About the restaurant

This charming and intimate restaurant serves a generous and creative fresh market cuisine, cheerfully prepared by chef-owners Marc De Canck and Olivier de Montigny. At La Chronique, the pleasures of the table are always front and centre. But in addition to the delights it serves up, the restaurant is also known for its extensive wine list, welcoming décor and impeccable service. Little wonder it's been considered "essential eating" in Montreal since 1995.

La Chronique gave us a night to remember! The food was absolutely incredible- the Artic Char with carrots four ways was possibly the best meal I've ever had. Our waiter, Luca, was so personable and funny. The food on it's own was an experience, but he gave us a fun, memorable night we're still talking about days later.

About the restaurant

Les Mômes offers a friendly table where French techniques combine with a love of local products and an eco-responsible logic, thought out by Chef Yoann Van Den Berg. We break the codes of classic gourmet cuisine as we have seen and reviewed it, and we appreciate the attentive service and a warm, yet festive atmosphere, worthy of a dinner party. Don't forget to bring your own wine!

I ate at Léo for breakfast on September 5th and the food was great. We ordered the salmon bagel and the avocado toast. The restaurant and decor is really nice, but what really stood out to me was the service. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. My wife and I will definitely be returning.
