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.

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).

I went to Lawrence last evening with high expectation since a friend recommended it as one of montreal's best restaurant. Every one of the nine meals I was served confirmed my friend was right! The chef is a real artist, each dish had so much work & passion in them & the wine selection was a perfect match. Anybody who's passionate about food need try this hidden gem!!!

Our dinner at Lawrence was outstanding. The restaurant is perfectly sized to feel special & intimate without being cramped. All the staff we interacted with were so kind & knowledgeable. Our primary server recommended an excellent alcohol-free sparkling wine that suited the meal perfectly. We were blown away by every single dish. We have had tasting menus all over the world & it's very rare to come across one where every single course is a hit. One of the guests in our party had some dietary restrictions that the chef & team accommodated very well. We will absolutely be back & would recommend to everyone. Thank you for being the highlight of our stay in Montreal

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!
