The scallop sandwich was so intriguing, you can feel the fun the chef was having with it. Loved the sourdough marinated chicken served with the fish roe on top. Everything worked so well together! Only thing would have liked differently would have been dressing the salad a quarter or so less to enjoy the greens more. The bits of fried chicken with the radish & pate was so yummy! Very satisfied with the meal & the cute little rabbit!
Came here for dinner with my partner. Have been trying for a while to get a reservation, & it was well worth it. The space itself is relaxed & warm. Our server Camille went above & beyond, she was cordial, friendly, & efficient. We ended up asking her to create us a menu & were glad we did. The pacing was excellent, the food paired very well. We don't drink, so can't comment on the wine pairings. The standouts were the scallop toast, the pork & halibut mains, & the buckwheat cake. Truly a memorable experience , recommend without hesitation.
My wife & I enjoyed a wonderful meal on the patio. We had some of the best service we've ever had. Excellent wine pairings were suggested & happily received. It can be hard to live up to the hype but we definitely enjoyed ourselves & all the lovely food.
On a beautiful sunny day you might be able to snag a spot without a reservation. The menu changes all the time so I don't think I can recommend anything, but if the scallop-toast-thing 😅 is on the menu please don't hesitate.
Excellent experience here. Highly recommended to visit while in Montréal. Delicious meal, well crafted cocktails & amazing staff provide guests with a memorable meal.
I've been wanting to try this restaurant for so long, even more since they were ranked #1 out of 100 restaurants in Canada! Reservations are difficult to get, one has to be ready when the times are released, exactly 30 days before, at 5pm. Needless to say that my expectations were high.
In the end, I was disappointed. The food itself was just good, nothing exceptional. We even tried the popular options such as the scallop sandwich ('croque-pétoncle'), & the buckwheat cake, without being impressed. The pork had a lot of fat, & was served with even more cubed fat. The sweetbread ('ris de veau') which is already rich, was paired with even more richness from the lettuce vinaigrette. It could have benefited from some contrasting flavors & textures instead. The cocktail'Genziana' was weirdly bitter & herby. The Savouré blackcurrant juice was good, but we had to ask for non-alcoholic options as it was not listed on the menu?
The daily printed menu is only in French, which the servers then recite in English. The table next to us had difficulty understanding, & they ordered'veal', not expecting sweetbreads ('ris de veau'). The tables around us were all English speaking tourists. Wouldn't it just be easier to print the menu in English too?
Service was very attentive, to the point of being overbearing. Plates were whisked away as soon as they were finished, servers came to wipe the table between each dish, we were asked multiple times about the food, etc. They asked if it was for a special event, to which we said job promotion. They then proceeded to bring the dessert with a lit candle & wished us happy birthday…
In the end, our main deception was with the food itself, which failed to impress. The ingredients pairing in each dish was lacking. In comparison, we much preferred other restaurants like Monarque or Europea.
We had high hopes for Mon Lapin given reviews & hype online. Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow tonight evidenced by waiting fifty minutes for soughdough bread for example. Other covers who arrived significantly later than us received bread & starters earlier which only added salt into the wound. To further disappointment, one of our main courses arrived cold & was thus sent back to the kitchen. The rectified dish then arrived when the rest of the table were finishing up their own mains. Some positives were the gnudi was delicious & the front of house team were apologetic (& as a gesture of good will amended the cheque to reflect certain disappointments tonight). In light of our experience amidst the sea of positive reviews from others, perhaps this was an anomaly from the restaurant.
An absolutely incredible dinner, the best I had on my visit to Montreal, & the best I've had for some time.
The food & wine were stellar as expected, but what truly impressed me was the warm & attentive service, particularly from Guillaume, who went out of his way to make our night special. However, the overall vibe of everyone was fantastic-from the host table to the runners.
I can't wait to go back, & recommend that anyone visiting the city should prioritize coming in.
WOW what a wonderful experience! The meal was fantastic & the staff were awesome. Every one of our selections were prepared perfectly. The wine was paired to our meal with the staffs guidance & really topped of the whole evening.
Definitely worth the hype! Food, service, experience was perfect. Amazing wine. Casual & comfortable vibe with high end food. Would recommend trusting your server to give you a great experience. We'll be back for sure!
