    We came for our anniversary and it was a perfect date. Poutine was delicious, steaks were fantastic, and wine selection was wonderful. Simon was a fantastic server and recommended a delicious Canadian whiskey we hadn’t tried. Simon’s service & the amazing food made us wish we lived closer!

    Went to the restaurant multiple time before Covid and this was my first time since. Service was very slow and the presentation of the plates was not up to the centre of the restaurant. Meat was a bit dry, and Service was very wrong. Specially, to get a refill of water or to get our drinks. Used to be a very good restaurant but they will need to get better. Otherwise it won’t be a top rated restaurant as it used to be

    First time there, unfortunately the ribs and hamburger meat were too dry, plate was too simple for the price. As for service they brought the wrong meal, even after 40 min waiting they brought the meal on the wrong timing, finally they charge me the wrong meal that they brought and they split the bill wrongly too even after confirming them again before printing them. Just bad day for the poor waitress, she accidentally hit his colleague and made him drop a full platter or wine glasses, lucky were empty.

    My husband enjoyed his food. I ordered 2 dishes and unfortunately both were very cold, so not enjoyable. I imagine they were ready and waiting while my husband's was cooking. The flavors were good though. I have to note I didn't complain or mention this to the waiter, so didn't give them a chance to rectify it. We were seated quite close to the DJ speakers, which I found a little loud, though I'm sure they would have accommodated a move if I'd asked. My fault I didn't say anything about the cold food or seating location, though the experience didn't come close to the rest of our outstanding restaurant experiences in Montréal.

    Mechant Boeuf Bar & BrasserieResponded on March 6, 2023Hi NicM NM, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are sorry your experience wasn't up to standards.

    It was my first time at this restaurant, I was last minute and it was for the Valentine’s Day. The ambiance was perfect. The servers was impeccable. I didn’t like some of their drinks, they have changed it with no additional cost «On the House». Always smiling and very attentive. They have a list of specialities for the beef 🥩. The smash potatoes was REALLY the best thing I ever tasted and I’m a foodie. So I know it sounds weird but … you have to try it ! The cocktail was beautiful but okay for me. I like also my food a little bit spicy and they only have Tabasco … but the food was good it was missing a little bit of a spark. But it was a really nice place with a good menu and some nice drinks ! Ambiance décontractée Recommend 10000%
