Chez Leveque

The service was good once we were seated. But before that we waited at the entrance for a good 5-10 minutes before someone came to greet us. Many waiters/staff saw us wait at the entrance but no one bothered to come until a waiter told us to wait a bit more like 5 minutes later and we had to wait again. We booked a table and I strongly recommend it, but if you call them directly you'll need to give your credit card but if you go on open table it isn't necessary. The food was delicious. I had the lobster bisque, lamb shank and the lemon tart. I wasn't disappointed at all! My mother got the veal liver and it was excellent. It was one of the best we had. Very delicious. However, my dad got the veal kidneys and added a side of fried (+8$). The kidneys were delicious but the fries... What a disappointment. They were oily and hard. It was as if they fried it in advance and fried it again just before serving. Which explains the greasiness. We wouldn't usually mind since it's a side but we paid an extra 8$ for that. I expect some quality and not just old fries. Also! Please look carefully at the quantities and prices for the wine. Usually the price goes for a glass or a bottle. But there they have a glass or half a bottle... Therefore when we ordered a bottle they gave us a more expensive one since they didn't sold the one we wanted as a bottle. They had the same name at that except for the "Cru" before which made it more expensive. We didn't notice until the bill came. Anyways, the food was good overall, it was the details that lessened the experience.

Honestly, I would have given this place -5 stars. They did not place my main order and a client at the next table was vaping. I mentioned it to our server and he said he knew but didn’t do anything about it. Chez Leveque was recommended by a very reputable person but I think this was the worst restaurant experience I have ever had in Montreal. The one bright spot of the evening was the bartender. She was amazing!

Best experience in a restaurant in Montreal. The staff were patient and attentive, taking the care to explain all the food and ask about dietary restrictions. We were also the last customers and ended our meal near to closing time but never felt like we were being hurried or unwelcome. The fish was very fresh and not over cooked as tends to happen frequently, and the wine the waiter recommended went perfectly with the meal. Would love to visit again and try the other things on the menu!

Great restaurant with a large selection of wine. I visited on a Friday night and was quite impressed. The food was delicious and our waiter wad attentive and took the time to explain the menu. One downside was that we waited for 10 minutes to be seated ( even though many waiter were passing by) and there was no hostess to greet us.
