Review Summary

Leméac is repeatedly praised as a Montreal staple for classic French brasserie dining, delivering consistent food, attentive service, and a chic yet welcoming atmosphere. Reviews highlight well executed, timeless dishes such as duck confit, beef tartare, escargots, moules, and the beloved pain perdu, with many noting that the menu remains reliably high quality and the wine list generous. The setting is described as bright and lively, with large windows and a vibe that blends upscale dining with a neighborhood bistro feel; it can be busy and loud at peak times, but reservations and patience pay off. Brunch and lunch are valued for solid options and decent value, though a few dishes or experiences surface occasional setbacks like over-salted components or slower pacing. Overall, Leméac is seen as a top-tier, dependable choice for special nights, dinners with friends, or celebratory gatherings, and many consider it one of the best in Montreal.

The atmosphere was cozy but definitively noisy. We tried duck confit & mushroom ravioli, & profiterol as dessert. Fresh & natural ingredients & Pleasant flavours & textures.

Excellent service, lovely atmosphere. Everything I've tried there (after multiple visits) is incredible, except the mac n' cheese which was underwhelming & one-note. The French toast dessert is a MUST!

We had a lovely brunch with 2 perfect dishes of smoked salmon. The servers were attentive even though the place was very busy.

The place is extremely noisy. The service is okay but not great & the mussels I ordered were full of sand. My friends ordered the leg of duck & they enjoyed it.

Mise à jour 2025 : Cela fait 2 fois que nous allons au Leméac en couple & le service est épouvantable. Le serveur nous ignore, propose n'importe quel vin, est agacé par les questions, n'apporte pas le menu de desserts & c'était pas le même serveur à chaque fois. C'est bien dommage car la nourriture est excellente. Mon avis de 2022 était pour une visite en famille avec mes parents qui ont l'air d'avoir de meilleurs moyens financiers puisque le service était largement supérieur. Pour avoir dépensé plus de 300$ chaque fois, on devrait pas se faire traiter comme des clients pauvres.

2022 : Nourriture excellente & reçu rapidement entre les services. Serveuse attentive. Très belle première expérience.

Service was slow & the waiter was not very attentive. We ordered the hanger steak & scallops. Both were over salted. Food was just ok. Nothing amazing. Spent $170 for 2 entree, 2 ice teas, 1 dessert, & 2 cappuccino.

Nous avons bien régalé! Voici les entrées & plats commandés, tous les plats sont délicieux, chacun a trouvé son bonheur! Quant au dessert, heureusement on a commandé un seul à partager à 4! 😆. Je donnerais plutôt une note de 4.5/5 si le système le permettais, mais…

Je suis allé souper dimanche avec mes petits enfants ( entre 20 & 30 ans), la cuisine était bonne mais sans plus. J'étais déçu, car j'aurais pensé que pour un restaurant de cette classe où le choix de menu se situe autour de $$$$, il y aurait un meilleur raffinement dans la présentation des plats & un goût plus raffiné. Personne n'a fait WOW sur leurs assiettes.
