A truly unforgettable dining experience.
We came to Montreal as visitors, excited to explore the city's food scene - but to be honest, most of our restaurant experiences were disappointing: overpriced meals, lack of flavor, & nothing memorable. We were genuinely starting to feel disheartened, thinking maybe there was nowhere to eat truly well here.

& then… we discovered Mon Lapin.
We're staying at the Four Seasons, but we took the metro two evenings in a row just to dine at this little gem. It was absolutely worth it. Every dish we tried sparked pure emotion - we were smiling, amazed, & honestly couldn't even decide which one was our favorite. Everything was incredibly fresh, balanced, & bursting with flavor.

& the prices? Surprisingly reasonable for such a high-level, internationally acclaimed kitchen.

If you're a true foodie - or just someone who values real flavor, creativity, & quality ingredients - you must visit this restaurant. I don't write reviews lightly, & I've been let down by many'top rated' spots. But Mon Lapin truly stands out.

Highly, highly recommended - from the heart.

We were super impressed with this restaurant. Major kuddos to Rose, our waitress. She recommended the wines, appetizers, main dishes, & desserts. Everything she suggested was phenomenal. We had such a lovely night & want to thank her again for the impeccable service!

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.

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!

The quality of ingredients here is outstanding. Our group of three ordered several dishes to share, as the portions are on the smaller side. We had the snow crab, scallop French toast, buckwheat cake for dessert, duck breast, & a salad with duck or cow liver. Every dish was exceptional in flavor, making it clear why this restaurant is ranked among the best in Canada. My only wish is that the portions were slightly larger, especially for sharing, considering the price. That said, the wine recommendations from our waitress were excellent. The atmosphere was warm & cozy, & the service was fantastic. I'd definitely return!

Might be so far one of the best places I've eaten at in Montreal? Food is great, service is great, price is surprisingly not expensive for the quality you get. Their dishes are for sharing, so we pretty much ordered 3/4 of their seasonal menu & got to try everything. Surprisingly we liked everything we ordered, which is quite rare. Only downside would be that it's really hard to book a spot as it's very popular. Would definitely go back when there menu changes in the next season. Can't wait!

It was our first time at Vin Mon Lapin & we had a lovely experience! What stood out the most was the excellent service we received from their very sympathetic & knowledgeable staff! As per the staff's recommendation, we tried the tasting menu & we had a coup de coeur for the Couteau de mer sur glace celeri, the Croque-Pétoncle & the Cardeau Cru, Sungolds - Beurre noisette. The wine was insanely good was well! I don't know if the tasting menu was worth it for us (we didn't particularly like the Carrots, the gnocchi & one of the two main dishes) but we still happy we tried it! We'll definitely go back to try other things on the menu!

Vin Mon Lapin, ranked #1 on Canada's 100 Best Restaurants list, is a must-visit spot in Montreal's Little Italy. From start to finish, it was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The vibrant atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between youthful energy & refined sophistication. Though the space is cozy, it adds to the charm, & reservations are a must.

We sat at the bar with a clear view of the kitchen, feeling like we were at an intimate dinner party. The service was exceptional, with our friendly server offering wine samples & never rushing us. We opted for the chef's curated tasting menu, paired flawlessly with wines. Every course amazed me, especially the Le Croque-Pétoncle-a scallop sandwich on buttery, garlicky toast-easily the best dish I've ever had. The veal tartare with sun-gold tomatoes, rich Béarnaise-like sauce, & perfectly seared duck breast with foie gras sauce were standout dishes.

The wine pairings elevated the meal, & though I lost track of courses, I couldn't stop savoring each bite. A hidden gem, Mon Lapin offers some of the finest French/Italian-inspired food in Montreal. Don't miss it-put it on your restaurant list to visit, & you won't be disappointed.

Great place to relax & grab some shareable food (starters or dishes) with your party. The food & ingredients are original & well balanced with some mixed French & Italian flavor spirit & the dressing is fancy. You have a nice range of wine to choose from per glass or whole bottle. Overall a good experience.
