The service was great, which is the only reason I'm giving this place three stars instead of two. Overall, it felt overrated. We waited over 20 minutes to be seated (which was fine), but once we sat down, we were told there were no main dishes left, none at all, which makes no sense if you're still seating guests. The scallop dish we tried was delicious, but when we ordered a second round, we were told they had run out. We've eaten at many restaurants across Montreal & had high expectations for this one, but unfortunately there are several others in the city that we found far superior.

This is one of the best restaurants I've been to. I was able to walk in solo mid week, & everyone was so friendly & helpful (shoutout Guillaume for your recommendations & hospitality). The wine & food were both delicious - I ordered the razor clams, uni, scallop sandwich, tomatoes in broth, & cod. The flavors & dishes were so thoughtful, balanced, & unique. I can't wait to come back & try more.

I went with my family to celebrate my fiance birthday. Wine selection is great . Ambiance is nice bit loud.
Food was good some dishes but other one not my kind of favorite. I definitely don't think is the best restaurant in montreal like people describe.

This is easily one of the best meals I have ever had. We went on a busy Saturday night & we were promptly seated as soon as we arrived. Our original server was absolutely lovely & really helped us with the menu. We decided to have the kitchen curate a menu for us with wine pairings which was the BEST decision. We got such an array of dishes & every single one was delicious & every wine accompaniment worked perfectly. We were there for 2 hours & were attended to perfectly by multiple servers who were so knowledgeable about the menu & wine pairings. The restaurant itself was beautiful, I cannot say enough good things. I can't wait to go back

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.

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.

Service was absolutely phenomenal-best I've ever had anywhere. Our server nailed personalized pairings without us even saying a word (chilled red for him, skin-contact orange for me!). Standout dish: preserved leeks with smoked mussels-truly innovative. Prices are very reasonable for a top spot. Most dishes were good but not mind-blowing, otherwise this would be an easy 5 stars.

Worth the hype!! We ordered 8-10 dishes & LOVED every single one of them. Truly a spectacular dining experience that we won't forget!

A true gem of a restaurant. Fresh ingredients, seasonal menus, & well put together dishes. I was really impressed with the attentive service by the staff. This is a cant miss place when visiting Montréal. Merci/Thank you!
