About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Great for fine wines

Old Montreal restaurant classics in the heart of Little Burgundy. An homage to Charles "Joe-Beef" McKiernan, 19th century innkeeper and Montreal working class hero. A drunken crawl away from the Historic Atwater market. Steaks and seafood.

Why they're an Icon

The ever-changing menu features fresh, hearty dishes like lobster spaghetti and filet mignon with bone marrow, all served in a lively, candlelit tavern setting.

Was not my first time going and never had issues with the portion sizes before, but a rack of lamb that was 4 bites of meat,with a side that was literally a chopped up heirloom tomato for 120$ Same for the 90$ filet that came with 3 asparagus, and all sides were extra. When did it become such a money grab? Won't be going back.

Had a positively delightful experience at the bar. The staff was friendly, attentive, and so accommodating. All of the food was delicious, but the strawberry tartlette is not to be missed!

It’s all about the Beef , which should’ve been more tender. A $95(C) filet was a bit tough. The pepper sauce was very good. Escargot was excellent. Nice ambiance and help.
