The 38 Best Restaurants in Montreal, Canada | Eater

"Mon Lapin is the hottest table in town, especially after clinching the top spot on Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants list in 2023 and again in 2024, and just recently coming in at number two for 2025. But it isn’t the “fine dining” one might expect of a restaurant with this repute — this spot runs on a warm, casual sophistication. The menu shifts daily, guided by the whims of co-chefs Marc-Olivier Frappier and Jessica Noël and the harvests brought in at nearby Jean-Talon Market. Seasonal seafood and vegetables take center stage, with dishes featuring morels, asparagus, snow crabs, sea urchin, and Ontario peaches. Even with constant reinvention, a few beloved fixtures remain: the Croque-Pétoncle (a scallop mousse sandwich), a signature buckwheat and honey cake for dessert, and a thoughtfully assembled natural wine list. Know before you go: Eastbound on the same street, the team’s latest venture, Michelin Bib Gourmand-winning Rôtisserie La Lune, pays homage to a Québécois standby: barbecue chicken, fries, coleslaw, and gravy." - Valerie Silva
