We had high hopes for Mon Lapin given reviews and hype online. Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow tonight evidenced by waiting fifty minutes for soughdough bread for example. Other covers who arrived significantly later than us received bread and starters earlier which only added salt into the wound. To further disappointment, one of our main courses arrived cold and was thus sent back to the kitchen. The rectified dish then arrived when the rest of the table were finishing up their own mains. Some positives were the gnudi was delicious and the front of house team were apologetic (and as a gesture of good will amended the cheque to reflect certain disappointments tonight). In light of our experience amidst the sea of positive reviews from others, perhaps this was an anomaly from the restaurant.

An absolutely incredible dinner, the best I had on my visit to Montreal, and the best I’ve had for some time.
The food and wine were stellar as expected, but what truly impressed me was the warm and attentive service, particularly from Guillaume, who went out of his way to make our night special. However, the overall vibe of everyone was fantastic—from the host table to the runners.
I can’t wait to go back, and recommend that anyone visiting the city should prioritize coming in.

WOW what a wonderful experience! The meal was fantastic and the staff were awesome. Every one of our selections were prepared perfectly. The wine was paired to our meal with the staffs guidance and really topped of the whole evening.

Definitely worth the hype! Food, service, experience was perfect. Amazing wine. Casual and comfortable vibe with high end food. Would recommend trusting your server to give you a great experience. We’ll be back for sure!

A Culinary Gem: An Unforgettable Evening at Vin Mon Lapin
Dining at Vin Mon Lapin is not just a meal — it’s an artful experience that engages every sense. Each dish is crafted with precision, creativity, and a deep understanding of flavor balance. Our evening was nothing short of spectacular. Mon Lapin is a place where each dish tells a story, where the plating is as inspired as the flavors, and where passion is palpable in every course. An absolute must-visit for any lover of refined, imaginative cuisine. The atmosphere is warm, the service is thoughtful, and the food is next-level. If you’re into seasonal, inventive cuisine, Mon Lapin is a must-visit.

Great place with awesome food and an incredible atmosphere. Wait staff was knowledgeable but seemed to slightly lack full ability to conveying it to guests in a palatable and equitable way. Enjoyed our dinner and would never hold it against the place. Will be back and a great evening.

Mon Lapin delivered one of the most memorable dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. From the food to the atmosphere to the impeccable service, everything was top-tier.
Special kudos to Rose, who was absolutely wonderful—knowledgeable, warm, and made us feel completely taken care of throughout the evening.
The dishes were nothing short of spectacular. The croque-misère with scallops (forgive me if I’ve misspelled it!) was rich, balanced, and perfectly executed. The razor clams were delicate and flavorful, and the sourdough chicken was cooked to perfection—crispy, juicy, and deeply satisfying. Every plate felt creative, thoughtful, and beautifully composed.
I would love to get in touch with the owners of Mon Lapin to express my appreciation personally and to coordinate future reservations. This place is truly special, and I can’t wait to return.

Overly pretentious but lacks in the quality of food and annoying staff

THE BEST chicken and pork cheek + lobster sausage I’ve ever had in my entire life. Very cozy atmosphere and super friendly staff. I enjoyed every minute of this evening.

This restaurant was the star of our trip to Montreal. Everything exceeded expectations - the food was incredible, every dish was unique but not over the top or pretentious or trying too hard, just clever bites of joy. The service and overall ambience also deserve a nod as this completed the perfect package that is Mon Lapin.
One of the best dinning and eating experiences I’ve had. Definitely worth the cost which fell well within what you’d expect given quality and experience you are getting.

Absolutely adored our experience here. Dimitri served us at the bartop & we let him pick everything for us. Cocktails, appetizers & dessert. Wish I had gone with more than 1 other person so I could have ordered/tried more dishes on the menu! It’s worth making a reservation & was one of our favourite dining experiences while in Montreal.

Amazing service and food in a decontracted setting. We particularly enjoyed the warm buttery oysters and lobster spaghetti. Great wine selection. Service was amazing and attentive.

Voted Canada best restaurant for a reason. The chef has prepared some incredible dishes. So simple yet so flavourful. They are very unique yet delicious. The service here was also second to none. Very kind and friendly staff. Presentation was on point. Must have in Montreal!
