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.
Excellent choix de restaurant, belle ambiance, la serveuse était très bonne, mais la personne à l'accueil est venu voir mon conjoint pour lui dire que des gens attendaient notre table. Le service au table était réellement trop rapide. Un peu décevant.
Mes filles & moi avons eu une super soirée hier soir! L'ambiance & la nourriture était parfaite & notre serveuse a contribué à notre belle soirée. Merci MG pour l'excellent service.
Classic French bistro. The restaurant looks elegant & clean (not like some of the posts said). We went for a group of 12, & they have big space for large group.
Très bon plats mais un peu tièdes. Menu d'événements donc c'était occupé. Très bon service mais on sentait que le temps était compté donc peu relaxant. Belle ambiance; au 2e le son est écho donc un peu bruyant.
Great restaurant for upscale ambiance without being fussy. Close to Bell Center & a lot of activity, perfect on hockey night (they have 2 screens behind the bar, but it's not a'sports bar', it's more elegant.
Staff is very friendly but competent too. My duck magret was tasty, presentation could be improved
Good selection of wine by the glass.
Great place for a date in a lively but elegant atmosphere.
After several visits I can truly say how impressed with the operation. Every member of the staff seemed genuinely focused on delivering a great guest experience.

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!
Nous avons commandés des entrées, du vin & des cocktails. Nous avons tellement attendu que les entrées sont arrivés avant les apéro. 3 tables dans le resto. Aucun rush. Les plats par contre étaient excellent. Le service…
De la porte d'entrée à la sortie tout était super, nous avons adoré notre expérience & surtout un gros merci au gentil Monsieur qui nous a jumelé à nos amis qui avaient déjà une réservation…grandement apprécié!
