111 Rue Wellington N, Sherbrooke, QC J1H 5B9, Canada
We ate dinner here last night and it was wonderful. The service was great as was the food. We had the steak frites and the fish and chips - both delicious. We sat outside which was very comfortable. The place was crowded and we were warned that service would be slow but actually the service was very good and not slow at all. The only thing to know is that it’s a BYOB if you want alcohol.
We went for a friend's birthday, our server was very friendly and helpful. Our steaks were all cooked to perfection, and the price was excellent. The place was packed when we got there at 6:30!
I had some not so great experiences in this restaurant but last night that all changed. The food and service was awesome from start to finish. There were only 2 servers (they were supposed to be 4) and the restaurant was full. The wait time was longer than usual (but obviously totally expected and accepted), that said the service was impeccable, professional and very friendly despite being short staffed. The new chef and his team were amazing. I had the salad, soup , fried calamari and beef cheeks with parsnip purée. Every bite was close to perfection, flavours, presentation , and all hot meals came out at the temperature you’d expect. I was so amazed I had to go say thank you to the chef and his team who did an amazing job. I wanted to ask the whole restaurant to toast the servers but got a bit shy (lol). My only regret is being too full to try their desserts who are all made at the restaurant. They also try to source locally when possible. Knowing all this, méchant steak is now back on the menu as one of our favorite « go to places » , merci encore!
Great food, great service! Only downside is the music genre seemed to change constantly, it was a bit confusing for the atmosphere. Will definitely come here again. Loved it ☺️
Food, atmosphere, and service--all 5 stars. We were served by the owner who was friendly (and bilingual); she informed us right away that they didn't sell alcohol (BYO only). We indulged in food instead; we tried the soup of the day, fish & chips, and steak frites, topped off with coffee and lemon meringue cheesecake... everything was phenomenal. Very tasty tartar sauce and aioli served with the fish & chips. Everything was fresh and made in house; you could tell. The restaurant was completely packed and every person in there was having a great time. Very trendy and cozy environment with rustic wood tables and modern light fixtures. Highly efficient (and clearly well-trained) staff came by frequently. I would definitely return (and bring a bottle of wine next time!). Thanks for a great meal and great dining experience.
I called for a 7:30pm reservation. The waitress on the phone asked, borderline insisted, if I could do earlier instead because they wanted to close early since no customers had made any reservations. We agreed for 7pm. As I was about to hang up, she heavily sighed as if it was such a burden. I later called to cancel as I felt the service would be bad given the service I received on the phone. I went to King Hall Alexandre instead and it was the best service I've ever had.
Positive: nice environment and steak Negative: loud funk songs, no alcohol/wine/cocktails, the waiter wanted to go home and told us to leave the restaurant at 20h40. I'm completely disappointed.
I chose to eat a signature dish and had high hopes based on this restaurant being a steakhouse.. the meat was great and the sidedish as well however the wisky sauce was extremely bitter. I tried very hard enjoying my meal but it was underwhleming. For a 45$ plate and 3$ extra for fries, one would expect more attention to details and flavor. All around a friendly place with good food. Will probably give it a second try but stick to the cheaper meals..
Pourquoi autant de pickles de carotte ds le tartare de saumon? La proportion de carotte est sûrement très économique mais encore plus exagérée. Avec le goût prononcé d orange, on ne savoure malheureusement pas du tout le saumon. Dans votre menu, vous devriez plutôt l annoncer « tartare de carotte » (et ajuster le prix du plat pour amoindrir la déception )
Best steakhouse in Sherbrooke!
The poutine was amazing
The owner and her son are really great. The food as well as the atmosphere is superb. I highly recommend it.
Dinner with friends on a Thursday evening, service from 7:30 p.m. Three tables in the restaurant (surprisingly few people for a Thursday.) Waitress repeatedly mixes up our orders (I repeat: three tables). Meat cooking off: overcooked and the same for the whole table. Small portions for the prices (yes, everything has increased, but ridiculous here)! The only decent dish was the burger, but for an establishment called Méchant Steak, we all expected better for our cuts of meat. Oh, and dishonest staff too: I forgot a personal item when leaving at closing. I called to open the next day: they didnt have it, and the housekeeping staff couldnt find it. Frankly deplorable. It was good at first, but I think theyre riding on the gas of their early popularity... its not what it once was. Not recommended.
