To achieve a ranking of the best steakhouse restaurants in Montreal, several criteria can be taken into account, for example: their popularity, their quality/price ratio and the opinion of experts. Here is the result of this compilation in 5 essential establishments for lovers of excellent quality red meat.
1. Moishes
Undoubtedly one of the most controversial, but also the most popular, customer opinions vary widely on this restaurant depending on whether they come from TripAdvisor, Yelp or Foursquare (there are others). These opinions converge however on the quality of the dishes.With an “old school” feel, a simple and modern decoration, and above all a certain reputation, it is one of the most famous steakhouse restaurants in Montreal. Customers therefore go there first knowing that it is an institution, then discovering the quality of the steaks.The austere aspect of the place and the service as well as a minimalist comfort (in particular tables very close together) will perhaps not suit a certain clientele as much.To book: 3961 Boulevard Saint-Laurent (between Napoleon & Duluth) – From 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Such. : +1 514 845 3509.

Yet another Montreal institution for 56 years, the establishment has been completely renovated for the greater comfort of a clientele who appreciates the quality of service and decoration on an equal footing with the perfection of the cooking of the generously served meats.
