Aujourd'hui nous avions invité 3 amis qui ont adoré leurs repas, l'ambiance & le service , heureux de découvrir la place , l'entrée & le poisson du menu était plus que parfait ainsi que les desserts. On y vient depuis de nombreuses années au moins une fois l'an , jamais déçu toujours enchanté de notre sortie & hâte de revenir. Merci à toute votre équipe
Excellent! The food was great, quantities were fair. The joue de boeuf was slightly too salty & the Cornish hen needed work to reach the level of other dishes. Great place, the scallops, escargot & French toast was phenomenal!
Fantastic everything, especially the food. Amazing traditional French cuisine. Simple, straightforward & delicious. Escargot, Beef Bourguignon & Profiteroles made for a perfect meal.
Happily, Leméac lived to all my hopes & expectations. It's always seems to have a bustling & lively atmosphere, so make sure to make a reservation. The service is top-notch, friendly, helpful, & always at your side. The seared scallops were wonderful, & don't forget to wipe up its luscious butter sauce. But the duck with portobello dumplings was over the top delicious, with a succulent Asian style sauce that will blow your mind. Even the baguette that comes complementary with your meal, was the best I've ever had. I'm told it comes from a local German bakery on St.Laurent Blvd called Hof Kelsten. I look forward to returning with my wife to Leméac for dinner to experience the more of their menu, over a bottle of red wine.
Good, service absolutely outstanding But The noise level was off-the-charts. Yes, it was busy. Yes, lots of fun & laughter all around Then a 4 people sat nearby, the volume & the sound of noise was painful. There is Zero sound absorption in the design & construction of this restaurant & it sounded like a bad rock concert. No matter how delicious & remarkable the food, the environmental disruption makes it a regrettable choice for a much awaited dinner with out of town guests.

The French do it again & keep up their crappy reputation. Pretentious & rude. We came here for a girls dinner. Not white, so we're treated rudely. Was taking h photos, was asked to stop. Food was mediocre. Service was atrocious. I'm sure not everyone is like that but what r you gonna gain from being rude to beautiful women dining in ur establishment. Nothing! Never coming again & not recommending . Mtl has a million lovely restaurants so you won't be missed
My goodness, some of the best food I've had: best crab cake, best duck (pictured), & best lemon tart. The staff was excellent - professional & friendly, attentive without being pushy. Happy to recommend, excited to return!
My all time favourite French bistro in town. As Parisienne as it can get. Classic dishes with spot on seasoning. Extremely stable consistency over the years. Professional service. Even like their fresh flowers on the counter, marble tables & the irregular flooring. Beautiful establishment.
Fantastic. This place is incredibly fantastic. Everything from the quality of the service to the quality of their dishes here is amazing. A real true gem.
