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.
Across multiple visits to Chez Lionel, diners describe a lively, stylish French brasserie with strong execution of classic dishes and a few standout highlights like duck confit and tartare, alongside some inconsistent offerings and occasional elements that miss the mark. The menu's event options are praised for value, while regular portions and certain preparations draw mixed feelings about price and quality balance. Service is repeatedly described as attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, though experiences vary with crowds and timing. Ambiance is described as warm and upscale yet comfortable, with a Parisian vibe that many enjoy, especially for meals before or after shows and celebrations. Some guests note long waits or noise during peak times, and a few dishes are critiqued for being overly salty, oily, or underseasoned, but overall many diners leave impressed by the quality, presentation, and the lively atmosphere.
Que dire... Notre serveur a gâché notre expérience. Complètement perdu du début à la fin de son service, nous portait peu d'attention & on voyait que son attention était ailleurs (trop de tables à servir???) Ça a pris au moins 30 min afin de recevoir nos cocktails & un autre 15-20 min pour les entrées. Nourriture ok, mais pas exceptionnelle. Malheureusement, expérience négative par rapport à celle où j'avais essayé la succursale de Boucherville.
Absolute wonderful service. Flew in from the United States & were treated like royalty here. The manager & waitstaff are top notch & the food was out of this world. Would recommend to anyone in the area traveling to Canada!
Expensive lunch for Fish & ravioli badly cooked & badly seasoned. Only the tartare was acceptable- machine cut & no outstanding flavor but not too bad .
Essayez le poulet à la dyjonnaise & vous ne serez pas déçu ! Bel emplacement, personnel courtois & décor sympathique. Un bel endroit pour bien manger & discute
The food was delicious. The oyster platter with bottle of cremant was incredible. The fois gras parfait was not as good as we had hoped... the rest of the food was very good! Would definitely go back again. The waiter was very good & knew his stuff. Good recommendations! The atmosphere was good not very busy but nice for a night out.
Très mauvais service on refuse de me donner une table alors qu on ai deux
One ne va pas donner une table pour deux voilà ce que l'hôtesse a dit perte de temps & d'énergie surtout quand on a réserver d'avance. Vous devriez vraiment revoir vos hôtesse d'accueil vraiment impolie.

This restaurant looks great, but the flavors don't keep up with the aesthetics. The items are overpriced & uninspired. I ordered the blood pudding & my partner ordered the hanger steak. The pudding was just fine, & my partner's steak was pretty, but tough & mediocre in flavor. For this being one of the most expensive meals we've had here it was a disappointment.
That being said, the staff were all friendly & the ambience was well-curated.
Super service par notre serveur David! La cuisine a été super rapide malgré un grand achalandage & notre assiette était délicieuse!
Je vous recommande !

Une expérience incroyable chez Lionel ! On adorait déjà l'endroit, mais Franck a vraiment propulsé notre soirée à un autre niveau. Son expertise pour les accords mets & cocktails est tout simplement impressionnante. Tout était parfaitement équilibré & les saveurs se mariaient à merveille. Si vous voulez vivre une expérience qui sort de l'ordinaire, demandez Franck. Merci encore pour ce moment mémorable !
Notre serveur David est d'un professionnalisme 5 étoiles
Patient à l'écoute de sa clientèle
Toujours avec le sourire 🤩
Quelle fête inoubliable, il a même pris le temps de faire une photo.😉
son collègue Zac aussi très sympathique
Bel endroit, beau déco
