We ordered everything on the menu unfortunately half the things were wayyy too salty or stasted weird. Mostly all the meat dishes. I particularly didn't like the uni with sabayon sauce.. it tasted.. off
Service depends. My friends said Julie was great but our server of the night was a little bit cold & never talked to us. Busgirl was rude & kept wanting to take our plates away despite we only ate half of the food.
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.
We had dinner towards evening as the sun was going down & the room was flooded with natural light. I really loved the atmosphere here. The service was absolutely wonderful. Big thanks to the team. I wasn't amazed by the food. I wanted to love everything. Most of what we ordered was just ok. The wine was out of this world. The wine list is amazing. Kudos to whomever is running the wine program. Yes. I would come back to try more wine.
The rose & the orange glasses of wine we started with were out of this world. I ordered a bottle of Giosue 2023 from Niagra that was a great pleasure to have.
As far as what we had to eat:
BBQ sweetbreads w/morels - The sweetbreads were dried out from the BBQ cooking method. The morels tasted like they were reconstituted from dry vs fresh. It could have been the BBQ cook that dried them out as well.
The halibut - The fish was fresh. The sauce was good. Overall, the dish was ok.
The clams & spaghetti - Outstanding. Made with beautifully crafted fresh pasta. The pasta absorbed the flavor of the sauce. It was a lovely dish.
The chicken - Was just ok. Didn't understand the need for fish eggs. I love fish eggs. The combo did not work for me.
The scallop sandwich - Lacked flavor.
The razor clams - Lacked flavor. Beautiful presentation. This dish & most others needed salt.
Tomato & lobster - Flat in flavor. The freshness of the tomato didn't really come through. The foam overwhelmed everything.
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.
Fantastic food, great wines, impeccable service. We tried many items on the menu including the tuna tartare with noisette sauce & the off menu romana soup. One was elevated & the other comfort... But both were heavenly good!!! Thank you Vanya, Marco & Alex for your hospitality, & John for taking me to VML. A night to remember!
Vin Mon Lapin is such a fantastic (& almost typical) restaurant on the Montreal food scene. The design & decor are fantastic, service is very quick, there are a ton of staff members, but the food left something to be desired & I feel when assessing it against its recent award of #1 restaurant in Canada, it makes you wonder, "did I just come on an off night for the ever changing menu?" Service was fast & attentive. Tons of staff floating around to serve you, & very knowledgeable on the menu. I found though, sitting at the bar, I was able to watch constant social gatherings from the staff everywhere - there were just TOO many for the shift. They could have spent more time serving, or upselling, or wowing, whatever it is they need to do. But gathering in pockets & chitchatting always looks odd. Getting to the food, the tartare was outstanding, with these little tiny cubes of something that had the texture of a firmer cheese - it was texturally fantastic. The bread on the dish was a soft, made a la minute almost pita like bread, soft, very ripable, but it lacked anything to it for it to be desirable. It was just kind of there. It wasnt stable enough to scoop, it was too floppy to hold anything so you either took a bite of tartare & then shoved a piece of torn bread in your mouth to enjoy together, or you ate them on their own. The soft shell crab was outstanding. It had a beautifully made sauce gribiche & was laced thoughout with tarragon which is my favourite herb. The crab sauce complimented well & I could have eaten plenty of those. As I get to the "unconfit duck leg", this was not well executed. It was sooooo tough. It was hard to cut & even harder to chew. I would have had a more tender cut of meat if I bought an eye of round steak from Maxi & cooked it to well & sliced it going with the grain. Very very disappointing dish. The sauce though was great & the baby turnips were excellent, super quality & packed with flavour. That main course just really fell flat. The dessert was a nice & refreshing sorbet, although, it was sorbet, nothing really inspiring. Overall - I would say it was a fantastic restaurant, just not number 1 in Canada or Montreal. I would welcome the opportunity to return & try some different dishes as the bartender told me the dishes change out every few days, but I can't say I would return with so many other great restaurant in MTL to visit. Don't get me wrong it was still a fantastic meal & definitely a top 5 in Montreal, but it doesn't hold a candle to Au Pied de Cochon, or Béba. Congratulations on your award - #1 in Canada is incredible. Most constantly strive to get better to maintain though, & feedback does help you grow.
We went here with high expectations, & the food & service did not disappoint. Our server helped us select a fantastic wine, after we described our taste preference & budget. She then curated three courses based off the wine, & every dish presented us with a "wow" moment. Raw sole with radish & brown butter, wow. Rehydrated carrots with smoked oyster sauce, wow. Buckwheat cake for dessert, wow. The list goes on & on. Thank you for a memorable evening, we will be back next time we head to Montreal!
Nous avons été six, menu fixe . Tous ont été décu, , les plats sont servis trois plats par service, généreux , mais ceci fait que les sauce sont mélangés, entrées avec plats froids & chauds Pour95$pp, malheureusement pas de choses fancy, la viande est joue de porc, seul plat un peu ok est tartare d'agneau. Pain avec petit morceau de beurre servi une seule fois. J'ai eu meilleur souvenir de ce restaurant. C'est triste mais j'ai la bizarre impression que le succès leur a fait du tort.
First of all the service is really amazing. My friends & I were asking questions about the dishes all night & the servers were super knowledgeable & nice about it. Food is really good & all the dishes are super thought-out, my favorites were the raw fish, the carrots in mussel escabeche sauce (will be dreaming about that sauce), & the pork cheek. But I have to say the absolute best part of the meal was the sour cherry sorbet with rice pudding on top. One of the best things I have ever eaten in my life & I am really hoping they keep it on the menu because I would go back & eat that dessert forever.
Is this place worth the hype?
In a word...yes.
Everything was on point. Menu variety & quality? Oh yeah.
Wine & beer list? Totally.
Overall feel of this place? You bet.
I was flying solo & felt like a king here. I loved everything I had, the urchin, the radishes with chicken pâté, both scallop dishes, the ricotta pasta with mushroom sauce, the vin jaune Baba, it was all awesome, with the accompanying wine suggested by the waiter perfect.
Not cheap, but frankly it was worth every penny. I had a surreal experience & any foodie would love it here.
