There are several steak houses in Montreal, but Moishes is the only one that is really unique to the city. Unlike the Keg and other similar chains, Moishes is, like Shwartz's or Fairmont (or St-Viateur )Bagel, unique to Montreal. Its located on St-Laurent, in the heart of the city. My dad has an in at this restaurant, so I've been lucky to eat there several times recently. Let me tell you something: Every. Single. Time. I have a steak at Moishes, I think of that part in the Matrix when the guy is eating the steak:
"You know, I know this steak doesn't exist. I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After nine years, you know what I realize?
[Takes a bite of steak]
Ignorance is bliss.
If you've never eaten something so good that you feel like it alone is worth living for, you should really invest in a dinner of filet mignon at Moishes.
Recently, I went with my dad and one of my best friends (you can look her up at savvyselections) to the restaurant to try out their new "Three Hours to Midnight" Menu, which features an appetizer, a main, and a coffee for only $25! The menu is available from Thursday to Saturday, after 9 pm.
We tested out many things on the menu including:
Appetizers
-organic salmon tartar (as an appetizer - SO.GOOD.)
-chopped liver (once you get over the "liver" part, it really is delicious)
-chopped salad (with fun veggies like corn and radish, it was a classic salad with an interesting twist. Worth a try, definitely)
Mains
-filet mignon (no words)
-rib steak (huge portion, tiny price.)
-shrimp with sauteed spinach (I didn't get to try this, but it looked fantastic)
-chicken (I am really not a fan of chicken, but this one was really moist and flavorful, as chicken goes)
Here are some pics that I snapped with my Ipod, I apologize for the poor quality.
Here is the menu (You probably have to click on it to see it properly)
