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.
By far one of the best dinning experiences.
Food was amazingly fun & super tasty 😋
Service was beyond expectations & attention to detail was great!
Everything was simply phenomenal!
One of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had. Every single dish that we ordered was excellent. The scallop sandwich was life changing. The wine selection was comprehensive, unique & well priced. The service was truly superb, friendly, knowledgeable & attentive. Certainly a highlight in Montreal.
