Larrys functions as a dynamic culinary intersection where the casual atmosphere of a neighborhood café meets the technical precision of a refined bistro. The menu emphasizes seasonal ingredients prepared through straightforward techniques, resulting in plates that highlight natural textures and vibrant flavor profiles. Savory offerings include meticulously crafted burgers featuring house-ground beef and toasted brioche buns, alongside a rotating selection of small plates designed for communal sharing. The interior layout utilizes functional design elements that prioritize efficiency and direct interaction between the culinary output and the patron. This establishment maintains a focused approach to ingredient sourcing, ensuring each component reflects the current agricultural cycle. Such consistency transforms simple culinary staples into substantial meals, grounded in technical proficiency and an unwavering commitment to high-quality provisions within an unpretentious environment.
Larrys is widely regarded as a vibrant neighborhood gem in Montreal, celebrated for its cozy atmosphere, seasonal menu, and exceptional quality of ingredients. Many guests highlight the impressive variety of small, flavorful dishes—such as the burger, oysters, and desserts—as well as the well-curated wine list. A standout feature for many is the transparent pricing model, which includes gratuities directly in the menu costs, though opinions on the portion sizes and overall value remain varied. While most visitors praise the friendly and efficient service, experiences can occasionally fluctuate, with some noting that the bustling, intimate setting may feel crowded or noisy during peak hours.
A true gem of the neighborhood! Great wine list, awesome & fun menu with plenty of things to share with the table. Nduja & anchovy toast & the shrimp toast were just what the doctor ordered on a balmy summer evening. Last but certainly not least, the strawberry pavlova had the hands down best meringue I've ever been served at a restaurant; excellent crisp outside, perfect chewy center, & held up against piles of fresh strawberries & pillows of whipped cream. Service was excellent, & even though they had sold out of the bottle we were hoping for, they were able to substitute something that compared both flavor & price wise. Will definitely plan on being back here when back in MTL!
Outstanding, go before Larry's gets discovered & you have to wait 1h for a table. Very fresh ingredients & great service by Pella who took great care of us!
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!

Small place, but EVERYTHING was amazing. We had what felt like half the menu, & it was all made incredibly well. It was all fresh too. Our server was great as well!
Fabulous spot. The menu looks deceptively simple, but dont be fooled. Dishes are designed to be shared - our favourite type of meal. Each dish is beautifully crafted with fresh ingredients & careful thought to flavour combinations. We had the ceviche, beet salad & the beef with chimichurri sauce, & then the banoffee pie for dessert. We loved them all. We're still dreaming of that ceviche! In retrospect, probably would have had the rhubarb tart for dessert instead, but we enjoyed the banoffee too.
Service is excellent, just the right amount of advice, attention & casual interaction. Love the no tipping policy too! Certainly didn't impact the level of service :)
The atmosphere is casual & easy. Many came in just to have the burgers - I'm guessing they are fantastic too. Maybe next time!
One other note - Google AI told me that reservations are not taken. This is not the case, we reserved a few weeks ahead. It was for a Saturday night - not sure if that is an exception, but worth noting.
Delicious food! Slightly on the pricier side, but well worth it for the quality, freshness, & flavour. Everything was spot on. Definitely planning to come back!
We had a lovely time at this restaurant. Friendly service, comfortable environment. Everything we ate was perfect. Best scones I have ever tasted. Ceviche & the squash were my favorites. My husband liked the fresh bread & sausages but also liked the liver pate. Very filling - We have been full all day! Well worth it. You cant go wrong when quality is the focus.
I just had the sweetest time at Larry's! The tartare was to die for-so fresh & tasty. I paired it with a lovely glass of wine that made my heart sing. The cozy vibe & friendly staff made it feel like a warm hug. Can't wait to go back for more!
First thing I want to mention about this restaurant is that they don't accept tips. All gratuities are included in the price you see on the menu. All the items we order was so good & fresh. Service was warm/friendly & fast even though the place was packed. Great brunch spot in Montreal. One of my go to's!
Everything hit with our dinner order this past week. I thought it was all delicious & the wine selection was great. The Heirloom Tomatoes + Anchovy were perfectly salted & balanced with olive oil. Really delicious & fresh. Kedgeree was something completely new to my knowledge & it was really delicious. Think, curry flavored rice with flaky fish. The tomato added sweetness, really delicious! The pork chop was also good as well. Sous vied, so perfect interior. A bit rough at some points but the sage leaf + sauce combo made up for it. As a 24 y/o, I've never heard of piquette wine & now I'm a huge fan. If they still have it, it's perfect for summer / tail end of summer. If you're super hungry & come here, expect a hefty bill. We were just peckish & spent $100CAD.
