Came here with a friend. We sat at the bar. Oysters were $1 each before 7pm and they were fresh and delicious. I had the lobster and shrimp pasta. While my friend had the veal special. Both dishes were amazing! Great portions for the dish. Price was decent. Will come back here again!!!!

We came to Zibo for a friends bday. Overall the service was great when we arrived, taking our drink orders promptly. When it came to the food orders, it just took a really long time to get organized and take the order, and obviously because we were a big group we didn't eat until 2h30 hours after we arrived. Our platter was delicious! The meat was a bit cold when it arrived but overall the quality of the food for the price of the platter was very good!

Popped into ZIBO! during their $1 oyster promotion. We ended up ordering a dozen oysters, the ZIBO salad, penne with mushroom sauce and prosciutto, and a mule. The salad was very nice and served in a generous portion. The oysters and mule were great too, but the penne was just ok. One minor issue we did notice was with the oysters — they were very small and arrived half submerged in water as the ice bed had already partially melted.

I can't believe people would order pasta here. Pasta is Italian not some Mish mash of whatever you think people would like in it. I had a bland salad and then a not so great sirloin. Waitress was great. Food came out in a timely fashion but that pasta (chicken and sausage)just started the night badly and confirmed what I thought. We ordered this monstrosity as a joke and it didn't disappoint our suspicions.

Food was really good, is a shame because the servers were inattentive and did not bring my wife her second drink after more than 10 minutes of waiting. On the bright side I got to make this cool little guy out of pizza crust. But then the server who picked up the plate made him fall apart and that isn’t acceptable.

This was a very last minute dinner but it was very good! We got 3 appetizers: calamari, warm brie & the chicken dumplings and they were all so amazing, especially the calamari. For our main meals I got the shrimp pizza, and my friends got the mac n cheese, lobster and shrimp fettucini pasta, and the Caesar salad with grilled salmon and none of us had any complaints!! Our waiter was super nice and even gave me and my friend drinks for free! The service wasn’t the best though but they were about to close so we understood.

Visited Zibo for our first dinner in Montreal. The service was commendable; staff frequently checked on us and were quick with our orders. We got seated at the patio, offering a view of the streets, which was nice but not extraordinary. The highlight, however, were the drinks—they were so good that we ended up ordering more than planned. Definitely recommend trying a variety of them. The food was mixed. The pizza was somewhat disappointing; the base wasn’t very well-developed, and while the toppings were flavorful, they were a bit overwhelming. The salmon tartare, on the other hand, was enjoyable with a good flavor, and the accompanying bread nicely contrasted the texture. The warm brie, topped with honey and glazed walnuts, was a delightful sweet appetizer. Overall, Zibo is worth checking out if you’re in Montreal and looking for a pleasant, quiet dinner with some fantastic drinks.

I used to look past this place because it was a chain, but after a few horrible experiences at Mano Cornuto I decided to give it a try. Now Im a regular! The service is excellent, everyone on staff is warm and pleasant with no exceptions. The food is solid and consistent. You rarely need reservations. The bar side can get a little rowdy during games so I prefer getting a booth on the other side, which is quieter. I would recommend staying away from the pizza though, they should revisit the way they make it.

I had an amazing dining experience at Zibo in Griffintown, and the service was exceptional thanks to Jose. He was attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. The ambiance was lively, and the food was perfectly cooked with delicious flavors. I ll definitely be back soon! Highly recommend asking for Jose when you visit.

I dined at Zibo Griffintown today, it was up until now our go to for good food within a walking distance. While the food offered a decent experience, the service left much to be desired. Our server was only overwhelmed and inattentive when it came to our party of two. We were there for a quick bit, our order was fairly simple (two burgers) and yet we felt like the annoyance of the evening. I was not planning on leaving a review but based on his reaction to the tip (that was way too generous for the service we were given) i had to. While the food was okay; the service overshadowed the experience. Suffice to say I will not be returning.

