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!

Review Summary

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.

4 of us had a great meal. I had the farci mussels to start & the party had the boullabaise & I had the cod. Totally delicious. They have a deep wine menu, which we partook in. Great service, great food, great location. Do not pass this eatery by.

Très magnifique! A bit expensive but what one would expect for the level of quality. The salmon was cooked to perfection & my husband got an absolutely mouth watering lamb dish with a wine mushroom sauce. The escargot was amazing, highly recommend.

Our party of seven had a wonderful night out & excellent dinner at Che Levesque. Most of the party had Côté de boeuf. They reported it was fantastic, many said they thought the peppercorn sauce was one of the best they had tasted. People also liked the sides. I had the veal kidney in mustard sauce. Also excellent. Wine selection was good & we were able to select reasonably priced & nice bottles to go with the meal. Service & atmosphere were great. Will definitely go back the next time I am in Montreal.

We loved the food & wine. One can taste all the care & quality in every dish. The wine list has many choices that are worth trying: we had Haute Pistes Pinot Noir & went well with our fish & meat choices for the evening. The Baked Alaska was so delicious that for sure will come back next time.

The three of us had dinner tonight & despite the fact that the food was good, the service was horrible.
The different servings came in way too fast, I had french fried with my course, I asked for mayo, which I never received. We had ordered an expensive bottle of wine, never once, a server came over to pour other than the first glass. We never saw the original server we had, & it looks like everybody else would serve us whenever they would come by or thought about it. Two of us had finished eating while the third person was still eating, & the young server came over & cleaned up everything in front of the two of us, despite the fact that she was told that one of us was still eating. The worst service we had in a long time!
