This was our choice for a special birthday celebration & we absolutely loved it. People are mentioning it being expensive & I don't really understand. Yes it's a nice restaurant & the food quality is higher so naturally it's more expensive but I have spent more money at the keg & needless to say the quality here was about 5 times that. That being said we went for dinner & not brunch so I cannot speak on that.

I would definitely recommend this restaurant & would gladly come back.

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.

Leméac is always my top choice whenever I want to enjoy high quality French cuisine. Their classic French toast served with maple syrup is truly outstanding & unforgettable. The restaurant atmosphere always exudes an elegant, luxurious, & wonderfully warm feeling.

Never disappoints from the quality, flavors & ambiance, for me it's always a win to go there. It transports you to Paris. Perfect spot for a brunch with the family or the girls. Fresh & light. Worth the stop!

One of the first brunch spots I've visited that claims to be of higher quality. Based on the menu & presentation, it certainly looks like a premium experience. Unfortunately, I don't think that translates to the flavor. My dish had a very confusing taste - I love complexity, but this was just overwhelming, too many competing flavors.

The dessert was better than the main course, but even though it was technically well executed, it still wasn't particularly delicious. Considering the higher price & smaller portions compared to other'lesser' spots, I'd honestly prefer going to the more modest places.

Wonderful , attentive service & delicious food. Vesper martini, squash soup, steak frites & a baba au rhum for dessert. Everything was delicious. My wife & friends had mussels with fries & they loved their food. Very knowledgeable & fully bilingual staff. The restaurant was busy but we had great service. Highly recommend. Prices reasonable for the quality.

From all the restaurants I visited in Montreal this is without a doubt the best.
Food taste is excellent, service is impeccable & atmosphere is great. The quality to price ratio is very high; you would expect unreasonable prices like other restaurants that are not that good. This restaurant deserves not only a Michelin mention, but also a Michelin star!

Leméac is a wonderful place to dine elegant, polished, & known for being very strict with their menu & dining standards, which truly shows in the quality of the food. Everything is prepared with intention, consistency, & care, making it a standout spot in Montréal's restaurant scene.

The appetizers were a great way to begin the meal. The salmon tartare, whether with classic seasoning or truffle oil, was fresh & bright. The grilled calamari was tender & full of flavor, while the crab cake had a perfectly crisp exterior & a rich, satisfying center. The panko-crusted goat cheese was a highlight warm, creamy, & beautifully balanced with the apple & walnut salad. The vegetable & grilled sausage minestrone was hearty & comforting, packing great flavor in every spoonful.

For the main courses, Leméac continues to impress. The duck leg confit was cooked to perfection tender, flavorful, & fall-off-the-bone good. The prime grilled rib eye was juicy & cooked exactly as ordered, a great choice for any steak lover. The asparagus & wild mushroom risotto was creamy, earthy, & satisfying, while the braised beef cheeks bourguignon offered deep, rich flavors that showcase true French cooking technique.

Dessert was just as memorable. The Pain Perdu was warm, soft, & indulgent, & the Crème Caramel au Café had the perfect balance of sweetness & coffee notes. The Vanilla Crème Brûlée was silky & perfectly torched, & the Pudding au Caramel was smooth & comforting, a great way to end the night.

The flavors overall were very good & surprisingly casual for such a refined setting, making the restaurant feel approachable while still luxurious. Service was excellent, quick, attentive, & professional, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Leméac is definitely a spot worth visiting if you want a well-executed meal in a classy, welcoming atmosphere. I would absolutely return.

Most delicious oysters I have ever eaten, very attentive, warm service, delicious mains. I had the braised beef cheeks, which were melty & served with the most fat, flavourful red chard & like a fancy tater tot. It was unpretentious & high quality. Oh! & my friend accidentally cancelled our reservation, but they seated us anyway. Just for that, they deserve full stars. Was a bit loud but not horribly so. Older crowd. Waiters were super-pro, classic, upscale types. Definitely impressed this hick lol.
