We went to this restaurant with high expectations for a special occasion but were not impressed at all.
We were four people, so we ordered several different dishes to share. Everything was just ordinary (not bad, but not particularly tasty or special either). They try to impress with a unique, daily-changing menu, but when it comes to the actual food, it's just average & lacking in flavor.
Service wasn't great either; too many different staff members were attending to us while we waited a long time for our food. The restaurant presents itself as a top-tier destination, but in reality, it felt like an ordinary place that I wouldn't return to, especially for the price.

Great restaurant but NOT safe for celiacs! Be careful! The food was delicious but I had a troubling experience. I explained I could not eat gluten to our server & when he brought our plate I asked about a specific grain as it looked like gluten, sure enough the kitchen confirmed it was spelt. The server tried to convince me that spelt was not gluten, in the end I googled it & showed the server on my phone that it is a form of gluten & is not safe for celiacs. They remade the plate without the grains & it was delicious.

Very good food. The food is very light, & fresh leaving you feeling good after the meal. The scallop toast was incredible, fish was delicious. The corn is a must order. However, the food did take slightly longer than expected to come out of the kitchen. The courses were paced, but it was slow. The staff are all incredibly nice & do an amazing job explaining the menu. The patio outside is lovely. Definitely recommend.

The one thing I can say about this gem that maybe hasn't been said before is that it brings you back to a time when Montreal restaurants were authentically Montreal restaurants. There is no pretense; just incredible food, a perfect bar where you can talk all the trash with amazing people, insane wines, & an unpretentious vibe. Long live Mon Lapin bro❤?

I went here with my buddy on a Thursday night, & it was extremely full by the time we got there, near 10PM.

Mon Lapin ('my rabbit') is a cheeky French term of affection, & the rabbit theme shows up in quirky ways in this restaurant's artwork, figurines & always-hopping ambiance.
Even the cactus is shaped like a rabbit here.
My buddy & I kept thinking there might be rabbit dishes here, but we were wrong. Most of the dishes were seafood, which was mainly what we ordered.

This place used to be part of the Joe Beef group of restaurants, but now sommelier Vanya Filipovic & chef Marc-Olivier Frappier are taking full ownership of the establishment.

From the menu of that specific day, we ordered:
•Cocktail du Jour! (Cocktail of the Day)
•Croque-pétoncle, maïs sucré (Croque-scallop, sweet corn)
•Aubergine rosa Bianca, cantaloup (Rosa Bianca eggplant, cantaloupe)
•Couteaux de mer, concombre itachi - sureau (Razor clams, itachi cucumber - elderberry)
•Maquereau - fava - beurre noisette (Mackerel - fava - brown butter)
•Espadon N.-E., fenouil - bisque (NE swordfish, fennel - bisque)

My favourite is the croque-pétoncle, simply because I like scallops & crunchy things & sweet corn. The dishes in general are very interesting in their composition, yet very minimalistic. Most interesting to me is the eggplant dish, it's like a sweet & savory vegetarian dish. I think everything is perfectly prepared, but it's just not something to my taste; it's too minimalistic to me & it doesn't have enough meat/fish in a dish (compared to vegetables/fruits) for my liking.

What a memorable & truly enjoyable meal - both the food & the service (special thanks Etienne!) made this our #1 dining experience.

With our dietary restrictions, Etienne made the additional effort to curate the meal - striking a perfect balance between flavors & portions.

The tomato pie was truly special, only to be topped by the blueberry ice cream sandwich.

Thank you!
