Review Summary

Reviews describe Lawrence as an outstanding and intimate dining room where every course shines and the staff are kind and knowledgeable. The tasting menu with its multi course format is repeatedly praised for variety, balance, and satisfying pacing, with many dishes highlighted as standouts. The wine program earns high praise for its breadth and thoughtful pairings, including excellent non alcoholic options. Dishes such as lamb, squid ink pasta, and mussel curry are frequently singled out for their depth of flavor, while desserts receive special commendation. Some feedback notes a shift away from a la carte and the removal of offal courses, with calls to preserve the restaurant's adventurous edge. The no tips policy is appreciated, and service is described as crisp, attentive, and unpretentious in a warm, refined setting with an open kitchen in some sections. Taken together, Lawrence is regarded as a Montreal standout and a memorable dining experience, though the tasting format can be lengthy.

One of the best dining experiences my husband & I have ever had. From the food (blew us away), to the wine pairings, to the service (the kindest & coolest people) to the ambiance - it was such a treat. Highly recommend checking out Lawrence. It's nothing short of remarkable.

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!

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!
