and every Canadian dollar was well spent. They have a lunch prefix that is such a great deal. if you're traveling to Montreal, you do not want to skip Moishes

    Enjoyed my night out for a lite bite and Lemon Drop! ‍ Romantic ambiance and great service and food.

    Highly recommend the escargot! Excellent ribeye!  Extraordinary service! A must when in Montreal!

    5 stars! Excellent and engaged service. The food is a must when visiting Montreal! Belvedere martini topped it all off!

    Food and service both top notch. We got the grilled shrimp appetizer. Really enjoyed it. For the main we got the Monte Carlo potato, steak, and salmon. Steak was perfectly cooked, and huge. The Monte Carlo potato was also delicious. Super kid friendly. They provided

    Came here for a large gathering & we were hosted in the back private room. We had such a blast. The private bar was chic and well orchestrated. The service was excellent & everything ran smoothly. We had the Caesar salad and beef tartare for an appetizer, as well as giant pickles and coleslaw. I'll dream about that coleslaw forever. For dinner, I opted for a filet mignon. My husband had ribeye and some lamb chops; he rated the lamb better than the ribeye, but filet was top tier. I would absolutely go back for a more intimate gathering, but highly recommend this spot for large parties/corporate events!

    I came here for a late lunch and was very impressed with the customer service I was greeted with and then the decor was beautiful. I sat at the bar and had a drink the bartender made. It was pretty good. It had mezcal, pineapple juice, bitters, and some other things in it. I ordered the lobster Mac & cheese and the grilled wild shrimp. Both were really good! My only complaint about the Mac & cheese was it was a little greasy/oily but still very tasty. Based on the food I had, the customer service, and the ambiance, I would return to try other things.

    Famous coleslaw!

We ordered a variety of things (including things we wouldn't usually order to try and enjoy the full experience). We had a special that they were having that night similar to a charcuterie board, croquettes, hangar steak, lobster spaghetti, fries, bread and pickle, and a scallop soup type dish (I forget what it was called and honestly it was my absolute favorite most unique dish).

My entire Montreal trip was planned around getting this reservation. The food here is good. It reminds me of what restaurants used to do; cook for enjoying instead of just paying the bills. When you start to cook for just the money, you lose the risk taking and excitement from the food. Firstly, the restaurant is very hot. They need to check their AC or maybe they're just choosing to be very European. But that aside our waiter was very good and friendly. He really helped make our dinner fun and memorable. The beef tartare was ok. The sweetbreads were probably the best I've ever had anywhere. The double down is their riff on the KFC sandwich where they used two pieces of fried chicken as bread, instead these guys used two pieces of fried foie gras. It's rich, fatty, and delicious. You do not want to eat more than what they've given but it was every bit enjoyable. The pasta and sausages were good as well. But the strawberry sorbet dessert was so damn good and exactly what I needed to cool down. I had a great experience and highly recommend Joe Beef.

But before even checking in, we had to walk through Bar George ~ and instantly knew we wanted to eat there. We were lucky enough to grab a last-minute reservation, and Julien took a good care of us throughout the evening. His recommendation of the Beef Wellington was spot on (it's already one of our favorite dishes), but this was hands down the best we've ever had. I ordered the lobster risotto, which was excellent with just the right amount of spice. My son had the 10 oz striploin steak with homemade fries (chips), and it was absolutely delicious. I also loved the Canadian touch of coarse salt on the steak, plus the option to choose between Béarnaise or peppercorn sauce. Julien also mentioned their pastry chef placed second in a NY competition, and the desserts absolutely lived up to that reputation. We tried the pineapple and coconut pavlova and the "lick me hazelnut" ~ both beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. We also ordered iced coffee and a latte, and noticed something interesting: this was the second place where we found Canadian coffee to be smooth and mild ~ such a nice change from the often bitter, over-roasted American coffee. Yes, dinner was a bit steep ($300+), but it was worth every penny. Between the rich history, stunning design, outstanding service, and unique cuisine, I would highly recommend Bar George.
