  PROS: Nice ambiance, tasty dishes, pretty plating
  CONS: Limited pre-fixe menus
  
  For the four-course Valentine pre-fixe menu, you could choose between fish or meat for each category. I chose the fish option for each course and the dishes were very fresh and delicious. Overall, I think the restaurant could do better in providing a vegetarian choice for each course as well. I didn't particularly care for the brownie dessert, so having more than one dessert to select from would have been nice too.

  Nice ambiance but quite pricey. I ordered the scallops on cauliflower puree with vegetables. The dish was very good but it cost $30 and it wasn't anything special. It also took 45 min for the waiter to take our order. It was a Tuesday evening, there were maybe 10 people in the restaurant. I'm not familiar with Boucherville but I'm sure there are more interesting restaurants.

  Really one of the greatest gastro pub I've tried in a long time!!! They had a really amazing deal on a four course tasting menu which was a totally amazing way to experience the restaurant ! There was a melting cranberry cheese Brie, followed by a smoked carpaccio beef with truffle sauce, a lamb shank with Israeli couscous and finally an almond & ganache financier for dessert.
  The master piece was really the lamb shank with Israeli couscous!!! One of the best I've ever tried in Montreal and can certainly compete with middle eastern restaurants.
  Enough with the food! The restaurant itself is a really modern brewery opened by Ian Perreault and the waitress was very friendly!!!
  It  was a 5 star experience and definitely hope to come back as there are several interesting dishes on the menu that I hope to try.

  On the south shore there's not lots of friendly hip pub where you can eat in a nice ambiance. Chez Lionel offer a nice alternative, instead of going in Montreal we can eat a nice meal nearby.
  
  Service is as excellent as food and my Fish and Frites was as good as any fish n chips i ever had in Montreal. it was a very tasty cod and the fries were just crispy enough to make them delicious, i wonder what it would give in a poutine ! Even if i taste London frish n chips i think this one compare to what's on the other side of the ocean !My girlfriend likes her salmon tartar mucho !
  
  I think as an alternative to all the hip pub were you would only have burgers and fries this pub cook really try to offer good meals like cod, iceland haddock, and food from here like aged beef from Québec and pasta too like ricotta raviolis so it's a good choice for tasty bud on the south shore !
  
  Frankly recommended !
  
  Sur la rive-sud il n y pas beaucoup de bon pub ou  on peux déguster un bon repas dans une bonne ambiance.
  
  Chez Lionel offre une bonne alternative d'éviter de traverser le pont ( et de manger un bon repas près de chez nous) pour une fois.
  
  Le service est aussi bon que la nourriture, et mon fish n frites était gouteux et délicieux avec juste assez de croquant. Les frites étaient juste assez croquntes elles aussi, et je me demande ce quMelles donneraient dans une poutine ! Le fish n frites se comparait avantageusement à celui que j'ai mangé à Londre ce qui n'et pas peu dire !
  
  Au contraire au  pubs qui n'offrent que de bons burger trop chère Chez Lionel offre de bon repas assez originaux comme la morue d'Islande, ainsi que des viandes d'ici comme le boeuf viellie du Québec  ainsi que des pates commes des raviolis aux ricotta !
  Donc beaux choix pour les papilles gustatives de la rive-sud !
  
  Franchement recommendé !

  Overpriced for what it is, drinks were not that good and all the food was swimming in sauce. The crowd felt pretentious and the service was minimalistic.
  Expect food and basic drinks for two people to be around $170 with tip. Totally not worth it.
