The food & atmosphere were wonderful, the wine fantastic & the service next level. Our server, Fiona, took time to pair our dishes with absolutely delicious wines, & explained every dish on the menu. She really took the time to make our experience unforgettable, as well as all of the other staff.

We had 6 dishes & each one was unique & delicious! Do yourself a favour & visit Mon Lapin!

Everything was exceptional, from the food & wine to the service & ambiance. It was an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. I genuinely enjoyed every part of the evening & would highly recommend Vin Mon Lapin. I would absolutely return.

Is this the best restaurant in Canada? Who knows. The hype even years after opening remains pretty strong.

That said, there are few better representations of creative French/Quebeçois cooking in a small plates format, with a wine list this huge.

Everything tastes'French' despite the many subtle nods to other cuisines, like a a scallop mousse on bread that is clearly the Canadian version of shrimp toast.

My partner & I went here to celebrate our anniversary. We had a reservation, but when we arrived, we still waited about 20 minutes because the place was absolutely jam-packed-which already tells you how good it is.

What I really loved about this restaurant is that they have a wine sommelier who truly knows their wines. They take the time to understand your taste & even let you try the wine before you decide, which made the experience feel very thoughtful & personalized.

The food was truly memorable. Every dish we ordered practically melted in our mouths-no complaints at all. My partner's favorite was the leeks; the flavors were perfectly balanced & gone in seconds. Mine was the sea urchin-I was in complete awe & honestly speechless after the first bite.

I will definitely be coming back. Now I understand why this is considered one of the best restaurants in Canada. If you're ever visiting Montreal, this place is a must-try.

Memorable dinner at Vin Mon Lapin.

This restaurant often tops Canada's best lists but after a disappointing time at Le Violon (probably victim of its success after Trudeau's visit), I was skeptical but man did it deliver.

First the service, something which is very hit & miss in Quebec, this was the definition of attentive service without being over the top.

The wines were fantastic, & well-deserved Michelin blessings to the sommelière. We tried yellow wine which was quite unique & honestly this spot could easily become my favourite wine bar in the city.

The food - Flawless experience. Unique flavours & methods, chicken in a sourdough crust was spectacular, the pork cheeks was melt in the mouth, the beetroots were fresh & creamy, the mousse in little rabbit biscuits was cute but delicious. Special mention to the sea urchins, I couldn't help exclaim my joy when the table next to us ordered it but they were non-chalant.

This one is a repeat & definitely a spot not to be missed.

Not sure what the whole hype / difficulty to reserve is about. Food is bland at best & alcohol over priced. Never was much a fan of French/quebecois food, just bland flavors, salty & fatty. But if that's your thing, go for it.

What they do here best is their ability to push & sell you drinks through'free sampling'. If you sit at the bar like I did, the barmaid is incredible at making you feel welcome & serve you free samples of wine so the'appetite' to spend opens up. It's a brilliant sales tactic.

Great atmosphere though. 300$ bill for 2 main dishes, 1 entree, 2 desserts & 6 drinks. Mediocre imo.

Exceptional meal! The food was very creative, thoughtful & delicious. It did a great job showcasing local ingredients. The service was on par to Michelin places we've been - very attentive & warm. Great wine. Cost atmosphere on a snowy winter night. Would definitely visit.

Expectations were extremely high given all the recent accolades & I have to say I was ready to be disappointed. Marco, Jessica, Vanya, & their wonderful team blew my expectations out of the water.

Dishes like the foie cookies with habanada jelly, & the conserve leeks with fermented chips & mussel mayo are nostalgic in flavour, but creative & fun in their execution.

Their wine list is nothing short of impressive, with many references you'd have a hard time finding outside of a passionate collectors personal cave. Prices are also very reasonable by the glass relative to most wine bars around.

Atmosphere is what you hope for with Montreal dining; far from pretentious but very attentive & warm.

We left having gone through half the menu, & I did not feel heavy or overly full at all.

Merci Mon Lapin & until next time!

Once again, we were blown away by the creativity & taste of the food but also by the warm , high quality service of the many staff members who did everything to make our dinner enjoyable. Kudos for promoting local cuisine & supporting local wine makers which exceeded our expectations. C'est la 4ieme fois que je visitais ce restaurant, meme chose pour mes parents qui s'étaient joints à nous & nous y retournerons. Nous avons tout simplement adoré! Merci aux propriétaires & le staff, votre service attentionné & la qualité de vos recommandations ont agrémenté notre soirée!

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.
