About

Lawrence delivers a sophisticated interpretation of Modern British cuisine that prioritizes seasonal produce and high quality ingredients. The menu emphasizes traditional French techniques combined with a contemporary approach to bold, rustic flavors. Guests encounter a concise selection of plates that often highlight whole animal butchery and house-made charcuterie. The physical space features a minimalist aesthetic with clean lines and unpretentious decor that keeps the focus entirely on the culinary output. Every dish reflects a commitment to simplicity and structural integrity rather than decorative excess or unnecessary garnishment. The environment encourages a focused exploration of textures and profiles inherent in thoughtfully sourced proteins and garden harvests. This establishment maintains a disciplined standard for preparation that resonates with those seeking authentic preparation and precise execution in every balanced bite.

One of my favorite restaurants in Montreal. We got a table next to the chef & could see him creating each dish, such an intimate experience. Each dish was meticulously crafted, lots of new & exciting flavors. The service was also wonderful- I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to try a mystery tasting menu!

An absolute must visit.
First of all, the ambiance is great. It's cozy, there was only one chef cooking in the kitchen. The staff is excellent & explain the menu perfectly.
But wow, I just didn't expect to love this place so so much. I think this may be one of the best restaurants I've eaten at in my life.
The dishes were so intricate & well thought out. The flavours, outstanding. I was absolutely stuffed at the end & remember thinking that I could eat it all again anyways.
Definitely definitely go here, this is a restaurant in Montreal you cannot miss.

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.

Amazing chef collaboration with Parcelles' Dominic Labelle: a fundraiser for Mission Mile End. 5 course pairing menu, with superb wines, fantastic cause, next level service, ambiance. Each dish was a next level execution, symphony of flavour & textures.

Another great experience at Lawrence. I had the tasting menu, my highlights were the Jerusalem artichokes confit w/lobster , a kind of sea chucrut garnie with sturgeon; skate & a whelk sausage & a lamb tartare on a bone-marrow dripped toast with Cantabrian anchovies. The chef keeps outdoing himself. The service was friendly & very professional as always.
