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.
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.

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
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
If you're in Montreal you have to try Larry's. So good we went twice!! Incredible scrambled eggs, bread & jam is a must, coffee was awesome. Service is great too, & gratuity is included in prices so you don't have to stress about tipping. I wish all restaurants did this!!
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.
The atmosphere, the service & the food were great. The price of the menu was the negative point for me. Prices included taxes & tip but still, beef tartare 22$ but no sides. The salad was 12$ for a small bowl. So 39.59$ for the small beef tartare with a side salad no drink was too expensive in my opinion.
Food was good, price includes tip already so pricing is reasonable. The fries were amazing as was the scrambled eggs, though a tad on the saltier side.

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!
I love this place . Their food is amazing !!! I love their inclusive tip business model so you don't have to worry about choosing how much you want to tip them. A must try for someone who's new to Melbourne. They do nice drinks too
