Lawrence is where it's at for brunch. Unfortunately we were not able to catch it for brunch, but lunch instead on a Tuesday. The restaurant is cute and small but good thing we made a ressie. Our service was prompt and polite.
The menu isn't extensive; we started off with a delicious but simple green salad (well dressed with salt, olive oil), and super yummy octopus toast, perfectly seated on a bed of spinach and roasted red pepper aioli (yummy). Best dish we had.
We shared the delicious sausage dish, spicy and crispy in a bed of onions and legumes and some kind of mayo. It was a bit salty though. We also shared the burger which was fluffy and fatty. Came with really good potato wedge fries and mayo.
Come back for brunch to get your hands on the donuts, that's our biggest regret! Lawrence was a nice change for something more culinary driven, and a break from the brown sauce nature of Montreal food.
