The service was amazing & the atmosphere was nice. However my meal experience was unfortunately very unpleasant.

I ordered the mushroom risotto. However, once they finished cooking our food (1.5 hours later), they served everyone except me. The waitress told me they had a problem with my risotto, so they made me eggplant instead. They asked if I wanted to taste it first, but as it was already finished & everyone had their food, I didn't want everyone to have to wait another hour for them to make me a different vegetarian dish. I reluctantly ate the eggplant, which was 1 eggplant cut in half stuffed with cheddar cheese & a bit of tomato sauce. No flavour & very mushy. They then proceeded to charge me the full price of the risotto. Really??

I just wish they had told me about the risotto before making a different dish, & just assuming I'd be ok with it. However I image this was the kitchen's fault, not the server's. She was very pleasant!

We ended up here because we couldn't get a reservation at Leméac & a friend told us it was just as good. Not at all! First of all the food is nowhere near the quality of Leméac, but on top of it we had the worst service ever. We were a group of 4 & very happy to see each other after a long time. The waiter was rude, & took advantage of our good mood to totally ignore us. Tables that were seated after us received their food way before us, & at some point he told us a lame story about bottleneck at the kitchen, which didn't make sense since the other tables were getting served. I ordered the bouillabaisse & it got to me lukewarm & honestly quite mediocre, I've had much better ones in restaurants without all the pretenses. Also, I ordered a 1/2 bottle of wine, & they served me 1 glass. I thought they had kept the rest of the wine cold, but actually they didn't, & when I asked for the rest they told me that I had ordered the glass. The price by the glass made the wine very expensive, compared to the 1/2 bottle. Good think is that we didn't let this sourpuss waiter spoil our evening, & we went on to have a great night despite all. I do not recommend this restaurant, go across the street, & wait if you must, it is totally worth it.

We really enjoyed our meal at Chez Leveque on our last night in Montreal. There was a lobster special, which we ordered. We also had the beef tartare & a gazpacho soup-of-the-day. We found the prices reasonable for such a high class restaurant & the service was very good. We were worried when we first arrived as it was five minutes before they really acknowledged us (aside from a wave from the bartender) but once we were seated the service was fantastic.

Un très bel endroit pour une soirée en famille. En revanche un maître d'hôtel très désagréable qui ne dit pas bonjour & qui vous ignore quand vous arrivez au restaurant. Il n'a pris aucun compte des observations que nous avions faites lors de notre réservation & est apparu débordé alors que le restaurant était loin d'être complet. Un manque de professionnalisme qui ternit l'image du savoir faire français.
Merci à Charline d'avoir rehaussé le niveau avec un service impeccable.

Un menu bistrot français avec taxe incluse & une grande variété de choix , un service attentionné & une ambiance propice à la conversation. Stationnement dans la rue pour une durée maximale de trois heures. La tarte au citron était particulièrement excellente.

Amazing that they bring out a sample of their tartare for you to taste & let them know if you wanted less spicy or more. Don't know many restaurants that do that, definitely puts them ahead.

Chez Levesque was such a lovely spot for dinner! We sat on the terrace with a group of 6 & had a really nice evening. Great service, a delicious Chablis, & so many yummy dishes to share. The endive & arugula salad with goat cheese & tomato carpaccio with Parmesan were delicious, as were the mushroom risotto & salmon tartare. We also tried the lobster bisque & lamb shank, & the best fries! 🍟

A delicious dinner, great atmosphere, & a really nice night. ❤?

Chez Lévêque has officially earned a spot on my'must return' list.

As someone who loves offal, I was thrilled to see such a serious selection on the menu. I had the calf liver for my main course, & it was cooked perfectly.. tender, flavorful, & a reminder of why French cuisine has such a great reputation for elevating ingredients that many people overlook. Next time, I'm coming back for the calf brain & veal kidneys. If they were as good as the liver, I'm in for a treat.

I've always believed that the French & the Turks are masters at turning'the unthinkable' into delicacies. Turkey is still the gold standard I've experienced for offal, but Chez Lévêque is right up there. One humble suggestion to the chef: add testicles to the offal menu! If they're prepared with the same care as everything else, I'm sure they'd be exceptional.

The rest of the table was just as impressed. The Provençal mussels were absolutely out of this world. I'd never had them prepared that way before. The sauce was so good that I shamelessly mopped up every last drop with bread. Not a spoonful went to waste.

We also shared the salmon tartare to start, & for mains we had the duck confit & the braised lamb shank. Every dish was beautifully executed, generously portioned, & fairly priced.

Authentic French cooking, outstanding execution, & a menu that still celebrates traditional dishes like offal.. Chez Lévêque is a rare gem. I'll definitely be back.
