“Good food and great service. Particularly from Mika at the order counter. Hands down the best fast food employee I have ever met. Polite, kind, helpful, empathetic. A pearl!”

“Great service and wonderfully delicious food. Quite an exhausive wine list. Would definitely recommend this restaurant yearning for fine French dinning with a creative modern taste.”

“I heard good things about Elena and I understand the hype now! We tried a lot of different kind of pizza and they were all very good. I generally prefer the ones with tomato sauce but I enjoyed trying different flavours. The pizza with the potatoes and the one with the mushrooms was nice to try. I didn’t enjoy the 4 cheese one but that’s just my preference. Their dough was the star of the show 10/10! It was delicious!”

“This place is simply amazing. The food is creative and delicious. The service is attentive and friendly. The vibe is casual and cozy. The highlight of my meal was the foie gras dessert. Yeah, it sounds kind of wrong but tastes extremely right. Almost like a banana foster with duck liver instead of ton of butter. Wine list is impressive as well. They serve d'yquem for dessert if someone is willing to drop major bucks.”

“The food was incredible. We had the cod croquette, maguro don, duck mazemen and pudding with a bit of sake. Everything was delicious, better than any croquette, duck or tuna we've ever had before. I just can't possibly emphasize enough how much I recommend it.The atmosphere was nice, pretty chill, the tables were quite close to each other but it's pretty common in such restaurants. No loud music which we really appreciated.The service was nice although they lacked professionalism. For example, they'll let you wait more than 10min (without apologizing for the wait) if you're polite and wait in the entrance to get seated, even if they saw you. I learnt from the people who came after us that you have to come in & stand in the middle of the way, only then will they happily seat you right away..”

“It’s amazing. They took the time to give coffee and umbrellas to people who were waiting to come in. Who does that? They do. Go now for the Cabane a sucre platter”

“I had a beautiful dining experience here on April 25. Service was friendly, attentive and provided knowledgeable recommendations. The lamb meatball spaghetti was superb. Well curated wine list - suited to the restaurant. Cool, fun, interesting and delicious! I will definitely be back & highly recommend you to visit :)”

“I would have to say that this was absolutely one of the best meals we’ve ever had!!! We started with a plate of Oysters that were perfect! We had the Arctic Char for 2 with a side of Gnocchi and Caesar salad the fusion of flavour in the sauce on the Char was heavenly. The fish was done to perfection!! The Gnocchi was unlike any we had ever had and the herb oil drizzle highlighted the perfect texture and flavour of the gnocchi. The deconstructed Caesar was perfect!! We finished the meal off with the Maple Creme Brûlée. The entire staff were friendly supportive and knowledgeable from the moment we walked in!! C’est Manifique!! Bravo!!!”

“Vin Mon Lapin is THE restaurant to absolutely try in Montreal!!! We find it at the top of the ranking of the 100 best restaurants in Canada and it fully deserves its 1st place! From starter to dessert, it is a unique experience of textures and flavors thanks to the creativity of chef Marc-Olivier Frappier. My favorite starter was without a doubt the classic “scallop croque”, Yummy!!! My favorite dish: pork shoulder on a bed of spelled… so delicious! And finally my favorite dessert (they were all sooo good): maple cannolo. It’s an experience to be repeated often, especially because the menu varies according to the seasons and availability, so I’ll definitely be going back very, very soon!”

“Everything is super nice! The food is good (the fries are delicious), the alcohol menu is impeccable and the service (from Sabrina) was attentive and warm! I recommend!”

“Best restaurant in Montreal. Food, atmosphere, service are excellent. Just try once and I guarantee you will always want to come back. Кушайте на здоровье и получайте истинное удовольствие от русской и европейской кухни. Особая благодарность хозяйке за её труд и доброту души. СПАСИБО!!!”

“On a adoré ! cocktail, huitres et tartare de bar, poisson frit en entrée, suivi des parpadelles et de la pieuvre, sans oublier les cannolis miammmmm! Excellent service et ambiance dynamique. Nous reviendrons.”

“The atmosphere is trendy and inviting and the service was impeccable without being pretentious. Each dish was delicious while featuring seasonal ingredients. We particularly liked the radish salad. Nice selections of natural wines and cocktails. Do not miss!”

