La Queue de Cheval Steakhouse & Raw Bar

Great ambiance. Classic steakhouse. They dry age their meat at least 30 days. Service is what you would expect at a restaurant of this caliber. It is exceptional. The team took care of our party of 5 really well- no complaints. They also come and show you the steak that they will be making for you before they make it which is quite nice. The last time I went they had a few items which they didn’t have this time. Maybe they were specials? The last time i went, they had a cap steak which is supposed to be most flavourful part of a rib-eye.

The service from the moment you walk in the door is superb. The food, presentation, service, and ambience, are all a great upscale experience. For example, we all walked in with laptop bags and they stored them for us securely. All the staff were very accommodating, observant, and there to serve. The waiters offered a few suggestions to share to keep costs down. (Note that the restaurant is upscale and a bit pricey). The steaks we had could easily be shared by 2 or even 3 people. I had the unique opportunity to talk to an assistant chef that previously worked there, and he had only the best to say about the restaurant, the food quality, the chefs, and the overall management. He said, "you picked the right place."

The second time here for dinner. Last time was 2 years before. The steak is still prefect!!!! Service is also prefect too！！！ Today is my birthday and they give me a really delicious chocolate cake with a little small surprise.☺️ Such a wonderful dinner experience！！！！！

Incredible dining experience. This place is not just your typical steakhouse. The menu is very extensive and includes a nice pic of seafood and steaks. I would highly recommend the tartare and they'll give table side service so you get to see it mixed in front of you. For the main entrees they bring the meats to you before they cook them so you get to see the raw cut (first time a restaurant has ever done this for me). I chose to get the lamb as my main and loved it. The rest of my table got steaks and they were some of the biggest steaks I've ever seen. I think the best part was the side dishes which rivaled the meat for which was better and made it difficult to finish the meal (but of course we did). We got 4 desserts (chocolate souffle, creme brulee, death by chocolate, and cheesecake) for a table of 6 and somehow managed to finish those too. I'm usually not a fan of cheesecake but this one was amazing. Pricey but worth it (and it can be not too pricey if you just don't choose the most expensive steaks).

The moment you walk in the door you can sense something is different about this restaurant. The staff at La Queue de Cheval are amazing and are what really take things to the next level. They took the time to personalize the experience by introducing themselves, attending to our every need and ensuring we had everything required for the ultimate dining experience. From the first app to dessert, the food was fantastic. I travelled from out of town and will certainly be returning the next time I am in Montreal...with hopefully less snow!

I reserved this restaurant for my birthday. I specifically asked to be seated downstairs when I called. Once I got there, I was seated at the worst table in the restaurant. Upstairs right next to the kitchen where waiters kept passing behind us. I asked to be moved to downstairs and the waiter said it would take about 45 minutes but that we could go wait at the bar, which is what we did. The bar is beautiful. The drinks are strong just how I like it. The service at the bar was ok; some bartenders are more helpful and nicer than others. I decided to order my appetizers at the bar. I started with the beef tartare which was simple. It was a classic recipe. Nothing extravagant but it was good. I then ordered the tuna tataki and the tuna sashimi. The fish is so fresh it melts in your mouth. Really delicious. To end my appetizer round I decided to try the salmon roll which does not contain any rice. HEAVEN. Words can’t describe how amazing this roll was. Best thing I’ve had the whole night. It was a delight! Once our table was ready I ordered my main course which was a 20oz rib eye steak and lobster Mac & Cheese. I asked my waiter if I could get it cut just like the tomahawk and he said of course. Once my meal arrived. The waiter told me the Chef refused to cut the steak. I was quite insulted. A ribeye is a tomahawk without the bone so why wouldn’t it be possible to have it cut the same way? It literally takes 2 seconds and it improves the meal presentation. Luckily, my waiter was nice enough to offer to cut the ribeye at our table. He went above and beyond as he did not have to do that. That’s what I call good service. The meat was extremely tender and perfectly seasoned. I have to say it is one of the best steak I’ve had in Quebec. It is quite comparable to Jacobs steakhouse in Toronto which is fantastic! Overall it was a good experience, everyone should try this place at least once in their life! It is pricy but you get what you pay for. The quality is unbeatable. Have fun trying their extensive menu! Isabelle

I'm changing my review to adress the reply from the restaurent. 45 minutes for an app is unacceptable. The lobster cocktail that you say has no sauce has spicy mayo as pictured on you menu below. It was also swimming in it, not good at all. The burger that you said had no fried onions has some mystery veg on it, not sure what those are! The menu says fried onions though, there was so many i had to pull most of them off just to taste the bland 45 dollar burger. The picture below was the onions on half of the burger. The dirty lipstick stained TUMBLER that my drink was in is not pictured but the mint julip that my wife ordered is, it was a mojito with dark rum istead of bourbon and not a good one at that. And no matter how "knowledgable" staff members may be a cocktail menu is standard even at a michelin level restaurent. Your unapologetic reply makes me wish i could give zero stars. At 348 dollars for a meal excellence is expected and was not provided. Reading your replies to bad reviews is quite infuriating as well. You take no accountability for poor service and instead blame your patrons. I hope your establishment improves its quality and attitude for the future.

This place is a Montreal institution: impeccable service and decor, an amazing wine and cocktail list, and food that is beyond reproach. This place is a must visit if you're willing to spend, and should be considered for any special occasion. It's a popular destination for work meetings as well, so drop in if you've got official business or someone to impress.
