Review Summary

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.

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.

Excellent French restaurant in the best location. Stunning ambiance & amazing food. Our sever was kind, knowledgeable & very attentive. He knew every food item on the menu, we were very impressed with his knowledge. We had a 3 year old with us & he was very kind to her. Thank you for a beautiful & enjoyable dinner in Montreal 🙏💖

Really nice restaurant that I would like to try a second time. The vibe is quite French.

The dishes were fine, but I felt like something was missing in the confit canard. The salad was really good, though. & the service is impeccable: they are kind & quick.

It was nearly empty when we went, so it was quiet & it felt exclusive.
