À travers de nombreuses visites, Lawrence est salué pour un menu dégustation qui marie une technique précise à des saveurs innovantes, une carte des vins qui accompagne chaque plat et un service attentif et chaleureux dans un cadre intime et élégant. Les convives apprécient le rythme des plats, l'accueil personnalisé et les adaptations pour les restrictions alimentaires, tandis que l'expérience est décrite comme mémorable et raffinée. L'ambiance feutrée, la qualité constante et le caractère incontournable de l'expérience sont soulignés, avec des commentaires évoquant une cuisine qui met en valeur les produits locaux et les accords mets et vins. Bien que certains regrettent l'absence d'options à la carte et que le repas puisse durer plusieurs heures, l'impression générale reste favorable, avec des plats audacieux et bien préparés et un service qui reste impeccable. Beaucoup envisagent de revenir et recommandent Lawrence à d'autres gastronomes, ce qui confirme le restaurant comme une référence dans le paysage culinaire montréalais.
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

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!
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.
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!

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!
Fantastic food, beautiful place, great service! We will be back. It's not cheap, but we thought it was worth it. I definitely recommend this place where I had been meaning to go for a long time.
Fantastic experience overall from beginning to end. Excellent food matched perfectly with excellent service. Wine pairings were took our palates on an amazing journey, highly recommend for a special date night.
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!
Incredible meal, the team is extremely attentive & accommodating to gluten free dietary restrictions. Highly recommended! Their wine list & seasonal driven menu is absolutely fantastic!
I can without any hesitation say this is where I've eaten the best meals of my life. I'm shocked every time by how delicious & balanced & intricate the food is. I always recommend this place to anyone visiting Montreal, as well as anyone who hasn't experienced this life-changing food. Thank you & looking forward to many more visits.
We were visiting from the USA & googled QUIET restaurants in Montreal because we wanted an upscale, intimate dining & culinary experience where we could hear one another speak. LAWRENCE was on the list. It exceeded our expectations. The service, food & ambience were impeccable. It felt casual & comfortable in a good way & we had a wonderful experience. We went all in for the 8 course tasting & loved every minute of it. Highly recommend!
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!
For long enough time I was trying to figure out - why do they serve mediocre food that takes an hour (literally) to arrive, & how does this resonate with a hefty price tag.
I couldn’t, so I’ve decided to write this review.
Food:
Dishes were nothing special, & were very far apart from being worth $30 minimum a piece. The only good thing on a menu was steak, which I hope was, indeed a “different kind of meat, organic” (& so on). I have still payed $50 for 100g of mediocre beef.
Dessert was terrible, & I was truly questioning how that is even served. It was a brioche, with plum sauce. Tasted like the bread you have forgotten in your drawer for a week, & now you have nothing to eat so you decide to consume it with a plum sauce, then you decide to throw out $15. It was truly mesmerising testament to this place.
Service: waiters are hanging around, we have waited 10 minutes to be asked, because the waiter was looking something up on a computer. We were literally ignored. It would be understandable if some form of answer would be given to our requests. We have still decided to continue on, as we didn’t think a lot about that instance.
After ordering, we have waited an hour for out first dish, & 40-50 minutes for two consequent ones.
Ambiance was okay-ish. Lightning was good, & the design was well done. Good job on this front, & the bar was comfortable too. However, it is hard to judge restaurant’s ambiance all whilst receiving questionable experience on other fronts.
You could literally go almost anywhere, & more probably than not - get a FAR better experience.
Overall, not recommended, one of the worst of my experiences in fine establishments. In other words - go to the local bar & you will not see a difference in quality, but you will be served in 20 minutes total, not 2 hours. Does resonate.
* p.s. not mentioning specific menu items, as the menu is changed every month (we went in august end), but essentials (like dessert/stake quality), do taste the same throughout the time, usually.
