Moishe's

Moishe's Review

The motto says it all: "There is absolutely nothing trendy about Moishe's." Yet, this is a place to be seen, enjoying your largess and ordering a bone-in fillet. If you want a thick, marbled steak, perfectly grilled—preceded perhaps by a slug of premium single-malt Scotch—you've found the right clubhouse. All grilled meat comes with the famous, buttery Monte Carlo potato. Members of the Lighter family, who have been operating Moishe's since 1938, offer other dishes, such as lamb and fish, but people come for the beef, which the family ages in its own lockers. There's also a C$25 "Three Hours to Midnight" special (after 9 pm) Thursday through Saturday.

    Moishe's is the place for steaks, best in Montreal without a doubt. The decor isn't great, one very large room which hasn't changed for decades. But those who know don't go there for the atmosphere, they go for the best steaks around. Service is pretty good and attentive.

    well, the service is bad and the food is worse, as the only thing special about their "special chicken" is that it's burned on the outside, pink inside. Not sure why people go here except out of habit. Slaw side dish nice and sweet with balsamic vinegar and nice pickles.
