Best Seafood Restaurants in Monkland Village

This was my second visit to Fishbone, and I'm just as pleased as I was the first time. The food continues to be top-notch, and the bar staff can accommodate nearly any request. Our waiter, Renzo, was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. As always, the restaurant hosts incredible DJs, and this time DJ Fice really stood out with a versatile mix that kept the vibe going all night. I’ll definitely be back!

We were given a wonderful booth seating that kept things pleasantly quiet. It was well worth any awkwardness in getting in and out of the middle if the bench. Our waiter gave excellent service. I believe his name was Justin. Food restrictions were handled admirably by kitchen manager Nigel. The only thing I could wish for is lower prices so we could go more often!

This restaurant, tucked away from the bustling streets, offered us a warm welcome as the owner kindly took our coats. Our table, marked by our surname, set a charming tone for the evening. The staff was incredibly attentive, effortlessly switching between English and French to make our evening special. The food speaks for itself, requiring no embellishments to hide flaws. For instance, the lobster bisque featured delightful, recognizable chunks of lobster instead of being overloaded with cream. The dover sole, walleye, shrimp, and lobster were cooked to perfection. Our waiter provided levity and anticipated our needs, he effortlessly recommended wine pairings. Later, we discovered that his father was the owner. With such attentive and friendly service, we truly felt as though we were enjoying a fine dinner at a dear friend’s house. The entire evening was perfect, and I eagerly look forward to returning again and again!

We had an amazing time. We learned of Joe Beef from an Anthony Bourdain special last year, and in March of this year we learned we were going to move here. We’ve been planning to go here since we arrived in August, and were finally able to make it. It was everything we hoped it would be, and we were able to try some amazing dishes. Staff are extremely attentive, knowledgeable and engaging. Definitely the first of many visits while we live here.

So professional and such a great place! Only place in Montreal with this level of service plus a cigar lounge!
