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.

This restaurant was absolutely incredible. Our waitress was super helpful in picking out the meal & pairing a wine. The food was out of this world! I thoroughly enjoyed each dish & experiencing the flavors. Chef did a great job with the tasting menu. This place gets my highest of recommendations.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Wonderful unique food experience. Montreal has exceptional eats, & this matches our top experiences. Great pairing of a Greek wine. Great service, quiet intimate space. Will definitely be back.

5.0

Charming, warm, friendly space, excellent food (tuna/marrow toast!), excellent drinks (Quebec Chardonnay!). Effortless service made us feel like we were friends visiting. Worth noting they use a non-tip model, so everyone is already paid a fair wage & you don't need to do any math at the end of the meal (which could be a challenge after 8 services with wine pairings). Wholeheartedly recommended. Keep up the great work, Marc & co!

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.
