| - Exploring Mile End for the day, I decided to try Lawrence for lunch. It's situated on the corner, a cozy space with large windows, letting in lots of natural light. The place is simplistic in decor, using neutrals, white and black chairs, and a grey and white plaid pattern for their banquette seats.
Arriving around 1pm on a Tuesday afternoon, there was a short wait for a table. While waiting, I observed the attention to details as the servers were setting up the other tables. Even when rearranging smaller tables to create a larger one, they made sure that white chairs were on one side, and black chairs on the other. As I sat down, I was then immediately greeted by my server.
The menu had a good selection of small plates, as well as some larger ones. I decided on a steak tartare and an arctic char and brussel sprouts with almonds. The tartare was delicious, freshly chopped, and a perfect amount of salt and seasoning. One of the best I've had. The arctic char plate was a light salad, with cut brussel sprouts and slivers of almonds adding some texture to the plate.
I like Lawrence for its simplicity of their food. The service is excellent; I never felt rushed to finish my meal. The space is a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal.
