The Keg Steakhouse + Bar – Montreal

Great service considering they sat us (party of 11) on very short notice. My wife and I shared the 20 oz bone in ribeye. Cooked to perfection! It was very well seasoned, if you like it kinda peppery. Garlic mashed potatoes were also delicious, along with the garlic cheese toast. Our starter of the French onion soup was probably one of the best I’ve ever had. My daughter had the kids bbq grilled chicken breast, which was on the dry side, but still very tasty. The side of vegetables she got with her meal were excellent, soft and tasty. If you’re hankering for a great steak, you can’t go wrong with this place!

We come to the Canadian Grand Prix every year and this is always our first stop when we get into town Thursday night. We always try new spots to eat throughout the entire weekend but when we get into town late, we know we can come here, get seated, have an awesome, satisfying meal, and not pay a fortune.
The escargot app is always a go-​to, this time for an entrée I had the big prime rib cut with garlic mashed potatoes and they had a special where you could add on a half a lobster to any entrée so obviously I did that.
Have been here more times than I can count and we always have a great time, awesome food, and excellent service. Will be back next time we’re in Montréal.

Highly recommend The Keg Steakhouse in Old Montréal… Awesome service, awesome food and friendly atmosphere… We were seated quickly and considering it was Grand Prix Week-​end on a Sunday evening, and our 40^th wedding Anniversary. We were so happy we chose the Keg to start our celebration… My choice was Filet Mignon with lobster tail and twice baked potato with grilled vegetables… Cooked to perfection and flavourful… My husband had the same however he chose strip sirloin… The price is awesome and very affordable… And the bacon wrapped scallops were to die for! Yum. Our waiter/​server surprised us with complimentary bubbly and an ice cream dessert that was delicious… Thank you and Hats off to the Keg… We will be back! And thanks also for your hospitality. Sincerely, Violet Bye

Had a great night with my friend. The service is awesome! Speaking of the food, we love the iceberg salads a lot! The steak is good too. For the dessert, brownie is just perfect! We had a wonderful meal and will come back for sure.

Excellent steak and fish entrees and delicious appetizers. Also very attentive staff in classic setting.

Great food, professional service, great atmosphere…
New York strip steak cooked to a perfect temperature and very flavourful! Everything was delicious?
Don’t miss this place if you are in town!!!

My first trip to Montréal. Looking to get get a nice steak close to the Embassy Suite. Found this place. I sat at the bar since u was by myself. Julie greeted me with a wonderful smile. I ordered the fillet, medium rare, cesar salad and baked potato. Added a glass of shiraz. The food was excellent and I would definitely come back.

The Keg is great.
I had the calamari as appetizer. It’s not serve with the traditional sauce.
I had the New York steak. My girlfriend had the sirloin. It was so good and no salt or pepper needed.
I had my steak well done. You can see the grill mark. My girl had hers medium. It was excellent.
Next time I visit Montréal, I definitely have to try something else here

Although a late reservation on a Sunday night, my experience was good. Service was excellent and the food was all delicious.
I can imagine this location being a busy scene on a Friday or Saturday night during the summer. If you’re nearby and looking for a steakhouse vibe, you should check it out.

This is my round 2 visit to this Keg. Came by some time ago & it was only ok.
This time it was outrageously good. The 10oz Filet was done to perfection. The twice baked was superb & the speed & service were right on. Say what you want about The Keg but for this visit my experience was fantastic!

This place was amazing from beginning to end! We’ve never been to The Keg or any of it’s other locations. This was actually mine and my husband’s first visit to Montréal, CA. And wow! Were we blown away.
We started with the baked shrimp scampi. So freaking good! You have to try it is all i can say!
I ordered the peppercorn NY strip steak, being from NYC it’s hard to impress my with a classic NY dish but boy was i surprised! The steak was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious! Very flavorful and very tender (hard to believe since i prefer my steaks more than well, usually their just dry!!)
My husband ordered the bacon wrapped filet Mignon with a lobster tail. He’s still talking about that filet! He really, really enjoyed it! I did have a taste of it and it too was very tender and tasty! I’m not a big lobster fan so i didn’t try it but my husband did like it.
Just when we were ready to ask for the check, our wonderful, catering, more than pleasant server, Max, brought us a «welcome to Montréal» ice cream cake. It was almost like a snickers bar but 10 000 000 times better! My husband isn’t a dessert person buy he sure did enjoy this one. After all that we were surely ready to go… But it wasn’t over yet!
To top off our lovely dining experience, the best server ever, Max, came to our table bearing 2 glasses of «happy anniversary» champagne. How special!
The Keg really keeps up with their reputation and it shows. Thank you for making our dining experience so pleasant and thank you Max for being great!

