About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
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

From the OpenTable editors: Since 2005, Joe Beef has garnered acclaim from diners and restaurant industry insiders alike for its chef-driven meat and seafood menu, solidifying its place among the city’s most famous restaurants. 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.

    Expected alot and the visit delivered. First and foremost the service is impeccable! The entire staff does an incredible job without feeling intrusive. Food creativity was fun having the tuna with harissa crunch, bone marrow and uni,and asparagus with egg and mushrooms. All were outstanding in execution with great flavor.Also had the lobster spaghetti and although the flavor was good the lobster was overcooked .

    We took a late reservation because it was so hard to get one in the first place but man, was it worth the wait. Walk in at 10 pm and the place was still packed and buzzing. The servers were all fun and extremely knowledgeable, with strong points of view on how dishes should be eaten or shared! The food was AMAZING. There were so many nice touches and you could tell the high degree of creativity and skill that went their dishes, especially the sauces which were incredibly flavorful. Don’t miss Joe Beef
