Montreal’s Best Steakhouses and Grill Restaurants for Surf and Turf | Eater Montreal

"Vieux-Port may be one of the most expansive restaurants in its riverside neighbourhood (1,000 seats!), but doesn’t sacrifice quality for quantity. Beef and bison are at the forefront of the steak menu, combined with surf and turf options including lobster and crab." - JP Karwacki

Found this restaurant on Google. It’s located right in the main tourist area, making it easy to find while exploring the city. The place is well maintained, clean, and has a nice, luxurious feel. We ordered steaks, lamb steaks, and lobster. The steaks were excellent, but the lobster truly stole the show — it was so delicious that we even thought about ordering more! The fresh juice wasn’t great, but all the food was otherwise excellent. The average price for a meal starts around $35, which is definitely worth it for the quality and taste. Highly recommended, especially for the lobster. Thank you to the team for the wonderful experience — much appreciated!

The food is expensive, and the quality is just average. I ordered the Lobster Linguine, and it tasted really bad almost completely flavorless and there was barely any lobster in it. The escargot wasn’t very good either. Surprisingly, the simplest dish, the Caesar salad, was actually the best. The steak was decent overall, but still overpriced for what you get. Overall, I wasn’t impressed with the food I received. If you’re looking for good value for the price you pay, this place isn’t it. But if you just want to dine somewhere in Old Montreal for the atmosphere, then it might work for you. As for the service, the male server who took care of my table initially came by often to check if everything was okay. But after he saw my reaction while eating the pasta plus the almost untouched dish he never came back to ask about anything again. I guess he wanted to avoid hearing feedback about that pasta dish. Pretty funny, honestly.

The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Jimmy was our server and he was very friendly and helpful. It might be the best crème brûlée I’ve ever had!

I went to this restaurant for MTL à Table and the experience was incredible. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was perfect. I had been here a couple of years ago and honestly did not have the best impression back then, so I hesitated before booking. I am so glad I gave it another chance because everything has completely improved. It felt like a whole new restaurant in the best way. I would absolutely go back and highly recommend it.

Our last dinner before we left Montreal was at this charming steakhouse. From the service bread, to the crab cake appetizer, the NY style steak and lobster, and the grilled salmon that I ordered, everything was made to perfection. My husband, who normally does not eat a lot, finished all his food and said that it was one of the best he’s had. Located in the heart of the Old Montreal, this gem is a must-try for tourists who want to taste one of the best that this city has to offer.

Organized my mom’s surprise 65th birthday in the private room here. The experience was exceptional. The planning of the event went really well with Jessica - she answered all of my phone calls and emails. Mehdi, who was there on the day of the event was proactive, positive and communicative to iron out the final last minute details. The service was amazing - Yuna and Sophie did a great job. You can always tell you have a good server when they blend in the background and things are just happening: food is coming to table, water and wine glasses being filled, plates being cleared without having to ask for anything! We were a party of 31 people and everyone thought the food and experience was phenomenal: we had canapes (tiropita, Greek sausage, chicken skewers), filet mignon and a chocolate mousse for dessert. I will definitely organize an event here again 😊

Came here last night for dinner, it was an ok steakhouse. The atmosphere is nice. Service went a bit weird (I'll explain that later). We got the espresso martini and a glass of wine to start. My bf asked about the surf and turf option with the lobster tail and the server suggested the shrimp option instead saying it had "more meat". So we got that instead and realized it was only 3 pieces of shrimp which was pretty disappointing. The lobster tail would of been more but the price would of atleast fit it. I got the new york striploin and it was okay. Wanted some black pepper which most steakhouse I've been too bring it with the steak and sprinkle some on. Not this place. You have to order "3 peppercorns for 4$" lol. We got the wild rice and garlic spinach as sides and they were a hit. Now this is where it got a bit weird for us. I'm not sure if this is normal here (as to I've never seen this happening in Toronto before) when the bill came and our server came with the machine, he ASKED if we would like to tip and asked the percentage amount. We found that very odd. Normally places give you the terminal where your prompted to put it yourself. Anyways, weird.

