Excellente nourriture, belle ambiance également en ce mercredi le 11 Mai au soir, ...un seul petit bémol cependant, qui a assurément pris de l'ampleur au fil de la soirée!: Un maître d'hôtel carrément dérangé, qui se plongeait le bout du museau dans tout ce qui s'appelle "corset féminin", et quand je parle de plonger, le mot est vraiment faible!..à la moindre demande d'information SVP (ou... plus
Franchement un établissement de vieux !! Le service est arrogant et les frites ont carrément le goût d'huile de poisson. Et surtout n'imaginez pas en faire la remarque, on vous prendrait de haut... À éviter à tout prix! Bref, c'est mon avis et je le partage !
un lunch pour deux ; une salade presque surgelée un plat insipide 2 verres de vin bas de gamme total ; 90 $ De qui se moque t on ? Bref, c'est mon avis et je le partage !
Nous nous sommes rendu Chez Lévèque pour profiter de leur spécial "Faim de soirée" à 21$ offert à partir de 21h00. Le spécial est annoncé sur leur site web et celui-ci nous est présenté de façon plutôt trompeuse en laissant croire que nous avons pour 21$ l'entrée, le plat principal et le dessert. Ce n'est pas le cas. Sur le menu que l'on retrouve sur place, le spécial est beaucoup mieux... plus
Toujours une valeur sure. Tartare est excellent et préparé à votre goût. Ambiance décontract sans prétention.
Fantastique! Le service était exceptionnel (nous avons été servis par Marc). Nous avions du mal a choisir, il nous a tout expliqué et conseillé judicieusement, nous étions 3, tous absolument satisfaits de nos entrées, plats (lapin, homard, tartare, tout était fabuleux!) et desserts! Beaucoup d'attentions particulières pendant la soirée. Quant à moi, les prix sont plus que raisonnable, au moins... plus
j'ai passé une semaine à Montréal, et j'ai eu la chance d'être invitée chez Lévêque, un véritable bonheur. Bravo à toute l'équipe !!!
très bonne cuisine! le chef est très beau à travers la vitre
I've dined out here on several occasions, after nine o'clock of course, and here is what I have to say:
The food was, once again, spectacular. They never disappoint. When I go to chez leveque I always pick their more exotic plates. From the plating to the flavours,
It's just perfect.
The decor has a controversial catholic religious theme which precisely matches the menus, washroom, and second...

Delicious, warm and fulfilling experience. Our waiter, Doris, was amazing. I think she participated a lot in the overall satisfaction of our evening. My guests and I stayed there for 3hrs, great time! I had the foie de volaille entrée (3,5/5), the AAA steak (4/5) and a 2009 Bordeaux (4,8/5), Service 5/5. I recommend !
My boyfriend isn't too big of a fan when it comes to French food simply because of the portion sizes for the price you pay, so it was a great thing that they had a special 9pm menu.. Nicely located in Laurier, it has a very romantic ambiance. Or maybe because we were seated by the windows and it was a rainy night.
Good : The food is excellent, from appetizers to main course. The service was...

Excellent food and service. Moderate sized portions of tasting high quality food.
Bread served with olive spread and butter, get a second portion, nice!
We had shrimp app, dinners: lobster and scallops/shrimp.
Glass of wine and sparkling water.
Dessert included with scallop dinner, an apple pie, very tasty.
With Capp coffee.
Waiter was very attentive.
Tre Bien.
The menu is French , I tried the dorade fish which is good but the salade de cresson not tasty and not fresh but as a whole everything not so bad , my friends had the tartare de saumon which is not as good either , the bisque d'homard was very salty ..the ambience is good the service was excellent .
Old crowd so don't bring a date there in your 30's food is ok i saw a tv show about a chef working there not too experimented would give a second chance though
Very full French menu.
Had tartare. V good.
Boudin maison: excellent
Service is warm and friendly.
Better to reserve.
Wine list is disappointing but nonetheless has choice.
Delicious food. Terrible service.
Its one of my favorite places with constant great service and impeccable food, however it is the 2nd time I am being served by a waitress who has not tact and class expected from a high-end restaurant.
She tries to insert herself into your conversation and make inappropriate jokes while at the same time not being able to explain the menu properly.

