Good local spot for traditional french dishes. A little expensive for what you get but still a nice place if you live close by & want a relaxed vibe, nothing pretentious.

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.

Lemeac never fails to impress. There is a reason it remains such a Montreal institution. Three of us went for a late Saturday lunch. I had the mussels & frites, & my friends had the hen & the poached eggs with sausage. All very tasty. Service was friendly & efficient. Highly recommend.

Lemeac is one of those places that makes you wish you had a bigger stomach.

We came on a Sunday, recommended for brunch - but after looking over the lunch menu, we made the switch. No regrets.

We started with the escargot & a half portion of the mushroom ravioli. The escargot isn't served traditionally, & honestly that works in its favour. Mushrooms, pasta, & tomatoes in a basil foam - deeply flavourful & completely out of this world. The mushroom ravioli arrived in a rich demi-glace with pine nuts. Bold, indulgent, the kind of starter that already makes the meal.

For mains, the confit duck leg was cooked to perfection. Served with potatoes & salad - but it's that skin that stays with you. Cracked perfectly. The kind of detail that separates a good kitchen from a great one.

The mussels & fries were equally exceptional. A generous bowl with white wine, tomatoes, dill, & parsley. The mussels were tender - not the least bit rubbery, which is rarer than it should be. The fries held their own alongside them.

We didn't make it to dessert. We couldn't finish our mains. That's not a complaint - that's a reason to come back. & we will. Dinner next time.

A must-try in Montréal.

Bonjour,
Première expérience chez-vous & je n'ai pas été déçu ! Bien au contraire, j'ai été ravi de réaliser que j'avais encore des papilles gustatives qui pouvait me faire apprécier & découvrir des saveurs jusque là inexploitées . Pour ce qui est du Service , ' Jonathan le rouquin' mérite à lui seul une étoile Michelin ! En effet , un feu roulant d'attention & de suggestions quant aux choix de Bulles , de Vins ou encore d'agencement des plats entre convives afin que tout le monde autour de la table puisse goûter & vivre l'expérience Leméac ... Merci encore à vous... Finalement , je dois inévitablement & malheureusement retourner à la cuisine de ma Femme ...
( P.S.) Je ne signe pas... advenant que ma Femme puisse par inadvertance lire mon commentaire & que je me retrouve avec le livre de Jehanne Benoît ou celui de Janette Bertrand comme plats à cuisiner pour les prochains mois ...

La mousse au chocolat n'était pas très bonne elle n'était pas très crémeuse & paraissait même « sèche » le restaurant est tout de même très bruyant mais le service était très bien dans l'ensemble je recommande
