Belle ambiance & bon service
Les plats sont vraiment bon, la carte intéressante & variée!
Il y a du choix sans pour autant en avoir trop non plus
J'aurais toutefois tendance à trouver qu'il est mieux de commander son/ses plats & non de les partager comme recommandé
Les portions sont entre le petit & le suffisant pour deux
Les desserts étaient par contre délicieux, un vraie réussite!
J'avoue avoir été un peu déçue. Attention c'est vraiment très bon, très bien cuisiné
Mais avec les différents classement, tout ce qui se dit sur le restaurant je m'attendais à quelque chose d'un peu plus marquant culinairement parlant (peut être avais je trop d'attente?)
It's hard not to give this small, unpretentious gem five stars. First of all, you will not find a more hospitable restaurant anywhere in the world. I mean that. This is a down-to-earth, casual, cozy bistro. Positive energy abounds. The question I have is why it's rated by some pubs as the best restaurant in Canada & fifth best in North America by the NY Times. It's not that it's undeserving of accolades, but it may or not be the best restaurant in Montreal. One could argue. Enjoyed both pastas, chicken liver mousse with radishes & fried chicken, & asparagus salad. The halibut was the only disappointment. It was a bit bland & the sauce failed to elevate it. I'll definitely return on my next visit to Montreal.

I chose Mon Lapin for my birthday dinner, & it did not disappoint. The entire experience was outstanding - service, food, & ambiance. ROSE specifically deserves a special shout out. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the foods & wines, full of fun energy, gracious, & hospitable to the point of wishing me a happy birthday numerous times. Such a vibey individual, & an excellent mixologist. Everyone I interacted with made me feel welcome to the point I stayed for three hours to immerse myself in the experience. The food is fresh, organic, & satisfying without making one feel stuffed. Definitely farm / coast to table. The razor clams with spicy breadcrumbs, barbecue cucumbers with raw baby shrimp, pasta tossed with shredded cod & zucchini, & the halibut with nettle pesto were all fantastic. The ice cream sandwich was the perfect dessert portion. The wines are natural & delicious. The gin cocktail - fantastic. Even the owner is present & engaged - conversing with patrons behind the bar, throughout the floor, checking in with her servers - the staff is 10/10! Warm, inviting, thoughtful, & they seem to truly enjoy working together. Mon Lapin certainly lives up to its hype, & I highly recommend it!
I cannot say enough about this place. We sat at the counter & had the best service we've had in a long time. Rose was exceeding helpful & very generous with her time & recommendations. She carefully selected the best items for our meal & we really enjoyed my husband's birthday celebration.
I'm sure the rest of the menu is phenomenal but the dishes loved the best were the crudo & the lobster. & I'm not even a big dessert person OR a coffee drinker but the chocolate tart with whipped coffee butter on top was outstanding.
Friendly, efficient service. Got the tasting menu & it was a great selection. Wine suggestion worked well. Cocktails were alright. The suggested aperitifs were great. Nice decor.
Since dining here once in 2022, the ambiance, feel, & quality of the dishes are still exceptional but even more memorable!
Past desserts, including the classic Gateau Sarassin, were enjoyable & have always been part of the menu - while seasonal dishes like the half lobster dish with buckwheat sauce, accompanied by rhubarbs, & perfect rectangular chunks of fried potato intricately layered together into a whole were new, refreshing, & made the experience special!
The white-painted timber roofs, walls, decor &, playful illustrations & installations highlighting the infamous rabbit the restaurant has named itself, all helped to create a whimsical, magical, & warm ambiance that makes me want to dine here .
Grateful to have enjoyed a meal on the first Friday of June, & look forward to seeing how this restaurant continues to grow & become even more exceptional!
I just finished the most wonderful dinner at Mon Lapin. I was lucky enough to snag a seat at the bar as a walk in, really happy they were able to accommodate me without a reservation. The bartender, Rose, walked me through the menu & various options they had, I ended up going with their tasting menu. Rose also made great cocktails, had phenomenal wine recommendations, & was so much fun to talk to. She was a big part of why this dinner was so enjoyable.
Each course was brought out & explained by staff & the pacing between courses was just right. My meal included:
- Confit leeks with potato chips & smoked mussel mayo
- Razor clam with spicy breadcrumbs & littleneck clam with green onions, horseradish, & parm
- The iconic crispy scallop sandwich with ramp mayo
- Sea bass crudo with capers, radish, shallot, microgreens, & brown butter
- Ricotta dumplings/ravioli with motels & radish greens in a creamy butter sauce
- Halibut in nettle cream sauce with nettle chips
- Duck two ways with white & green asparagus, strawberry sauce, an herby asparagus sauce, & jus
- An ice cream sandwich with almond & sesame cookies, olive oil ice cream, & fennel pollen
- A fudgey chocolate cake with amaro & coffee sauce
The tasting menu ended up being 9 courses for $110 CAD, a very good price in my opinion, especially considering the quality, time, & care put into each dish. There was not a single dish I disliked or thought was just okay, each one was unique & so good. Service was excellent & the cocktails & wine were delicious. I have nothing but good things to say, I've never been more pleased with a place that I went to on a whim.
This was the highlight of my trip hands down. If I ever make it back to Montreal, this will be my first stop.
