Meet the owner

Chef Pierre Lévêque, born in the French town of Luçon, Vendée (where, for the record, Cardinal Richelieu once served as bishop) helped a group of Montreal businessmen by relaunching their restaurant on Laurier Street in Outremont.

The trial run was a success and Pierre agreed to continue the venture on the condition that he buy the business and the building. Six months later, it was a done deal. The year was 1972 and the future looked promising.

Je vous ai déjà fais un mémo a propos de notre soirée du 25 décembre 2017 comme quoi nous avons été floues d une part par votre unique menu qui n était pas a jour plat paraissant mais non disponible au premier service de plus vos prix très très exagères vu la qualité ainsi que le service . Je vous averti que si vous ne donnez pas suite a notre réclamation , je me ferai un plaisir d avertir les differents poste de T"V. ainsi que poste de radio et bien la société du consommateur et autres postes

Un classique des bistros français

Chez Lévêque "fait partie des meubles" dans l'univers des bistros français montréalais. Nous l'avons ré-essayé pour un "Late dinner" récemment. Toujours égal à lui-même, ce resto plaît presque immanquablement. Les classiques y sont offerts: escargots, tartares, steak frites, canard confit, etc., mais la carte pourrait être bonifiée. Déception, le pain (insipide), mais on peut facilement s'en passer. Le choix de vin au verre était très satisfaisant.

Montreal’s top Easter brunches

Montreal’s top Easter brunches

Chez Lévêque is a classic French bistro situated on Laurier, and during Easter it’s a great place to spend time with family, especially at brunch! They normally have a chalkboard menu which includes all the French classics, and while the menu hasn’t been finalized yet, last year, their Easter brunch included delights such as foie gras, duck confit, risotto and more. They take brunch seriously!

The French cuisine of chef Pierre Leveque is bound to put a smile on your face during the 5th MTLàTABLE event. By way of starters, the $41 menu features a mixed salad, homemade black pudding, or beet millefeuille with Blue Benedictine cheese. For the second course, you’ll have to choose between the sweetbread medaglioni, the Matane shrimp risotto, and the gnocchi with Île-aux-grues cheddar. Dessert won’t be any easier, with the Oka cheese raclette, rum baba, and a chocolate sweet all fighting for your attention.
