Restaurant Méchant Boeuf

Super bonne expérience et la nourriture excellente un most to go dans le vieux Montréal qualité prix excellent

Went there for the gourmand event. We did the 3 course option for $49! Our server was wonderfully kind albeit very busy (we would be missing utensils, etc). The appetizer and dessert were both great and lovely!! Disappointment came with the steak which was completely flavourless and dry. Fries unsalted. We had to ask for salt to just get through it. All 5 us ordered the steak and we all felt the same. Unsure if it was a bad night. Overall with individual bills coming to $60 each, was better off getting something else.

It’s Happening Gourmand month, on a Saturday night, the place is packed. We could not be served in the beginning by our waitress, the busboy took care of us. He was very amiable. Post orders, it took very long time to get any of our dishes. When the waitress took over after the first service, the service dropped a little notch down. Appetizer: garlic spinach soup 5/5, cod fritters 4/5 (more potatoes than fish). Main dishes: lobster risotto: 1/5 (unevenly cooked, after taste had sand feeling), steak and fries: 3/5 (unevenly seasoned, one side more salty) desert: brookie and profiteroles:5/5. Overall the experience was average.

I had made a reservation for my Birthday celebration 2 days in advance, and I arrived 5 minutes before my reservation time of 1:00. They did not have our table ready yet, despite the fact that there were only 3 or so tables of people sat down. One of our guests had ordered a latte when they sat down at about 1:00, but didnt get it until after the food came out - which was at about 1:40. About a 40 minute wait for a coffee and a 30 minute wait for food. When our food came out, three of our dishes were incorrect. We got 3 of the Benedict with ham instead of the Benedict with mushrooms. One incorrect plate had a hair on it, and a correct plate of steak was cooked well when we requested medium. The waiter apologized and offered us free mimosas. We accepted but had to remind him about the orange juice that we ordered when we ordered our food. The waiter then only brought out mimosas for the three people who’s order was incorrect, which was a bit awkward for our other guests, so we shared the drinks between us. Our three corrected plates didn’t come out until our other guests had finished their meals. We asked for ketchup and mayo, and when the waiter came around again later to ask how everything was going we had to ask for the condiments again because we didn’t get them. We had to leave by 3:00 to get to another event, so we flagged down our waiter and asked for the bills at 2:45, even though our dessert had not come out yet. Out waiter brought out the cold, hard waffles and waited until we had eaten them to bring our bill, making us rush to leave on time. We paid full price for everything, except for the orange juice that was taken off the bill. For a place that requires a deposit on a credit card to make a booking, I was expecting better service and food. Had we not been in a rush and extremely stressed out by the service, we would’ve taken the time to complain to a manager.

Amazing atmosphere and friendly staff. Good thing the bar and cocktails were great because the food was absolutely brutal. I think the kitchen staff must have changed from my undertsanding, my party of 10+ people all said the food was meh. Nothing to write home about.

Nous avons eu un excellent service, notre serveuse était professionnelle et à l’écoute de sa clientèle. Une expérience culinaire impeccable de l’entrée au dessert avec la formule du Happening Gourmand. Nous reviendrons certainement! Merci spécial à Simon pour son accueil chaleureux.

2ième fois au méchant boeuf. Première fois, c’était bien, service ok, nourriture ok mais somme tout satisfaisante. 3,5/5 Hier, nous sommes allés au restaurant et malheureusement j’aimerais dire un meilleur dénouement. Nous avons attendus 1 heure 40 min pour recevoir notre steak comme repas principal. L’entrée de morue était bonne en bouche. Le service moyen, j’ai demandé de l’eau et ca pris facilement 30min avant de recevoir de l’eau. Le problème majeur fut le repas principal. J’ai demandé une cuisson médium saignant et le steak est arrivé bleue. J’ai mentionné à la serveuse que je préférais pas le renvoyer en cuisine puisque j’avais très faim. Erreur de ma part parce que maintenant je suis malade. EXPLOSIVEMENT malade. faite attention avec les cuissons trop « rare »

Méchant Bœuf provided the perfect atmosphere for a romantic date night with my wife. The ambiance was cozy, the service impeccable, and the food absolutely delicious. We shared the steak frites, cooked to perfection, and indulged in their rich desserts. Highly recommend for a special occasion!

My evening at Méchant Bœuf, located in Old Montreal's charming Vieux-Port, was a delightful mix of culinary delights and a few drawbacks. Opting to dine on a Monday night, we found the dining room unusually quiet, with only a handful of patrons seated at the bar. Our hostess and waitress proved to be attentive professionals. The service was impeccable from the start, with a warm attitude and thoughtful recommendations. We kicked off the evening by savoring a delicious Amaretto Sour, my personal favorite, and the Feeling Spicy, a bold concoction of Hennessy VS cognac, lemon juice, bitters, and lavender syrup. The cocktails were well-balanced, leaving a positive first impression. As for the appetizers, the pork dumplings were satisfactory, though their likely frozen origin was discernible. In contrast, the beef tartare was a pleasant surprise, generously portioned and tastefully seasoned. For the main courses, we opted for the NY strip steak with pepper sauce, accompanied by Monte Cristo potatoes, and the ribeye steak. The dishes were flavorful, well-prepared, and featured generous portions. The quality of ingredients and culinary expertise shone through. However, the experience was marred by the noisy ambiance created by patrons at the bar. Their boisterous behavior, with no regard for the tranquility of others, could have been better managed by the restaurant staff. Unfortunately, the servers did not take initiative to address the noise, negatively impacting our overall enjoyment of the evening. Despite this drawback, Méchant Bœuf remains a recommendable spot for its enticing flavors and professional service. I would suggest, however, carefully choosing the timing of your visit to avoid a overly loud atmosphere, especially if you seek a more serene and intimate dining experience.

It was our very first Poutine which was very enjoyable
