  • 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.

    I traveled solo to Montreal for my birthday, and Joe Beef was on my “must go” list. The staff was wonderful and so helpful in helping me decide what to order. The food was incredible. The cocktail I ordered was incredible. It was the perfect spot for a special occasion dinner, and I have a feeling I will be back next time I’m in Montreal.

    The pate was unforgettable and we followed someone’s recommendation to have the lobster spaghettis and that was also amazing.