Super déçu.
Après avoir été référé.
Rognons et riz ayant une texture de réchauffé au micro-onde.

Service courtois
The evening was not great. I ordered a Bouillabaisse and it came with no "soup" just pieces of seafood, I called the waiter over and he agreed and went to fill it up with some broth, which came back lukewarm. A salad that was ordered but when it arrived, it was the wrong salad. We ordered coffees and the order came back wrong-three Americanos,rather than two allonges and one americano. The... plus
beautifully prepared and served: one of the best restaurants in montreal.
Super goût et présentation soigne. Le serveur était perdu et débordé. Sinon, tout était parfait. A mettre a votre liste pour une belle sortie.
Charming little place. I would definetely go back.
We got friendly service and the food is pretty good!!
Great choice for dinner, food and service are great...... plus
Four of us had dinner on Valentines weekend. The place is bustling and was packed. The secret to getting a nice table downstairs is to book an early table at 6:30PM. It's very reasonably priced for quality French bistro food, especially if you eat off their Table D'Hote menu. We were all served with a giant macaroon for dessert. What a treat!
I went with a friend during Taste Mtl so we both got the set menu. The staff was very friendly and very helpful!
First, the appetizers. We both got the tuna albacore tartare and it tasted so good! The tartare was wonderful and it went well with the cucumber salad and the other ingredients! Very light, but had a distinct taste which I absolutely loved.
For the main dishes, I got the duck and...

We went in for the after 9 p.m. special, which ended up being rather unexciting after all. I took a rather bland beef tartare. There was actually mac'n'cheese on that menu - for a surplus.
It took us about 40 minutes after our reservation's set time to be seated, but the staff seemed rather overwhelmed, so I'm guessing they had a particularly busy night. The people at the entrance were very...

Excellent repas. Service très attentionné et très gentil.
I am surprised to see so many positive comments about this place. We went there for brunch and I was extremely disappointed with the accuracy and the speed of service. I ordered the traditional Eggs Benedict and could barely finish the plate. The hollandaise sauce tasted sour! This is my favorite breakfast dish, and I order it everywhere I go, I have never ever had sour hollandaise sauce. The... plus
We live in the neighborhood and been there quite often. It used to be ok, a reliable place, not too fancy but efficient and pleasant. But now you just have to avoid it. Service is surreal. Invasive waiters trying to please beyond rationality, mingling into private conversations and filling your glasses every two seconds (clearly the objective is to boost the tap and hence their tip). Yet unable... plus
Been going there for 35 years and it's always been great. The food is very nice, relatively inexpensive for fine dining, and service is friendly. I always go back to it and feel at home.
Service is a bit like a coach experience on a good airline. Food is like a business-class level experience on a subpar airline. Music is more reminiscent of a late-night crash in some horrendous club in Laval.
All in all, the After-9pm 21$ special is a fair deal. But come in earlier and pay more, you'll feel like a douche flying to Vegas for Christmas.
Première visite et résultats mitigés . La première impression fut catastrophique . Dès notre rencontre avec l'hotesse qui nous dit ¨ ah oui .... des coupons Tuango ¨ nous nous sommes sentis dans une catégorie à part . On veut nous placer au deuxième étage .... la toute dernière table sous l'écran de T.V. même si je lui fais remarquer que j'ai beaucoup de difficulté à marcher et que je me... plus
My friend who lives in Montreal recommended this secret little gem while we were visiting in the summer. We were looking for French food but less expensive than what your generic google search would spit out. I really gotta give them 5 stars as my experience was impeccable.
The food was excellent at every point along the way. Several different kinds of locally baked breads and a wide wine...

