When I say the brunch was exceptional & so good, believe me😍 will go back for dinner & supper. The ambiance was amazing & the place so welcoming, not saying that the service was great too. 🍽️ do yourself a favour & get poached eggs smoked salmon🤤
A fun spot to spend a Friday lunch & an early glass of wine. Experience the delight of the buzz from the restaurant & the delicious Chablis. I enjoyed the scallops & a very indulgent Caesar salad. Coffee & a térasse, I'm happy.
Fine French bistro cuisine with attentive service. Soups, lamb, fish, steak classics all done with refinement & savoury results. Been a client here for decades. Merci.

Lors de notre visite chez Leméac, sa renommée n'a pas été à la hauteur de mes attentes. Le service était lent & très très moyen. Le serveur n'a pas su décanter notre vin correctement & était très expéditif dans ses interactions. La nourriture était bonne, sans toutefois se démarquer suffisamment pour me donner envie de donner une 2e chance à ce restaurant.
Service is impeccable. Everyone is friendly & pleasant. Food was also excellent. My girlfriend is not easily convinced by French cuisine, but we were able to sway her our way. Highly recommend
We went there couple of times & last time it was for our anniversary. We love it! Both the steaks & desserts are very good. We tried beef tartare for the first time & it was really good & refreshing. Rib eye is always good & cooked to perfection. I think it's better without the sauce that comes with it. Mashed potatoes also passed the test. For dessert, we always take pain perdu & rum baba. Both are very good. Pain perdu is not heavy & is very well balanced. If you are going for more fruity & fresh dessert, go with rum baba. We tried most of the other desserts too before but these two never failed. For coffee we liked americano better than filter coffee. Again good combo for the desserts. The ambiance is good. We love the tables next to the window. The staff is friendly & fast. Compared to the other french fine dinings, we really like Lemeac & it's worth what we paid for. Thanks for the experience!!