We came here on the first evening of a week-long conference at the Alt Hotel (attached to the restaurant). We came back every evening! Andréanne and Gabriella are absolutely wonderful (I have 15 years in the hotel industry to judge) and Jessy, the manager, is on top of his game.

Without a doubt one of the best restaurants in Montreal! My companion and I are always delighted with the service, the kindness of the waitresses and waiters and their professionalism. As for the dishes, it s a real treat! We have been going back there now 5 times and passing by the pizza, pasta, burger and their famous General Tao we always have our taste buds in turmoil. The atmosphere during the week or at weekends is always very good. We 100% recommend this restaurant. A small reservation in advance is also recommended. Thanks to the whole team!

This place was a lifesaver. Very few places in Griffentown are kid-friendly. No kid s menu, staff that look annoyed if you show up with little kids, even at 5-5:30 pm when they re nearly empty. We wound up eating there twice, because the staff was warm and accommodating, they had a kids menu (and crayons!!!), and food our grandkids loved, especially Mac and cheese. Adult food was good too, with very good pizza. Wasn t a huge fan of their ravioli, but that was the only disappointment we had. Good beer (great local IPA) and desserts, though Canadians clearly don t know much about Key lime pie. Anyway, can t say enough good things about the staff and atmosphere at this place. Thank you from 2 grandparents watching their grandkids while their parents were at weekend wedding festivities. Kid-friendliness: Fabulous staff for kids.

I recently visited Zibo Restaurant and was disappointed with both the service and the food. The service was slow, and it seemed like the kitchen was understaffed or poorly managed. Every dish lacked quality control, and some basic mistakes were made, like using the wrong type of cheese on a classic Margherita pizza. Even the Cantonese noodles in the chicken teriyaki were bland, making me wish I had just opted for a microwaveable version at home. Unfortunately, this visit did not meet the standards I expected from Zibo.

Okay, so I went to this totally awesome restaurant last night, and it was like stepping into a food fairy tale! The dishes were so tasty they could make a unicorn cry tears of joy. But seriously, the real magic was the restaurant manager. He was like a superhero in a crisp uniform. Every time he walked by, it was like the room lit up with sparkles. He had this smile that could probably melt glaciers, and I think he even noticed me because he asked if I enjoyed my meal. I nearly dropped my fork! I m totally planning my next visit just to see if he ll save me from a dragon or something.

The staff is welcoming and attentive, the service is efficient. Nice and clean establishment.

Lunch. Varied menu, can suit and meet several different tastes and desires. Always great service. Super pleasant terrace in summer. Perfect for a meal alone, alone, with family or in a group. They offer a good choice on the wine list and have good cocktails. A weakness for their wood-fired pizzas...and their choice of meal salads.

I ordered takeout last night. A bacon cheddar burger with the chicken and chorizo poutine on the side instead of fries. Opened the bag when I get home to find a regular poutine with the sauce already poured on it, which it never is. Went back and told the hostess it s the wrong one. She brought my food back and I left again. Got outside and looked in the bag again to find chicken and chorizo slapped on top of the regular poutine I had got originally with no sauce on top of it. Went back for a third time and said there s no sauce. She came back and said they already put the sauce on it. I said normally it comes on the side and asked if they could remake the order cause at this point it had already been about 20-25 minutes. She said sure and brought me a new bag. The poutine was just about half the regular size it normally was and the burger was not remade and cold when I ate it. I ve been here many times and never experienced terrible service like this. I don t understand why they would offer takeout if they re going to act like they don t want to do it.

Update (2024-07-09) Had to remove a star as the happy hour special was suddenly removed without notice and the only explanation was that the manager claimed they werent making money. Sadly , this was probably the highlight of the Griffintown area so to have this exceptional happy hour special removed zibo is just another bar in the area. The remainder of my review still holds true but it would have been much better for them to adjust the pricing but removing the cocktail special effectively reduced the options to a small handful of beers and wines. Original review : Been living in Griffintown a little while now and wanted to check out Zibo as a nice local place. Im really pleased with the selection, service , attention to detail and overall experience.

