Food... Good but not above average
Wine list ... Wines are very expensive versus the quality & the vintage of the wines that they offer.
Service ,.. friendly but could improve in efficiency. They assign a waiter for your table instead of all waiters serving all tables
Atmosphère... Noisy, no table cloth setting. Cutlery is of average quantity. Wine glasses are acceptable.
In general, not a value for money resto.View more

Excellent dining experience. Wonderful service. The food is wonderful & executed perfectly. We had the tartare de beouf, hareng fumé, coquilles saint-jacques & bavette de beouf. Everything cooked & seasoned perfectly. Nice wine list. Want to try their French toast dessert next time. Will be back!View more

Great restaurant in what felt like a very upscale neighborhood in Montreal. Great wine list & their food was a blend of classic French dishes with Montreal touches. Dessert was really amazing there.View more

Happily, Leméac lived to all my hopes & expectations. It's always seems to have a bustling & lively atmosphere, so make sure to make a reservation. The service is top-notch, friendly, helpful, & always at your side. The seared scallops were wonderful, & don't forget to wipe up its luscious butter sauce. But the duck with portobello dumplings was over the top delicious, with a succulent Asian style sauce that will blow your mind. Even the baguette that comes complementary with your meal, was the best I've ever had. I'm told it comes from a local German bakery on St.Laurent Blvd called Hof Kelsten. I look forward to returning with my wife to Leméac for dinner to experience the more of their menu, over a bottle of red wine.View more

July 2024 - Well, in my last review, I said we would be back. We went back for our anniversary. The food was amazing as always. We each started with an appetizer. I had the Crab Cake, & my husband had the Foie Gras. The crab cake was served with a gribiche sauce & julienne cucumber salad. I wanted more. The Duck foie gras au torchon was served with a brioche bread & a feuit chutney. The fries Gras was absolutely amazing. It was so finely done that it melted in your mouth. The main dishes consisted of a Hanger Steak served with fries & a mustard mayo. The homemade Bloody Pudding was served with finely whipped celery root & a cider sauce. Wow. Believe it or not, we were so full, I guess because of the wine, we shared a Rum baba with chantilly cream & grapefruit ice cream. The service was on point, & all the servers were attentive, courteous, & friendly. This restaurant is not cheap. But the experience & food were well worth the price. Reservations are a must. We were there on a Tuesday & the restaurant, inside & out was full. Another must. 2016 - The food was excellent. We had the grilled octopus as an appetizer. I had the onglet of beef & fries. The steak was cooked to perfection. My husband had the blood sausage. He said it was the best he ever had. The decor is nice but it is a bit noisy. Reservations are required because it is a small restaurant. Will go back.View more

The food was very good, I ordered the steak frites with wine. However, the service wasn't the best & it took quite long to get our food...View more

Great neighbourhood staple in Outremont where you will find a mix of usual patrons & those celebrating a special occasion. We had the asparagus appetizer, the Nordic shrimp guédille, the gaspacho & the lobster salad as a main. All exceptional. The wine list is solid. Had the Domaine Labet, fleur de savagnin 2020 which was lovely & reasonably priced.View more
Nicolas
Very good calamari appetizer. The Cornish Hen as a main was nice but wish I ordered something different, like one of their tartares. The Bloody Mary cocktail was not very good, but they didn't have it on the menu, so no need to expect much from it since it was a favor. The floor has a very nice set of tiles, like they belong in a very beautiful vacation home. For dessert the crème brûlée was great. You'll also have plenty of wines to pick from.View more

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.View more

Went here with my girlfriend for our anniversary. The atmosphere is a little sterile but is still very upscale. Nice drink list but an absolutely massive wine list. If you know someone who loves wine, this is the place to take them. Great service too. We split the beef tartare to start & it was delicious. She had the mushroom ravioli which was a savory delight. I had the blood pudding which wasn't mineraly or metallic tasting at all. For dessert we had the banana nut sticky toffee pudding, it was a buttery sumptuous perfect ending to the meal. It was worth every penny! They had a couple of vegetarian options on the menu as well.View more

This is a Montréal staple restaurant where you can always get good food, service & nice wine. Unfortunately it has joined the group of restaurants that now gouge their customers. They used to have a terrific selection of nice wines at fair prices but this is no longer the case. We paid way too much for the wine A bill for 4 people was $700 including tax & tip. Ridiculous & not worth it. Too bad as I won't be going back anytime soon.View more

Went there with another couple to try out the after 10 special menu they had. We had a great time (great wine). The food was very good, even though I found the portions a little small for my liking, everyone else was stuffed. Great service, great wine, great time.
