  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
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

From the OpenTable editors: Since 2005, Joe Beef has garnered acclaim from diners and restaurant industry insiders alike for its chef-driven meat and seafood menu, solidifying its place among the city’s most famous restaurants. The ever-changing menu features fresh, hearty dishes like lobster spaghetti and filet mignon with bone marrow, all served in a lively, candlelit tavern setting.

    Loved eating at Joe Beef at the bar. The bartender was informative, attentive and really friendly. The ambiance is warm and enjoyed conversations with other people at the bar. The French Fries are the best I’ve ever had, if you prefer a thicker cut.

    Loved dining at this Montreal institution! The beef stew hit the spot and was exactly what I wanted during a snowy Thursday evening. Thanks to the team for the soul-satisfying dinner and incredibly warm hospitality.

    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.