I’d say the lobster was good, but the steak wasn’t so great….. One thing I REALLY didn’t like was how the tip was handled. Instead of simply giving me the card machine, the server directly asked, “How much would you like to tip me?” I felt very uncomfortable having to say the amount out loud instead of entering it myself. That didn’t feel right or professional. Also, the tables were way too small—more like café tables—which really took away from the dining experience. The overall atmosphere wasn’t very nice either. I came here for my anniversary, and honestly, I wouldn’t recommend this place for a special occasion. I was very disappointed. However, if you’re just planning a casual dinner, it might be fine…. But just be aware of the tipping here

Service was good and fast The food was actually good we had steak, Mac and cheese, and French onion soup). I'd say the down part was the cheese on the onion soup (not the typical cheese and it was chewy) The Mac and cheese without the truffle would have been 100% plain The steak was yummy and the sauce too.

In preparation for our last minute visit to Montreal, I sought recommendations from several sources I know that travel. One suggested a place that is sadly closed until mid-January; the other suggested this spot. We came, without consulting Yelp and that was a mistake. I'll start with what earned the actual stars: ambiance. It feels upscale, folks tend to greet you professionally at the door, but even that is kind of where it ends. Generally in nicer spots, every employee you see throughout (whether bus staff, other wait staff, etc.) always greet you, smile, yield to give you passage. All of that seemed lacking after the hostess station. Looks beautiful inside, we were seated on the third floor overlooking the street. Apart from having a spotlight directly overhead, that was a lovely spot to enjoy a meal! Service overall was quite pleasant. Our waiter was accommodating to our indecision, he seemed warm and also quite busy! While it took longer to receive an option for dessert and the check after that than we might have liked, I never felt rushed which is good - so I tried to view that favorably overall especially considering how busy he was. Food & beverage was as follows: - complimentary bread: two of the three pieces were perfectly crusty, one slightly soft; delicious subtle nutty flavor, perfectly soft butter. 4.2/5 - espresso martini: a uniquely made, and quite costly. It simply wasn't for me. I have tried many varieties, and the ingredients just didn't blend with my palate. 2.4/5 - Moscow mule: (non-menu cocktail) appropriate bite from the ginger, lacking in spirit. 3.7/5 - crab cake: coated, unusually so. Lacked much flavor in the cake itself. Mango chutney was the star of this dish. Cake: 2.2/5; chutney: 4.3/5 - French onion soup: cheese was chewy, broth was flavorful. Not the worst version, not the best version. 2.8/5 - Garden salad: basic, cranberries became the say of the salad which were thankfully abundant. Dressing was decent. 3.6/5 - filet mignon (8 ounce, non-wrapped): filet has zero flavor; I don't expect to ever want a steak sauce in any steak house because I anticipate the beef being flavorful, appropriately seasoned. It was a perfectly cooked rare temperature, but the winning stopped there it was accompanied by mashed potatoes (2.3/5) which also lacked flavor, and green beans (3.7/5) and carrots (4.8/5) which I wish had come in a bundle and not so small because they were perfectly cooked. - crème brûlée: beautiful appearance with the glass coating, decently flavorful but not as smooth as I expect from a custard; 3.8/5 - carrot cake: clearly pre-portioned and refrigerated prior to service; bone dry, no warm spicy flavor, evident by how dark the outer edges were but how pale the inner bites were. Carrots must have been pulverized before being put in the cake. Walnuts were intended to be the star, but they were softened by refrigeration. Utter disappointment: 1.4/5 When you come to a steakhouse, you don't expect the complimentary bread and the two carrots to be the main highlights of the meal itself. Lesson learned; read reviews even if someone you know suggested it!

I came here as overall reviews, ambience, food and location seemed quite good. Three out of four isn't bad I guess unless for you the food is the driving force. I would rate our food overall as extremely average. Not the high end steakhouse experience I was looking for. Kinda like the keg but more expensive for less quality. The ambience was very nice though kinda loud the night we visited with some drunken hooligans singing their sports songs to gain attention. Strike one. I ordered the rib steak medium rare which I know is pushing it but it came medium to medium well and was most likely an end cut with minimal marbling and even less flavor. I rarely feel the need to send a steak back preferring to eat with everyone else and suck it up. This one was so bad it had to go back. Strike two Our waitress Melanie was the bright spot. Eager to please, charming and for the most part attentive though perhaps a bit "over-assigned". I rarely send a steak back but she knew it was botched and agreed it needed to go back. She was genuinely apologetic for something that certainly was not her fault, the sign of a class A server! Her service would likely lead to me giving this place another shot if invited in a group but not so much as to remove two strikes but enough to not need to add a third. Bravo Melanie. However....two cracked glasses, lackluster desserts (including the curdled crème brûlée which tasted good enough to eat) and the dirty cutlery make this an overall loss for me. My cousin had the porterhouse which was average and over priced at $147 dollars. Given that should be "their best steak" I won't be returning. I'm going to miss seeing Melanie however if the restaurant keeps failing her overall I imagine she won't be here forever.

