Charming
Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood 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.

Why they're an Icon

The ever-changing chalkboard menu features fresh, hearty dishes like lobster spaghetti and filet mignon with bone marrow, all served in a lively, candlelit tavern setting.

So many folks saying this is “the place!” The service was great. However, the food was not was it was hyped up to be. For the amount of money we spent, I wouldn’t recommend.
