| - My partner and I were sent to Lemeac by the concierge staff at Hotel Gault, where we always enjoy staying in Old Montreal. I doubt we would have found this lovely brasserie on our own. The establishment is a bit outside of central Montreal, so, taking a taxi is essential in cold weather.
I was thoroughly impressed with Lemeac. The place had a nice vibe to it, and like most hit restaurants in Montreal, it was packed with all sorts of characters enjoying themselves. When we arrived, we were seated at their cozy dining bar, with very comfortable chairs, even though there wasn't a lot of elbow room. Oh well, the cuisine, service, wine, and ambience made up for it!
The modern Quebec cuisine is served with little fuss, in large portions. Pork rillettes were excellent, a must try; my main dish was equally delicious and satisfying. Had no room for dessert.
Service was really great, even though the two ladies behind the bar were extremely busy mixing drinks, pouring wines, making coffee, and so on. They did their best to make us feel welcomed. The wine list is impressive, with many lovely French bottles to choose from, at wonderfully affordable prices, such as Mercurey rouge, for $65 or so a bottle. Yep, order me another bottle, merci!
Can't go wrong dining here.
