Lives up to the expectation of a Michelin Guide restaurant. The service is impeccable & the food is adjusted to your taste without losing the essence of the menu they serve.
My partner & I had the most amazing meal here. It was my first time visiting Montréal, & I am so glad this was part of the experience. The food was phenomenal, the service was warm & exceptional, & the atmosphere was so warm & inviting.
Is this the best restaurant in Canada? Who knows. The hype even years after opening remains pretty strong.
That said, there are few better representations of creative French/Quebeçois cooking in a small plates format, with a wine list this huge.
Everything tastes'French' despite the many subtle nods to other cuisines, like a a scallop mousse on bread that is clearly the Canadian version of shrimp toast.
Si vous vous attendez à des plats classiques, apprêtés selon les meilleurs standards, vous serez peut-être déçu. Vin Mon Lapin est avant tout une cuisine créative & inventive, axée sur les produits locaux de qualité sortant d'une cuisine traditionnelle. Un magistral tour de prouesse.
On ne focus pas trop sur côté artistique & encore moins sur le côté théâtrale de la présentation comme dans des 2 ou 3 étoiles michelin vous facturant 2-3 fois plus. Ici, on focus sur ce qu'il y a dans l'assiette & les sur des mélanges de saveurs insoupçonnés, voir carrément ésotériques.
Hier soir, j'ai pu goûter à 9 de leur plats, & un dessert.
Leurs plats ont parfois des saveurs concordantes, complémentaires, mais la plupart du temps se sont des associations de saveurs opposées qui donnent des résultats gustatives surprenantes !
Les produits sont frais, de qualité & souvent exécutés dans la simplicité, mais les accompagnements comme la sauce sont d'une grande complexité qui au lieu d'alourdir les plats, donnent en bouche une extrême finesse. Un peu comme prendre du vin avec son fromage. Au premier abord, cela semble contradictoire, mais en bouche, c'est une mini explosion de saveur, qui révèle des sensations & une finesse extraordinaire.
La plupart du temps, comme se sont des saveurs opposées, j'ai mis un peu de temps avant de me rendre compte que c'est au client de parfaire le niveau de son'mélange' de saveurs pour en extraire le'full' potentiel gustatif de très haut niveau, en dosant soigeusement & jusditieusement selon ses préférences la quantité des accompagnements & sauces à prélever sur sa fourchette.
Le gâteau au Sarrasin est une pure merveille.
Le service d'un grande qualité est fluide & impeccable. La table est nettoyée, les couverts & ustensiles sont changés & débarrassés à chaque nouvel service. Le service reste décontracté, mais extrêmement attentif, anticipant les besoins sans pour autant étouffer, tout comme d'ailleur l'atmosphère du restaurant. C'est d'une grande rareté de nos jours.
Vin mon lapin mérite amplement les prix décernés par l'industrie. Bravo & bonne continuation.
The food was very good, well prepared & made with quality ingredients. That said, I do not fully understand the hype surrounding this restaurant.
While individual dishes are not outrageously priced, the staff strongly encourages you to order around seven plates as soon as you sit down, which quickly brings the bill to about 180 to 200 dollars before drinks. Portions are small, so this feels more like a requirement than a suggestion.
What stood out was the service. The servers came across as somewhat condescending, which was surprising for a restaurant of this class. A more polished & welcoming approach would be expected.
Overall, the food was good, but the pushy ordering & attitude of the service made the experience feel overrated.
We had their December lunch as first experience & it was sublime. Impeccable service, delicious food, nothing else to say. Took their time to explain the menu. Knew how to pair the dishes we ordered & when to serve them. Can't wait to try their regular menu. Definitely worth the hype!
Having high expectations coming here but was disappointed.
Beef cru was bitter & razor clams topping with asparagu/mayo was underwhelming.
Scallop croque was their specialty & was tasty as well as the Ris de veau.
