Steak Frites St-Paul

My husband and I came here on our last night in Montréal. We usually go to fancy steakhouses back home that cost $ 170 US when all is said and done. This was almost as good as those only without the price tag. I ordered a Filet mignon with a side of asparagus. My husband ordered the steak and duck with a side of the pan fried mushrooms and truly everything was delicious. I don’t know why people are complaining about the frites. Both of us thought they were great. The mushrooms were out of this world, especially with the steak. The beans were great. And my filet was wonderful. My husband raved about the duck. If I had to search for something to complain about, all I can come up with is the water tasted weird and it was pretty slow while we were there and they seated everyone near the window to make the restaurant look fuller from the outside. This made it feel more cramped than it needed to be. But the food was great and reasonably priced.

good food, friendly waiters, and great location – right near my hotel! I can’t wait to come back to Montréal in the future and eat here again.

The good: The waiter saw us empty handed and was nice enough to remind us that its a BYOW and advise us on the nearest SAQ. The beef tartar was quite tasty, and our steaks were perfectly cooked. They’ll make you love veggies, I swear those green beans must be boiled in butter or something.
The bad: The goat cheese app left something to be desired. Not a great portion, and an improper fried-​to-​cheese ratio. The fries are all-​you-​can-​eat, which might explain why they were pretty awful. I mean, I love all kinds of junk foods, and fried/​unhealthy items like fries are irresistible to me. So when I hand you back a plate with 80% of the fries you gave me still on it, there is a PROBLEM. The fries thing stuck in my mind as I particularly noticed it by the end of my meal. To add insult in injury, the crème brûlée we ordered wasn’t even fired to order. It was put in the fridge post-«brulee» which meant instead of a nice crispy caramelized crust right on top that you can crack into, we got a soggy burned sugar that needed to be scraped off our dessert, which tasted mediocre anyways.
I still love the brand, but mostly ’cause I’m big on BYOs. Steak is good and all but they messed up 2 of 5 dishes… barely a pass.

Le steak était très moyen et pour 27 $ + tx + tips, c’est vraiment dommage. Au goût, ça ressemblait a de la viande de mauvaise qualité et il y avait beaucoup de nerfs dans mon morceau mais aussi dans celui de plusieurs personnes avec moi.
Les frites aussi sont médiocres, peut être justifié par le fait qu’elles sont à volonté.
J’ai très peu apprécié le message sur le menu qui dit que comme c’est un «apportez votre vin» il n’est pas permis d’avoir une facture sous les 20 $. Je trouve cela hypocrite, déplacé et impolis.
J’ai été aussi un peu étonné de voir que le tips était directement pris sur la facture. Je n’apprécie qu’on décide du tips pour moi cependant, et c’est peut-​être le seul point positif, le service était très efficace. Sympathique et rapide, il a valu une deuxième étoile sur ma critique.

We went 6 people and all took their specials. The place is dirty, food is terrible and service just OK. One star. There are many better places around.

Used to be amazing everyone would go there for bdays but now that the menu has changed its not the same.
Also there were drunk guys screaming singing happy birthday 5 times over and over again I mean I love a party but settle down and the restaurant should of done something.
They put their prices up took off the best part of the plate (oven baked cheery tomatoes)
Reuined the salad with a wedge salad when it used to be on Boston lettuce with onions.
Way to go

Disgusting. I can’t believe I got stuck in a tourist trap in my own city. Just wanted to sit outside and have a steak. Wish I could say it was a decent meal. We had the 8oz steak frites and the plate was not worth $ 28. Don’t waste your money or appetite here.

This was close to our hotel so we ate there last night. I had the scallops (perfectly cooked) and lobster (overcooked). My mom’s lobster was well cooked as was my daughter’s burger. The goat cheese appetizer was tasty. Service was very attentive.

NPS = 6
The steaks were alright and this restaurant is a BYOWine type of place.
The price we paid for the steaks was a bit much for what the steaks were.
The service was on point though. Very nice fellow that help us tourists out.
The menu is written in chalk on a board. Definitely make sure to bring your own wine though!
I love the concept of BYOW. I just wish I would’ve known about it before coming to the restaurant (even though alcohol, wine, and beers are taxed heavily in Canada).
It was convenient to eat here while staying at the Intercontinental.
But with so many great other places in Montréal, I’d say save this place for last resort.
You can definitely have a lot of other unique places to eat around here on a short trip. This place is just simply… okay.

