A pillar of Montréal’s steakhouse tradition for over six decades, Rib N Reef is a masterclass in old-school indulgence. The menu revolves around dry-aged USDA Prime Midwestern beef, carefully aged on-site using both wet and dry-aging methods for maximum depth of flavour. Steaks are hand-cut and grilled over an open charcoal pit, a nod to the kind of precise, high-heat cooking that defines a top-tier chophouse. Beyond the beef, the experience leans into spectacle—valet service, tableside flambés, and a fully stocked cigar lounge set the tone.
In the summer, the rooftop terrasse offers an open-air alternative, while the wine cellar below provides a more intimate setting. The leather-backed booths, extensive wine list, and unwavering attention to detail cement this spot’s place as a destination for those who take their steaks, and their rituals, seriously.
