The halibut & croque monsieur were absolutely delicious. Extra points to our French server, who gave us great food recommendations & had such a lovely personality. The restaurant was clean & easy to get to. Overall, we had a lovely dinner & will come back!

Gabriel was wonderful! Very attentive & respectful. Food was good but not excellent! Atmosphere good, however, the kids in the restaurant crying sometimes is not that pleasant when you want to have a conversation.

Chez Lionel hits high marks for ambiance & central accessibility, making it an inviting spot for drinks & dinner, even if a couple of service policies fall slightly short.
?The Highlights & Trade-offs
?Location & Atmosphere: Fantastic central setting on Boulevard René-Lévesque with a warm, energetic vibe that sets the tone for a great evening out.
?Drinks Program: The cocktail menu is creative & exceptionally well-crafted. However, the beer selection is quite niche; if you are looking for standard, widely known domestic staples (like Molson, Budweiser, or Coors), you will not find them here.
?Food & Modifications: The meals are well-prepared, but the kitchen policy on substitutions is unusually rigid. Swapping a standard side (for instance, trading potatoes for fries) is not permitted as a simple substitution-you will have to omit the side & purchase the alternative separately.
?A solid four-star experience overall, backed by great energy & fantastic mixed drinks, held back just slightly by inflexible side substitutions & a narrow beer lineup.

The place is amazing, & the food was delicious! I especially loved the fried cod with pea protein, & the house-made pickles were fantastic. The grand chandeliers added such a beautiful touch to the ambience. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. Thank you!
