I can't speak highly enough of this restaurant. Easily the best food I've ever had, every dish was delicious & unique. The restaurant also has a casual atmosphere that allows you to connect with the people you're dining with. The service was friendly & attentive & everyone was super helpful in explaining the dishes. I was dining with someone with a dietary restriction & they were very accomodating & helped craft us a menu we could both enjoy. The highlights for me were the carrots, leeks, & pork dishes. They also made us an incredible gluten-free cake; I've never had one this good in my life. All in all, this was the best culinary experiences I've ever had. It really lives up to the hype.

Best restaurant I've ever been to in Canada. They seem like they would be deeply offended if you didn't have an amazing experience. That's a list art in hospitality.

Service trop insistant, très très sombre à l'intérieur, carte alléchante mais pas aussi bon dans l'assiette, recommandé par le serveur de prendre 3 plats par personne pour avoir assez à manger, les portions sont très petites !! Facture très salée en sortie …
2 étoiles.

I purchased a Mon Lapin gift certificate for my parents as an anniversary gift, a place I've supported for years as someone who lives in the neighbourhood & continued to support during the pandemic.
I received an email clearly stating the certificate would be ready for pickup anytime after 2pm. Trying to be considerate, I arrived ten minutes before opening so I wouldn't interfere with dinner service once clients started arriving. I called to explain why I was there while standing outside, got no answer, knocked & showed the email confirming it was ready.
Instead of simply handing it over, I was made to wait outside until 5pm & was met with attitude for even being there.
For a restaurant currently riding the high of being named number one in Canada, the hospitality was nowhere to be found. Had this not been a gift, I would have asked for a refund. It will be the last time I set foot there.
There are way too many excellent restaurants in Montreal to waste my time at an establishment that treats its customers with arrogance.
