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.

Joe Beef is fantastic. We had oysters, escargot in the most adorable little pots, then duck breast and rabbit for our mains.

I've been wanting to come for a long time. I've heard so many good things and thought maybe Joe Beef couldn't live up to the hype. Hospitality, service, food, blew us away!!! Keep up the great work and thanks to the team for an amazing night.
