A top tier dining experience. Ate at the bar & was well taken of by the excellent staff. Dishes & execution are world class with a such a casual vibe, very special evening.

An exceptional dining experience! After a long wait for a reservation at Mon Lapin, I can confidently say it was well worth it. The food was outstanding, the atmosphere was warm & inviting, & the service was top-notch. The ever-changing menu adds an element of surprise, making me eager to return & explore more of their creative dishes.

Live in Montreal, I feel so proud that a restaurant from my city ranks number 1 in the Canadian top restaurants list. When I stepped in, I was quite surprised to be honest, because it looks like it could be any other community restaurant in Montreal, or even less "chic"or "luxury" than many of them. I have a very good feeling about it because it means that more people would have chance to taste the food since the price is just fair or even less than many other restaurants. I ordered the razor clam, beef tartare, gnocchi with ricotta filling & turnip, duck breast & striped bass. the cold dishes are really good, very original & fresh. the hot dishes I would say need a bit more breakthrough from ordinary versions.

Although all dishes were good, I think the only one which blew me away & I find myself reminiscing about is the buckwheat cake. There is truly something so unique & special with how balanced it is in terms of sweetness, but also its play with textures, & uniqueness compared to other dessert offerings. The wine selection was also really good. We used the opportunity to sample several wines by the glass. In this regard my highlight was the rosé Chair a Canon from Dunham. Its fruity notes were beautifully blended & smooth.

Of course I had to visit the #1 ranked restaurant in Canada. These guys know a thing or two about food & hospitality, I'll tell you that. We were greeted warmly & the staff knew what they were talking about. The way they were articulating their opinions on various wines, it was like poetry. The ambience was nice, although it could get a little loud sometimes. Staff were extremely attentive. The food was very interesting. The dishes incorporated a lot of combinations I never would've thought would pair well together, but there was harmony on my taste buds. Some dishes were exceptional, like the duck breast & tartare, while the eggplant with eel & sea urchin dish was a little lacklustre. I respect the creativity & inventiveness with all the offerings on the menu, but not at the cost of flavour. Small detail, we did have to remind staff about appetizers we had ordered that didn't arrive as our mains were being brought out. Overall, definitely worth the visit. A meal worth splurging for!

A very enjoyable kick back evening. Not pretentious, tasty cooking. Vibe inside is pumping & happy. Our server was really good at engaging with the tables & hearing what we wanted for a drink. The wait between some dishes was a little long, but nothing too overly long. I didn't really like the longish wait for a table beyond our reservation time (second seating) though, but in part this is due to there being not much outside the front door. Overall, I think this would be like your favourite neighbourhood wine bar: great for a catch up with friends, not so great for a first date but fine otherwise. Would return.

Lived up to its rating. A minor service slip to start but a full recovery for a wonderful meal. Unique dishes & wines.

The quality of the food is on point & the concepts behind them are very well thought out. My top 3 favourite we ordered were the scallop sandwich, eggplant dish & profiterole. Our server recommended most of the dishes based on the classics they bring back versions of since the menu changes daily. Our waitress was also super knowledgeable about the menu & new best pairings & serving sizes. Would recommend for people who are foodies. I would definitely go back & have other dishes!

Nothing exceptional in my opinion, maybe my hopes were set too high. However, all the dishes were delicious nonetheless.
