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.
This is one of the most impressive meals I've had in my life. I'm still processing the depths of flavors & innovations we got to taste. It was pretty perfect.
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.

Had a fantastic time enjoying the tasting menu on a Friday evening. Service was amazing, all of the food was so flavourful & cooked perfectly. We had a wonderful time.
Nous avons été transportés par le menu dégustation du Lawrence, aux produits de saison. L'utilisation d'épices diverses nous a ravis. Chaque plat présentait des arômes exquis (au nez & long en bouche - on a adoré !).
Endroit agréable & service attentionné.
Merci au chef, seul en cuisine, pour ce repas mémorable.
You'll feel right at home in this cosy restaurant with its open kitchen. The tasting menu is simply fabolous amd comes with a brisk wine pairing. Most importantly, everyone loves to chat about their profession & their produce in an unpretentious way.
Great experience! I admire the chef trying to run everything himself. The food was bold & interesting, & service was wonderful. It takes over 3 hrs for the whole tasting menu tho, just a heads up for people who are interesting in booking
Superbe expérience culinaire. Une belle ambiance feutrée. Je recommande l'accord mets-vins. On a découvert des vins du Québec incroyable. Un incontournable pour le foodies!

We had an amazing dinner at Lawrence. The staff were super attentive & did a great job of explaining the plates to us. The food was amazing & great price for both the quality & number of courses that we received. The restaurant is located in the main area of St Laurent Blvd so it's convenient to go after a long day of shopping.
A very intelligently crafted menu- the blend & choice of ingredients- meat, seafood with ample use of vegetables & fruits in every dish!
Very unique blends per dish but, came together beautifully-especially the aged New York strip with Foie Gras, Nettles, Dandelion jus & sunflower seeds, the tart with liver mouse, the Sea Urchin dish (right level of saltiness), & the baked Saffron custard with an indoor grown Rhubarb! Was a feast to the taste buds!
The service was impeccable with an inviting ambience.
Wil definitely be back! Thank you, Chef & the staff :) Delightful experience overall.
Should be in competition for a Michelin Star. Keep up the good work!
