CHEZ LÉVÈQUE, a French brasserie in Outremont for over 50 years. From noon until late evening, this authentic Parisian "brasserie" boldly and lightly frolics on the themes of the Church in a bold humor. The institution has always excelled in perfectly mastered French classics to be savored with delight, such as homemade charcuterie by our master charcutier Frederic Triquet, tartares, duck dishes, offal, as well as seafood. Oysters, shrimp, lobsters and other seafood (depending on availability) freshly delivered by our local producers are a Chez Lévêque tradition, to the great delight of our loyal customers. Whether you come to sip a martini or champagne, feast on a comforting plate of foie gras or a club sandwich, or end the evening by nibbling on tasty treats, you will feel at home in this friendly, authentic and unpretentious restaurant!
Chez Lévêque is a long-standing Montreal French bistro with a warm, intimate atmosphere and generally strong value for money. The menu centers on classic French dishes, including house-made charcuterie and terrines, seafood, moules farcies, and hearty mains such as onglet and veal, with many dishes cited as delicious and well prepared and the wine list noted as deep and well matched. Service is repeatedly praised as professional and attentive, making guests feel welcome, though a few reviews mention crowded dining rooms, lively noise levels, or moments of formal or brisk service. Several diners highlight standout items like escargots, bouillabaisse, cod, tarte tatin, and desserts, while a small number note misses such as a less favored pasta dish or an imperfect course. The restaurant is described as an institution open for years, offering lunch and prix fixe options that make refined French cooking accessible, and many visitors say they look forward to returning for familiar favorites and a reliable dining experience.
Plats variés & délicieux. Cuisine typiquement française à des prix très raisonnables. Service impeccable & professionnel , mention spéciale à'Charline' notre serveuse, nous n'avons manqué de rien, très bon restaurant!! ++
This is a restaurant that presents itself as a higher end eatery.
Nothing much on the main menu appealed, so I had the Classic Levesques Salad. It was just OK - some sort of leafy greens, as I recall, with graded cheese & shredded ham on top. I also had a decaf élonger, which was also just OK. I had higher expectations.
My lunch companions were much happier with their meals. My wife raved over her blood sausage. They ordered from the Prix Fix & had entrées.
It was crowded & noisy until the crowd thinned out
Then there was a problem with the credit card device (mostly my bad), & when I arrived home, I realized I had been charged twice. They were most apologetic, & once I gave them my credit card number, it was fixed immediately.
Bottom line, I need to go back, give them a second chance, & try a main course.
Pour ceux qui ont envie d'une cuisine française classique mais vraiment classique, sans fioritures, correcte mais pas particulièrement raffinée. Le service le soir où nous y étions (groupe de 16) était sympathique mais il y avait des erreurs : confusion dans les plats, service par dessus le convive en face. Le rapport qualité prix n'y était pas. Il y a tellement de restaurants dans cette gamme de prix offrant une cuisine bien plus inventive. Je suis partie un peu triste.

Chez Leveque, depuis plusieurs années je voulais l'essayer quelle déception totale, dîner de pâque, menu de pâque obligatoire pas accès à la carte régulière, menu à $85,00 oui $85,00 par personnes comprend, Potage, choix d'entrée, plat principale & dessert, plus apéro & vin, nous étions 5 convives, notre avis menu de cantine que je pourrais avoir pour $35,00 n'importes ou, impression attrape touristes il y as beaucoup mieux à Montréal à prix imbattable & supérieur en présentation des plats & pour le même prix nous aurions dû allez au brunch du Reine Elisabeth
My husband & I had a fabulous Valentines Day prix fixe dinner here. The courses started with a roasted tomato, carrot, parsnip soup - so good. The next plate was a pate with onion jam & brioche - sweet & savory. For the main dish, I had the duck & my husband had the cassoulet. Both were excellent. & for dessert, profiteroles with chocolate sauce & almonds. Everything was delicious, the ambience was lovely, & I would come back here in a heartbeat.
Nous sommes venus tester la table d'hôte lors de l'événement Montréal à table Nous avons eu un 5 services pour 83$/p Tout était délicieux , les plats proposés étaient élaborés & savoureux, tout était très bien assaisonné Le service était impeccable Peut être un peu petit cher pour le rapport qualité prix mais nous reviendrons

Service impeccable. Notre serveur a su bien nous conseiller façe aux multiples combinaisons de repas qui s'offraient à nous. Ils ont aussi une très bonne sélection de bouteilles.
Franchement tout était délicieux. Les portions, la présentation, le goût, la recherche des saveurs, tout était parfait. La facture était quand même élevée mais la qualité des repas qui nous ont été offerts en valait largement le prix. Nous anticipons déjà notre prochaine visite.
