Joe Beef was fantastic. The venison was good and the duck was outstanding. Both proteins were tender and sauced and spiced extremely well. The ham and aged cheddar appetizer had saltiness, a little funk and just the right amount of sweetness from the apples. The steak was very well aged if slightly overcooked. This is decadent dining at its finest.
What made it a true five star experience was the friendly and knowledgeable staff. They picked excellent wines to pair with the food, put together a great cheese plate and allowed us to close the place down as the last guests.
A can't miss destination if you are in Montreal. (But plan to eat light the next day.)
