Tout était délicieux! Onctueuse vichyssoise, omelette bio aux champignons parfaitement baveuse & frites chaudes! & le fameux pain perdu partagé avec mes deux amies! Le tout accompagné d'un vin blanc italien bien frais! Service impeccable. Ce fut un plaisir de revisiter ce resto que je fréquentais quand j'habitais Outremont!View more

Came here for Sunday brunch & it was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend the Smoked Salmon Poached Eggs & the Pain Dorée. Also reserve in advance as it can get very busy.View more

Everything about this place is perfect. Been going here for 15 years + & yet the service, food & atmosphere has never declined. My new favourite (I usually stuck with tartare & mussels) is the duck with wonton. Ouffff it's delicious. Pain perdu is a classic & must have every time. For whatever reason I always need to get their goat cheese salad. Nothing crazy but hits the spot every time.View more

Their tartare de saumon is always on point. Even the breakfast with shrimp & salmon was simple but good & filling. Always will go back for the pain perdu.View more

Tout était bon. Grosse déception sur le pain perdu qui ne mentionnait pas qu'il était trempé dans la cannelle. Le mien était hyper dosé. J'ai mangé deux bouchées. Grosse déception. Je sais que beaucoup aime ça mais pour ceux qui n'aiment pas c'rst super frustrant. Je mets deux étoiles pour l'ambiance. Je suis habituée aux ambiances de brasserie mais le bruit est vraiment trop fort.View more

Had brunch there. Ordered the popular pain perdu (which I had had a year before) it was good but they changed the recipe & instead of vanilla ice cream & caramel sauce topping (like it used to be) it's now a mountain of bananas with chocolate & maple syrup. Really didn't enjoy this change as much. But the brioche bread was still very good! Underwhelming experience but still pleasant. Not sure if I would still recommend, though.View more

This Montreal gem offers an elevated brunch experience while maintaining a warm, inviting atmosphere. The space strikes a perfect balance between cozy & french traditional restaurant a place where comfort is at the forefront but the touches of elegance never feel out of place. It's the kind of restaurant where you feel at home, yet pampered, which is no easy feat. We gathered as a group of eight for brunch, & every detail, from the food to the service, was meticulously crafted. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the Norwegian platter, featuring fish so fresh it seemed to have come straight from the sea to the table. The prawns were succulent, & the accompanying vegetables & salad added a refreshing, vibrant contrast. The Egg Benedict & Pain Perdu were also standouts, each dish executed with care & attention to detail. The finesse was undeniable-every bite revealed a layer of thoughtfulness, from the presentation to the flavors. Service matched the quality of the food. The staff was attentive & accommodating, seamlessly navigating the needs of a larger group without missing a beat. Their warmth & attentiveness added to the overall experience, making it feel as though the restaurant was made for intimate moments & gatherings alike. If you're searching for an exceptional brunch spot in Montreal, this is undoubtedly a must-visit. In fact, if we weren't leaving the city today, we'd already be planning our return visit for tomorrow's brunch. It's that good-a meal worth repeating.View more

Had the salmon tartare with truffle oil & unfortunately, it lacked flavour/seasoning. Did not get ant truffle taste from it, despite people saying great things about the dish! It was also extremely hot indoors (no AC?), which made it hard to enjoy meals & drinks. It would be good to have a water bottle/pitcher placed on the table as waiters were very busy. The star of the show was the pain perdu. It was delicious.View more

This is a gem in Montreal. Classic French Bistro with a twist. Service is great, food is amazing, you can't go wrong with Lemeac. You can do business lunches, romantic dinner or birthday parties. Please enjoy a happier life after tasting the PAIN PERDU. Thank me later. PeaceView more

Restaurant François avec une bonne réputation Situé dans Mont Royal ce restaurant à réussi à me séduire. Le fois gras est vraiment bon. Une belle portion avec de la brioche J'ai pris la joue de boeuf braise qui fonds littéralement en bouche. Pour le dessert j'étais déjà plein mais je me suis essayé avec le Pain Perdu & c'était un très très bon choix. Après les 3 services je ne pouvais plus rien avaler. La taille du pain perdu est énorme J'y retournerai assurémentView more

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!!View more

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 🥰View more

Reservé pour 17 h00. Deux personnes .Table disponible pour 3h00 . Soirée du 31 12 23 ,Service plus que moyen ,le personnel semble désorganisé & dépassé .Demandons du pain à plusieurs reprises, manque des fourchettes pour le repas principal, couteau pour la viande ne coupe pas on en demande un autre ,serveur limite agressif . Repas honnête mais sans plus pour le prix .(sauf les huîtres excellentes & crabe cake superbe). Légume pour accompagner onglet très ordinaire uniquement haricots verts sans autres variétés . Avons attendu trop de temps pour les plats principaux ...Nous sommes des clients réguliers mais avons été déçus. DOMMAGE !View more

Anniversaire surprise à mon copain, nous étions 5 en terrasse le cadre est idyllique pour un dimanche midi ensoleillé ! J’ai pris le boudin c’était très bon depuis le temps que j’en voulais. Mes amis ont opté pour les œufs pochés avec lard & saucisses très bon aussi !
Super service & accueil également. Le pain perdu est IMMENSE & incroyable. Je conseille à partager. Nous reviendrons pour essayer un autre moment de la journée. Je recommande vivement la terrasse. Merci à toute l’équipe.View more

Ambiance agréable, très bonne nourriture, certains plats un peu chers pour ce qui est offert, mais en général, très bon. Nous avons goûté le canard (magret & cuisse) & avons mieux apprécié l'assiette de magret (intéressant mariage de goûts/textures), le tartare de bison était délicieux, le pain perdu également & la crème brûlée était bonne. Légèrement trop cher pour la nourriture, mais tout de même, belle découverte pour la nourriture, l'ambiance & le service!!

Excellent restaurant de style bistro français. Ma copine m'y a emmené pour mon anniversaire car sa faisait longtemps que je voulais aller dans un resto français & j'ai été servi!! Tout les plats que nous avons manger était très bon. En entrée j'ai pris une soupe de poisson & sa rouille que j'ai adorais (sa faisait très longtemps que j'en cherchais) & par la suite j'ai pris du poulet de cornouille..c'était tout simplement incroyable & remplie de saveurs & ma copine a pris une viande dons le nom m'échappe mais qui était un des meilleurs morceaux de viande que nous aillons mangé, la chaire se détacher toute seul de l'os & fonder dans la bouche avec une sauce des plus succulente! & au dessert le pain perdu est à essayer mais il est énorme, vous comprendrez si vous l'essayer ;)! Le seul hic est le service qui était un peu long mais au final sa nous a permis de prendre notre temps & profiter de nos plats & de boire tranquillement notre bouteille de vin alors dans ce cas si la lenteur du service ne sait pas fait trop ressentir.