What a good restaurant, we have been going there every week for several years and what kindness of the staff, what expertise of the chef and an extraordinary atmosphere, those who make derogatory comments do not know what they are talking about, and the employees do not have according to Im responsible for a customers oversight. But hey, go ahead, its so good, especially the beef cheek....yum
Very good to bring your wine, for starter soup of mushrooms and leeks, then salmon tartar and for the main course the picanas, nothing to say everything was succulent!!!
Everything is excellent, from the service to the food!
The best poutine in Canada!!! So sad to leave this review after the departure of the chef, Mike, who made incredible dishes. His passion and talent shone through in his creations. He always came to see us in the dining room to talk to us about the ingredients and flavors. It was a real pleasure to come and taste his dishes.
Friendly staff, meal worthy of a starred chef. This banner has everything to impress you.
Oh! Lâlâ. Amazing! Beef cheek, a pleasure for the taste buds.
Awesome service, perfect time between services, very good food, generous portions.
Mon partenaire et moi sommes venu pour notre anniversaire de couple, le service était A+, les serveuse sont super attentionnée. La nourriture est fraîche avec la plupart de les ingrédients locale. Il y avait un peut d attente mais c était comprenable et tant donner qu il y avais beaucoup de clients. Je recommande a 100%!!! Nous revenons promis
Excellent food and good service but very long to receive the main course. In the kitchen, it seemed not to supply the demand.
The busboy is hot as ldawg(Noa) and VERY good service!
Cool place
It was a great experience with the Thursday special it was very affordable thank you Dietary restrictions: We must advise if dietary restrictions before Kid-friendliness: Like all good restaurants
A beautiful menu, very tasty, with choices that are quite unique in Sherbrooke. Good service, a good menu, and no regrets... Not at all.
All the dishes were delicious! The service is personalized and really friendly both in the dining room and in the kitchens. I would definitely return and highly suggest it.
Superb service :) love the place
If you want to eat the best ribs in QC this is hands down the place The waitress Beatrice great service as well as Michael super cook and the Cheesecakes wow wow and rewow
Memorable experience!!! Thank you Michael and Béatrice for a wonderful dinner!!! Not to be missed
For a first experience it was great! It was my partners birthday, we had a great time chatting with the chef! Well be going back soon, thats for sure! Thanks again for the lovely evening
Best restaurant in town!! The fries are the best I have tasted
I was left hungry. I dont understand why you are changing a winning recipe... but like many steak houses, brasseries and good restaurants, you felt the need to renew your menu and I know that many will find what they are looking for... and, as it is a restaurant that I have always really appreciated, I will certainly give it a second chance. I sincerely hope I just had a bad day...
Very good fries!
Very good dinner with friends. The mushroom soup is one of the best I have eaten. The steak was cooked just the way I like it and came with a delicious wine sauce. The service was also great. We will go back there for sure.
Very good restaurant, nice atmosphere, the chef is very nice and comes to chat with his customers. We are going to go back and know when we come back to Sherbrooke. I ate a flank steak cooked the way I like it with a good salad with the chefs vinaigrette and homemade fries and for dessert a crème brûlée was all excellent. To the point of licking your fingers.
Dish ordered Starter: Squid Main course: Steak (bavette), fries, chef s salad Dessert: Soft chocolate caramel Perfect cooking for all dishes. Generous portion Excellent sauce with squid Extremely tender meat, homemade fries, fabulous homemade dressing for the salad. Attentive, smiling and cheerful waitress. Very nice chef, perfectly knowledgeable in the art of cooking. Dont hesitate to ask to speak to him
Come have this lunch with your family
Nice atmosphere, good service and very good food. On the other hand, it is a bit expensive and the price-quality ratio is not very good. The menu could also benefit from being a little more diverse.