A Culinary Gem: An Unforgettable Evening at Vin Mon Lapin
Dining at Vin Mon Lapin is not just a meal - it's an artful experience that engages every sense. Each dish is crafted with precision, creativity, & a deep understanding of flavor balance. Our evening was nothing short of spectacular.
Mon Lapin is a place where each dish tells a story, where the plating is as inspired as the flavors, & where passion is palpable in every course. An absolute must-visit for any lover of refined, imaginative cuisine.
The atmosphere is warm, the service is thoughtful, & the food is next-level. If you're into seasonal, inventive cuisine, Mon Lapin is a must-visit.
Lapin délice, lapin service, lapin le vin, lapin trop bien, lapin lapin lapin lapin lapin lapin!
Une belle expérience globale, mais pas le coup de coeur espéré. L'endroit est charmant, l'ambiance chaleureuse & le service attentionné sans être envahissant. On sent une belle recherche dans les plats, avec des produits de qualité & des associations intéressantes - mais honnêtement, certaines assiettes manquaient un peu de « wow ». Rien de mauvais, loin de là, mais pas aussi mémorable que ce à quoi je m'attendais vu la réputation de l'endroit. Ça reste un super spot pour une soirée un peu spéciale mais personnellement je n'y retournerai pas.
Absolutely adored our experience here. Dimitri served us at the bartop & we let him pick everything for us. Cocktails, appetizers & dessert. Wish I had gone with more than 1 other person so I could have ordered/tried more dishes on the menu!
It's worth making a reservation & was one of our favourite dining experiences while in Montreal.
Super souper en famille. Nous avons partagé toutes les assiettes & tout le monde a adoré. Difficile de recommander un plat car le menu change régulièrement & les plats signatures du resto sont connus. Très bon rapport expérience/goût/prix. Je recommande fortement. On va y retourner bientôt.
Je ne laisse pas souvent de commentaires, mais là… J'attendais depuis des mois pour tester cette adresse en vogue à Montréal, & je dois dire que l'expérience a été très décevante, à l'opposé de la majorité des avis.
Dès notre arrivée, l'ambiance était oppressante : les serveurs sont extrêmement présents - voire trop. Pas moins de cinq personnes sont intervenues à notre table à intervalles très rapprochés, ce qui empêche tout moment de calme. Ils coupaient parfois la parole, postillonnaient en parlant trop près, & se marchaient littéralement sur les pieds : deux personnes nous ont présenté le menu, la sommelière m'a servi un vin à l'aveugle sans me demander ce que je recherchais… On a aussi vu plusieurs fois les mêmes mains manipuler nos assiettes, verres & couverts après avoir nettoyé une autre table. Assez dérangeant.
Les tables sont beaucoup trop serrées & la musique trop forte, ce qui vous impose les conversations des voisins, tout en mangeant à quelques centimètres du passage incessant des serveurs.
Côté nourriture, le mot qui me vient est'insipide'. Les mélanges ne fonctionnaient pas. Le crabe, saturé de citron, baignait dans un jus de concombre glacé ; le croque-pétoncles (leur spécialité paraît-il) était écoeurant & sans goût. Même le pain (9 $ pour trois tranches, certes venant d'un bon boulanger) n'était ni chaud ni accompagné d'un beurre digne de ce nom - juste trempé dans une huile sans intérêt.
Les options végétariennes sont très limitées : on vous sert des plats amputés des protéines animales, sans réelle réflexion culinaire derrière. Impossible de commander un plat principal végétarien pensé comme tel.
Je comprends que nous ayons pu tomber sur une mauvaise journée en cuisine, mais rien ne nous a convaincus. L'expérience globale - service, ambiance, nourriture - n'était vraiment pas à la hauteur du battage autour de cette adresse.
everything was good but no dish rly stood out that much for me :(
Amazing service & food in a decontracted setting. We particularly enjoyed the warm buttery oysters & lobster spaghetti. Great wine selection. Service was amazing & attentive.
Voted Canada best restaurant for a reason. The chef has prepared some incredible dishes. So simple yet so flavourful. They are very unique yet delicious. The service here was also second to none. Very kind & friendly staff. Presentation was on point. Must have in Montreal!
We loved everything!! No misses. Menu items cycle in & out but I can totally understand why the scallop sandwich & buckwheat cake have held their spot for this long. My one regret was not specifying that my husband has back problems so we would have preferred regular seating rather than the bar but he endured because we had such a good time. We'll be back!
