Another great review by my bro's fried, Erik. Thank you for going to so many restaurants that I don't have the money to go to, hahaha!
Not only is it one of the best restaurants in Montreal for its
cuisine, Joe Beef is also renowned for its creativity, its ambiance and
of course, its history.
Named after a 19th century
innkeeper, this restaurant has become an institution in Montreal and a
single visit there will show you why. Nestled in Little Burgundy, which
is known for its boutique eateries, Joe Beef serves up what can be
described as french cuisine with an accent on meats and seafood. For
those who aren't counting calories, as an appetizer I would strongly
recommend the foie gras Double Down (which is not comparable to the KFC
version!). The horse tartare is also delicious. For the main course,
everything is good and your choices are not scarce. I personally enjoyed
the rabbit with prune sauce. If you love steak then you should try the
prime rib for two. Don't forget your appetite because this piece of meat
is larger than the plate! It's important to know that they make slight
changes to the menu on a regular basis depending on the season and
availability of certain ingredients on the market. May be worth trying
something that's new on the menu.
Now that we've
covered the food, it's time to discuss about the other part of the meal.
Wine! Their wine selection, as advertised on their blackboard, is very
extensive therefore you should ask your waiter for his/her
recommendation on which wine accompanies your meal selection.
Joe
Beef offers an intimate setting yet it's loud enough to keep you awake.
You can go there on a date, as a couple or with a group of friends. No
restrictions here however you have to reserve because this place is
always full. Oh yes, and the only reason that will make you think twice
about coming back is the price, because it's not cheap!. Having said
that, you get what you paid for which is excellent food and wine.
Food: 10/10
Service: 8/10