Chez Leveque is pretty special and an oddly spiritual experience.
We ventured in here for a late, prix fixe nosh. Two of three courses for I don't remember what price. Coming here was a fantastic idea. The service is great; the host is engaging, the server is attentive and on the ball with great recommendations. Clearly, the management knows how to train and/or hire.
They have a cool, tilted...

This is a great place for a casual upscale meal. I highly recommend coming after 9pm for their late-night menu (21 dollars for two courses and 6 dollar drinks). Even if you come outside of this time, it's still wonderfully priced for the quality of food you're getting. The deserts are wonderfully tasty, rich, but not overly so, and the steak is to die for!
Excellent tartare de saumon. Make sure to pay a visit to the (very inspiring) restrooms.
My favorite restaurante in Montreal! I went there 5 years ago and after I moved to Ottawa, but everytime I have a chance to go IT'S HEAVEN ON EARTH! the food is totally worth the price, the service is extremely friendly and everything is cooked to perfection. If I had to recommend something gfor a special date it would definitely be the tarragon ice cream with the chocolate cake that has... plus
I had the 8oz rib steak. It was served up with a béarnaise sauce, steak fries and market vegetables. It was perfectly pink and tender, well rested and exactly how I ordered it. Only complaint was that they missed the rubbery connective tissue in the butchering, I remained calm as I pulled what seemed like dental floss out of my steak.
I've walked by Chez Leveque (The Bishop's in English) several times over the years but never had dinner. So when we saw a recent deal we decided it was time to try it. And are we glad that we did! The maitre d' greated us warmly. Excellent bistro menu, the lobster bisque was superb. The service was excellent and attentive and the waiters really worked as a team. All the food was properly... plus
chez leveque came highly recommended, but after reading a few reviews online i was a bit apprehensive. but after we checked the place out, i have to say i was pretty impressed!
first off, the bread was great and the busboy/waiter came by often asking if we wanted more. they had two options, regular baguette and a rye bread with nuts, both of which were great.
my friends and i went for the $21...

I've been going to Chez Lévêque for a while now for special occasion brunches such as father's or mother's day. We went today with my parents for my birthday brunch. I've never been disappointed with the food. It is delicious and well plated.
I have had the brioche which is delicious and today I had the egg benedict with smoked salmon which was superb.
The only downfall was the service. The...

Food's good but the waiters are way too laid back and even impolite at times.
One waiter is looking insistently at my girlfriend. Not that I am jealous or that I lack confidence but they shall know when to behave like they are in a bar and when to behave like they are at work. I went twice there and the same waiter was intensively checking out female customers every time.
The other waiter...

This is a wonderful place!My boyfriend and I had dinner here after opting out of reservations across the street at Lameac, which had been recommended to us by our hotel's concierge, but which was far too loud and and busy for our tastes (I expect summer is better with the patio access -- in winter, the main room is oppressively loud.)Everything about Chez Leveque was just perfect: our waiter... plus
First, their address is not correct indeed, it is WEST Laurier. But this was one of the most frustrating and unpleasant dining experience I have had in years. It took for ever to get served (we were upstair), there were 6 of us, and 2 of us had the wrong order. When asked what they could do to make for such poor service, took $6 of the bill !!VERY POOR service. and the food was so so any... plus
This place is great. They have the address wrong though; it's Laurier West (or Ouest). One weird thing is that this place is always full of people in their 70's -- I guess mature people appreciate classy food. I've eaten here about five times and it always impresses. I would write more, but I'd rather that you experience it for yourself. Do yourself a favor and get out of "centreville".
Actually I was quite impressed. The sauce on my starter was a little salty and i mentioned it to the waiter. Salt was immediately cut down on my entrée. Completely independently my partner ordered salmon tartare and a bit was sent out in a spoon for her to comment on the seasoning before plating it completely. I thought this pretty special. I will definitely return.
