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
Admittedly a long time favourite of mine since their Sparrow beginnings. Their wine list spectacular & full of surprises & will not disappoint regardless of the price point. I don't understand how they didn't get a star or a bib gourmand & I've been to a fair few around the world whose cuisine I consider less impressive in comparison.
Lawrence food experience is a 9 course tasting menu with an additional 2 side courses with a total duration of over 3 hours was a sublime experience.
The dessert was a French toast & sheep milk yogurt that was fantastic, the palette cleanser was an apple along with a radicchio sorbet which was absolutely delicious.
The lamb, squid ink pasta & mussel curry, courses were the highlight of the whole menu. The service was absolutely fabulous & the drink menu was exhaustive. We opted for the milk washed calvados, manhattan & a non alcoholic sparking tea & they were really good.
Absolutely loved eating here. We had the tasting menu & were so impressed with the flavors, quality of ingredients, wine pairings, & service. The ambience is also lovely & they paced the meal so well. HIGHLY recommend!
An extraordinary experience. That perfect balance of unique & delicious food in an environment that's nice without being pretentious. Excellent wines as well. Shocked it's still fairly straightforward to get a reservation.
Lawrence (Montréal) - a namesake worth a toast
As a fellow Lawrence, I wanted this to sing. It does-mostly in mushrooms & in the glass. The kitchen leans into the forest with conviction: mushrooms arrive bronzed & breathing, all savour & slip, the sauce holding that dark, quiet bassline you only get from patient pan work. It's cooking with memory-restraint, heat control, & the courage to stop when the flavour says'enough.' The wine list meets that umami with intelligence; we drank widely by the glass & found pairing after pairing that nudged the dishes forward without grandstanding. Service was crisp, calm, & properly paced; the room gives you time to talk & time to taste.
Two laments. First, the shift away from à la carte. A set format can be tidy, but Lawrence used to be a place where you could shape the night plate by plate; now it feels slightly prescribed. Second, the quiet disappearance of organs & offal-particularly brains. Some of us came here for that exact candour. Bring back the courage cuts; they're part of the restaurant's soul.
On policy: I love the no-tips model. Pay your team properly; let guests think about food & wine rather than calculus. Still, a small grace note goes a long way. A welcomed pour, a little dish from the pass-some acknowledgment for engaged regulars & joyful eaters (Melanie & me very much included) would seal the hospitality.
Verdict: Lawrence remains one of Montréal's essential rooms-beautiful when the cooking stays close to the pan & the wines roam. Restore the à la carte freedom & the offal, & it will be unmissable. We'll be back, name on the door & appetite in hand. ?
Une expérience inoubliable, chaque plat est soigné, servi à la perfection, plein d'agréables surprises gustatives, vraiment, chaque bouchée est un moment unique qui reste gravé dans la mémoire. Je ne pouvais rêver mieux pour fêter la Saint-Valentin. Le service est attentionné, personnalisé, professionnel & sympathique. Vraiment j'en sors émerveillé.
The corn chowder was to die for. & then be resurrected to eat it again & die all over again.
Great service by people who are clearly passionate about the food & drink they are serving. Enjoyable experience all around.
Un repas inoubliable avec la nourriture incroyable & le service formidable dans un espace très intime & agréable. 5/5
Expérience client:
1. Rentrer dans le magasin & dire bonjour
2. Personne ne répond mais nous dévisage
3. Redire bonjour avec insistence
4. Toujours pas de bonjour
5. Sortir du magasin & ne rien acheter
Vous n'en avez très certainement rien à faire, au vu du nombre de commentaires sur votre amabilité, mais le service fait partie de l'expérience, vos parents ont dû vous l'apprendre très jeune, mais la politesse c'est l'une des premières choses qui devrait faire partie de ce que vous offrez aux clients & dans la vie en général.
Pour explication, la moindre des choses quand on travaille dans le service c'est d'accueillir un minimum vos client, pas de léchage de bottes nécessaire, rien qu'un bonjour ça fonctionne.
Ça doit être vraiment compliqué de vivre avec un melon comme le vôtre, & pas très agréable, c'est dommage car le chef Marc fait un travail formidable, mais votre comportement décourage la venue dans ses autres établissements.
Excellente table. Menu dîner dégustation (9 services avec déclinaisons non connues à l'avance. Chaque plat est une surprise. Personnel très accueillant & connaissent parfaitement les produits qu'ils servent.
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.
Gastronomy at its finest - true culinary art. The service is impeccable, & I highly recommend the wine pairing.
Absolutely sublime! We weren't able to choose a favourite service, everything is an equally strong statement. Lawrence is such a gem.
Warm hospitality, intimate & cozy space, with delectable, thoughtful dishes make for a very enjoyable dining experience. 100% recommended.
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.
