We were visiting Montreal this past weekend with our two children (ages 2&4). I hadn't read many reviews about people bringing young children, so wanted to leave one about our excellent experience! All of our food was incredible & the service was amazing! The drinks & food came out very fast which made dining much more enjoyable with young children. Would definitely recommend & will come again next time we visit - you can't beat the $1 oysters! 😃
Pour notre 1ère soirée à Montréal, nous avons été ravis de notre dîner. Accueil très chaleureux & service très professionnel. Nous recommandons sans hésiter.

Had an absolutely wonderful dining experience here! The atmosphere was warm & welcoming from the moment we walked in. Our server was attentive & knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. The food was exceptional - fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned, & beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor. The portions were generous & well worth the price. The restaurant was clean & well-maintained, & despite being busy, we didn't feel rushed. The dessert was the perfect ending to our meal. We'll definitely be returning soon & would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal & excellent service. Five stars!
Souper avant un spectable au Centre Bell, souper est arrivé dernière minute (30 minutes avant le spectacle) donc on devait manger en vitesse, mais sinon service super impeccable pour un resto bien occupé (serveur & busboy toujours présent à nous demander s'il nous manquait quelquechose & il n'y a jamais manqué d'eau à la table) belle ambiance, j'ai pris steak-frite medium saignant, très belle cuisson & j'ai bien apprécié ma bavette & frites. 2 entrées: crabe fondant excellent, mais les pétoncles frits trop cuit & la panure tombait à rien. Je recommande ce resto avant un spectable au Centre Bell, juste commander bien d'avance.
Definitely recommend! Great staff, amazing oysters & delicious food overall! Been there for both corporate meetings & for leisure & it has become our go-to spot! Definitely recommend!
Excellent! rien à dire. De loin un des meilleurs restaurant que j'ai essayé. Le service était rapide & efficace. & la nourriture, Wow! la cuisson de mon steak & celle de ma copine était à la perfection, leurs accompagnement était très bon aussi! 10/10 je recommande fortement pour passer une belle soirée avec de la bonne nourriture & de la bonne ambiance.
The food is amazing & the staff are very professional & friendly. For lunch, they offer a fixed-price special menu for $29, which is great value. I highly recommend the roasted cauliflower - it's absolutely delicious. The chicken burger was super tasty & juicy, with just the right amount of spice (which I personally loved). Overall, a really enjoyable dining experience!

Food a service were fantastic. Had the pleasure of being taken care of by Julianna. Very kind, professional & efficient. Made our experience that much better. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great food & service. Thumbs up to your team!
The steak was phenomenal! A perfect medium rare & a huge serving of fries. The tartare was also delicious. Great service & quick as well. Did not have to wait long for my food. Definitely a place I highly recommend
Lucille's was fantastic! We went to the downtown location;'Lucille's Avenue des Canadiens', just across from the Centre Bell.
The food was INCREDIBLE!! We ordered 2 dozen'$1 Oyster Special' oysters. They were delicious & fresh! Sourced locally from Prince Edward Island, the oysters pair well with a Sauvignon Blanc.
My wife & I ordered the Steak Frites, medium rare. The food was cooked perfectly, the steak has an amazing herb butter on top, with a perfect crust. The fries were hot & crispy.
Giving the service a 3, we waited quite a while after being seated to actually have our order taken. We waited over 20 minutes, however, once the food was ordered, it came out very quickly.
The atmosphere was great, I would recommend making a reservation!

Food was great! Their passion fruit mojito is really good. Service was fast & server was very nice & quick to serve water. I would recommend that restaurant.
I had a fantastic experience at Lucille's Avenue des Canadiens! The atmosphere was lively, the food was delicious, & the service was top-notch. A special shout-out to Jesse, the manager, who went above & beyond to make sure everything was perfect. His professionalism & warm attitude really stood out & made the evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food & exceptional service in downtown Montreal!
Super menu midi, bon prix. La pieuvre & les chou-fleurs roti sont excellent! Notre serveuse Catherine était super gentille & nous a donné un service irréprochable. Je recommande!
I had an excellent experience . Very nice manager jesse greeted us at the door , our server Thomas was super nice . Had steak shrimp & passion fruit mojito - delicious . Highly recommend
We had a birthday lunch for a large group. We were there late so we almost had the restaurant to ourselves. There were a few mishaps with the food; service was great except for a couple of things (missed an entree, threw away some food that was for take-out) - other than that, it was great! Alex was super friendly & attentive to the group. Highly recommend!
