| - Oldskool steakhouse in old Montreal. I found it through Yelp and decided to check it out while I was on vacation this summer in Canada. Yelp did not let me down!
Old Montreal gives the restaurant ambience by location, but when you walk inside, you get the feeling you're in an old place. You can almost picture folks huddled around their mugs in an old tavern talking about the days' events in the 1800s. It's dark inside, but also inviting, and the restaurant was filled with boisterous patrons enjoying a fine meal!
The food is classic steakhouse, with very choice cuts and classic styles like Beef Wellington, Steak Diane, Au Poivre, and Bearnaise. They have chicken (Chicken Kiev too!), and a variety of fresh seafoods and salads as well.
They serve a dish of fresh homemade pickles to every table, and they are fantastic! Gibby's is a can't miss restaurant in historical old Montreal. A little pricey, but absolutely worth every penny! I strongly recommend making reservations beforehand. I was dining solo, so they were able to find me a little spot downstairs, but the restaurant was very crowded - another indication of a top notch restaurant!
Enjoy!