WTF — Wow that’s Fantastic! Sorry for the scare Steak Frites St-​Paul. I came here with business associates, mainly because of the proximity to our hotel, the Intercontinental. Its right across the street. They are well known for their steaks, but many other options with a French flair. I had the French onion soup and the Duck Confi Salad. Both made very well and service was good. The only complaint I could think of was the noise level. Outside of that, it is on my list to return here.

Ideally located for a business lunch downtown. The food is good and the service is quick…

We ate her after the lunch hour and the restaurant was empty, so it was nice and quiet.
We ordered:
Calamari Frites: It was just okay, typical calamari. the sauce that comes with it that makes it even better.
Rillette de Canard: It was just okay and I mean just okay. Bread was stale and rillette was small and nothing to it.
Steak Frites: it was so good and the french green bean was so delicious and buttery. the frites was on point and steak was little too small, however it was good.
Salmon Tartare: really good, highly recommended. a lot of good flavor on them.
It was so close to the hotels, we were in a pinch. if we weren’t that hungry, I probably went somewhere else.
Service was good though!

The service at the restaurant was great, the food was also really good! To start off, I ordered the fried calamari and it was one of the best calamari I have ever had! There was a dill pickle sauce on the side that was really good as well. For the main, I ordered the steak frites with mushroom sauce. Let me tell you, I have no complaints about the food there at all.
In addition, it is also a bring your own wine place! (which is always a bonus :)).

We had the time of our lives here. Granted, we were on vacation, so this review is through the rose-​colored glasses of having nothing to do but whatever we want.
First and foremost: this place is bring your own wine. This is not uncommon in Montréal, but that doesn’t make it less awesome. No corking fee and they brought over a bucket of ice right away because we brought a white.
It’s a little pricey here, but so are many of the restaurants in this area of Montréal, and this was a great place to get classic steak-​frites! The service was top-​notch, polite and friendly but not at all overbearing, just there when you need them.
The steak was really nice and flavorful and the frites were thin and crispy and they brought us more when we ran out! Quelle service! We also split a MASSIVE side of asparagus… maybe it’s just that they were in season but they gave us a TON, and it was the best.
But the cherry on top was the Profiteroles. We thought we were ordering the $ 4 tapas plate of them but turns out we ordered the full dessert. Normally I might be sad that I suddenly had to pay twice as much but these babies were so worth it. Generous hot rivers of chocolate sauce, puffy crisp pastry, cold vanilla ice cream… they were the height of desserty fantasy. Seriously, best I’ve ever had. Ever. Get them. Must.
Would go back in a heartbeat!

The décor was nice. The place is a BYO wine type of place so since we went in hungry and unaware we didn’t feel like going to find a liquor store. Skip the tuna tataki. The bruschetta that comes with it completely overwhelms the delicate taste of the tuna. My parter ordered his steak rare and it came out overdone. I had the duck confit salad and it was very delicious just the right amount of tender and crispy. The service was also good. So overall it was ok. Nice but nothing special.

Un jeudi soir plutôt calme. Un bon service, un bon plat (steak frite), viande très goûteuse et cuisson parfaite, on aimerais un accompagnement plus recherché (frite classique + haricot vert). Concernant le dessert un fondant au chocolat correcte mais rien d’exceptionnel. Concernant les autres plats, filet de dorée et filet de porc St Paul, et saumon très bon aussi.

Don’t be fooled by their online menu. Went in and realized that their tapas menu was missing key dinner items.
Left the restaurant after explaining to the waiter why we were doing so. Waiter and manager gave us both unpleasant looks.

