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.

This place juat shows u that ppl has no concept of luxury, aything hype them.
This place if it was in france wont even dream about a Michelen star. My french fries was a day old if not 2. I had a mosh in my wine the waiter removed it with 1 third of my wine glass rather than changing it! The only thing I liked about this place is the person welcoming us at the door.

Siamo a Montreal per la nostra prima volta e abbiamo avuto il piacere di cenare in questo ristorante buonissimo. I piatti erano tutti ottimi, per non parlare dei dolci…. Anche il servizio top. Lo consiglio al 100%❤?

Went for weekend brunch with a friend, & overall, it was a pleasant experience with a few highs & lows. Definitely recommend making a reservation if you're planning to come on the weekend because it gets busy.

We were welcomed warmly & seated right away. The service started a little slowly, & our food actually arrived before our drinks, which was a bit unusual. We tried the gravlax plate & the smoked salmon with poached eggs. Both were decent, but neither really stood out as something I'd be craving again.

The real star of the brunch was the French toast! Thick, fluffy, rich, & absolutely delicious. We went for the version served with ice cream, & it was honestly the highlight of the entire meal. It was so indulgent that even with two of us sharing, we couldn't finish it.

I can see why this place gets attention, & it was a nice brunch overall. The service could use a little improvement, but the atmosphere & that French toast definitely made the visit worthwhile. I'd come back with a friend to try the dinner menu, but for brunch, I'd probably explore somewhere new next time.

It was my second time visiting this restaurant. The food was good & the service was decent, but nothing really stood out. I honestly feel the place is a bit overrated. The prices were also a bit high for what we were served. The little omelette dish was almost $30 CAD, which felt pretty expensive, although it did taste good.

I'd still come back & try some other items from the menu, but so far I'm not sure what all the hype is about.

Michelin? Really? I don't like leaving bad reviews & I'm not going to get too deep into the details. My review is not about Personal preferences, it's about the quality & preparation of the food, it was not good. The bread brought out was very tough. The ravioli with mushrooms was tough, the fish soup Was very spicy & they said it wasn't spicy, lol. I specifically asked if it was spicy beforehand & it was so spicy I couldn't eat it, & I'm not sensitive to spicey food. My suggestion is not to order too much at once. The service was good & they were busy.