We came as part of a tour group, were seated upstairs and had a set menu with a few options. While I enjoyed my salmon, many at our table who had the steak said their meat was very uneven (charred at one end, raw at the other) and some said their baked potatoes were cold. I know this is an established, revered steakhouse but either they weren't on their game that night or they don't give the same attention to tour groups. Service was nice. Atmosphere was what you'd expect from a steakhouse: lots of stone and wood.Too bad. Could have been a lovely meal.

Making a reservation was a breeze, especially since it was one of the few steakhouses available in the area on the OpenTable app. Service was impeccable from the moment we arrived. We came at 2 PM, just in time for the tail end of lunch service and the start of their happy hour -- perfect timing to sample their bite-sized appetizers. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The Linguini au Homard Frais was rich and flavorful, with perfectly cooked lobster, while the Filet de Saumon Grillé was grilled to perfection -- moist, flaky, and well-seasoned. From appetizers to dessert, every bite impressed. A must-try if you're in the area!

Vieux-Port Steakhouse was a bit disappointing on the plate, but service and atmosphere were great. It is in the Old Montreal district near the piers and port which hints at its name. There are a number of great looking restaurants and shops on East Saint Paul Street and it seems this steakhouse has fallen into the tourist trap and there are reviews on YouTube that have embellished this steakhouse. It's a beautiful restaurant walking in and we were seated immediately, having arrived punctually for our reservation. We ordered a bottle of St.Emilion red at a decent value of $88 CAD. We also split an iceberg lettuce wedge salad that was a good start. The red wine and sharp cheese in the wedge salad paired nicely. The bread served was good and so was the butter, but nothing exceptional. I ordered the 16oz Cote de Boeuf medium rare and was anticipating a great steak, having my expectations raised about Montreal steak. It looked great on the plate, but the most noteworthy aspect of the steak was the disappointing quality of the cut of meat. It was tougher than expected and portions were not marbled with tender and flavorful fat, but more sinewy and chewy. It was not overcooked, should have been more tender and flavorful, and the quality did not show up on the plate for $69 CAD. The mashed potatoes and veggies, broccoli and carrots, were good and not disappointing. There are places of far lower profile delivering satisfaction above this level and often for less money. Vieux-Port is in a location with a lot of foot and tourist traffic. It's definitely a steakhouse on the map of culinary destinations of Montreal and this results in enhanced ratings in my estimation. Vieux-Port is owned by a company that owns a number of establishments in Montreal that further enhances its profile. For $131 CAD, one can spend their money better elsewhere for better value. Service is great here at Vieux-Port and ambiance is very nice. The wine was good and a good value, so there are a number of factors going for Vieux-Port. However, there are a number of places in Montreal where you will experience greater satisfaction for less money. 3.5 stars

I'm a self-proclaimed foodie & I do lots of food reviews. This restaurant has reasonable service but excellent food. I tried the 8 oz. Filet Minion with veggies & mashed potatoes. I also tried the escargo & French Onion Soup. The soup was to die for & everything else tasted delicious too. I didn't go inside as I ate at the street tables. It was a mostly pleasant experience but the table behind me was loud & obnoxious. It settled down before my food arrived so I kept quiet. Overall, this place is between a 3.5-4 so I rounded up.

Nice steakhouse in touristy Old Montreal. Their menu is complete with the usual steakhouse fare, including a nice range of appetizers and seafood entrees if you aren't feeling like ordering a hunk of red meat. Pretty nice wine and cocktail list as well. I actually came between meals, so opted for the escargots au gratin appetizer along with some wine. The escargot was good -- snails covered in lots of melted cheese, how can you go wrong? The merlot was also excellent. The venue has an expansive outdoor patio facing the street, which makes for pleasant seating when the weather is cooperating. It wouldn't be a steakhouse without bumping up those menu prices...certainly not the most affordable option, but to be expected in this part of town, I suppose.

