Review Summary

Leméac Café Bistro is widely regarded as a staple of the Montreal dining scene, frequently praised for its consistent quality, elegant atmosphere, and classic French brasserie fare. Many diners highlight standout dishes such as the duck confit, beef tartare, escargots in basil sauce, and the signature pain perdu, often describing the cuisine as expertly executed and delicious. While the restaurant is celebrated for its professional service and warm, lively environment, some guests note that it can become quite noisy and that the experience can occasionally feel hurried or inconsistent regarding service quality depending on the visit. Despite varied opinions on pricing and volume levels, it remains a popular destination for both milestone celebrations and casual meals, with many loyal patrons considering it a reliable and essential part of the local culinary landscape.

My hanger steak was super small. I could hold it in my hands. I got too much fries. An unhealthy amount of fries. It's like they tried to compensate me with fries for that super small hanger steak.

Don't miss this while in Montreal. We had a wonderful dining experience tonight. The wines & meal & desserts did not disappoint. The experience was made all the better by the warm hospitality demonstrated by the staff, especially our server, Giaume. The menu was elevated, as you would expect from a Michelin rated restaurant, but it wasn't pretentious. The flavors were familiar, but better. The experience was so positive that we found ourselves discussing whether we wanted to cancel reservations for tomorrow's restaurant choice & return here for another round.

Nous sommes clients du restaurant depuis son ouverture & avons toujours considéré Lemeac comme un de nos restos de quartier préférés. Nous avions une réservation le 08 Juillet à 18:15 & on nous a offert une table en terrasse dans la partie Nord.
Le menu du jour suggérait des ris de veau ( ris de veau poëlés pleurotes, oseille, pois frais, soubise à l'échalote & fleur d'ail grillé $55) qui nous semblaient excellents. Lorsque nous avons demandé à notre serveuse comment étaient cuits les ris & s'ils étaient croustillant, elle nous a répondu qu'ils étaient poêlés & que la soubise était une sauce. Quand nous avons demandé à quoi était la sauce, elle nous a répondu qu'elle était à l'échalote!.
Nous avons cru qu'elle nous prenait pour des analphabètes qui ne pouvaient lire un menu!
À $55 le plat, dans un resto comme Lemeac, nous nous serions attendus à une description plus étoffée & plus aimable.
Nous avons avisé la maître d'hotel & elle nous a changé de zone & de serveuse qui était à la hauteur des plats servis.
Le restaurant à une énorme clientèle d'habitués comme nous & sa popularité pourrait rapidement décliner si son personnel n'est pas mieux sélectionné ou entraîné.
La nourriture était excellente mais l'expérience d'un repas à ce prix comporte beaucoup d'autres aspects & le service demeure très important.
Nous aurions mangé dans un'diner' & l'expérience aurait probablement été plus agréable.

My parents & I spent a week in Montréal & our favorite meal was dinner at Leméac. The service, the location, & of course, the cuisine, were all divine. I particularly enjoyed the mushroom & asparagus risotto & the famous pain perdu dessert (MUST try). I was also really impressed with the menu & its variety, almost everything was of interest.