Good refined meal with excellent service. To recommend
I called on a Friday for a table of two people at 8:30 p.m. They refused, telling me that it was a small evening and that everyone would have left after 8 p.m. A Friday Summer
Tried it for the first time last night, and I was really more than satisfied! Team of waiters and cooks who obviously love their work because everything was perfect! Great service. As for the excellent meal, successful cooking and asking for delicious accompaniments, nothing to say. super nice atmosphere and the price of the bill? It looked good, I ve already eaten less quality for more money! No seriously, go try it, this place charmed me
Good service ! Maude is dynamic and attentive. Excellent food; Shrimp/chorizo/polenta starter and mignon with vegetables as a main course.
The steak was excellent but due to the lack of staff the service was a bit long despite attentive servers..
Just excellent as always
Great restaurant, we ate very well, the catch of the day from the sea was very well prepared
Very good thank you
Excellent service, everything was perfect
Excellent food, good atmosphere and good service!
Absolutely delicious food and equally perfect service
A WOW, nothing less! We went there for the first time on my birthday and we went back a second time and we were pleasantly surprised by the flavors of the dishes, the beauty of them and the attention we receive from the excellent chef Michael . We had no disappointment from starter to dessert both times. Excellent service, excellent attention and a redefining menu that meets our expectations. Besides, we are going back soon and we know that we will be pleasantly surprised for the 3rd time again.
Just a must. You absolutely have to go... its just flawless. Good, excellent...no even better, close to perfection. Perfect seasoning, sublime taste, more than adorable staff. Even coming from Longueil, we will come back often because not going there would be an offense. Just thank you. I didnt think I would find such a good restaurant...everything is homemade. Honestly, I have no words, the experience was so magical. Thank you thank you thank you.
Having tried it several times I can say that the cooking of meat is mastered. The new menu is excellent!
Its not a bad steak for nothing. There you have to have the steak and nothing else on the menu. A good piece of well-cooked meat. The big downside is everything else on the menu. The hambergeois with one of the 2 meatballs pink on the edges and bleeding in the center could be a mistake. Until we asked the waitress to resolve the situation.... we received the response that everything was normal and that it was eaten like that. Moreover, its not to be picky but $36 a plate of undercooked or overcooked risotto, all depending on the person who cooks it, not to mention that you have to look to find your lobster inside, was very Dear. In conclusion, given the service and the lack of consistency in the dishes, I would not recommend the place to anyone.
Very good
Worst steak Ive eaten in a steak house. In summary: expensive, not good, wrong order (cooking and cutting steak), slow service (3 hour dinner), no parking, noisy, bad table location (directly in the corridor), dirty toilet. There were 7 of us, ordered 5 steaks, 3 were inedible. The 3 steaks were fillet mignons at $52 + tax each (already too expensive for a 5 oz in my opinion) and were as difficult to eat as a low-end grocery store steak at $3. I wasnt able to finish mine (5 oz), too hard to chew with a lot of fat. My Mean Steak was too Mean to work for me. We ordered our steaks with different cooking methods. However, the only cooking that seems to have been done is rare. We asked the waitress if it was the right cooking, she confirmed that it was. Obviously the chef and the waitress do not know their steak cooking in this steak house. I can confirm to you that they do not make a distinction between blue, bleeding, and semi-rare. Following our comments we had the chef at our table who told us that he had sliced the filet mignons the wrong way and that it was his mistake. Once we got to the bill, which took an hour after we had finished eating, everything had been charged even though there had been a mistake. We had a lot of difficulty parking even with paid parking. The place was so noisy. The restaurant is long (like a big corridor) and the sound is very present between the kitchen and the rest of the room, in short where we were placed. I advise you to go elsewhere, it was our first and last time.
Just perfect
Very nice place! Great food and great service!
We had the signature dish, Le Méchant Steak! The seasonings and tenderness were not there. Very disappointing for the price. Endless waiting time, even though we were in relaxed mode and there were only four tables. The waitress didnt know what to do when we mentioned to her that the steak was rock hard: no sound, no light, no tracking...
Excellent food and very good service
Great place, good service
Very good, excellent fries. Excellent salmon and beef tartare! Beef cheek on the mark!
