Larry's comes across in reviews as a casual, hospitable spot with a warm vibe and a strong emphasis on sharing plates, from ceviche and beef tartare to veggie forward options and brunch staples, all set in a lively but not pretentious setting; the wine list is frequently highlighted as excellent and the service described as friendly and attentive by many, though a few visits note cold or slow service and portions that feel small for the price; many comments mention that gratuities are included in the prices, which some appreciate as reducing fuss while others worry about the impact on service, and a handful of patrons emphasize the high cost for modest portions; desserts like banoffee pie and a well regarded scone appear as standouts, while some dishes are praised for balance and flavor and others are seen as less remarkable; overall Larry's is regarded as a Montreal staple for brunch or lunch, a place to enjoy good food, good vibes, and solid hospitality, with crowds and pricing considerations to keep in mind.
What a fun spot! The food was all delicious, not a single complaint. Service was very friendly & organized. We overall a splendid experience! Will definitely return & refer!
Did not really get what the hype was about! I'm really grateful that the prices include the tip & the staff was absolutely adorable but for me it didn't make up for how small the portions were & the food was good but nothing out of this world or interesting enough to justify such prices. Moreover the place is made to host as many people as possible which makes it quite unpleasant to eat there with staff constantly coming behind you or brushing against you + the ungodly noise it makes ! If you're rich I guess you can go but otherwise wouldn't really recommend :) 25 dollars for a small burger with barely anything in it feels a bit crazy to me

Excellent food, served by friendly an dattentive staff. Portions are on the small side, so you can get a few different things to try out. Tips are included, which is really nice & allows you to enjoy the food & service with no fuss until you leave.
Lunch spot de choix dans mon quartier. Attention le pourboire est inclu dans le menu ne faites pas le saut, ce qui peut peut-être affecté le service pas toujours très attentionné. Très casual, sans prétention, ambiance chaleureuse.
Such a fabulous restaurant! The food is amazing, reasonably priced & seasonal. The staff is very friendly, plus they include the tip in the price. 10/10 would recommend

Delicious! Good place for a midday snack / lunch as the portions aren't big. I ordered the ceviche & the kedgeree, both were so flavourful! Dessert fell flat for me but overall nice vibe
Les portions sont minuscules. C'est très bon, ambiance cosy & personnel agréable, mais c'est c'est tout simplement trop cher. 23,dollars la minuscule assiette que voilà. C'est mignon mais un peu l'arnaque. Surtout qu'il y a plus de toast que de saucisses dedans.
Great selection on the menu: vegetables, meat, & fish - everything was good. The restaurant's atmosphere was pleasant.
However, the service was very cold; + it took more than 30 minutes for our table to be cleared, & overall our waitress seemed indifferent. It's really unfortunate that this negatively affected our experience. It won't inspire us to return. I like the idea of tip?sharing/service included on the bill, but it should not come at the expense of the service itself
We loved the squash plate! The combo of pistachios & feta cheese was lovely & the added cumin was a nice kick!! The pie was delicious too, especially with that whipped cream on top. The pasta was meh for us, nothing special. The sandwich had fluffy bread & the cheese flavor really came through, well balanced. The beef was nice & tender, but we felt the chimichurri sauce was a bit bland. We will come back to try their brunch one day.
Butttt the price tho.. for the super small portions they were overpriced.

All the servers were so friendly. The hamburger was delicious, fries were good too. I like the atmosphere, a laid back kind of feeling. Oh & the lattes were so good.
$377 for 2 people for dinner & the word is mediocre (at best). The chicken liver toast came out very burnt so they redid it. The tartare was nice; the best dish we had. Carrots with muhamarra were meh. The biggest disappointment of the night was the beef with chimichurri which came out as barely cooked & very cold slices of beef & the chimichurri was mid. We sent it back & the staff weren't bothered at all- nobody even asked why or even came back to our table until I called someone over to get the bill. Most disappointing $377 I've ever spent.

Previously gave this place a full 5-stars, because I love the food (eclectic, British cuisine) & have been coming here for almost a decade.
But the service the past handful times has been comically bad. I don't need to be pandered to, but the couple of people who've served us a few times lately should not be working in the service industry.
One server in particular, working the bar, snapped at me when I simply asked about how long the food was taking (it had been 45 minutes). When she realized she had forgotten to even put our order in, she was barely apologetic. Very disappointing!
The food was delicious. I had the chicken liver on toast. Very creamy. Squash soup was delicious. Very good service waiter explains the various dish. Artisan beer IPA was fruity. I would go again. Prices look high but they include gratuities.
I can't believe I forgot to leave a review for this place when we were there last October. Honestly, WOW! We got into Montreal late & wandered around the area & there was not a whole lot open, but we felt a vibe when we walked by & decided to try. The service was attentive & the atmosphere was moody, intimate & fresh & OMG the food!!! We started with meaty oysters & warm sourdough with the most delicious butter. We shared the burger & frites & I still dream about going back for the burger with the best Quebec cheese. The cocktails & beer selections were on point & it was a really great introduction to start off our epic honeymoon in Montreal!
