Molenne Fantastic seafood-oriented restaurant in Mile End
Visited on a recent busy Saturday night. Serving staff were in demand, but always available & we never felt rushed.
While décor (classic bistro with some local flourish) & service are great, the food is incredible. Standouts to me were the scallop crudo (with raspberries!), the razor clams - which were cooked in beer, & the cavatelli with mussels. While seafood is the star, the PEI steak was cooked to simple perfection & the Lamb Brick was a delicious take on'pulled' meat.
Rounding things out were inventive cocktails (savory Tomato Highball - my choice) & a beyond the usual wine list. Very accessible with a little consult of the sommelier.
All in a great restaurant that stands out in a city full of them.View more
Gorgeous design, amazing service & menu. The cocktail menu is totally worth the detour as well.View more
Amazing experience all around. The food was out of this world. It was all so fresh, prepared & was plated meticulously. The cocktails I had were all very good, & the wine list was massive with so many options. The environment of the restaurant is very vibey. The staff were all very kind, knowledgeable, attentive & very well mannered. Overall, eating here was an amazing experience & I cannot recommend it enough!View more
If you're a seafood lover, Molenne is a must-visit. Every dish reflects thought, creativity, & a true passion for flavor. I love discovering new ingredients & unexpected pairings - & this place absolutely delivered. The cocktails were just as impressive, & the wine list offered unique selections by the glass, allowing me to try perfect pairings throughout the meal.
I even got to learn the story behind the restaurant's name - a thoughtful detail that made the experience even more special. Be sure to ask when you visit Molenne ;)View more

Food is overpriced. I acknowledge the quality of seafood, but other items on the menu are overpriced.View more
Nourriture honnête, portions parfois très petites.View more
An absolute gem! Molenne delivers a refined yet cozy dining experience that feels both special & welcoming. Every dish was beautifully presented & full of flavor-clearly crafted with care & seasonal ingredients. The staff were warm, attentive, & knowledgeable, making us feel genuinely taken care of throughout the evening. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between modern elegance & relaxed charm. A must-visit if you're looking for a memorable culinary experienceView more
Exciting wine program! Hamachi crudo was a standout, as was the basque cheesecake.View more
A little cozy diner! But not your average food, a well deserved 5 stars for service, professionalism & excellent food! Seafood specialty dishes as well as a wonderfully executed lamb brick platter! A must visit!View more
J'avais hâte de découvrir ce nouveau restaurant sur la main.
J'ai pu le découvrir lors d'un dîner entre collègues.. J'ai été quelque peu déçue : beaucoup d'attente pour être servis, des plats sans accompagnements comme la viande ou le tartare (sans croûtons, sans salade / frites), la climatisation trop froide.
Un beau potentiel qui mérite des ajustements.View more
Molenne ended up being a great time for us as well as being a nice place to bring out-of-towners for a quintessential Montreal food experience. Some of the dishes were a miss, but would definitely recommend the oysters, garnished potato, lamb brick & the braised cabbage.
The atmosphere was super quaint & the restaurant was full on the Tuesday night we were there which made for a lovely experience.
The service was great & our server was very kind & helpful with the menu as well as helping us to pick a great wine, but the dishes came out very slowly, about 40 minutes between services.
That being said, would still recommend Molenne for a romantic night out, or for a business dinner.
Thank you Molenne for the lovely evening!View more
Excellent ! Belle équipe!
Nous y retournerons très bientôt!View more
L'endroit est très beau, mais on est mal tombé ce midi. Poisson trop cuit & plat de pâte froid. Service trop long & on était à peine 15 personnes dans le resto. Sûrement un oubli de nos assiettes, on a demandé au serveur d'aller voir ce qui se passait après 45 minutes d'attente. Je donne la chance au coureur mais pour ce midi un 5/10 pas plus. Désolé mais franchement décevant.
Excellent cuisine, Great choice of wine with different & interesting option & a someliere who knows her wines.
I have to say that serive was not what one expect at that price point: slow with long wait. Perhaps missing staff... This was particularly annoying as next table received super service from host (friends?). Maked us feel second class...View more
They provide outstanding service, & the food arrangement on a plate is beautiful.View more
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre visite d'il y a quelques jours. Bon choix de fruits de mer frais, excellents cocktails & belle carte des vins raisonnable. À essayer! Nous y retournerons.View more
On ne s'extasie pas tous les jours, mais ça m'est arrivé ce soir au Molenne. Franchement excellent sur toute la ligne. Les plats sont goûteux, raffinés, recherchés & exécutés d'une main de maître. Les coups de circuits : le crabe des neiges, les couteaux de mer, le chou braisé & le steak. L'atmosphère générale, incluant la décoration (remarquez la machine Vachon à l'entrée des toilettes!) bonifie l'expérience. Ne ratez pas l'occasion d'y aller.View more
