Notre première expérience chez Lionel fût plus que parfaite. Par un jeudi soir frais & pluvieux nous avons décidé d'aller d'essayer ce restaurant nouvellement ouvert près du Centre Bell. Quelle belle découverte ! Dès notre entrée nous avons remarqué l'ambiance très animée & décontractée de l'endroit. L'hôtesse nous a accueilli de façon chaleureuse. Nous avons été servis par 2 serveurs hors-pair , Maxime & Lili. Ils ont définitivement bonifiés notre expérience. Ils ont été à l'écoute de nos besoin tout au long du repas. De l'entré au desserts les plats étaient tous excellents. ( tartare de saumon, Raviolis à la ricotta, Sole meunière, Crème brûlée & Tartelette au chocolat) Nous y retournons assurément très bientôt !

We sat near the front windows, so further from the bar, but there was a television screen near me. Seemed odd to watch some MMA while having the fine dining. Noise level is very high & difficult to have a conversation across the table. Appeared to be a business crowd there, so maybe this is the theme? Apart from the atmosphere, the service & food were very good. Loved the free cornichons! Good wine list with lots of choices.

Belle ambiance. Bonne service mais les assiettes laisent à désirer. Le poulet à la briquaise que j'ai commandé n'était pas bonne. le poulet était cuisiné à peine. Trés salé, on peut voir même la couleur rouge crue de l'intérieur de poulet.

Fish soup is a tomato 🍅 soup. & it comes cold. A fish soup is not a tomato fish flavored soup.
Service is good
The stake has quite a lot of fat & is not good quality meat 🥩
The fish is EXTRAORDINARY

Expérience pour le lunch.
40$
Le service est impeccable! Les serveurs sont présents mais discrets. C'est le point fort.
Le lieu est vraiment beau en revanche la salle est vraiment très très bruyante. C est assez dérangeant.
Les plats sont bons. Pour moi, les assaisonnements sont un peu en dessous de la qualité.
Attention au lavage des poireaux (il reste de la terre sable). Les ravioles sont bonnes mais la pâte avait un peu séché.
Le dessert était délicieux.
J' y retournerai.
