leméac

this restaurant is one of my favourites in montreal for so many reasons. they have a great patio, a superb late-night prix fixe (after 10pm) menu that is definitely worth your money, and the food tastes delicious as well. my husband and i came much earlier than our opentable reservation (arrived at 10pm because we had time left over when our reservation was at 10:45pm) and we asked if there was any space for us even though we were too early. the host seated us at 10pm much to our surprise and we ended up having a great night with excellent service and food. we will definitely be back especially for their late night prix fixe and their french toast dessert! it's the best!!

good deal after 10pm !. my boyfriend and i went to experiment leaméac menu after 10pm ! wow, the food was delicious and the service good. it was busy even that late because of the menu entree + meal for only 27$ ! i recommend it, i'll be back there for sure.

respit. after a long day of hunting for apartments i was walking down the sidewalk and spotted leméac. it was bustling with activity and i was frazzled. when i went in the host asked if i wanted a table and i said i was having a rough day, "sit me where you would sit."

moments later i was on a sunny patio with water and bread surrounded by a mix people as diverse as the sidewalk outside. well dresses ladies and late 20s and early 30s hipsters relaxing, eating, and drinking.

my request to the waitress was a glass of something delicious and whatever on the menu was her favorite. she brought me sancerre and i almost fell in love with her and the wine. then the house smoked salmon brought some respect to this often created and seldom perfected dish and made me incredibly happy i had wondered in.

if you're having a difficult day, leméac can put a smile on your face.

being overly ambitious, i planned dinner at lemeac for 10pm to take full advantage of their late night menu. what i didn’t anticipate was my stomach not cooperating. the combination of an early brunch, afternoon drinking and then the late dinner left my tummy a little unbalanced. sadly, this meant i wasn’t able to fully enjoy the lemeac experience, but next time i’ll be back for brunch.

for our first dinner in montreal, we went to leméac, a french bistro.  the place was gorgeous with four sections: the bar that was very busy with not only people drinking but also diners, the main dining room, the patio with its large windows and the garden.  we decided to walk to the restaurant from the hotel and it probably took us close to an hour, discovering leisurely part of the old montreal. so no wonder we arrived hungry! for sure the bread and butter were welcome! for appetizer, i ordered the escargots (snails): they were served with some pasta, with portobello mushrooms, a tomato coulis and a basil butter sauce. this was fantastic with plenty of different flavors coming from the different main ingredients. even without the snails, i would have had appreciated that dish as an appetizers. the basil butter sauce was fantastic: smooth and tasty, it brought the dish to an entire level! for the entrees, jodi ordered the hanger steak with french fries and "maitre d'hotel" butter (ca

excellent wine list. when judging variety and price. one of the best restaurants in montreal for a great atmosphere, excellent food and service and a varied and realistically priced wine list. if you know what to look out for there are some real bargains (relatively speaking). superb brunch spot on the terrace in the summer! i'm silly for not timing my agenda better to take advantage of the late evening sitting. that's about to change. highly recommended to anyone living/visiting montreal. one of the very best.

very few brunch places serve seafood on their menu apart from serving smoked salmon. here the salmon are either house smoked or cured in salt, sugar and other aromats. the first has a spectacular presentation - two perfectly poached eggs wrapped with a thick slice of smoked salmon, served on two blinis and drizzled with a caviar hollandaise sauce. light and filling, definitely worth ordering!  the second seems to be underappreciated as none of my neighbouring tables ordered the norwegian seafood plate. this dish brings back good memories of my time in copenhagen when i had smørrebrød in a boat restaurant with a marvellous view of the canal. as you can see below, you have a wide selection of toppings for open-faced sandwiches with 3 slices of buttered caraway b

valeur sûre!. j'adore ce bistro à la fois chic et sans prétention. en cinq ans de fréquentation je puis vous assurer que même si les chefs passent la qualité demeure.

arrêt obligatoire pour une fringale nocturne, que vous sortiez d'un concert classique ou d'un 5à7 entre amis, cette cuisine savoureuse vous ravira.

parfait pour une première visite, la table d'hôte (entrée, plat principal et café) à 22$ après 22h vaut le détour. croustillant de chèvre chaud, tian aux légumes, onglet et pommes frites ou aile de raie, d'excellents classiques. je recommande!

service is excellent. clean restaurant very french ambiance. food is very good overall must try the pain perdu as a desert to share because its huge. its expensive restaurant but very good food. tartars are very good (salmon and beef) fish was good too.

si quelqu'un me demande où sont les bons brunchs en ville, leméac fait partie de ma liste! l'endroit est ravissant, le service est professionnel & rapide et la nourriture est merveilleuse! j'ai pris l'assiette de blinis avec saumon fumé, oeuf poché et caviar d'esturgeon. le copain, lui, a pris l'assiette de boudin (avec une superbe purée de céleri-rave). nous avons partagé le pain avec de la confiture maison & sublime, et savouré nos boissons caféinées jusqu'à la dernière goutte! nous n'avons rien de négatif à dire sur ce restaurant. allez-y!

classic french cuisine served in a warm atmosphere. menu is surprisingly extensive with options for everyone. wine selection was very good at an excellent price point. highly recommend.

we loved this outstanding french restaurant in the lumiere region serving wonderful courses like these: mushroom ravioli with demi-glace, arugula and pine nuts; braised beef shortribs with barley stew, swiss chard and mint pesto; and grilled cornish hen with black olive and polenta fries. one of their most famous dishes (and deservedly so – don’t miss this) is their french toast with dulce de leche ice cream and maple caramel.

food:

i got a sparkling lemonade which i can't really say anything bad about, for my appetizer i ordered escargot ragout which came with some sort of pesto sauce. the escargot was mostly everything you want from escargot, buttery, soft, salty, flavourful.

next, at main course i ordered a filet mignon for $46 cad that came with king mushrooms, wine sauce, a baby onion, and some celery root puree that i wasn't a big fan of.

finally for desert i got the lemon tart which was soft, citrusy, and the meringue wasn't too crispy but it didn't fall apart either.

service: my waiter spoke mostly french but new basic english communications, didn't seem to know enough to have a full on advanced conversation. but he got the job done after trying his best. there is no coat service, so please hang up your own coats.

ambiance: probably the most, luxurious, priciest, restaurant i've ever been to. and i loved it. dimly lit, but more than enough light to see the excellent presentation of the food that comes to your table.

9/10

i have been going here for years i can't remember a faux pas from any one at this restaurant
unlikely it's just a fluke it's a mission of excellence that i believe this restaurant strives for. just for that you should go and then when you consider the value( though not cheap) you know this is one of montreal's sure bet!

has the rib-eye was juicy and well cooked. (large portion!) waiter was very professional - made great recommendations. couldn't stay for dessert.

also - very interested in those after 10pm meal specials must come back!
