Montreal: A true culinary melting pot, diverse, and teeming with talent. There are so many options and neighbourhoods to eat your way through each with their own style, flair, and tasty offerings. Then again, some dishes stand out above the rest.
Let's explore what I eat at some of my favourite spots around town.
Croque-Pétoncle at Mon Lapin
You would think that finishing Number 1 on Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants in 2023 may come with some ego and pretentiousness, but not at Mon Lapin.
No, Mon Lapin is all about "fun dining". This is exactly the type of establishment that we should be proud to have representing the best of Quebec and Canada on the international stage, and is a well-deserved title for Marc-Olivier, Jessica, Vanya, Alex, Marc-Antoine, and the entire team at Mon Lapin.
