Good food. Great service. Great location. Let me explain.
My family and I were visiting Montreal as a stop on our annual roadtrip. We decided to walk around the town to discover it. We stumbled across Vieux-Port Steakhouse, which immediately pleased us. It felt like we were transported to a European Steakhouse. Quickly, we were seated by hosts who spoke both French and English, as of many of the Montreal citizens. There were stone walls, rustic wooden floors, and a warm, dim light which brightened the entire space. They gave us menus, which were printed in both English and French, similarly to the kids menu. We were easily able to choose our food items, drinks, and appetizers. Unfortunately, there was not gluten free bread for my sister, who is celiac, however, the glutinous bread was delicious. Our server, Clement, was quick to ask for our drink orders. I just ordered water, but my sister ordered what she said was "The best Shirley Temple ever!" Soon after, we ordered our meal. I chose the salmon and the side salad, which were delicious together! They also had steaks and other seafood on the menu. My salmon was brought out with rice and carrots, which added to the flavor profile. I would recommend sharing it, though, because it was a large cut of fish! After practically inhaling my meal, with the help of my mom, we were asked by Clement if we would like dessert. My sister got the delicious Crème Brûlée, which was the only gluten free dessert. My older sister ordered the red velvet, and my parents ordered the carrot cake. I am not much of a dessert person, but I absolutely loved the carrot cake! The dessert menu also had an apple pie, that looked very good! Similarly to the main course, these sugary dishes were devoured.
In summary, Vieux-Port Steakhouse serves delicious food in a beautiful decorated building that takes you to Europe. It is very tourist friendly, with English-speaking servers and English menus. They offer some gluten free desserts and main dishes. I highly recommend if you are in the area and are looking for a European-style steakhouse. Special thank you to server Clement who really gave us an excellent experience! Visit Vieux-Port Steakhouse in Montreal!
