Joe Beef

I brought my fiancé here for his birthday as we’ve been wanting to try Joe Beef for a very long time. It did not disappoint. Hands down one of the best meals we’ve ever had. The lobster spaghetti was the highlight of the night for us. We’re excited to give Liverpool House a try the next time we’re in town :)

Une belle adresse. Un maison de passionnés, sans chichis efficace. Une cuisine traditionnelle mais avec le soupçon de fantaisie qu'on adore! Les steaks de porc maturés... Quel délicieuse surprise. Merci

First visit on 2024, Spaghetti still good as usual, but the steak not well served, cant describe le texture. and first time i notice that serveurs smell every oyster when they preparing

Lets get the obvious fact out of the way, this place IS expensive. If you aren't prepared to part with $100+/person, you're just going to be nervous about the bill the whole time. Still worth it! tldr; execution from the staff was spot on and the food was amazing! This place has a calm, organized and posh feel to it. Wife and I visited this place for an early dinner as a last minute whim to dine there. We ordered the Lobster spaghetti and Hanger steak with blood pudding, with oysters and both their Lager and IPA to wash it all down. The Lobster Spaghetti is their most ordered dish, and I'm not surprised why, absolutely delicious. Hanger steak was cooked to perfection and it was my first time having blood pudding and that delicious as well. The fresh oysters were also great, pleasant experience. The beers were alright, both of the lager and IPA tasted identical, fruity and hoppy, the lager just had a stronger carbonation. Overall, we went with safe orders as it was our first time visiting. Next time, if budget allows, we'll definitely venture for more of their 'exotic' offerings and try to get a more suitably dinner reservation. I don't believe this place is the best bang for your buck, but i do believe that I'd be comfortable ordering dishes from Joe Beef that I wouldn't normally consider like Horse Tenderloin.

Have ate at a number of fine dinning establishments in Ottawa. Choose Joe Beef when in Montreal because of Anthony Bourdain televised visits to the restaurant. Upon mentioning my fandom of Bourdain our waiter Julien went above and beyond all night with exceptional service. Concluding our meal Julien gave us a tour of the restaurant. Wonderful food and remarkable service. Would recommend to anyone.

Definitely did not live up to the hype. It’s a cute cozy place but over priced really for what you get. The oysters were nice and fresh and perfectly shucked but the beef wasn’t a quality cut. Glad to say I tried it but most likely won’t return. Friendly polite service, which you should expect.
