Review Summary

Chez Lionel is widely recognized as a sophisticated destination that offers a consistently warm and modern atmosphere, making it a popular choice for both celebratory gatherings and professional meetings. Guests frequently highlight the high level of professionalism and attentiveness provided by the service team, whose expertise regarding menu and wine pairings enhances the overall dining experience. While the menu is praised for its creative, fresh, and flavorful French-inspired dishes, feedback on portion sizes and certain culinary consistencies varies. Although some diners have noted that the acoustics can become quite loud during peak times and have occasionally encountered issues with temperature or pacing, the majority of visitors leave with a positive impression and a strong intent to return, often citing the dedication of the management and staff as a key reason for the restaurant's appeal.

L'entrée de salade de betteraves était très bonne ainsi que la salade de gravlax de saumon en plat principal. La mousse au chocolat était incroyable. Nous avons tout aimé. Le service était très bon aussi. Étant donné que le service à été un peu long avant de recevoir notre cappuccino, nous avons eu le temps de terminer notre dessert, on nous l'a offert. Belle attention. Nous reviendrons. Merci

Our waitress was very good & the one star is for management, we did have a good time & I would have given her 5 star but when we arrived a 19h20 & walked out at nearly 22h00 cause they forgot our main courses I find it very ordinary that not gesture was made on a 273 $ bill . A meal for 2 adults & 2 young kids that were supposed to be in bed by 21h30 should have never be taking so long , yes the waitress did offer a dessert on the house but coming to 22h o'clock we surely didn't have time for one as the kids had to go to bed. Even the one glass of milk for the kid was charged . It's a shame because food was very good but I think the fact that we were very relaxed about the forgotten main courses did allow the management to think that there was no more need for a gesture as we said no to the dessert but they should have read between the lines that with kids in a young age we just wanted to go home . You definitely lost us as customers, its a shame cause we used to come often to this place before the flood & we just decided to come back after noticing you reopened but I guess you don't need returning customers. As I said a gesture would have been nice ....one glass of milk at least wouldn't have hurt you .

Très joli décor & ambiance propice à passer une agréable soirée
Très bonnes huîtres mais calmars frits un peu trop secs
Magret de canard délicieux mais tartare de boeuf peu goûteux
Bon choix de desserts, de vins & de digestifs

Nous avons un gros coup de coeur pour le Lionel Laval!!
& que dire d'Amy! C'est une hôte EXTRAORDINAIRE & elle fait briller votre équipe!
Encore hier, tout était parfait: l'apéro, le bon vin, le match du CH sur vos écrans, les entrées & les repas DÉLICIEUX, le dessert incroyable &.. les shots de Bonne Fête! ;)
Nous ne sommes jamais déçus & réitérons la gentillesse & la serviabilité du personnel, en particulier celles d'Amy, notre préférée!
Merci encore pour la belle soirée!

Two words for this place, JUST WOW!
Our first time here. Loved the ambiance, the food & the service by Juliette was totally awesome. She was super attentive, very helpful & polite. We will definitely be coming back again & again. There are not many places that give this kind of service anymore. & the cocktails & dessert were also very good. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Thank you, you made my bday celebration even better.

*Menu spécial St-Valentin*
Le menu n'était pas à la hauteur de ce que je connais de Chez Lionel. L'entrée était bien mais les repas ça ne fonctionnait pas. L'assiette de thon était beaucoup trop sucré dans son ensemble. L'assiette de boeuf braisé ne goûtait que cela, le boeuf. La sauce au vin rouge n'était qu'en fait qu'un jus de boeuf dans l'assiette. Le dessert était dans son ensemble correct mais c'était sucré aussi.
L'ambiance était très bien & le service était bon dans son ensemble sans plus.

Excellente première expérience chez Lionel (Laval). Le service était de qualité, les plats très savoureux, tout comme les desserts. Facture finale à 150$ (+70$ pour le vin), très raisonnable pour le type d'établissement.
