This local gem was packed when we got there at 10 PM, but thank Goodness, we didn’t have to wait long. A glass of rosé with a few oysters at the bar, and our table was ready. The food we had was unquestionably very good, but you know what? Guys, you’re making one mistake – the bread you bake is pure sin, I had so much of it, I simply had to refuse myself a dessert :(
Ma place favorite pour le brunch & le lunch dans le Mile-End, toujours un excellent service & un menu surprenant ! Certainement un endroit à essayer & puis à adopter :)
I loved the details and the explosion of tastes. Freshness and intricate. The menu was seasonal and delicious.
J'ai pris le Flétan aux noix avec sa crême onctueuse.
Le service était attentionné et professionnel
J'ai tellement aimé ce petit bijou
Il y a très longtemps, j'ai entendu parler de Lawrence. Je voulais y aller, mais je n'y allais pas, car je pensais que la file d'attente pour le brunch allait être très longue (puis pas de réservations). Nous avons été assis dès notre arrivée! :) La nourriture est excellente, simple, mais extrêmement bien exécutée. Les boissons, cocktails et cafés, valent la peine d'être commandées, puis amateurs de viande: tout est fait maison! Le copain et moi n'avons rien trouvé de négatifs! Je rêve encore de l'assiette d'omelette avec du saumon fumé (maison!)... Un must en ville!
Great spot for breakfast and a casual dining experience with a group of friends. Love the beer selection and the ambience coupled with location makes this one of the must stop spots during the summer or winter alike.

For Mothers Day this year we sought out Mile-End's Lawrence, often heralded as a top brunch destination in town. This high praise was confirmed upon arrival, as we stepped into a packed dining room – not to mention a small lineup of diners – for our first visit to this five-year-old eatery.
Today's Mile-End crowd was predictably young and cool, while also incorporating a number of families with children of various ages – ours included.
The brunch menu strikes a nice balance of sucré/salé with crowd-pleasers such as scones, french toast and smoked salmon, in addition to lesser-known items including kedgeree, scrapple and bubble & squeak (say what now?).
Our waitress – also a partner here – was friendly and very knowledgeable. Naturally, we had a slew of questions concerning the aforementioned funky dish names, all of which she expertly clarified in detail.
Lawrence is a symbol of the city's modern ideal of refined yet unpretentious cuisine. Today's spectacular brunch ensured everyone at our table was more than satisfied, mothers included; mission accomplished!
My girlfriend and I went to the Lawrence for the weekend brunch and we were not disappointed. I had the crispy pork infused polenta with bacon, sunny side eggs, and quite possibly the best Toast I have ever eaten. This place delivered on food and beyond. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The decor is warm, inviting, cozy, and bright. Amazing place. Definitely a gem and will be going back next time I'm in Montreal.
The most amazing breakfast! Some of the options were a bit too adventurous for us but what we tried was amazing! The fresh homemade bread was delicious and I even went next door to their bakery to buy an extra loaf. The place isn't huge so don't get there too late or you'll have to wait
Best lamb ever! Good service and nice casual ambiance will definitely try the brunch and will certainly visit the butcher shop. I really never had such a perfect lamb steak in fact I never had lamb 'steak'
My publicist told me not to mention this but I honestly can’t help the way I feel. Sometimes when you’re in love you just want to scream it on top of a mountain, go outside their house with a radio over your head, take them to the border of two states because one of their wishes is to be in two places at once…well that’s exactly how I feel about Lawrence.

For a classic, warm and hearty English Breakfast experience, you won't get wrong at Lawrence located at the corner of st. Laurent and Fairmount. Its exterior is not that flattering as it's painted all black, and its ambience is a mix of urban contemporary and British classics, a few classic sofas and chairs are put in the waiting areas right beside the door, many contemporary paintings/photos are hanging on the walls, tables and chairs are of British styles, there are also a row of seats along a long bench with checker fabrics which reminded me a bit of Scottish traditions. Other than that, the interior is quite simple and raw with some outdoor lights strings hanging across the room and air duct exposed on the ceiling. The bar is also very simple with various drinks and glassware put on a few racks similar to those you saw in a retail store.