My boyfriend's quote was "It was right out of a movie." We had a reservation and when we booked they said there was no outside seating available, but that was ok. When we arrived, we got lucky and they had a table outside on the street. The Montreal weather was beautiful so we were so happy! The service was polite and attentive. We got the pork chop, lamb chops, lobster bisque, wine, caesar salad, and chocolate mousse pie! All delicious. A street musician played the whole time and it was such a pleasant experience!

Stopped by this popular Old Port restaurant for Happening Gourmand specials for the month of March (C$49 for a choice of app, entree, dessert based on their limited menu). I got a beer to start (C$9). Then chose the iceberg lettuce with bacon, sirloin steak 7oz with fries and the creme brulee. Everything was average at best but can't argue with the price/value Restaurant is large especially upstairs. Was told in the summer, there are outdoor service/terrasses. Service is fine especially of a restaurant of this type. Dark mood.

Food is quite tasty. We ordered the garden salad, the cod, and a steak. Everything was cooked and presently perfectly. As far as steakhouses go, I felt that this establishment was on the pricier side for what we got. We also arrived early in the evening with a reservation and were sat right next to another couple when so many other seats were available so it was a bit odd. The waitstaff also sort of rush you through the meal. With drinks dinner and dessert I think we wrapped up in an hour or less, and I thought it was going to be more time to enjoy the restaurant. Overall I think it's a nice steakhouse but just isn't the best one around. Again- food is delicious!

The food was okay. For a steakhouse, I expected better steak tbh. The Rib steak didn't come with any bone, which I wish it did, because I love the meat off the bone. Theobster was fantastic though! We got a 1.5lb lobster and it came out sooo tender and buttery. Would definitely recommend this for anyone that loves lobster. Our waitress was super nice, but the service did take a while. Our reservation was at 9pm, but we didn't leave until 11pm because the service took so long. Everything else about the restaurant was good. Can't complain there. It's one of the better priced steakhouses, and for the value it makes sense.

I reserved Vieux-Port Steakhouse about a month in advance for my business party of 7. This was a smart move and I advise you to do the same if in a similar situation. We ordered salmon tartare and the poutine for an appetizer. The poutine was the best I had in Montreal! Between the 7 of us we ordered a variety of salmon, steak, salads, and chicken. Everyone loved their meal! I chose the salmon and was not disappointed. Highly recommend if you are trying to decide what to order. The service was great and we were seated on the patio, which was a cool atmosphere. Wish I would have had another chance to dine here again!

Last night in Montreal and with a full day of walking - I built up quite an appetite and steak was on my mind. After glancing at the menu, I loved the vibe of sitting outside in the nice summer air and the gentle wind flowing through, I knew I had to choose this place. The hostess was kind enough to let me sit in the outside seating area and shortly after a server came out with my water. My waiter stopped and took my drink order. Awhile later, unfortunately, while serving another table their beverages, I heard a crash and there was a bit of an accident with my beer. I'm sure he was upset with himself but, I assured him, when he came to apologize, that I was on vacation and it's ok. Not too long after my drinks arrived and I placed my order. I started with the Burrata salad. So simplistic and yet so good. I eat this dish often and I liked that the plate was seasoned well with a nice ratio of olive oil to balsamic and a drizzle of a basil dressing. Even the tomatoes were cut just right and was not overly ripe which can become to soft and mushy. The mozzarella was perfect and creamy when I cut into it. I had the NY strip as my main dish and that was the star of my evening. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, seasoned nicely 8 wanted to tell the waiter to hug the chef. There was such a good vibe this evening. Having some good food with good drinks and just enjoying the perfect weather while people watching. One could not ask for more. I should mention they do take reservations but, in my case, they also take walk ins. I hope you give this place a try and have a great experience too. Njoy!

Food was great. Love the fish salmon with white sauce. Cooked to perfection. The meat was so tender not overcooked. The rice pilaf and green beans were tasty . Needed more color on my plate like carrots or broccollini The crab cake was excellent. Really tasted the crab meat. The dessert 3 layers chocolate mousse wow. My husband got the steak it was good. Overall it was a hreat dinner in a fancy restaurant. Service was quick. Ambiance very Nice decor and open space.

