We went to Brasserie Lionel because we wanted a French bistrot experience on the south shore. First, I must say it's a shame that one must go through a mall to enter the restaurant. It takes away a little of the ambiance. The restaurant itself is quite nice, with very high ceilings, & a modern decor.
We ordered oysters, which were quite small, but with oysters, it's what is available at the time. The mignonette sauce was too sweet for the oysters & the Tabasco sauce that comes with the platter was impossible to open so we gave up.
The first course, which in my case was a salade de chevre chaud, was forgettable. It was not at all what a salade de chevre chaud should be. The cheese concoction on top of the salad was much like a pancake, & not very appetizing. My partner's iceberg salad was ok at best.
The main course, which took 35-40 minutes to arrive, was absolutely delicious. Both of our mains, my chicken & my partner's joues, were outstanding.
Dessert, (profiteroles) again lacked flavour, & was forgettable.

We had the impression that there were two distinct teams preparing the meal for that evening. The entrees, appetizers & desserts seem to be prepared by one team (the not so good team to be blunt) & the mains, by a chef who knows what he/she is doing. It is not an inexpensive restaurant, so one would expect the quality of each course to be the same.

Une excellente expérience gourmande au Quartier DIX30 🦞✨

Nous avons mangé chez Chez Lionel l'été dernier & tout était délicieux. Les plats étaient savoureux, bien présentés & préparés avec des ingrédients de qualité. Les fruits de mer étaient frais & généreux, & chaque assiette donnait vraiment envie.

L'ambiance est chaleureuse & conviviale, parfaite autant pour un souper en couple qu'entre amis. Le service était attentionné & professionnel, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus agréable.

Une très belle adresse à découvrir (ou redécouvrir) au DIX30. Nous y retournerons avec plaisir!
