Review Summary

Reviews describe Molenne as a refined yet cozy seafood focused spot with warm, attentive service and a lively, welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen is praised for freshness, thoughtful presentation and inventive pairings, with standout items like oysters, razor clams, cod in shiitake bouillon, oxtail cannoli, lamb brick and a Basque cheesecake receiving frequent praise. The wine list and cocktails are highly regarded and often highlighted as excellent pairings that elevate the meals. While most opinions are very positive and many say they would return and recommend Molenne to friends, some diners note drawbacks including occasional slow or inattentive service, long waits between courses, smaller portions for certain entrees, and price levels that feel high relative to portions. The overall verdict is that Molenne offers a memorable dining experience that blends refined cuisine with a welcoming vibe, making it a standout option in Montreal for seafood lovers and a strong choice for celebrations or intimate dinners.

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.

Unreal fresh raw bar. The razor clams were outstanding & everything was as beautiful as it was delicious. Wines & service & vibe were top notch, couldn't recommend it enough :).

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. That's the word. The textures were on point! Flavors were layered & build into every dish. The potatoes were perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with toppings that complemented them beautifully. The sauce on the cod was out of this world-I actually had to ask the staff how they made it. Fish was perfectly prepared. & the oxtail cannoli was absolutely delicious. I also really enjoyed the dessert but it wasn't the highlight. 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.

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.
