Restaurant-Taverne Magnan is the cosy place in my neighborhood where you always go when you want comfort or tavern food! Their grill techniques and meat are among the best in town, their Coquille Saint-Jacques is amazing, the price is affordable. The rosbif is just soooo good when cooked to your tastes! They also have different food themes during the year: an Octoberfest, crab month, scallops... plus

One of the best roast beef's I've had, definitely worth paying a visit.

This is a restaurant that my father, and my uncle had been about....20-30 years ago. Wow, that is quite some time. Well about a year ago I moved into the Verdun area and every time someone would visit me they'd say "Hey, you live near Magnan's, its a great place." Finally one cool October evening I stumbled in the with my... plus

The place is mainly for old folks who want to enjoy football game on TV. Not my kind of place of course but its lively. What mattered most though was the food.

Roast Beef supreme ! I went for 6 oz one and god that was the best roast beef i had so far and yes for a foodie of my caliber that was pretty small. The rest were all average. When it comes to optional side dishes, please go for fried... plus

It was a surprise party for my friend's birthday that led me here to the "Meat Place" (even though I don't do large hunks of beef per se). I'll have to admit though, this didn't stop me as I have always been super curious about it, as "legend" had it, that back in the day, women were frowned upon at tavernes. I got back history also about how they started up with selling the most awesome roast... plus

Excellent roast beef! Other than that there isn't a whole lot to say about it. Everything else they put on the plate is quite bland. But we don't go there for potatoes and vegetables, we go there for roast beast.

As for watching sports... That's overrated.

Oh by the way, in case you didn't know, they will sell you an entire roast beef to go. Instructions and all. I've done this a couple... plus

Since at the moment I'm the Duke of this place I figured I should review it. To tell the truth the main reason I seem to eat at Magnan's so often is because I can walk there in less then 5 min from my place and I'm kind of lazy.

Magnan's is what I would call an updated tavern. Magnan's has been around for 75 year and used to be a men only establishment (not a strip club). My father brought me... plus

Magnan is considered a Montreal institution and has been around for over 75 years - I originally went there to watch a hockey game on one of their many TVs, and have friends who make it a point to catch the first game of every season there - This was the 2nd time I have gone to Magnan even though I live fairly close to it and was disapointed in my meal - I ordered the 6oz roast beef with fries... plus

Look. If you like roast beast in an informal, yet pricey atmosphere, than Magnon's brasserie is the place for you. If not, go elsewhere, I suppose. I love it, the meat is dead-to-rights awesome.

This place is a Montreal institution. I think every sports celebrities in town have been here!

It has a few different restaurants part of their complex.

Since the place was not in my neighborhood before, it took me 4 decades (and a recent move in the area) to finally have a meal there!

Sunday afternoon is not the busiest time here so only the terrace was open. A very nice, large terrace with... plus

If you're craving any kind of sports action, you can find it here on a few TVs. If there is hockey being played anywhere in the world...you can find it on about 12 TVs. It's heaven.

The beer selection is great and cheap and the the RIBS ARE INSANE. (rather than risk having someone lose a finger, just order a full slab for each person at the table).

"Sharing" is not necessarily "caring" at... plus

I've been here a few times and its always very good. Very local, regular hang out type place. Specials are pretty much meat in all forms including very good roast beef sandwiches. Lots of beer on tap, usually very full of people, very social place to go for the locals it seems. I'd suggest going if you want to try an obvious landmark of local Montreal cuisine.