Since I came at the brunch time and it's my first time here, I ordered what the waiter said is their signature dish: English Breakfast. While I was waiting I saw a young lady at the bar making espresso lattes with the various artistic paintings using the froth at the top, I consequently ordered one for myself, guess what, the young lady painted a beautiful heart for me, thank you :)
My English Breakfast arrived soon after, it looks exactly like a home made breakfast which consists of two slices of bacons, a large lamb flavored sausage, some hash browns and bean paste, a sunny side egg , some perfectly sautéed white mushrooms and two halves of french toast. I must say I enjoyed every bit of it, especially the bacons which are fresher and firmer than those from supermarket, and seem to be homemade with the smells of smoke still lingering, a taste I haven't had for a long time since my childhood. Some of the reviewers complained about the small portion, that is not the case for the english breakfast after which i felt pretty full.
From what I can see on other tables, their other dishes seem to be good and temptation to me too, I'll definitely return to try them out.
Bleurg. Visited recently with much anticipation. We snagged a spot with no reso (and no welcoming vibes either) but service was very spotty. Shared a few small plates which were okay, with the exception of the sea urchin linguine which was shockingly poor and poorly executed. Feeling confused and bummed about that experience. Will return, because I really want to like this place. Fool me once, etc.
Very cute and cosy restaurant serving a variety of small plates. I had the lentils and carrots which were absolutely delicious. The lentils in vinaigrette are savoury and fresh with some acidity brought by tiny pieces of pickles. The carrots were warm and sweet with a spicy touch from the muhammarra and a nice addition of mint (which surprised me). I had these two options with a cortado (delicious coffee by the way) and I felt comfortably full. The vegan options for breakfast are limited which is a pity but the server was nice enough to help me find vegan options in the menu.
My friend had the pikelets which were buttery and fluffy, as well as a fried egg which she was very happy with.
Went around 9:15am on a Sunday and was already bustling so I would go pretty early! The location is quite small but I really appreciate that it doesn’t feel extremely busy or noisy.
Here u could have amazing food for an affordable price.
Located at the intersection of Fairmount avenue est and Boulevard Saint - Laurent.
Exquisite decoration and high quality service.
It's a nice place for a brunch or lunch.
Even just for a cup of coffee and meet a friend.
The burger was really delicious！
Don’t be fooled by simple looking menu! Fantastic flavors and presentation. Cucumber salad a must try.
We did the tasting menu and everything was delicious. Pictures posted of each dish. Started with sushi - even though it wasn't cut with sushi knife, it was still sushi grade. They could open just a sushi restaurant if they wanted. Next was sardine with bacon on toast. The cabbage can out simultaneously. Then came a ravioli dish and then to the goose. Another salad of cucumber and radish was served with the goose. I wasn't a big fan of the beer called jet lag. For dessert we had apple bread which was amazing and the tart.
This restaurant makes you realize why Montreal is a wonderful city. This is an excellent place if you are looking for quality and service. Recipes are carefully made and delicately served. Tea and coffee are well chosen. The place is not big but simply decorated. I love it and I’ll come back.
Second visit: I still confirm my wonderful last experience. Excellent ingredients and service. If you are looking for something different, this is the place to try without a doubt. The vibe is good and you feel the passion for perfection: what else!
Great spot in a hip area, perfect for foodies with a lovely wine list and excellent servers. Especially loved the items made with local crab, mmm. We will be back! The owner was especially nice to us, seated us at at table even though our reservation was at the bar. Great neighborhood joint.
I went to a brunch at Lawrence following advices from friends and websites. I was not disappointed.
The staffs are very friendly. Work fast and very professional.
Food is amazing. Different than the usual menu from other brunches. Lawrence feels like a fancy brunch. Food is amazing with a diversity of taste. I am so lucky to have the opportunity to eat a brunch there.
On the other side, the place is small and waiting to get a table can be long. But the wait is worth it.
