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.

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

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!
