Went for lunch on December 23rd. The price was $42 for 3 course lunch & it was phenomenal.

For appetizers, we got the lobster bisque & beef tartare. Bisque was nice & beef tartare was a fun experience to eat. Would probably order something else for it since it was out top choice in term of taste but it was a fun experience.

Main entree was duck confit & the chicken Dijon. Both were amazing. The duck confit was tender & skin was crispy. The other ingredients in the dish was delicious. The chicken Dijon was creamy & flavourful. Highly recommend these two dishes.

Dessert was fresh & light. Not too sweet. It had raspberry, vanilla cream & sponge cake. It was the dessert of the day so others might get something different.

Service was great & they were kind & it didn't felt weird for us to eat there while wearing sweat pants. We definitely had people looking at us, might be because of what we wore.

The bread they gave as a complimentary was hard & not really fresh(it felt it was out for a bit too long) but the butter with it was good.

Chez Lionel is a French bar & restaurant located at the southeast corner of Drummond & Rene Levesque West. It is located directly across the street from the Sheraton Hotel & close to the Bell Centre.

The spacious restaurant was opened around April 2025 & occupies two floors. The manager, Nick, explained the second floor can be used for a private function for about 100 guests.

We tried some of their classic French dishes. The appetizers, escargot & foie gras, were delicious & full of rich flavour. The server also gave us slices of complementary baguette & a jar of mini pickles.

For main course, the duck breast, the Basque chicken & sole meunière did not disappoint.

The restaurant gave us a crème brûlée to help us celebrate a special anniversary occasion.

Chez Lionel is a great French restaurant serving locally sourced ingredients. We enjoyed our dinner. Highly recommend it.

Service is great! for lunch the waiter will ask about your schedule to make sure you get your food on time so that you have enough time to eat & go back to work on time. I had the chicken for lunch & it was a great portion & great flavours. Only thing that was disappointing were the truffle fries…smells great but seems like it somehow lacks flavour & truffle essence..
