"2"^^ . . "I know Lawrence is known for their brunch, but we came here for dinner and couldn't be happier. It was our first group meal in Montreal, and we really went all out.\n\nLawrence does not play around when it comes to their menu. They had just about everything you could ever want. We got oysters from Massachusetts, a fish and pickled vegetable plate, charcuterie, and two of the greatest entrees I've ever had.\n\nLet's back up for a moment. Lawrence also has a butcher down the block, where they can get super fresh produce and meat. That alone should inform you of the quality of food here.\n\nFor our mains, we shared beef neck and lamb shoulder. This was for 7 people, and we still couldn't finish. It was THAT much food. Just look at the photos I uploaded.\n\nThe beef neck fell off the bone and has this wonderful meaty sauce. It also came with a side of roasted/fried cauliflower, which was amazing. Seriously the best cauliflower I've ever had. We saw our waitress actually leave the restaurant to go pick up a fresh head of cauliflower. Joked about it with her.\n\nThe lamb shoulder was a gigantic hunk of meat served in a Dutch oven. SO MUCH FOOD. Served in a broth with a ton of vegetables. So incredibly tender.\n\nAlso had a few cocktails, while others had wine or whiskey. Lots of options here. It was super laid back, and all of the waitresses were super friendly and put up with our manly hijinks.\n\nThe bathroom also has the coolest wallpaper ever.\n\nCan't recommend Lawrence enough!"^^ .
