Welcome to Chez Lionel, located on Lionel-Daunais Street, in the heart of Boucherville’s city center. In a friendly setting and festive atmosphere, chef Frédéric Dufort offers a menu that is both friendly and refined: Tartares, burgers made with beef from the Eastern Townships, risotto, meat and fish that you can also enjoy on our beautiful terrace.
Chez Lionel offers a lively brasserie vibe with a generally strong service and a welcoming atmosphere, and many reviews praise brunch and several standout dishes such as duck breast, beef cheek bourguignon, tartare, gravlax and escargots, along with a well regarded wine list and kid friendly options. On the other hand, feedback notes changes to the menu that removed beloved items, occasional over salted or underseasoned dishes, and uneven value for the price, with some visits feeling slow or inconsistent. Positive nights highlight impeccable hospitality, thoughtful presentation, and a memorable dining mood, while other trips describe longer waits and meals that did not meet expectations. Overall, Chez Lionel remains a well loved local destination with a diverse evolving menu and a mix of hits and misses that a diner will weigh against what they value in a night out.
Quelle charmante soirée ! le service était impeccable, serveur très avenant & aimable, la nourriture excellente, nous avons pris le turbot & la joue de boeuf & que dire des entrées ! choix de vin très intéressant. Nous recommandons sans aucune hésitation.
On y revient encore & encore...
Excellente option pour un lunch fancy mère-fille. Les plats sont savoureux & le service est attentionné. Pavé de saumon mi-cuit délicieux dans une sauce crémeuse aux épinards 😋 & un verre de vin recommandé par la serveuse, qui n'était pas sur la carte, selon la description de mes goûts.
We waited a long time for our drinks at the beginning. Then the food took forever to get there. Service was fine, but they messed up the orders more than once. Food was okay, nothing crazy. Personally, I wouldn't go back.
J'aimerais faire une critique constructive.
Nous sommes des clients réguliers depuis plusieurs années. Malheureusement la qualité & la présentation de la nourriture ne sont plus à la hauteur, la salade est molle, la quantité de frite est diminuée ça ressemble à « de la va vite!... »ce w-e mon conjoint a retrouvé un petit morceau de vaisselle cassé dans son hamburger….!!!!
Une chance que le service & le vin sont excellents!!!
Merci

Other than the tall stool/banquet, I don't like them very much, everything was perfect for a brunch with mom. She liked it too. My suggestion is if you liked normal table ask for it during you reservation or it could be a plus to offer the option in the reservation service.
They had multiple group that Saturday so it is understandable has why we had to go either at the bar or the tall stool/banquet area.
Merci à Julie qui nous a fait passer une belle soirée ! Le tartare était succulent . Bonne portion de salade pour débuter , tout était parfait ! Service exceptionnel avec Julie , merci
Service impeccable, souper délicieux, rien à redire tout etait parfait. Nous avons passé un excellent moment pour mon souper d'anniversaire. Merci beaucoup !
C'était notre première expérience pour un souper d'affaires à Boucherville, & nous avons été très impressionnés. L'atmosphère est exceptionnelle & le personnel est impeccable. On nous a laissé tout le temps nécessaire pour discuter durant notre rencontre, ce qui a été grandement apprécié.
Pour ceux qui recherchent un endroit pour un souper d'affaires avec une excellente cuisine & de très bons accompagnements à boire, c'est un choix remarquable. Ambiance chaleureuse & service de grande qualité.
Je recommande fortement à tous sur la Rive-Sud de Montréal.

C'est un bel endroit, un peu froid à mon goût. Bon service, mais globalement, c'est à mes yeux un restaurant clairement'Overrated'. J'y suis allé deux fois & j'ai eu la même impression à chaque fois, pour le prix il y a mieux.
I went here on a Tuesday or Wednesday night with my family due to a power outage on my street 2 months ago, I decided on the restaurant due to the positive reviews & we were disappointed. Maybe they use less experienced chefs on a weeknight. I got the duck breast & it was medium in the centre but it was still tough to eat & chew, & the flavour was lacking. The vegetables were hard & not tender, my children got the mac & cheese & burger kids meals. The Mac & cheese was off - my kids could not continue eating it & we agreed with them after tasting it. I think they use really aged cheddars or funky cheeses that made it less palatable to our taste buds. I think they added the aged cheeses to the burger making it less enjoyable as well. The only decent meal was my husbands he got the beef cheek bourguignon . It was the better tasting meal but something about it was still off, too many competing flavours?
