  • Good for special occasions

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

    Amazing but expensive! We had a bit of everything, the food and service was outstanding, but it’s not somewhere we would go every week. We were 4 and the bill came up to 550$ plus tip no wine. We had some drinks and beer. One didn’t drink and barely ate. Definitely will be back.

    As usual , great food ! Good service for sure Fun drinks options. And OK wine list. Could have better local wines on their list Desserts are a fail. For that level restaurant , you need better quality and options. Rather expensive for what you get. Feeling more and more as a tourist trap …

    Everything was amazing. I can’t lie about that. However, it is very expensive. You can safely get a similar level of food and service at other locations. Even their other neighboring restaurants are at a similar level, but not as expensive. I would recommend it for sure, but just know that the bill will not be small.
