Review Summary

Across numerous visits, Lawrence is praised for a sublime tasting menu that pairs meticulous technique with creative flavors, a wine program that complements each course, and service that is attentive, knowledgeable, and warmly hospitable in a space that feels intimate rather than cramped. Diners note that every course can be a hit, the pacing allows for conversation, and dietary accommodations are handled with care. The restaurant's atmosphere and reliability are repeatedly highlighted, with comments calling it a Montreal essential and describing the experience as memorable and refined. While some guests miss a la carte options and note that the tasting menu can take several hours, the overall impression is one of remarkable quality, generous hospitality, and bold, well prepared dishes that showcase seasonal produce and thoughtful pairings. Plans to return and to recommend Lawrence to others are common, underscoring the venue as a standout in both food and wine.

Absolute joke. Terrible service & quality of food provided.
This place used to be a great spot to eat. Guess someone sold out. It's now run by clowns.

Highly recommend spending your money anywhere else (La Cave du Parapluie for half the price & 50x the quality).

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!

This was one of the best meals I've ever had. We did the tasting menu with a wine pairing & it was out of this world. The chef did an immaculate job with each course. The intimate setting of the restaurant really added to the ambiance. Highly recommend Lawrence!

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!
