About
Depuis plus de 20 ans, Méchant Boeuf a perfectionné l’art du grill, aboutissant à un vieillissement approprié, à un assaisonnement habile et à des techniques de cuisson expertes. Avec des produits locaux soigneusement sélectionnés par notre chef, nous croyons qu’un steak parfaitement cuit est un chef-d’œuvre culinaire qui titille les sens et satisfait le palais, une expérience qui perdure bien après la dernière bouchée.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

My wife and I recently went to Merchant Boeuf for my birthday. I hate to say this but this was by far the worst steak I have ever eaten, or at least tried to eat. We both ordered the Picanha, and were advised by our...waiter to get the best taste to have the steak done medium rare. When the steak arrived my wife found it impossible to cut, and I myself was looking for a saw to get into it. The steak was cooked correctly, but after a few minutes of trying to cut into it and then forever to actually chew the steak i gave up. My wife didn't even get that far. We told the waiter when he asked how the food was, and to his credit he went back and must have told someone because the manager came to our table. He did offer to replace the steak, but as we said .... it seemed like a waste if it was to arrive the same as what we had. As I told my wife, I don't understand how a steak could be that tough ... you would figure a good steak house should be able to cook a shoe and make it tender. Anyway, it's too bad we were really looking forward to a good evening and this steak really was disgusting. As I said, the review is on the food we received, the waiter was great and the atmosphere was really enjoyable ... too bad the steak could not match that. My recommendation is to maybe try some place else for a good steak, some place that should know how to cook it better than here.More

The most disheartening aspect of our dining experience wasn't just because it was New Year's Day; it was also my 50th birthday, a milestone we traveled from Toronto to celebrate. Our disappointment began when we were informed that the Tomahawk Dry Aged Steak, the very...reason for our reservation, was unavailable. Subsequently, none of the three appetizers we desired—calamari, Caesar Salad, and Onion Soup—were in stock. Even our simple request for French fries with the Rib Eye met with the response that they were unavailable. Despite our growing hunger, we decided to proceed. To the waiter's credit, he served us extra bread, but the extended wait for our steak—nearly an hour—tested our patience. When the Rib Eye finally arrived, it was not only cooked medium-rare instead of medium-well, but it also lacked seasoning and exhibited an unexpected chewiness, raising doubts about whether it was a rib-eye at all. Even with the 50% discount offered on one of the steaks, the experience failed to restore the celebratory joy one anticipates on a milestone occasion. While this might be just another day for the restaurant, another customer experience, and business carries on, for individuals celebrating significant milestones with family, it means everything. The hope for a golden celebration was regrettably overshadowed by these unforeseen disappointments. The experience lingers far beyond the meal, impacting the essence of a golden celebration.More

Situated nicely in the Old Port area behind the Notre Dame Basilica, this vibrant but cozy restaurant and bar offers something for everyone. From their signature cocktail list to the numerous entree options, the offerings are diverse, delicious, and served with amazing hospitality. Tonight I...enjoyed the Nirvana cocktail, the Milanese Porkchop, and a delicious dessert, and was taken care of by François, who was happy to answer questions and make suggestions. Perfect service. Dining alone can be intimidating for some, but there’s no need for concern here. My reservation was made easily and I was given a great table by the window as I preferred. I’ll be back when I visit Montréal again to further explore the menu, guaranteed to have a relaxing evening.More
