Mélisse is described as an elegant, welcoming spot where both brunch and dinner shine with flavorful, well presented dishes and attentive, professional service. The menu features inventive, shareable plates and crowd favorites like shakshuka, falafels, tartares, mortadella, and thoughtful pairings, with many guests praising high quality ingredients and creative twists. The atmosphere ranges from intimate and chic to lively but comfortable, with a beautiful terrace and a refined yet warm vibe that makes it suitable for dates, business lunches, family meals, and celebrations, including weddings. Several reviews highlight outstanding service and staff who anticipate needs, make strong recommendations, and accommodate dietary restrictions. A few mentions reference slower service or noise when crowded, and some diners felt portions or value could vary, but the overall sentiment remains that Mélisse delivers a memorable, high quality experience and keeps people returning for the consistent excellence and inviting ambiance.
J'y suis allée à la forte suggestion d'une amie qui y était déjà allée & je n'ai pas regretté.
Tous les plats nous ont été apportés de façon à ce qu'on puisse partager. On a pu alors essayé plusieurs plats & tous étaient plus que savoureux.
Super service de tout le personnel. Mention spéciale pour notre serveur Jean-Sebastien, compétent & très sympathique. Nous avons apprécié toutes ses suggestions. Merci, nous avons passé une très agréable soirée.

I've been here for both brunch & dinner now. Both experiences have been very pleasant.
Brunch - The Shakshuka & the potatoes are were delicious, & the pancakes were not overly sweet. Service was good too.
Dinner - We had our Valentine's day date this time. The tuna crudo was by far our favourite. Highly recommend the chicken kefta as well. Every table had a cute flower & a REAL candle (don't see those very often). & our server was very professional (I think it was the manager or owner?). He offered great recommendations, pairings, & detailed explanations for each dish.
Un de ces lunchs de groupe inoubliable. Non seulement la compagnie était magnifique, mais l'équipe du restaurant était présente sans être envahissante, traité avec soin sans acharnement. Excellentes recommandations sans extrêmes.
Demandez pour Jean Sébastien & Caroline. Vous ne serez pas déçu.
My favourite place for Sunday brunch, unique & top grade ingredients … it doesn't matter if you have the humble grilled cheese taken to another level or the top flight xsmokedx (yes gravlax) salmon (could it be from Matane?… no in-house)

We had our office Christmas supper at Mélisse. The menu was prepared specifically for our group. Everything was amazing. The service was professional & friendly. Great place!!
Can't say enough about this place. My 2 colleagues invited me for a year-end (thank you) lunch just today & I can't believe how delicious everything was, from the fresh bread & humus, to the endive salad & Beef tartare. & don't forget our sommelier, the lovely Salomé, a genuinely nice person who takes pride in her work & wine knowledge. Presents the dishes with such passion. Everything was perfect & can't wait to go back.
Tout était parfait! Endroit idéal pour lunch d'affaire, Repas entre amis ou famille! L'ambiance se prête à tous genres d'occasions! Cuisine exceptionnelle & de bon goût! Je recommande 💯
Un excellent moment passé dans ce restaurant ce midi où nous nous sommes régalés..Tout était parfait & délicieux..& la gentillesse de la propriétaire, de sa fille & du reste du personnel ainsi que leur professionnalisme a rendu cette expérience encore plus remarquable!! Une adresse où l'on a hâte de revenir à nouveau.. Merci.. Merci… TY & JC
