Leméac café bistrot de Outremont est une fort belle brasserie française, aux prix plus qu'acceptables. Le soir, le menu compte environ 13 entrées, et une douzaine de plats principaux: le cabillaud, le thon et risotto, le pot-au-feu de saumon, le foie de veau, le carré d'agneau, la bavette, Short rib de boeuf servi avec un ragout d'orge perlé, les tartares de boeuf ou de saumon, etc... La cave de vins de Leméac compte plus de 225 entrées rouge et blanc!
Le week-end, on s'y retrouve pour le brunch en famille ou entre amis.
Les avis sur Leméac s accordent à le présenter comme un bistrot français élégant et chaleureux, où l ambiance lumineuse et la terrasse renforcent le charme du quartier; la cuisine est globalement raffinée et bien maîtrisée, avec des repères récurrents comme le confit de canard, le tartare de boeuf et les desserts emblématiques tels que le pain perdu et la creme brulee; le service est généralement professionnel et attentif, les conseils sur les vins étant appréciés et le rythme du service maîtrisé même en salle comble; la carte des vins est impressionnante et les plats traditionnels de brasserie française sont perçus comme riches et équilibrés; le cadre peut être bruyant et certains estiment les prix élevés, et quelques expériences de service mitigées existent; réservation recommandée et adresse considérée comme un incontournable offrant une expérience à la fois chic et conviviale.
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!!

My first time eating here & I loved the experience, I just found the food just ok. The service, the menu, the restaurant itself, everything is great & contributes to the dining out experience but I think I ordered the wrong thing because I found the food a bit lacking. The steak was a bit tough & the fries quite ordinary. The tartare was delicious but the julienne fries again were just ok. The creme brule was slightly too burnt so the crust was a bit too bitter for my taste. This restaurant is still excellent & I will give it another chance in the future.
Everything on the menu is amazing. Can't go wrong with this restaurant. I've been going there for years : with my husband, for business meetings or with friends. Great ambiance & delicious food!

This isn't just a restaurant, it's an institution. Leméac blew me & my husband away on our honeymoon with the quality of their food. Every dish was delicious, & we will never forget the insane French toast we got as dessert. It was to die for. We hope to return again one day!
My boyfriend & ( were celebrating our birthdays. We had the salmon tartare & eacargots to start. It was one od the best tartares I have ever had, amd that includes in France. The truffle oik & salmon flavors woth fresh minced shallots & herbs was simply magical. I could have eaten 3 more of them, I had duck confot with tender meat & perfectly crisp skin, served with a salad in a dijon mustard vinaigrette, & woth a few roasted crispy yet tender potatoes. My boyfriend had a creamy veggie rissotto, & we ahared a HUGE dessert of pain persu woth a maple syrup caramel & housemade vanilla icecream. We will be back 🥰
Came to Montreal for a visit & this was our favorite meal. Everything was delicious but honorable mentions are the mussels (have never seen such a huge bowl of mussels- extremely generous) & beef cheeks. They had a Jerusalem artichoke which I had no idea existed but it was so delicious. Their menu is seasonal. Service is great. Atmosphere is loud. Overall highly recommend.
