  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
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

    So many folks saying this is “the place!” The service was great. However, the food was not was it was hyped up to be. For the amount of money we spent, I wouldn’t recommend.

    A great experience, from the coziness of the decor to the flavours in the food, there's a reason why Joe Beef is Joe Beef!

    Great service but overpriced overall. The meat is well cooked but the dishes are not elaborate and not worth the price we paid.
