Québécois rotisserie / French bistro / Little Italy
Rôtisserie La Lune
THE CHICKEN DINNER, PERFECTED
Mon Lapin's team spit-roasts free-range birds in Little Italy, and it landed on Canada's 100 Best 2026 and its best-new list.

The verdict
Go. This is the Mon Lapin crowd doing a Québécois chicken dinner with real hospitality, and Tastet calls it more affordable than the parent. Order a bird with the fries and gravy, add the raviolini soup, and check the dessert list for the carrot cake. Thanksgiving Monday is the catch: we have not confirmed it is open.
- No. 21 on Canada's 100 Best 2026, also on its Best New list
- Michelin Bib Gourmand per Tastet
- Mon Lapin team
- Lunch Wed-Sat as an easier option
