I have been coming to Lawrence for a number of years now, & it has never disappointed! The food is extraordinarily good, the quality of the ingredients, the care, technique & ingenuity used to combine & balance the flavours (with excellent alcohol pairings for every single item on the menu) are top-notch. One will be very hard pressed to find a gem like this restaurant. The warm-hearted service & relaxed setting make this place a dining experience you want to come back to again & again. If there is one restaurant that you need to go to in Montréal, this should be on the very top your list.View more

Phenomenal. Inspired. Different than it used to be, but wonderful tasting menu, wine pairings, & service! Michelin had better have Restaurant Lawrence on their radar for their long overdue Canada edition.View more

We had a lovely experience at Lawrence. We did the 8 course tasting menu with wine pairing. Every dish we had was delicious & loved the use of local resources. Every wine that was paired with the food was perfect & tasted great. The service at the restaurant was amazing - everyone was so kind & knowledgeable & passionate about providing us with the best experience possible. We can't wait to go back next time we're in town.View more

All four dishes we had, were creative & had an inspired core idea. Two of the four were transcendent. The monthly rotating/changing menu is a real plus. Exciting food experience. Location is a bit cramped. Service at times either a bit slow or rushed. Gratuity included is a serious perk.View more

Been wanting to try this place for awhile, & went with a friend visiting from out of town. We had the small tasting menu because we knew we would enjoy anything on the menu. We appreciated the really vibrant & unique flavour combinations, & beautifully presented dishes. The portions were a bit small, & although everything was excellent, no one dish really blew us away. Excellent wine suggestions from the servers, & impeccable service means that I would be happy to come back here & see what else the chef comes up with. I LOVE that gratuity is included in the pricing.View more

My recent dining experience at Lawrence in Montreal was nothing short of incredible-easily one of the best meals I've had this year. The menu showcased a range of exquisite dishes, each more delightful than the last. Highlights of the Meal: Lobster: Perfectly cooked, the lobster was succulent & flavorful, setting a high bar for the evening. Lamb & Anchovy Tartare: A unique & delightful combination, the tartare was a standout dish, expertly balancing the rich lamb with the briny anchovies. Zucchini Flowers Stuffed with Chicken Offal: This dish was a revelation, with the delicate zucchini flowers providing the perfect vessel for the rich & savory chicken offal. Sea Urchin Pasta: A luxurious & creamy dish, the sea urchin pasta was an umami bomb, leaving a lasting impression. Wine Pairing: The sommelier took a refreshing & interactive approach to wine pairing, asking for our preferences & suggesting a range of wines that complemented our meal beautifully. The selection included a notable emphasis on Austrian wines, which were a delightful discovery & paired perfectly with the diverse flavors of the dishes. Ambiance & Service: The restaurant's ambiance was warm & inviting, with an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere that made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The service was impeccable, with attentive & knowledgeable staff who enhanced our evening with their passion for food & wine. Overall, Lawrence exceeded all expectations, delivering a dining experience that was both innovative & deeply satisfying. It's a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable meal in Montreal.View more

Sea Urchin Linguine! With no expectations, we taxied to Lawrence. Our reservation had a few minutes, & as we strolled the neighborhood, it looked familiar. We've been on the same block several times. Huh? In three days, 70% of our vacation was spent on two blocks. Lawrence is tiny, seven two tops & a large bar. You can stick your nose into the kitchen. It's right there. Sea Urchin Linguine! We took two seats at the bar, & realized, although small, Lawrence is designed beautifully. It never feels snug, just cozy, enveloping you in a comforting blanket of graciousness & warmth. Lainie & Anna took special care of us, Lainie a well versed, gregarious sommelier, & Anna a purveyor of the love of food & hospitality. Sea Urchin Linguine! I started with the lobster with green asparagus, a wonderful palate cleanser. Our other appetizer was the zucchini blossoms with smoked chicken offal, which was scrumptious. For our entrees, we both ordered the SEA URCHIN LINGUINE. I fell in love & Lawrence provided a memory that will remain forever, like the pasta buttons at Metamorphosi in Rome, the cacio e pepe at Aimo e Nada in Milan, & the risotto at Vecchia Lanterna in Turin. My taste buds were delirious, & I was in a culinary hallucination. For dessert, my spouse ordered the tarte tatin, with a soft fromage on top, & guanciale, a cured pork jowl. What sounds weird was out of this world delicious . I chose for my dessert SEA URCHIN LINGUINE! I didn't want my love affair to end. La Dolce Vita. We loved everything about Lawrence, & I will miss it like a paramour from days past. The memories will remain.View more

We were visiting from the USA & googled QUIET restaurants in Montreal because we wanted an upscale, intimate dining & culinary experience where we could hear one another speak. LAWRENCE was on the list. It exceeded our expectations. The service, food & ambience were impeccable. It felt casual & comfortable in a good way & we had a wonderful experience. We went all in for the 8 course tasting & loved every minute of it. Highly recommend!View more