My life was going very well before going to the mean steak...... I still visited thirty some countries in the world Eating exquisite products and others more mediocre.... But I really believed that my life was over...... End...... No tomorrow!!??!!!?? When suddenly I went to MECHANT STEAK!!!!!! THE SERVICE PROVIDED BY BEATRICE!!! IMPECCABLE FOOD..... WHAT MORE CAN I SAY 5 STARS first and foremost it put us back in the holiday spirit with a big wow MEAN STEAK BRAVO!!!!!!
Superb service even though there were a lot of people
Super satisfying, good service, good food...a lovely evening
Great
Wow, EXCELLENT! My partner is very picky about food and he found it delicious too!
We had excellent service. The dishes are not in excessive portions and are prepared with care. I recommend it.
Excellent service and great food! Thanks to Stephanie! If I remember correctly!
First experience, great, beef tartare starter with sublime Paella... I highly recommend!
Tartare and rib-eye steak are very good!
Great
Sarveuse bin nayce
These people are canceling the reservations of unvaccinated customers even if the government gives a deadline until September 15 without penalty or fine! We demonstrated all year long for the restaurateurs that the government prevented from opening and is this what is being done to us today? Thank you very much, now when I see that your restaurant is permanently closed, I will not cry over your fate, the people who encourage segregation, I do not encourage them!
Excellent place! The owner is extremely friendly and the staff very pleasant. The food is exquisite and the atmosphere warm. It was a superb discovery for our stay in Sherbrooke.
Good service, good food, nice atmosphere.
Great environment. Excellent service, with attentive waiters. It has good dishes to eat, but the only alcoholic drink here is wine, no beer is served. The dishes we ordered were well prepared, but pay attention to the meat.
Tasty !!! Tartars to our taste, beautiful presentation and decadent dessert. A more than friendly BYOB to which I will return!
Never had a pleasant experience at this restaurant. Even before the pandemic. The owner is rather unpleasant. Ordinary food and service....probably due to the pandemic (Lack of staff)
the services are very good, the rest very disappointing!! I ordered the most expensive of their steaks, it is barely seared and cold inside!! whereas I had asked for medium. charge 65$ for a steak seared and cooked in microwave its not strong. well it was my first experience there and there are probably other good things but... Sunday December 5, 2021
Succulent cuisine. Same quality as meat restaurants in France or even better.
Cold atmosphere but adequate food vs price
Too expensive for what you get
The whole team was warm, good service even though the restaurant was full, the soup was delicious and the main course was generous.
Good atmosphere and good food
Nice place, good quality meat and very good price to bring your wine
I loved this place!! The food was excellent!! And the very kind and courteous staff!!
Delicious from soup to dessert. We loved it. The Steak was excellent and cooked perfectly. The burger was tasty. The Boston cake was delicious.
Ordinary service. Deficient cooking: asks for medium well done, receives medium rare. Dont re-plate because of their mistake. Very condescending waitress.
Lack of enthusiasm from the waitress and probably experience, price a little high for the quantity and the plate, cooking mediocre even after.2.times!!! This restaurant was great 2 years ago... what can it do?
Very tasty meal and the staff is professional and courteous
All the table dhôte services were delicious, including the chocolate caramel dessert. Excellent service, great experience, very affordable quality quantity price.
Good service. The steak was cooked perfectly. Good value for money. I cant wait to go back
Excellent quality food, served boiling hot. Friendly staff, country modern vibe. Would come back with family and friends
Great discovery, I will come back
Good service, sublime crispy goats cheese starter salmon tartare very good however would benefit from being served cold a little too hot for my taste, table a little too close together not very small.
Excellent beef pie! Very good service
Good, very welcoming service, the dishes were good, but the atmosphere was very noisy.
So good, beautiful decor
Very good service and very good food for New Years Eve!
The salad and tartare were very good. Service too, the dessert was average though...
Our entire group was happy with the place. Good menu, good service, nice atmosphere.
Nice place excellent value for money small problem the place closes at non-specific hours so plan your trip because the timetable displayed is not always the case...
Above average food. Particularly. The scoter Correct service. Relaxed atmosphere but nothing more.
I like this spot for casual dining and lunch. I like their fish and chips as well as steak / frites. I like the western style decor and I have always had good service there. Also, very good fries.
