Absolutely fabulous dinner! I was lucky enough to dine here this past week & I couldn't of enjoyed it more. I sat at the bar & Dimitri was so great-perfect wine choices, next time I'll try one of his amazing cocktails. The food was soo good & beautiful everything we had was great. Highlights for me were the tomato cherry salad the scallop sandwich is a must do!! Thank you ❤️

Very briefly, I had a good experience, & I'm glad I went. I think it's difficult to live up to the expectations of being the best restaurant in Canada. Going into the meal I asked myself if this would be the best one I've ever had, that has to be an insurmountable bar. I enjoyed every dish, each one being full flavour. The presentation was great (no pic online really does justice). I think it was fairly priced for what it is too, I expected the mark up in view of its accolades to be much higher. While the service was overall excellent, the wait time between meals was a bit of a sore point. The apps came quite quickly, but the mains took too long in between.

Nous avons adoré notre expérience tous les plats que nous avons goûté était une explosion de saveurs à chaque bouchée. Nous avons été bien conseillé pour le choix de nos plats ainsi que le vin. Le service était plus que parfait. Le seul bémol est que c'est très difficile d'avoir une table mais avec de la persévérance on y arrive.

L'accueil & le premier contact étaient assez décevants, principalement la personne qui nous a servi notre premier verre, je pense qu'il n'a même pas essayé de nous conseiller & nous expliquer le menu. Heureusement qu'un des barmans à pris la relève rapidement, car d'une part cette personne était au petit soin mais aussi il a pris le temps de nous écouter & nous conseiller. De plus ces cocktails étaient vraiment bon! Côté bouffe on est plus proche d'un bistrot, très bien travaillé & exécuté, mais comme souvent à Montréal c'est cher. Ça manque d'options végétariennes ou du moins d'alternative. Ceci étant dit on a passé un super moment, merci infiniment au barman pour son service impeccable !

Expérience qui ne répond pas aux attentes crées par la position de 1er meilleur restaurant au Canada !!!!! À ce demander si cette 1ere place n'a pas été achetée L'expérience est bonne mais rien de WOW ! J'ai eu l'occasion de faire bien des restaurants qui devraient être classés devant mon lapin . Dommage que cette liste des 100 meilleurs restaurants au Canada vienne de perdre toute crédibilité à mes yeux !!!

I cannot imagine food being any better than the meal we had here. It was creative, delicious, decedant. Service was 10/10, energetic, supportive, & knowledgeable. With minimal input from us, our server set a delightful menu with thoughtful wine (& non-alcoholic) pairings. FYI - Getting a reservation requires planning a month in advance. I almost want to leave a bad review so it's easier for me to get a table in the future, but that would have left a stain on the wonderful evening.

Loved this restaurant experience, easily in my top ten meals of all time. The staff were kind & incredibly knowledgeable. We picked a few of the dishes that interested us the most & the team was able to bring us four balanced courses with drinks to match. The food was innovative, but never to the point you didn't know what you were eating. The chef did all the ingredients justice. I hope the next time I am back in Montreal, I'm able to secure another reservation.

"Vin mon lapin" : une déception relative J'avais de grandes attentes pour ce restaurant réputé, mais l'expérience s'est révélée mitigée. Quelques points positifs : La truite en feuille de bette à carde était savoureuse, bien que servie tiède. Cependant, plusieurs lacunes ont terni le repas : Les croque-pétoncles manquaient cruellement de saveur. Le dessert'Miel & Sarrasin', pourtant emblématique du restaurant, était décevant avec un goût insipide rappelant le carton mouillé. La joue de porc, malgré sa cuisson parfaite, manquait de goût. Bien que Vin mon lapin soit un bon restaurant, il ne mérite pas, à mon avis, son classement parmi les meilleurs restaurants du Canada ces deux dernières années. L'expérience ne correspond pas au battage médiatique dont il fait l'objet. Un point particulièrement frustrant : l'attente pour réserver est inversement proportionnelle au plaisir ressenti lors du repas. La difficulté à obtenir une table crée des attentes que la cuisine ne parvient malheureusement pas à satisfaire. De plus le restaurant est extrêmement bruyant, ce qui rend le tout assez désagréable, les panneaux acoustiques sont présents mais ne semblent pas suffire. En résumé, une cuisine correcte mais qui ne répond pas aux attentes suscitées par sa réputation & la difficulté à y réserver une table.
