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.
Tout est super bon sauf les frites. Elles sont trop cuites & dures. Ce n'était pas la première fois que j'en prenais pour accompagner mon tartare de saumon mais j'avais oublié que vos frites ne sont pas très bonnes. Dommage car tout le reste est parfait.
Nous avions un bon souper, du bon vin & de la bonne bouffe. Un excellent service par Christophe....Ces conseils de cocktails, vin etc.. un service extra. We will be back !!! Merci & au plaisir de revenir au resto. 👍🤗
Déçu du repas principale, cuisse de canard confite.
Orgue mélangé dans une crème, avec supposé foie gras que j'ai jamais goûter ! J'avais l'impression de mangé un gruau
J'ai manger Brunch assiette Boudin oeuf poché qui était excellent mais pas assez chaud, j'ai donner le commentaire au serveur qui ma dit qu'il va transmettre info à la cuisine. Je vais retourner & voius recommander à mes contacts.
C'était notre première fois & tout était bon ! Le seul bémol, c'est qu'il n'y avait qu'une entrée végétarienne & un repas végétarien. Considérant que la cuisine végétarienne est de plus en plus en demande & populaire, il serait intéressant d'avoir d'autres options.
Sinon tout était parfait
Comme toujours, on a passé un excellent moment dans ce restaurant incontournable je me suis régale avec les calamars & l'intention qui nous a été donné pour notre occasion spéciale.
Merci beaucoup

We had a reservation that had to be scheduled after normal dinner hour because it was fully booked before. We got to the restaurant & it wasn't full, cancellation do happen. We waited a long time at the reception waiting for the hostess. While waiting, noticed a bucket with a mop at the reception counter in plain sight.
A waiter at some point said somebody would be with us shortly. We waited a while longer to finally have somebody ask if we were welcome. He noticed our discontent & immediately asked if we had a good day.
Once seated, noticed the light were low, rendering half of the table lit up & the other half in darkness. Had to use flashlight on our phone to read the menu. The server had what seemed too many tables & was struggling to get it all served, making the service long & tedious. The server was very friendly throughout the night.
Food was amazing, no complaints on the quality of the food. Server tried her best but forgot our coffee order at the end & had to be reminded so we could pay & leave.
The biggest complaint I will say is multiple times over the course of the time we spent at the restaurant, a bartender kept going up on the counter of the bar to get bottles of wine from the upper set up at the bar. His shoes on the counter, tip toeing & at full arms length trying to keep balance. No ladders were used when quite frankly this was dangerous & unprofessional for this type of restaurant. People would look at the bartender every time in shock. Could not see if he actually would clean the counter afterwards but we did noticed from even the distance we were at, different cleaning product bottle in plain sight near the middle of the bar area which should be out of sight to customers.
Sad because the food was really tasty, no complaints there... but the service & atmosphere needs to be improved & perfected.
Quand une personne décide d'aller déguster du Lionel... elle ne se trompe pas. Que ce soit à Boucherville, à Laval ou Sainte Thérèse, le résultat est toujours le même. Tout est excellent. Bravo & continuez votre excellent travail. Vous êtes les meilleurs.