An excellent experience! We spent a wonderful evening last Friday at Zibo Griffintown. To begin with, we were made very welcome when we arrived. Then we were lucky enough to have Gabriella to serve us. She was smiling and attentive. Our meal was delicious. We loved the halloumi cheese fries and the cooking of the flank steak was excellent. I highly recommend the new cocktail: the beautiful Ryan. Really very good and refreshing! Thank you to the entire Zibo Griffintown team!

Disappointing experience. We had reserved the party room for a birthday celebration several weeks before. Once seated it took 25 minutes for a server to even appear to take our drink order. They explained that they were short-staffed, but our group was an afterthought while the servers focused on the outdoor section. We were never asked if we wanted additional drinks when all were empty, we had to flag the server down to get wine with dinner. Food was fine but nothing special. Hi, thanks for the reply to my comment. I did however send a message to the email over a week ago and no one has gotten back to me. I think this says quite a lot about the service, which is why the low mark in the first place....

I have been a regular at this restaurant for some time and have always appreciated the quality of their food. However, my recent experience with them through Uber Eats was extremely disappointing. Not only are the prices higher through the delivery platform, but the quality and quantity of the food delivered was simply awful. The order I received was not at all what I expected. The dish was mediocre, the steak undercooked, and the portions were significantly smaller than what Im used to receiving when I physically go into the restaurant. It s really regrettable to see an establishment whose cuisine I appreciated so much neglect the quality of its take-out orders. I am deeply disappointed and will think twice before ordering from you again through Uber Eats.

I recently dined at Restaurant ZIBO! and wanted to share my thoughts. Overall, the experience was unpleasant. The servers were welcoming. However, the food was horrible. I ordered the SOUTHWEST SALAD and it hardly had any seasoning. And I ordered STEAK-SANDWICH unfortunately the meat was uncooked and it didn t have the caramelized onions, it tasted horrible. And to be fair the onion soup is the only delicious item I ordered.

So disappointed with the food at Griffintown location. Ive been to Zibo Vaudreuil and had an amazing experience and amazing food. So I wanted to treat my family while we were downtown Montreal and chose Zibo. Food was sub par. Noodles stuck together and lukewarm in pasta dish lacking flavour. Salmon tartar was gritty and unflavourful. Comparing to Zibo Vaudreuil it was a fail. Our waiter was good but seemed to forget about us by end of evening. All in all would not recommend this location.

Went to Zibo restaurant Friday March 8th with my wife. First time here. Nice atmosphere and food was good. Had an arrogant, cocky server named Eric. He is very dismissive, rude and walks around like he owns the place. Went back Saturday to give it another try. Unfortunately we were greeted, sat, and served by Eric again. Zero smile and we could tell he didnt want to serve us. This time he was rude right from the start, telling us we have to hurry, because there are reservations coming in an hour. When he asked what we wanted to drink, my wife said she didnt know yet. He turned and said to himself rude as he walked away. My wife and I had enough of this punk, and we walked out. Nice place, to bad we wont return because of a rude, arrogant jerk.

I liked the restaurant, the subdued atmosphere and the TV with sports, very good, the wooden walls. very who and beautiful. for the service. a man served us well, very friendly (had tattoos on his arm to thank him) However, a woman (tall with short dress... very) served us with an unpleasant attitude. saying well whos that, then put it down loudly on the table, one of the friends at the table asked for a sausage starter, and she said, NO not true and left (probably as a joke) but the way she said it wasnt as if my friends review lied... but apart from that the meal was mine and was OK, not extra ordinary, a little cold, for a mac n cheese. another friend of mine received his squid much later. I understand that there were a lot of us. and services 1 and 2. but besides that, thank you to the worker.

Great place, food was for a good price and we stayed until the the dollar per oysters at five. All in all a wonderful dinning experience. We got the Mac and cheese, the Santa Fe Beef burgers, and a lobster pasta all of which were well made and delicious.

