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.
The service was good. The food was sadly beige / without any spark. Atmosphere is ok, really serious / business. I can't recommend this restaurant, considering there is an awesome competitor just in front in the same price range, but with twice the quality & taste.
Venant au restaurant depuis plusieurs années, hier j'ai été déçu par la qualité du service & des aliments : Tartare moins savoureux que d'habitude. Deux erreurs sur les plats, plus de 15 minutes pour recevoir un verre de vin ( j'avais terminé mon repas lorsque la serveuse est venu pour le verre, le serveur dépose la crèpe suzette sans la flambée? Par chance le manager est venu rectifier ce dernier élement. Cependant, aucun gestes promotionnel n'a été offert pour compenser ces éléments. Habitué à l'excellence... on dirait que la nouvelle équipe manque de formation... Je n'y retournerai plus.
Excellente adresse de cuisine française sur Montréal. Les plats sont vraiment typiques & préparés à la française. Le service est impeccable. it is truly an address I can recommend in Montreal.
On s'y sent chez soi, Yan est un MD chaleureux amical & drôle. La cuisine est exceptionnelle & c'est constamment bien exécuté, frais & bien servi. Merci pour tout!

Service de Louis très sympathique & professionnel, à pris le temps de faire déguster deux vins puisque nous hésitions. Très belles assiettes , nous avons passé une belle soirée
20 ans, déjà 20 ans!........ Mon dernier passage chez vous, c'était il y'a déjà 20 ans. Ouais, ça ne me rajeunit pas, hihi. Mais purée, que vous avez bien vieilli (mais au fait...comment vous faites, en passant) : des plats sans faute, tant au niveau de la technique que du divin goût (rognon à la moutarde, quenelle de brochet sauce nantua & bien d'autres de nos grands classiques Français (Crêpes Suzette presque proche du "real deal", comme diraient nos amis Anglos, l'Île flottante & sa crème anglaise impeccable). Alors, cette fois, je dis...plus jamais un autre 20 ans! Mais dès demain! Car vous le méritez! Continuez votre beau boulot (ça, du beau boulot, ça ne ment jamais, comme en témoigne la salle hyper pleine que j'ai vu en ce dimanche 14 Avril 2024).

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
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.
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.

We came here the first day we arrived in Montreal, the staffs were very friendly & welcoming. The beef tartare was amazing, they let me try one scoop before serving the actual dish just to make sure I liked it, which is very caring.🥰 It was a good experience!
