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.
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!!

Went with my family for dinner here. Small dishes but very flavourful. Great meats & veggie dishes. Can't go wrong with a spot like this. Pretty casual
Great neighbourhood bar with some excellent small plates. Had a nice buzz the second I walked in.
Service was surprisingly slow despite a lot of friendly faces. I think I might have come in during a shift change though because three servers sat down at the bar to enjoy drinks with their friends or partners pretty quickly.
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.
I don't usually find myself enjoying every single item on the menu but this venue pulls it out. Everything i tried here is just on point. The beef tartare nails it, the picklets (pancakes) nailed it (most places make them dry, here perfect), the banoffee is incredible if you like bananas, I do. The eggs are creamy, the breakfast sandwich has this yummy dijon mustard taste & the lentils too were great. 💯
Belle ambiance & cuisine sans prétentions. Simple & succulent! Beaucoup de choix à base de légumes. & le service est inclus dans les prix. Quel belle idée!
Place is very cute. But honestly the food was ok…Very pricey & tiny. I took the beef tartare & it was very blend (24$ for the smallest portion). & I took the scone too, & inside it wasn't properly cooked (11$ for 1 scone). But coffee was good.
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!
