    What an amazing time we had celebrating my partner’s birthday at Joe Beef, the service was impeccable, everyone greeted us warmly and with a smile. A big thank you to Gabriel for being so attentive and a fabulous server, we’re already planning when we can come back for our next meal.

    Absolutely wonderful all around. Food and ambience were incredible. Had an early res with our toddler daughter who was extremely fussy. The staff was so kind and accommodating, especially our waiter. I did not get his name but he was fantastic. My wife and I plan to come back to Montreal for a weekend alone and will absolutely be back for a date night. Highly recommend.

    Outstanding meal! Our servers were incredible and their input and delightful personalities really added to the experience. The ambiance was amazing, although the fire really ramped up the heat in the back room. Five stars all the way!