A decent restaurant, a good menu with really hearty salads, desserts for those with a sweet tooth (the soft cookie with a scoop of ice cream is killer). Be careful for the lemon tart, its not whipped cream but a pretty good cream Very good espresso. A pleasant and fast service. Normal prices for the Griffintown district...be careful, its difficult to find a parking space.

Very good option in Griffintown. We often go for lunch and grab a salad. Very good, large portions. A bit pricey for a lunch option, but service is quick and we can get back to work on time. We ve tried to go during the evening a few times and were turned away even though there was room because they didn t have the staff to cover the entire restaurant.

This was our first time at ZIBO and it was kind of a disaster. 3 of the dishes we wanted to order werent available which is okay, however the steak I ordered was cold, and the vegetables had a hair in it. The potatos that came with the steak were scallop cheese potatos which isnt stated on the menu and Im lactose-intolerant unfortunately. My wife was pleased as she loves cheese though. The staff were super friendly, and the atmosphere was really nice. Its a huge restaurant, and the seating was very comfortable. They also gave us a free desert for the trouble which was pretty good! Im not sure if wed visit again as were not from Montreal, but Im sure our experience was just a one-off.

They were at dinner with their son - they sat outside, brought a blanket, when it started to rain, they quickly moved into the hall. The dishes were fresh and tasty. I ordered pasta with 4 cheeses - very tasty. The waiter Jesse - cheerful and energetic - added good emotions. Portions are large - we did not increase everything. Thanks to the institution

I went there for lunch with my friend on Sunday. I ordered the pan-fried salmon and it was very delicious. The salmon was soft and flavorful. The rice and veggies that came with it were good but nothing special. My friend ordered a chicken burger and her fries were perfect, thin and crunchy. I ended up eating most of them. The waitress was also very nice and helped my friend decide what to order. I will definitely eat there again.

Went to an EMPTY ZIBO today for Oysters and the restaurant was almost empty. Ordered drinks and waited for 35 mins for our appetizers that never came. 42 mins after our order, the waiter came and asked in a very condescending manner Do you know how to open oysters, it takes very long? There is a reason we go to restaurants, so that we dont have to do this at home!

Drinks are decent but food is not great, I had low expectations but it is really average, like supermarket pasta sauce and overcooked pasta. Service needs a lot of improvement. We had 3 different waiters in a period of 2 hours, the place was not busy but even then, we asked for things and they never came until we asked twice. Music was very loud so it s possible they didn t really hear us properly. I ve been to Zibo! at other locations and this one has been the worst

As soon as we arrived, the staff greeted us warmly and with a smile, immediately putting us at ease. Beyond the delicious food, the friendly atmosphere of the restaurant allowed us to have a pleasant time. The staff was attentive, providing us with food and wine recommendations. In short, despite the difficulties, the restaurant was able to transform this situation into an unforgettable experience for our group of almost 30 people. The professionalism of the staff and their dedication contributed to making our evening an exceptional one. Thank you so much !

Worst restaurant service! I went Tuesday evening because I was at the ALT hotel next door... When we came back, we immediately saw that they couldnt wait to close and that they were not happy to see other customers. We are told that the kitchen is closed at 9 a.m. ok. But we still stay for a drink... At 10am the manager I think tells us that its time to finish our drink that its quite late! Really said like that! So lets see!

We had lunch here twice in one week as we were attending an event at the next door hotel. Restaurant is bright and cheery, well laid out. Tables and chairs were pub sturdy and comfortable. The staff were great...always friendly and accommodating. The menu was not extensive but well crafted with a variety of dishes that will satisfy any large crowd. All of the dishes we had were tasty, arrived fairly quickly, and were of good lunch portion size. Washroom was modern and clean. Entrance by either street or through the hotel would be considered handicap accessible. Staff were bi-lingual, welcoming and friendly. I would certainly consider eating here again. I recommend.
