✨ We had the most wonderful evening at Mon Lapin yesterday for my mother-in-law's birthday, & I can't stop thinking about it. From start to finish, everything was exceptional, the food, the wine, the atmosphere, & the hospitality.
Every dish was so beautifully prepared, layered with flavor & creativity while still feeling comforting & approachable. The staff made us feel truly celebrated - warm, attentive, & full of knowledge about the menu & wine pairings. The energy in the restaurant is both lively & intimate, making it the perfect place for a special occasion.
My in-law was absolutely delighted, & we all left with full hearts (& very happy stomachs!). We'll definitely be back soon.

Staff was incredibly knowledgeable & helpful in wine pairings. Food exceeded our expectations. Great atmosphere. Fantastic meal.

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

One of the best restaurants I've been to in Canada.
Finally made it after trying to get a reservation for weeks. Mon Lapin was voted #1 in Canada for two consecutive years, & while it lost that title this year, the reservation was still very hard to get. Barely got in with a 9PM res.
Mon Lapin changes its menu daily according to availability of ingredients, & since we had a late res, some of the items were already sold out. They don't release their menu anywhere, so even until we were sat down, we didn't know what we were getting into (except, obviously, their signature scallop dish).
From the smaller plates, our favorites were the Conserve de Poireaux, Moules Fumées & Le croque-Pétoncle. In the former, it took me several bites to realize that smoked mussels were puréed into the mayo. & it was just brilliant. Smoky, briny, & addictive enough to lick clean. Better than MSG. The preserved leeks were slick & squeaky, so I didn't enjoy it to be honest, but worth it just for that smoked mussels mayo.
The scallop mousse was extraordinary. The texture was silky yet gently chewy & it was like sinking your teeth into a warm, freshly pressed rice cake. The green onion mayo added a nice spark, but truthfully, the sandwich didn't need it. Ordered a second without hesitation.
For the large plates, we ordered the duck breast, Gaspésie halibut, & Beaurivage pork, & the only dish that really stuck to my memory was the pork. Beaurivage pork is the finest pork from Québec, so it was exceptionally tender. Here it got the treatment of prime rib. Cut thick & splashed with some anchovy sauce. It sounded a bit risky but ended up pairing beautifully with the pork fat.
We unfortunately weren't in the mood for wine pairing, so got some of their non-alcoholic drinks. I got the Honey & Sea salt seltzer, & it was one of the best soda/seltzers I've had in a while.

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.
Suzanne
Outstanding restaurant. Simple yet elegant decor. The wine pairing suggestions were fabulous & paired perfectly. The food is meant to share & the portion is ideal. We did wait 25 minutes for our cocktail at the beginning which was disappointing but the other tables did not have such a wait time. It's must in Mtl.

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.

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.

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.

Dimitri was incredible! The food & wine pairings he chose for us were outstanding. The scallop toast & carrots were absolutely phenomenal. What an experience! Merci Beaucoup!!!
José
Excellent menu dégustation. A decent white wine & a different & tasty sake were OK as pairing. Service & atmosphere are superb. The restaurant lives up to its reputation.
Tricia
My boyfriend & I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant to celebrate my birthday, & it was truly an exceptional experience. The atmosphere was incredibly warm, welcoming, & unpretentious. Our server was great-highly professional, friendly, & thoughtful in recommending both food & wine pairings, which enhanced our evening immensely. The service overall was impeccable from beginning to end. The food itself was nothing short of extraordinary. Every dish was delicious, but the croque scallop & albacore tuna stood out as our absolute favourites. The flavours were not only delicious but also distinctive. We enjoyed every moment of our visit & are already looking forward to returning for another special occasion. This restaurant truly deserves its stellar reputation!
Julie
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!
Christopher
Really really excellent. Truly a bucket list restaurant. Lovely staff know the dishes well. Very good wine pairing. Perfect evening.
Iain
I cannot imagine food being any better than the meal we had here. It was creative, delicious, decedant. Service was 10/10, energetic, supportive, & knowledgeable. With minimal input from us, our server set a delightful menu with thoughtful wine (& non-alcoholic) pairings. FYI - Getting a reservation requires planning a month in advance. I almost want to leave a bad review so it's easier for me to get a table in the future, but that would have left a stain on the wonderful evening.
Alexander
There isn't much more to say than this: it more than deserves its spot at the top of the list of best restaurants in Montreal. The food & wine pairings are next level, & the service is second to none. Bravo!
Amy
#1 resto in Canada & well deserved! Everything was perfect. Each dish was unique & flavourful. The wine pairings were excellent. Our waitress Mayou was a gem. We will be back for sure!
K
I had very high expectations for this place & it did not disappoint. Yes, the food was absolutely fantastic, but it's probably the best (personalized) service from Rose I have ever received in a restaurant ever. The wine pairing was also outstanding. Simply WOW!
John
Very welcoming place that distinguishes itself with excellent creative dishes along with great wine pairings. We really had a wonderful time overall, & will be back for sure.