My husband made reservations on Open Table for my birthday here in advance of our trip. The outside is a picture perfect place with beautiful flowers on the building. The inside is elegant and the waiters were attentive. Most people were dressed pretty casual in spite of the fancy decor. We started our meal by ordering a bottle of wine. It was served chilled by our table. My husband had the pork lion with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. I ordered the filet mignon and lobster with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. After our meal they brought out a slice of chocolate mousse and said happy anniversary. We went with it even though he told them it was my birthday. It was nice that they served it. I sampled the mouse but didn't eat the crust since it wasn't gf. It was a nice place for a special event

We really enjoyed our meal here. We were in town just for the day. After wandering around in the cold, we were happy to find a place that would seat us for dinner. I know there are a lot of special and epic dining options in Montreal... so I want to be clear.... I wouldn't put it in THAT category. But for a decent steak place, we liked it very much. Our steaks were well prepared. Our sides were also quite tasty. We both got the multi-course price fixed meal and it was a decent value with good options. The only minor ding was on service. Our waiter was friendly but I don't know if he just had too many tables (they weren't super full or anything) but we had to ask for more water, remind them to bring us bread...little things like this. But it was good. I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again. The creme brûlée was a particular stand out!

We haven't been to Montreal for five years, you know, Covid border closures and other life events.... This is after visiting yearly, or maybe even more often over the past twelve years. We have been to this restaurant before and it was always top notch, but tonight, it exploded and was ridiculously awesome! The setting, we did the back courtyard, it was perfect, the first drinks, perfect. A Lazy Old Fashioned and a Moscow Mule, simply perfect. The appetizer, burrata over tomatoes, another 10! Two dishes of steak frites, OMG, the Dijon sauce, WOW. Two beautiful glasses of wine with dinner, paired perfectly. Lastly, our waiter/server, Victor was and 11 out of 10. He was fun, respectful, understanding and a joy to work with. We will be back, soon.

The place has a lot of charm. The waiters are very forthcoming and the food was quickly served. The meat was well prepared and cooked to perfection (although they forgot to ask the doneness in one case). Tasty sauces and delicious fries. The Italian wine (LE VOLTE DELL'ORNELLAIA) was a lovely pairing. Overall we can recommend the restaurant.

Not so good. The best thing about our meal was the waitress and a great window side table with a view She was very sweet, kind and helpful. It all went downhill from there. My onion soup was fair with a small amount of melted/burnt cheese enough to cover a small slice of bread but no more. The soup was nothing special. I had a crabcake which was cold and tasteless with hardly a trace of crab in it. My husband's ribeye was not 16 ounces extremely thin and disappointing. I think it just gets the overflow from the Keg next door. It would be best to just make reservations at the Keg steakhouse for a better meal

Prolly one of the best steaks I have ever had. Waiter said it was Canadian beef. There was a choice of seating indoor or in the back there was an outdoor patio. We chose the outdoor seating since it was a beautiful day. I had the New York steak with shrimp and the Mrs had the Lobster Linguini. Both meals cooked perfectly, wine recommendation was also perfect. For the dessert I chose the carrot cake and the Mrs had the Dutch Apple Pie. Get the Dutch Apple Pie - warm and luxurious, almost soggy but you will love it. Service was attentive. They do have specials on the weekend during brunch time. If you never had a perfect steak come try this gem of a steakhouse.

I've dined at Vieux-Port Steakhouse a handful of times over the years and I'm saddened to say the service and food quality has dropped precipitously. Every trip to Montreal in the past, including this summer, I've had this restaurant on the itinerary, but it will be notably absent the next trip. For starters, our server failed to offer us bread and butter even though every table around us had such. Secondly, the waiter not once checked on us after delivering our meals. Most importantly, and the coup de grace, the food was awful. I could have gotten better food at McDonalds around the corner. I'm afraid the popularity of this restaurant has turned it into the usual tourist trap, and me and my friends won't be "trapped" here anymore until we hear of a re-emphasis on service and most importantly food commensurate with the pricing and palate expectations.

