Reviews For Restaurant Mélisse

I went there with some coworkers for a late night supper and we loved it. The tapas were amazing. We took almost one of each on the menu and shared. The service was amazing. Lots of little touches that make your eveming the more pleasant. You have to ask for their chocolate pie (sorry I don't have the exact description) but it was superb. Great place to go to.

Went on V-day. The way the staff spoke about the food and took such good care of us showed how passionate they were about this restaurant, and our meal spoke for itself. Some of the food we ate was off-menu, like the dessert and the larger meals, but they made sure to mention it to us. I strongly recommend the scrumptious “verte de la fermette” salad along with the “courgette”! The fried onion and vinegar from the salad was unlike anything I tasted before, and the courgette despite not tasting like actual courgette, was so delectable thanks to the cheese we could deep into with it. The portion sizes were also perfect, and the drinks not only complemented well with every dish, but tasted so different from one another that it made every dish taste uniquely. Anyhow, I’m looking to go back to try more from them there for sure! I just couldn’t get tired of trying new things out!

We had our wedding at Melisse, and it was nothing short of amazing! Benoit and the entire team at Melisse are wonderful. The food and drinks were excellent, all of our guests were raving about it. The restaurant itself is beautiful and just perfect for a small wedding. We cannot recommend it enough. Our big day was a huge success and that was mostly thanks to the team at Melisse. We look forward to many more meals here in the years to come. Merci Benoit and team! Xoxo

We had a pleasant Saturday brunch during the Grand Prix weekend. It was a beautiful morning, so we sat on the patio to enjoy the sun. I had an iced latte and their pancakes of the moment, which had apple and rhubarb. The pancakes were some of the tastiest and fluffiest I've had, and the apple and rhubarb paired nicely. The staff was attentive and very kind. Overall, would love to come back when back in Montreal!

We had the most incredible experience here! We were a group of 11 celebrating a Bachelorette party over the weekend, and everything was just amazing. Our waiter and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of, even making sure to confirm allergies and food restrictions. The service was friendly, attentive, and super professional, even with such a large group. And the food? Absolutely delicious! Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented, portions were also really generous. If you're planning a special celebration or just want a fantastic meal with great service, I can't recommend this place enough. We’ll definitely be back!

I recently celebrated my birthday at this amazing restaurant, and once again, they completely exceeded my expectations. I’ve been here many times before, and it’s always been a favorite—which is exactly why I chose it for such a special occasion. Since we were a large group, we had a set menu—and it was absolutely incredible. Every dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and there were even leftovers to enjoy afterward! The quality and flavor of the food were as outstanding as ever. What truly made the brunch extra special was the service. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate my requests and made sure every detail was perfect. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made the celebration feel truly personal and memorable. Highly, highly recommended—whether you’re planning an event or just looking for a consistently great dining experience. This place never disappoints!