“On le connait bien pour son brunch mais L'avenue sur Notre Dame c'est aussi LA place où aller pour un délicieux souper dans une ambiance branchée et à la fois décontractée. Le beef cake est simplement délicieux, rien de similaire dans d'autres restos. La burrata et son accompagnement de legumes, un incontournable. Les cockails sont succulents, frecious precious mon grand préféré. Une serveuse tout sourire même quand elle doit gérer une reservation de 24 personnes ! La musique et la déco unique (même dans les toilettes) pour couronner le tout. En date ou en groupe d'amis, un souper à l'avenue c'est le bonheur garanti !”

“A great French restaurant, with amazing food, wine list, and service. If you go during the day time, try to book à table under the glass ceiling! I really liked their appetizers and desserts the most, their paté was amazing, and the bone marrow, chèvre salade, grilled octopus, duck confit were also really tasty. The lemon tart was one of the best I've had in Montreal.”

“5/5 from the setting to the food to the server. Everything was spectacular! The best dish I had all night was the beef carpaccio!! It's a must if you're going to order an appie! This restaurant is WORTH the hype. Thank you Chuck Hughes for the amazing experience.”

“I like how the staff didn’t bother using any French on me and assumed I was an English speaking American. ? The food was amazing. Staff was great. I was under the weather so I didn’t get to engage as much with the restaurant or people and ordered takeout to eat at home. The energy of the restaurant was positive and of course smelled great.I ordered the spicy wing combo with spaghetti and it was the pick me up I needed. I opted for spaghetti as the side and still got blessed by the team with rogue delicious spicy fries along with a delicious dipping dipping sauce. As someone who is used to fried chicken in the southern United States, this was a top tier fried chicken meal.”

“Finally an edomae style omakase in Montréal! each nigiri was a piece of art and the kaiseki was amazing. Even if it was a take out, it was well worth it. Can't wait to try the experience at the restaurant!”

“Fun atmosphere, good drinks, delicious brownies and kind staff. Plus the original way to get in the building through a hidden door and doorbell was a nice touch adding to the overall experience.”

“A success from the start. Welcoming team, warm atmosphere and a menu to make you drool. Mackerel, rabbit, spanking, vegetables and even more... Everything cooked to perfection and with respect for the seasons. One visit is not enough.”

“On a adoré ! cocktail, huitres et tartare de bar, poisson frit en entrée, suivi des parpadelles et de la pieuvre, sans oublier les cannolis miammmmm! Excellent service et ambiance dynamique. Nous reviendrons.”

“Superb atmosphere. All the staff are courteous, they know how to gauge customers and are tactful at all times. Well done, you are a great team. The food is excellent, it's delicious.”

“Brendan and his team made this such a wonderful and fun experience! The food is so good, I was solo and ordered the half portion of salad twice (!) Don’t miss if in Montreal!”

“L'ambiance du restaurant en soirée était parfaite pour notre groupe de 5. La serveuse Ève a réussi à me charmer avec son charisme et son humour et faire de notre soirée un évènement que nous n'oublierons pas de si tôt. À refaire sans contredit!”

“Simply one of the best restaurant on earth. Because it blends gorgeous and generous food, friendly and passionate service and a unique relaxed and cramped atmosphereCan't get enough of this place!”

“Went to several great tables recently and this place didn't disappoint. Some risk, would have loved to see more creativity from such a renowned place (that's why 4 stars and not 3). Portions were on the small side (I took 2 appetizers). Service however was on point, taste was excellent and cooking done perfect. Very picky of me to give 4 stars but Vin Mon Lapin the night prior and Monarque on Thursday were a match, with a little extra. I would come back to club Chasse et Pêche. Very close tin mu book to 5 stars (4.5 can't give 1/2).”

“Top-notch snack bakery, friendly seated area, impeccable service, quality of products and salmon-filled croissants. Tasty chocolate bread, cookie ? excellent.Dietary restrictions: Talk to them about nut allergies”

“I was looking forward to coming here for a while and what luck ! They are participating in burger week! I got the truffe burger with potato wedges and cha cha colada “milkshake”. Everything was so perfectly delicious. It’s not amazing because it is vegan, it’s amazing period. The staff was very friendly and informative. Im looking forward to my next visit - very soon. Oh and they have other restaurants with different concepts and menus im exciting to go try out too!”

“Wow. We read about how Good this was, but now we've experienced it for ourselves. This is a must for a luxurious meal in Montreal. Lobster spaghetti was to die for, and it was the best oysters I've ever had.”

“ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS.Perfect balance of sweet and salty, fluffy and crispy, buttery and flaky…all the things Whatever you plan to order, get extra. Especially if you are visiting. Yes, it is that good.”
