Tips

"The menu changes daily – but Tony orders up clams, a double down, beef, chicken and duck. As seen on Travel Channel’s The Layover with Anthony Bourdain."

"This classic steak & seafood joint takes local Quebecois ingredients and turns them into belly-warming comfort food."

" People ask me all the time what my favorite restaurant in the world is, and I always give them the wrong answer. My favorite restaurant in the world is Joe Beef. -David Chang [Eater 38 Member]"

"A bloody Caesar with spectacular garnish. Comes with two olives, a pickle, a celery stalk, an orange wedge, a jumbo shrimp, & topped off with a salted oyster. You'll love it."

"Food is amazing, especially the beef steak & cream of mushroom soup. Great atmosphere & ambiance, & friendly staff. However, the service was very slow; waited over an hour just for a soup and salad."

"Ribs, ribs, ribs. They fall off the bone here."

"Have the foie gras double down, ridiculous!"

"Definitely the most interesting toilette I've ever been in..! Make sure you check it out, even if you don't have to pee.."

"Two words: deer belly. Service impeccable."

"A gouter absolument : le Bloody Ceaser avec l'huitre et crevette :-)"

"Le steak Joe Beef est divin!"

"Foie Grad double down, just do it."

"Sit at the bar and you'll get the most attentive service in the restaurant. Order whatever the staff tells you."

"Talk about amazing Quebec bistro food! If they have the foie gras double down on offer, and you're feeling brave of heart, go for it. Otherwise, trust your waiter and they'll lead you well."

"Menu when you come in is also written on a blackboard but what differs from my experience in their other establishments is that the waiter went over each item with ..."

"Tip the staff well, they're awesome!"

"Portions are generous. Food and service both very good."

"Bill Addison's review: The signature 'spaghetti lobster-homard,' with chopped bacon & tarragon among the cream and butter, bridges the decadence between retro lobster Thermidor and pasta carbonara. "

"Shrimp mayonnaise avocado salad amazing!"

"1. order a joe beef pilsner - it's brewed for the joint. 2. ask for a tour of the garden to see where your salad comes from. 3. savor the oysters. 4. order everything with foie gras. 5. foie gras!!!"

"Get the oysters and the lobster spaghetti and the bloody Caesar. Everything is delicious. Service is fantastic."

"A-mazing BBQ ribs."

"Excellent meal in so many ways: menu, service, terrace seating, music and of course the beef. Spectacular."

"Stick to the appetizers: foie gras double down, meat pie and shaved truffles, and compote de lapin rule!"

"Le menu de ce resto est complètement hallucinant, on veut tout essayer! De plus, très belle déco vintage!"
