Review Summary

Molenne is widely praised as a refined, seafood focused dining spot in Mile End where seasonal ingredients and creative preparations shine, the open kitchen and warm, contemporary bistro vibe adding to the memorable experience, while the service is consistently attentive and friendly and the wine and cocktail program earns praise. Dishes like the scallop crudo, razor clams, cod in shiitake broth, and the Lamb Brick are highlighted as standout, with other plates showing both innovation and great quality, though a few reviews note small portions for the price, occasional slow pacing or missteps such as over-salted salads or items arriving together and a few dishes not fully meeting expectations. Overall Molenne is described as a must try, frequently compared favorably to Montreal's best, with strong recommendations to reserve ahead and to explore the menu, drinks, and local produce.

I went to this restaurant looking to try something new in Montreal, & I'm so glad I did. From the moment you walk in, the service is warm & welcoming. The space feels cozy/elevated. It's lively but still intimate enough for a conversation.

We ordered the tuna tartare, bison tartare, cod, oxtail cannoli, potatoes, & a blueberry dessert. The food took waaaay too long to arrive-servers apologized, but no adjustment was made for the wait. (We arrived at 8:30 & around 10pm we still haven't received our main & at midnight I was eating dessert)

That said… the food was beautiful. This was easily one of the best meals I've had in Montreal in a very long time. Where looking at about 200$ without drinks & worth every single penny. However, they would need to work on offering better service to enhance the dinning experience.

Incredibly fresh & stunning assortment of oysters & other raw bar delicacies.
Delish entrees. My dining partner & I shared the pork stew, which was just enough after the cold seafood appetizers. It was unlike anything I've ever had, with a bit of pasta &'shredded' pork in a lovely sauce.
Beautiful wines, too.
The cheesecake was light & almost like a soufflé in texture, with shredded parm sprinkled on top. Wow!
Service was extremely attentive without being over bearing. Servers seemed to love working as part of the team & seemed proud & enthusiastic about what they were serving.
We will be back!

The degustation menu is beautifully curated. i haven't had magret de canard the way i've had it here before & the oyster selection is delicious!
what makes the experience special is Alex's attention to detail & care. He definitely made the difference.
will definitely come back again

Benjamin, Gia, & Hector gave me & my beautiful date the most amazing experience. Shout out Damian & François for recommending to visit, amazing food, service, & cocktails. I have no photos to share as I could not put a fork down for long enough to pick up my phone.

We had a fabulous lunch at Molenne. The seafood was fresh & presented beautifully & the confit of trout was delicious. Our server was very helpful & recommended the perfect wine to go with the meal. A wonderful introduction to Montreal & the fresh produce of Quebec.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful. One of the best, most thoughtful, & well-balanced meals I've had in a long time. Plus, the service was impeccable. I can't believe they've only been open for a week. Already feels like a classic.
