Effortless service made us feel like we were friends visiting. Worth noting they use a non-tip model, so everyone is already paid a fair wage & you don't need to do any math at the end of the meal (which could be a challenge after 8 services with wine pairings). Wholeheartedly recommended. Keep up the great work, Marc & co!View more
Bouffe incroyable. Dessert décadent. Service impeccable.View more
Amazing chef collaboration with Parcelles' Dominic Labelle: a fundraiser for Mission Mile End. 5 course pairing menu, with superb wines, fantastic cause, next level service, ambiance. Each dish was a next level execution, symphony of flavour & textures.View more

We sat at the counter which we often do but unfortunately, had to listen to the two servers discussing what they had to do. It took away from our experience. We enjoyed the food, found the portions a bit small & a bit expensive.
A lovely range of dishes, each one exquisitely prepared - an intimate setting, which both of us so appreciated (we didn't have to speak over loud music) - & the service was amazing. They were attentive, kind, & helpful. We'd go back in a heartbeat....View more

Another great experience at Lawrence. I had the tasting menu, my highlights were the Jerusalem artichokes confit w/lobster , a kind of sea chucrut garnie with sturgeon; skate & a whelk sausage & a lamb tartare on a bone-marrow dripped toast with Cantabrian anchovies. The chef keeps outdoing himself. The service was friendly & very professional as always.View more

Came for mtl a table & left us amazed! Rare to find restaurants in Montreal that surprise you with unique & different combination of flavors & textures. The wine suggestion went perfectly with the dishes.View more
Cosy, feutré, intime, sans prétention. Cuisine bistronomique d'une belle personnalité, goût subtile & original. Sélection de vin du Québec & d'ailleurs, ne pas avoir peur de se laisser aller, comme ce rouge Gamay pour accompagner le bar rayé cuit à la perfection. Ou ce Vouvray de chez Pinon, magnifique chenin au note de pomme. Service attentionné, agréable, professionnel.View more
Nous avons adoré les vins, l'ambiance & le service, mais les plats nous ont moins plus. Nous avons quand même passé un excellente soiréeView more
It was a bad experience during Montreal a table. The vibes are awful & the service totally unpersonal.View more
Exquisite dishes & a warm atmosphere. Tasting menu is a must try!View more
For long enough time I was trying to figure out - why do they serve mediocre food that takes an hour (literally) to arrive, & how does this resonate with a hefty price tag.
I couldn’t, so I’ve decided to write this review.
Food:
Dishes were nothing special, & were very far apart from being worth $30 minimum a piece. The only good thing on a menu was steak, which I hope was, indeed a “different kind of meat, organic” (& so on). I have still payed $50 for 100g of mediocre beef.
Dessert was terrible, & I was truly questioning how that is even served. It was a brioche, with plum sauce. Tasted like the bread you have forgotten in your drawer for a week, & now you have nothing to eat so you decide to consume it with a plum sauce, then you decide to throw out $15. It was truly mesmerising testament to this place.
Service: waiters are hanging around, we have waited 10 minutes to be asked, because the waiter was looking something up on a computer. We were literally ignored. It would be understandable if some form of answer would be given to our requests. We have still decided to continue on, as we didn’t think a lot about that instance.
After ordering, we have waited an hour for out first dish, & 40-50 minutes for two consequent ones.
Ambiance was okay-ish. Lightning was good, & the design was well done. Good job on this front, & the bar was comfortable too. However, it is hard to judge restaurant’s ambiance all whilst receiving questionable experience on other fronts.
You could literally go almost anywhere, & more probably than not - get a FAR better experience.
Overall, not recommended, one of the worst of my experiences in fine establishments. In other words - go to the local bar & you will not see a difference in quality, but you will be served in 20 minutes total, not 2 hours. Does resonate.
* p.s. not mentioning specific menu items, as the menu is changed every month (we went in august end), but essentials (like dessert/stake quality), do taste the same throughout the time, usually.View more
