How do you pronounce LeCellier?
Please be gentle, I know this may be a dumb question. This Texas girl can get by with Spanish ok, not so much with French Canadian...How do you pronounce LeCellier? My first guess would be "le sel-ee-air" or "le sel-ee-ay" -but truly I have no idea...
Thanks Y'ALL!

This is funny.
Just for grins I googled that same question and to my surprise it came up on a random discussion board. And here is the funny part... Someone posted: It's pronounced, "THAT RESTAURANT IN CANADA"
Cracked me up.

That is the way I say it too. The CM that took my ADR kept saying " the Canadian Steakhouse". So I think she was afraid to say it too.

Restaurant
"Luh cell YAY"
or based on the food,
"Outback"

Pretty good. Coming from an officially bilingual area of Canada, English and French, we do know how to say it since it is French for The Cellar. The Le part is pretty close to luh with a soft u and not much of an h on the end.
Oh, and its two words not one. Le meaning 'the' (masculine form) and Cellier meaning 'Cellar'. Le Cellier

Luh-Cell-Yay as Goes4FastPass stated is the correct pronunciation.

While that "restaurant in Canada" is possibly the EASIEST pronunciation for all concerned, you're really close on the phonetic spelling for Americans. I would transcribe it as:
Lu* Sell-ee-a** Emphasis on the bolded syllable
*Not like "Lou" but instead like the beginning of lunge
**Like the letter "a"
Or at least that's how I'd Americanize it (without mangling it), after far too many years of French in high school, college and grad school.
Polynesian Dweller, does that pass muster?

If you are making ADR's just call it
Lay Sale Er
and laugh when you say it and go thats probably not right and the CM taking the adr's will laugh and told me how to say it. Then I just kept calling it the cellar place joking around with him about it. The guy I talked to was really friendly

thank you for this because i am always wondering this too.
in my house, since we are italian, its pronounced : leh-chell-eh
or if we are feeling too american to care, we say : leh-sell-er
i hate it when people butcher pronunciations, so thank you for clarifying this for me. now, how do you properly pronounce mitsukoshi teppanyaki?

We've been saying Le Cellier around our house for the past 15 minutes, trying to figure out how to write it out...DD is asking "Since I go to French School, can I write it?"
So, I've told her no, but we've come to a consensus...le (with a short e) cell-yay.
This should be the triva question one day at Le Cellier, or at least another at least another French activity

I wish I was as good at phonetic representation as you did for the Le portion.
However, sell-yay would be better. The i sound is said so quickly it really doesn't come off as the hard ee sound. As I say it to myself, the ee is sort of there but would be hard to pick up. Say sell-yay, its closer to the ear.
By the way, I am anglais but live in a bilingue area so je parle francais and english.