We came here for our Valentine’s dinner. This was an excellent choice.
Service: ⁵⁄₅
The service was excellent. Our server was friendly and the rest of the wait staff cleared our table frequently, and brought out the food quickly. The flow of the meal was timed nicely.
Food & Service ⁵⁄₅:
I loved the warm bread they served here, this and a touch of butter made this awesome. For apps we ordered the tuna, escargot, and calamari. I really enjoyed the tuna and the escargot. Tuna was flavoured nicely and cooked perfectly with a light sear. The cheese on the snails was amazing and had that great gooy texture of melted cheese. This paired really nicely with the warm bread. The calamari was ok, I’ve had better at other restaurants. I think that the batter was ok, but the calarmi itself a bit underdone. Ironically enough we didn’t end up getting steak here. Instead I opted for the lamb shank. This was cooked perfectly until it was almost falling off the bone. The meat was tender and flavourful. It didn’t have the strong lamb taste — that you can sometimes get when ordering lamb. The rosemary sauce on the lamb was delicious. I enjoyed the green beans, which were crunchy and give the dish a nice textural element. I also enjoyed the fries, which are the thin type and they weren’t too oily and had nice crunch. My boyfriend ordered the lobster with scallops and asparagus. Everything was cooked perfectly. There was this amazing lobster sauce that accompanied his dish that was creamy and had a really nice subtle lobster taste to it. After all of this we decided that there was enough room to get dessert. We ordered the molten lava cake with vanilla ice-​cream. This was baked perfectly with the soft centre in the middle.
For the entire meal with apps, main, dessert with tax and tip it came up to about $ 100. This is a great place to bring that special someone, or to celebrate an event. For wine lovers, you can bring your own wine and they don’t charge a corkage fee.
Décor: ⁴⁄₅
The restaurant is fairly big and the dark wood, white table clothes, and black chalk board signs, give the place a clean yet elegant feel. It’s a great spot for both a romantic dinner or if you want to celebrate something special.
I’ll be back again the next time I’m in Montréal.

This was a good spot for old-​fashioned steak and frites (French fries). This is no frills and I liked that. The only thing that was a surprise was the price point — it was pretty high for a place that came off as a bit casual. The service was good and attentive and I left a satisfied customer.
Also, as a note, no wine, but they welcome bringing your own bottle.

This place rocked! We happen to get 100 $ gift card between two of us, so we really splurged and tried everything! We got Onion rings, Calamari & shrimp to start. All great choices, the shrimp is a little smaller but the calamari made up for it, amazing! We then each got the Lobster Scallop main dish, (around 30 $ plate), it was unbelievable. Served on too of a helping of veggies and unlimited fries and salad (as if we had room)! We brought our own bottles of wine in, which is such a cool thing about montreal, and took a cheesecake to go. It was huge, and so yummy! The service was very professional, not overly speedy but I understand that comes with fancier restaurants! Highly recommended!

Correct. Je n’ai pas commandé de steak car je n’aime pas en manger le midi, j’ai seulement pris la soupe à l’oignon, qui était délicieuse. Le pain avec beurre est servi chaud, le service est bien, j’ai quand même exigé qu’on change mon ustensile car il était sale :-(j’ai goûté aux frites et elles étaient bonnes mais j’en ai mangé de bien meilleures dans ma vie. La salade en entrée de mes collègue était très basique. Le dessert était succulent (profiterole).
Bön endroit pour un lunch d’affaire, mais honnêtement je trouve les prix élevés pour ce type de qualité. Il manqué un petit «quelque chose».

We had a huge group dinner here of 19 people and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves! The fantastic thing about this restaurant is it is bring your own wine/​beer so we brought a healthy 19 bottles with a 12er of beer! For this evening I ordered the Calimari as an app followed by the Steak Frites (St Paul cut). I ordered it rare and it came out a bit more medium rare. Served with a nice mustard sauce with some nice crispy fries! Everyone in the group seemed satisfied with a full belly! A great evening!

Une belle terrasse dans le vieux port de Montréal, une bonne ambiance, un bon morceau de viande avec un bon verre de vin australien. Tout va bien dans le meilleur des mondes, mais quand l’addition arrive, tout s’écroule!
Le serveur nous a proposé des plats en dehors de la carte (sur la carte, le steak 7 Oz est à 22 $) comme le Châteaubriant de 6, 12 ou 14 Oz mais sans nous mentionné les prix. Vu les prix de la carte, plutôt corrects, on né s’attendait pas à payer 70 pièces pour un Châteaubriant.
Le cadre est très agréable mais payer ce prix pour un morceau de viande, plus jamais!

Another spot that I forgot to bring my own wine… quick 4 block or so walk and I was back to sit down for dinner!
I had steak. With beaucoup des frites. The steak was actually quite awesome… I ate the St Paul, wow, surprised me how tasty it was! Then there are unlimited fries, and when they say unlimited I feel it my duty to at least have a second helping… and since I was already so stuffed I ate desert as well…
The place lost my reservation, but it ended up that I didn’t need one for 6 people anyways on a Tuesday night. Still, a bit annoying.
All in all was very good. I would return here.