Excellent very good restaurant
Very good and good service
The salmon tartare and the double burger are excellent!
Excellent meal and excellent service
excellent steak
Good meal and good service. Food quality is good and the staff was really nice. The restaurant is a bring your own wine restaurant. The price is right. From $25 to $45/per plate excluding table dhôte
Excellent service, excellent food and convenient location. Very good burger and delicious hot goats cheese starter.
Good welcome, nice atmosphere, good food. I had the duck and it was really good!!!
good atmosphere Friday evening
Nice restaurant, quite good meal but quite noisy and very expensive given the dishes and quantities offered
They dont know how to cook a steak ...
the.villain burger is really good
Excellent!!!
Wow what a beautiful place I loved the service and the terrace
Very good
excellent steak
It was a very quiet Tuesday evening. But very nice waitress. No pressure to quit.
The place is well located and uncluttered. Since you bring your own wine, the prices are adjusted upwards but the quality is there. The scallop starter is excellent except that there are only 2 on the plate....
Super good excellent
It s always a pleasure to come and eat at this wonderful restaurant! Our waitress Catherine offered us unparalleled service worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant! Wow! The tartars are generous and delicious...homemade fries! I recommend!
Food was good but nothing extraordinary. Ambiance is cool and service is also excellent. A little pricey for the quality of food depending on what you take
Disappointed very bad food, the Lebanese place beside is thousands time better! Fish and chips are the worst one in the world I eaten, fish was so hard I could had make noise on the table if I wanted too...
Excellent! I loved the fried squid and also my burger!! Its worth the price!
Perfect duck breast but the golden fish dish is really a disappointment. Very good atmosphere though and the service is perfect.
Beautiful restaurant, nice atmosphere, but we had a bad experience with the waiter. We felt rushed to make our choices even though the restaurant was empty.
Good food, a little noisy though. :-)
I am very disappointed with the service and the food. The salad was very small for its astronomical price. In addition, the apple puff pastry was comparable to what you would find on the shelves of a supermarket. It was hard as a rock and had little flavor. Even though my disappointment with the puff pastry was mentioned to the waitress, it was impossible for her to replace my dessert with the one of my choice. In short, a restaurant that does not focus at all on customer satisfaction.
Disappointed with the quality of the meat
Super good!
Steak and fries special on Thursday at $21 price for quality 5/5. The 6 oz was cooked to perfection for my taste. The fries were great. Im not a fan of strong gravy with steak but that doesnt change the 5/5.
The Caesar on the grill was excellent. Nice place. Warm atmosphere. Efficient service.
Wow service, excellent food, welcoming. No complaints.
Excellent food
The restaurant needs a little love on the look side, especially the benches and the paint. The meat is very good, but the rest of the plate doesnt do justice to the $40 paid. Skip the squid, theyre not good
Very disappointed. Our reservation was at 6:00pm we received our main plate at 8:30. UNACCEPTABLE. Do not recommend this place. Too pricey for the food they serve. First and last time here!
A very affordable bring your own wine. Succulent steak, friendly service
Nice food and services!!
It was great we had the steak frite and the mest was cooked to our exact request and very tender, the sauce had a unique wine taste mixed with the pepper. I call it mechant bon steak.
Good at a good price
Very good. Fast service. Interesting discounts from Sunday to Thursday.
Good service, good food
Good food, good quantity, good price, good service
Excellent food!
Appropriately
EXCELLENT beef tartare
Mean burger its the best hamburger Ive eaten in my life! A real treat.
Rather average weak
Very good restaurant with a limited but tasteful menu. For a Wednesday evening, the quality of the dishes and the service were impeccable. The BYOB option is really appreciated.
Exceptional service and the food is wow as well as the presentation of the dishes.
It was excellent, super good service and the time between table dhôte courses was perfect.
Just wow, a really beautiful restaurant with a warm atmosphere. The service was perfect and well distributed during the meal, no unnecessary waiting and what can I say about the meal, it was delicious. I highly recommend it without hesitation
We both had diarrhea for 3 hours following our meal.
Service was horrible. Ordered and took one and a half hours to have the food on the table
