Best restaurant I've ever been to in Canada. They seem like they would be deeply offended if you didn't have an amazing experience. That's a list art in hospitality.

I purchased a Mon Lapin gift certificate for my parents as an anniversary gift, a place I’ve supported for years as someone who lives in the neighbourhood and continued to support during the pandemic. I received an email clearly stating the certificate would be ready for pickup anytime after 2pm. Trying to be considerate, I arrived ten minutes before opening so I wouldn’t interfere with dinner service once clients started arriving. I called to explain why I was there while standing outside, got no answer, knocked and showed the email confirming it was ready. Instead of simply handing it over, I was made to wait outside until 5pm and was met with attitude for even being there. For a restaurant currently riding the high of being named number one in Canada, the hospitality was nowhere to be found. Had this not been a gift, I would have asked for a refund. It will be the last time I set foot there. There are way too many excellent restaurants in Montreal to waste my time at an establishment that treats its customers with arrogance.

The food and atmosphere were wonderful, the wine fantastic and the service next level. Our server, Fiona, took time to pair our dishes with absolutely delicious wines, and 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 and each one was unique and delicious! Do yourself a favour and visit Mon Lapin!

Expectations were extremely high given all the recent accolades and I have to say I was ready to be disappointed. Marco, Jessica, Vanya, and their wonderful team blew my expectations out of the water.
Dishes like the foie cookies with habanada jelly, and the conserve leeks with fermented chips and mussel mayo are nostalgic in flavour, but creative and 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 and warm.
We left having gone through half the menu, and I did not feel heavy or overly full at all.
Merci Mon Lapin and until next time!

Mon Lapin, awarded 2nd best in North America for good reason. Immaculate and warm service. From taking your coat, to explaining the menu, Mon Lapin treats you like a friend. Cozy and modern vibes inside bring good energy.
Food was excellent with creative presentation and flavors. If you’re in Montreal, stop by and try the scallop sandwich and chicken! Leek and profiterole was good too.

Mon Lapin is a near perfect spiritual adventure. Yes, the food is incredible. Yes, the croque-petoncle was brought to earth by the same aliens who gave us the pyramids and Stonehenge. But it is the people who take Mon Lapin to six stars. Everyone is obsessed with ensuring their guests have an incredible experience. I’ve encountered this level of obsession in New Orleans but nowhere else. Thank you for inviting me into your home. PLEASE open a restaurant in Toronto.
200$+ per person's worth it. Notably delicious Sea urchin.

Extraordinary…. From the moment we sat, to the moment we walked out the door… They left no stone unturned, hit every sensory… Service was immaculate, food was brilliant and the ambiance is all that you could hope for and more… The badge of “Best restaurant in Canada” official or unofficial, is well deserved.

The service was great, which is the only reason I’m giving this place three stars instead of two. Overall, it felt overrated. We waited over 20 minutes to be seated (which was fine), but once we sat down, we were told there were no main dishes left, none at all, which makes no sense if you’re still seating guests. The scallop dish we tried was delicious, but when we ordered a second round, we were told they had run out. We’ve eaten at many restaurants across Montreal and had high expectations for this one, but unfortunately there are several others in the city that we found far superior.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine warmth. Even though the restaurant was absolutely packed, the service never missed a beat. Every person on the team seemed fully in sync, effortlessly anticipating what guests needed before they even asked. It’s rare to see that level of teamwork executed so smoothly.
We ordered: • Le croque-pétoncle (scallop sandwiches) • Brochette de langue de boeuf (beef tongue) • Boeuf de pâturage (raw grass-fed beef) ✨Oursin QC (sea urchin): It was silky, and has that nutty toasted richness from the brown butter.
✨✨Parfait de foie (liver parfait): It was smooth, and velvety without being heavy. It's the kind of dish that lingers in your memory long after the meal ends. I still occasionally talk about it.
Every dish was thoughtful and balanced, not a single bite needed extra seasoning. The flavors had depth, and precision. And though the scallop sandwiches and dessert didn’t quite hit the same high notes for me, but everything else more than made up for it.
Amazing food and amazing service! I can't wait to be back again and just for that parfait de foie alone.
