Excellente cuisine tout est à point salade César exceptionnelle, risotto aux fruits de mer portion généreuse & bien assaisonnée. Guedille au homard avec portion de homard généreuse. Prix en fonction de la qualité très raisonnable & service exceptionnel de Hans. Nous y retournerons.

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.

Great service & nice place. But the steak was hard & the gist very salad didn't taste anything.

Nous avons dépensé plus de 200$ pour 2 personnes, la bisque de homard était bonne mais était servi dans un bol non adéquat. La joue de boeuf avait plus de gras que de viande. La laitue dans la salade de chevre chaud était molle, semblait avoir été préparée longtemps d avance & finalement les ravioles de canard étaient froid & vraiment pas impressionnant. Nous étions assis au bar & nous nous sommes senties pressées de commander dès réception de notre apéro.
En résumé très décu de notre 1er expérience & sera surement la dernière.

Bonne ambiance. Bouffe ordinaire à mon goût.
La salade de betteraves était très vinaigrée (j'aime habituellement tout ce qui est vinaigré mais celle-ci l'était un peu trop).
Honnête tartare de saumon, frites correctes.

J'ai mangé une salade César ainsi qu'une seule meunière c'était bon cependant le chef avait échappé la salière dans les deux plans

Cool experience, classy setting, but very decent price.
You can definitely taste the quality of the ingredients. One of the waiter seemed a bit tired & came back to ask once or twice if he had forgotten something but I much rather someone admit their forgetting than clients waiting too long.
I love how every table is decently spaced , much space for different kinds of crowd, or gathering. I highly recommend it. As an amateur of goat salad, I have to say this is genuinely the best salad I ever had. I have tried easily over 50 goat salads in various establishments in mtl & other cities but this one had something special. All of the textures were perfect. The cook or the prep, one thing I really applaud & I have noticed is how every single item is cooked the same for example a nut will have the same texture as the other nut in your meal, your meat will have the same texture, naturally in restaurant not everything is cooked but its just a fun little aspect I have noticed that deeply moved me. Also the beets were idk they seemed organic or that they were gathering them at a local place or somewhere where the beets had time to grow at their normal beets pace, & I tasted the earth, the soil almost (It was a truly astonishing experience). I would never dare say this about anything but I think I got a glimpse of what gourmet call'la madeleine de proust' but specifically about the beets in my salad & ironically I say this about something which I do not like except in goats salad or borscht.
Cutlery was slightly'dirty' but not in an actual dirty way just not'cleaned with a cloth' but genuinely probably one of my fav southshore establishment. Also stunning little wine selection. & visible to the clients. Also the bar is quite pretty. Im curious what the setting would look like at night.
Also the appetizers are a beautiful size :) not too small or too large

*one thing that is extremely rare is that when I ordered the mussles & fries the fries were obviously best when hot but they stayed decently good in texture till the end of meal, I have quite literally nothing to say against any of the cooking techniques of every single ingredients I have tried ranging from roasted nuts to duck breast(magret).

La macreuse très beau plat, le cheeseburger la viande sans goût, sèche & l'assaisonnement était manquant. Aucun pain sans gluten pour le burger & aucune frite dans une friteuse sans gluten donc salade. Les raviolis super plat. Tartelette au chocolat a été apprécié. A chaque visite nous faisons la remarque pour plus de plats, desserts & pains burgers sans gluten & aucun changement apporté...dommage. Attendons le nouveau menu, y aura-t-il plus de sans gluten ?

Beau bistro avec un menu tres interessant. Mon mari & moi avons prit l'assiete de charcuteries & fromages, burrata & salade iceberg, le tout accompagne de champagne & vin orange. La carte de vin est excellente, surtout avec la selection des vins au verre. Je reviendrai c'est certain!
