Mon Lapin Montreal

Mon Lapin sits on Rue Saint-Zotique Est, a twenty-five-minute walk from Jean-Talon Market. It holds a spot on the 2024 Canada's 100 Best list and ranks at no. 25 on the 2024 La Liste. The room runs smart and elegant, serving contemporary French creative cuisine.

The restaurant favors precision over the sprawling, heavy menus found in the city’s more traditional French bistros. While its peers in the center of town lean into formal, white-tablecloth service, Mon Lapin is significantly more restless. It is the better choice for those who find fine dining tedious, as the energy here shifts the focus from rigid protocol to an inventive, forward-thinking kitchen. You are coming for the agility of the cooking, which feels sharper than most of its competition in the immediate area.
