⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Dining at Restaurant Lawrence is an exceptional experience that showcases the best of Quebec's local ingredients & carefully crafted flavors. Every dish is made in house or sourced with the best care, reflecting a deep respect for the ingredients & dedication to quality. 📌Scallop Crudo with carrot escabeche, ginger, & lime leaf: fresh & flavorful. 📌Raw Beef with anchovy, suet bun, & castelfranco: An unique & savory bite. 📌Chicken Liver & Heart Double Ravioli with yellowfoot chanterelles & artichoke: A delightful combination of earthy & rich flavors. 📌Kohlrabi Tortelli with sea urchin & cider: A creative blend of textures & a highlight on the menu. 📌Grilled Lamb with morcilla, borlotti beans, & pepperoncini: Perfectly seasoned & tender. 📌Bluefin Tuna Belly with whelks & matsutake rice: The whelks stole the show with their briny, sweet, & meaty texture. For dessert, the 📌Frozen Sheep's Milk Yogurt with roast quince, saffron, & walnut was earthy, delicate, & quickly became a favorite. The 📌Cru Berger with apple tarte tatin & guanciale offered a delightful twist on a classic!! Lawrence's sophisticated tasting menu truly enhances the dining experience. Their approach to whole animal butchery, seasonal vegetables, & refined presentation makes this a must visit for anyone seeking thoughtful, high quality cuisine.