We ate here on our first night in Montréal. I was already familiar with The Keg, because they used to have one in Kirkland, Wash. that my dad always took me to.
It was pretty similar to how I remember, although this location is much larger than other. The waiter was very friendly and funny, and even gave us some good bar recommendations afterward. Dinner was great, I had the NY strip steak and it was cooked perfectly and had a great flavor — not too meaty, not too fatty. I’m getting hungry thinking about it now. The French onion soup was excellent, probably the best I had in Montréal.
Looking for a good steakhouse? Here’s your place.

A five star experience every single time.
As I have indicated before, I am from New York City, a city that prides itself with having some of the best steak options on the planet. I have the «Meathead» Unilocal Badge for checking into so many steakhouses. Yet, I am giving this place five stars. And this steakhouse is in Montréal. Allow me to explain why:
Food: it is extremely difficult to walk away dissatisfied with the food here, especially if you’re from New York City. Steak, lobster tail and king crab legs simply can’t be a bad combination. The restaurant may have gotten lots of feedback about flavor, because the steaks that came were perfectly marinated in my opinion, and the flavor was a source of great bliss. The bleu cheese steak with king crab is highly recommended, but only if you love the taste of blue cheese. The steak was also wrapped in a slice of bacon! Perfect! I recommend the «Miller pie» for dessert, which is really a slice of ice cream cake drizzled with caramel and fudge. Wow.
Service: incredibly responsive but not too overbearing.
Décor: we like this one more than the other Keg because it is much more well-​lit! We also like being seated near the windows!
I shall come back again!

I’m going to try to keep this (somewhat) brief, for fear of raving on and on about this place for several pages. I love steak, and whenever I travel I try to find a local steakhouse to try out. Given how much steak can vary one restaurant to another due to quality of cut, prep, cooking, etc., it tends to be a bit of a gamble. But I’m glad I picked The Keg to gamble on out of the many steakhouses in Old Montréal.
My sirloin was cooked impeccably — perfectly consistent all the way through. The cut was fantastic and the meat was incredibly flavorful. Seasoning was done just about perfectly as well — just enough to complement the flavor of the meat and add to the taste, but not enough to be distracting or overpowering. I’m normally not a big fan of mashed potatoes (heresy, I know), but the garlic mashed potatoes were outstanding. My girlfriend ordered a chicken entrée which she told me she loved, but I was too busy enjoying one of the best sirloins I’d had in years to pay too much attention.
Speaking of paying attention, I seem to recall atmosphere and service being nice and about what you’d expect for a somewhat upscale steakhouse. But honestly, I was just so impressed with the steak that it’s hard to remember much else.
I occasionally think about driving all the way back up to Montréal some weekend just to go back for dinner again. I mean the rest of the city is nice too, but I’ll be happy with just another great meal.

Our experience at the Keg left us with mixed feelings. The food was really, very average and reminded us of just a notch above Outback Steakhouse. Many of the steaks we ordered were either severely undercooked or just cold and the prices aren’t really that cheap. With that, the escargot were quite tasty as were the shrimp cocktail. My husband has a soy allergy and the manager at the time, Jonathan, went above and beyond to accommodate him. However, even with his plate there was an error from the kitchen. Jonathan recognized the lack of quality that our food arrived in and took care of the entire bill. Talk about EXCELLENT customer service. He is probably the only reason we would give this place another shot and why I gave it 3 stars.