My first night in Montreal, I ate dinner here. We were sitting on the patio in back. The atmosphere was very nice and the food was delicious. The service was great. I enjoyed the escargots, Filet Mignon & Lobster and for dessert the Flambee au Grand Marnier. The lobster was a bit dry but everything else was good. The Flambee was a great finish to the meal.

We came here on our last night in Montreal for dinner. It is very busy, so I recommend a reservation, but don't let this worry you because the service was excellent and our waiter was very attentive. For how busy it was, they really get your food out quickly. Our food was pretty good, especially our desserts! I had the chocolate mousse cake and it was amazing. We sat outside and it was a very pleasant environment. A little noisy but we could still talk and understand each other just fine. If the weather is nice, definitely eat outside.

We had a reservation for four and asked to sit near a window. The room was lined with two seater tables along the windows. They sat us as close to a window as possible. The very next party that came in to be seated was a party of two. They sat them right next to us and at the window. There were at least 5 other two seater options along the windows across the entire room that were empty but they put them right ontop of us. We could no longer look out the window and we heard this couples entire conversation. Completely awkward and unnecessary. The food was mediocre. I have had far better steak at chain restaurants. The service was good but obviously they are asking for tables to be seated on-top of each other to make service easier. The wine was good. The ambience was wonderful. Real potential for a nice dining experience. Overall I would not go back. They ruined it with the seating and the food didn't make it worth the awkwardness of basically sitting with people we didn't know.

My expectations were not very high for a restaurant in the heart of tourist zone. Happily my expectations were exceeded. The food was tasty and fresh. I would eat here again except for all the other choices nearby. The staff seemed to operate on some sort of zone coverage with multiple different people taking care of us through the 90 minutes we were there. As a result they were a little unsure of our status throughout the meal. We sat outside and people watched the entire time.

Terrible dried overdone overpriced McDonalds burger. In fact McDonalds burgers are better. Service was good. Ambience was average.

It's good but doesn't stand out as do some Old Port Restaurants. It didn't blow me away. Service was a little slow for a min busy afternoon. They should serve bread rolls or something. The medium steak was more well done than medium. I had filet mignon with shrimp. The shrimp were cooked perfectly. It's a good choice for real food before 4:00. It's not as good as Gibbeys but less expensive. They have some interesting combinations of cocktails, but I just had a beer, more Canadian ha ha.

Service people were pleasant but inattentive. Any type of food or app or anything took forever to come out with bare minimum check ins. Inattentive to bread and water needs. Food wise, it was solid. The filet mignon was in point. Not many veggies were given with the steak but the steak made up for it. The French onion soup was either the best or second best I've ever had.

The waiter was nice. But the food was mediocre to bad. And that is before you consider the price. The lobster hadn't been properly cleaned and was rubbery. The steak was mediocre at best. At a table of 6 no one was particularly happy with their food or finished it. The best part was the mash potatoes and even those weren't great. Go elsewhere.

The food was cooked beautifully. A busy Friday night and service was on point. One of the people with us ordered the calamari. It was cooked to perfection. An extra 30 seconds in the fryer and we would have had rubber. 30 seconds less and you would have had mush. Loved it.

Man did I enjoy this restaurant that was referred to me and some friends by the Conceirge of our hotel. The waiter, Elias, was charming and friendly. He recommended so top choices and was near for our every need. I had the lamb, medium well, mash potatoes, grilled shrimp and garlic shrimp. DELISH! I ordered the apple pie for dessert and it was just ok. The meal however was a wonderful!

Very nice outdoor seating area. I had the surf and turf my daughter had the bone in steak. The food was ok. Nothing stood out. There are so many wonderful restaurants in Montreal that unfortunately ok isn't enough.

Really can't give it a full review beacuse we went for the crab cake and dessert. Part of a 3 restaurant crawl. The crab cake was coated completely like it was processed. The desert was ok. Nothing to write home about. Nice decor. Drinks were good.

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! Follow for more reviews!

This was okay. Food was good. Service was good. Food came out within minutes of ordering it. Even before we got our drinks. Okay won't go again, but it was good.

Steak as good, don't get the lobster, there was no taste in the tail, and they did not give you any tools to break open the claw. Other than the lobster issue, service was slow, nice to sit with friends and family, but 3 hours for dinner, is a bit much. The ambience was nice felt like old town for sure.
