Description

You don't have to cross the Atlantic to enjoy a fine Parisian-style brasserie. While the building is indeed red bricks, the typical decor complete with a counter, a lively atmosphere, and staff dressed in the traditional Parisian server attire (white shirt and black apron). The à la carte menu features the usual suspects: braised beef cheek à la Bourguignonne, house-made black pudding with cider sauce and celery root purée, grilled beef onglet with beurre maître d'hôtel and fries, rum baba, and chocolate profiteroles. At lunchtime on weekdays, the set menu is a good value; brunch—available on

Review summary

Leméac holds a strong reputation in Montreal with an average rating of 4.4/5. Food quality is a primary strength, with reviewers praising dishes like steak tartare, large rum baba, house blood sausage, and truffle mushrooms for their traditional French flavor. Service is generally described as friendly and attentive, though some guests noted slow pacing or delays in taking drink orders. Ambiance presents mixed experiences; while the setting is charming and Parisian, noise levels and close table spacing are frequent complaints that hinder conversation. Value is largely considered fair, despite isolated negative feedback regarding specific event menus. Overall, Leméac suits diners prioritizing authentic cuisine over a quiet, intimate atmosphere.