Came here for lunch on a quiet Friday afternoon and had a lovely experience.
They had a great lunch special for $ 15– app (soup or salad), entrée Steak, chix or veg and dessert– crew brûlée or choc mousse.
What a great DEAL! Portions were also very generous. Food was very good. Steak and fries were yummy and cooked perfectly. Broccoli soup very good.
Desserts– we got 1 of each. Both were delicious!
Sourdough bread they serve with each table also very good with butter yum.
Service good too.

This was my first time eating at this location in the Old City, I had previously eaten at their downtown location several years back so I new what to expect, or did I? For a starter I ordered escargot stuffed mushroom caps with garlic herb butter which I have had in countless locations but nothing like this, the mushrooms and snails worked perfectly together and the garlic butter herbs was more of a rich emulsion, thick, decadent and a flavor that will have you swooning. My Salad was mixed field greens, garden vegetables with a vinaigrette and I asked for goat cheese and walnuts. The dressing didn’t have quite enough vinegar for me but I had a lemon wedge from my water which took care of that, still and all, it was a wonderful fresh nicely presented green salad. The Keg is known for it’s Canadian beef, especially It’s Baseball Cut Top Sirloin which I had not had before, so I ordered it cooked rare with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. This cut of meat is so thick it can only be guaranteed rare or a medium rare without burning the out side, so don’t try to order it any other way. It was cooked to a perfect rare with all the tenderness of a Filet Mignon and the wonderful intense beefy flavor of a sirloin. The garlic mashed potatoes were perfect along with the green beans. This was a very good steak dinner and the escargot… well you will have to go and see for yourself because words are woefully inadequate to describe this rich garlicky buttery herb flavored delightful escargot preparation!!!

Again! Excellent service! 10 minute wait to be seated but ordered a drink at the bar!
The server (I forget his name) was very friendly. He paused a few times to think of his words to speak in English but it was never an issue!
He was very attentive and complimentary to us!
I had the 12oz sirloin which was cooked to perfection. Served with a twice backed potato. The drinks were well made and they served a slice of cake for the birthday celebration to boot!
The keg is worth every dollar spent in my opinion. From the mood lighting, the front staff, to the server and quality of food. Made for a very delicious meal and evening before going out for the night!
The only thing I would suggest is a bar promo! I would probably order more drinks at the keg if this was an option!
Can’t complain!

Le meilleur steak depuis le début du voyage!!! Un New-​York saignant, à couper avec le manche du couteau…, c’est dire!

My boyfriend and I decided to splurge a little for dinner since the USD is strong in Canada. So we searched for a steakhouse in Old Montréal and it came down to the Keg and Gibby’s.
Gibby’s was a bit much so we opted for The Keg and I am pleased to say it was top notch and hands down the best steak I’ve had yet.
The interior is not fancy by any means, but it’s definitely not run down. It looks more like a pub bar than a steakhouse — but don’t let the interior fool you. They serve up great cuts and delicious food.
We started with the crispy shrimp, which was a generous plate of small, popable bites. I could not stop eating these, they were SO good. I had the refreshingly tasty raspberry cosmo — another generous portion.
Our awesome waitress recommended their popular rib steak so my boyfriend opted for that and I chose the filet mignon. Both dishes were out of this world. Every single thing on the plate was delicious. The steaks were cooked to perfection! The flavor couldn’t be more perfect.
I highly recommend everyone check this out when in Old Montréal.

Bien mais pas top.
La cote de bœuf était pleine de gras alors une chance que j’ai pris la 14 ou car avec la 9 ou je n’aurais pas eu grand chose à manger.
Service ok
Crevettes gratinées en entrée (mais qu’est-ce qui pourrait être mauvais avec une sauce a l’ail.
Bonne sélection de vin.

It was our first time visiting the Old Port location in Old Montréal. We had been to the steakhouse in Place Ville Marie in Centreville, which is very luxurious and chic. The Old Port location had a bit more comfortable feel to it, with brick walls, wooden ceilings, and a slight Western feel.
We made reservations before we went, a few hours in advance to avoid waits.
We ordered the calamari to share as our appetizer, then the Baseball Top Sirloin with fries for Ken, and the Mushroom & Onion Manhattan with twice baked potato for myself. Oh, and the mystic cider for me as a drink.
As soon as we ordered, our waitress brought us our house bread, which we always enjoy! Their warm bread is always so tasty, especially with the soft butter, that you will finish it in no time. The cider tasted kind of just like apple juice, very smooth and sweet. You couldn’t really taste the alcohol in the drink.
Very crisp calamari, with the addition of fried sliced jalapeño peppers and red onions, it immediately became one of my favourites! The appetizer also came with greek feta sauce and sweet ginger garlic sauce, which both tasted amazing with the calamari. I would definitely recommend this appetizer, if you’re ever at the Keg. Another appetizer we would like to recommend is the spinach dip, but hubby says that it has been taken off the menu. If you ever see it available, please try it for us!
We were very satisfied with our dinner, and we were able to restore our love for the restaurant, since we hadn’t been there for a long time. Everything was perfect. It was even snowing when we left the restaurant, just how I like it. The service was nice, our waitress didn’t make any mistakes, wasn’t rude, etc.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you’re ever in the area, or even the other locations in Montréal and across Canada.

Juste… Excellent !
Les prix sont un peu élevés mais l’endroit et la cuisine le justifient complètement. La viande est succulente et l’accompagnement aussi. Un conseil, y aller assez tôt le week-​end ou plutôt en semaine car il y a beaucoup de monde.
Définitivement à recommander.

Je pense que le Keg est un choix safe si tu veux avoir un bon steak. La cuisson est telle que demandé. Bien sur ce n’est pas un restaurant français mais bien américain donc un peu plus gras. Pas gras fast-​food mais plus avec une bonne touché de beurre. Le service était impeccable. La musique douce et romantique. Bön endroit à aller en amoureux. :)

Mon doux! Ça n’a pas de sens comment ce resto né vaut pas la peine d’y aller!
C’EST BEN TROP CHER!
J’étais invité à dîner aujourd’hui, donc ça né me tentait pas de manger un filet mignon. Je voulais essayer leur soupe à l’oignon et leur hamburger. Je m’attendais à de quoi de qualité, de spécial, surtout pour le prix.
Mes invités ont mangé le spécial du chef, un PETIT morceau de saumon pour 25 $. Je n’en revenais pas, et c’était rien de spécial.
La soupe à l’oignon était vraiment bof. Gibby’s fait une excellente soupe à l’oignon, c’est souvent sur elle que je me base. Et celle du Keg né lui arrive même pas à la cheville.
La viande du hamburger était ridicule, pourtant ce n’est pas compliqué offrir un hamburger de haute qualité, surtout quand tu le paye 21 $.
Une chance que je n’ai pas payé pour ce lunch, sauf que je vais jamais aller là de plein gré, et surtout payer.
Certes, on va me dire que le Keg c’est pour le steak, le filet mignon, les côtes-​levées peut-​être? Mais quand t’es pas capable de faire une soupe à l’oignon, un hamburger ou servir du saumon de qualité, ça en dit gros sur la qualité du restaurant.
À ÉVITER!

Voici un restaurant avec classe! Et a un prix abordable ils sont super et l’ambiance est vraiment bonne! Alors j’invite tout le monde à essayer le keg!

Tout simplement le meilleur restaurant que j’ai pu visiter lors de mon séjour à Montréal (10 jours). Bien placé, au cœur du vieux Montréal, avec une terrasse très agréable, le Keg propose des viandes tout simplement délicieuses… Ah, ce filet mignon ! (rien à voir avec le filet mignon français) Même s’il est plutôt cher, comptez 30 $ hors taxes et hors service pour une pièce de viande, il mérite que vous lui rendiez visite !

C’est steakhouse, je dirait même plus THE steackhouse.
Il est très classe, les prix s’en ressentes, il est chère. Il fait bar et resto. On y mange de la VIANDE: entrecôte, steak, rumsteck, côtes de boeuf, agneau, porc, bien préparé et de bon morceau, Mais qu’est ce qu’il est chère.
Pour les végétarien, il y a 1 plat ou 2 sans viande. Pendant que j’y pense, la saison du homard commence (fin août), ils servent aussi de belles bêtes :D .
Ambiance classe, service plus que parfait, de très bon produit, cuisson parfait les portions généreuses mais il est chère.
donc 2 étoiles seulement
