What a wonderful evening. We were greeted by the owner who remembered that we were there for a special anniversary. The entire staff was genuine & attentive & they took care to explain the menu items, some of which were new to us. We loved all our choices. The blackened cod & trout were delicious as was the tartelette au pétoncles. We also had the Ragu as an additional entrée & it was also outstanding. The Basque Cheesecake reminded us of our visit to Basque territory in Spain & was large enough for 2. The waiters had excellent choices of wines to pair with our meals. Thank you for a memorable evening.
My date surprised me coming here & the whole team here was incredibly welcoming & warm. We had the best service from the team here on a Wednesday night. The food was impeccable. It was explained to perfection by Benjamin & the drinks were just as incredible. I had two cocktails off the menu as well as a dessert drink off menu. Everything was absolutely amazing! I will 100% be coming back! Thank you Hector, Francois, Benjamin, Gia, & the chefs working!! ✨

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 :).
Excellent service du fort sympathique Hector. Nourriture succulente. Nous avons apprécié notre rencontre avec le chef talentueux & sympathique. On a hâte d'y retourner. 👌
Cuisine raffinée, mais portions dérisoires pour les entrées & les plats principaux. Environ 250 $ pour deux personnes, & nous sommes sortis du restaurant encore à moitié affamés.

Excellent mix of seafood & meat. We started with a seafood platter that was super fresh with amazing scallops & novel razor clams. We followed with oxtails cannellini & roasted cabbage. All with a electric Mosel (description from our waiter Nazar). All & all happily surprised & will certainly come back.
Everything we ordered was a 5/5. We started with a mix of oysters which were extremely fresh & tasty. Each had its own distinct flavour. We ordered the grilled calamari as an appetizer with white beans which was beyond delicious. Then we had the salad molenne which was so simple, delicate & fresh. Our main was the cod. Our waitress was quick to help us replace it when we pointed out it felt a bit room temp & we really appreciated it. The grilled choux was wow, the star of the night. The sauce was glorious. We wish we had bread to sop it up.
The wine was great & we had the basque cheesecake for dessert. Couldn't have asked for a better meal.
10/10 experience. The service was outstanding. Cocktails the best I've had in mtl. The cod was perfectly cooked in a buttery broth. The oxtail cannoli was also perfection. The place itself was well designed & cozy.
Expérience merveilleuse. Gastronomie de haute qualité. Une combinaison entre classe & bienveillance. Délicieux & original. Nous avons adoré notre serveur Henri. Très compétent & chaleureux.
Expérience absolument délicieuse chez Molenne. Tout était parfait du début à la fin, autant dans l'assiette que dans l'ambiance. Un immense merci à Miro & à toute l'équipe pour l'accueil & le service impeccable. Nous étions de passage depuis l'Italie &, sincèrement, ce restaurant représente exactement ce que Montréal a de meilleur à offrir. De la personnalité, de l'originalité, une convivialité authentique, une cuisine surprenante & parfaitement exécutée, le tout dans une ambiance à la fois chic & décontractée. Une adresse qui marque & où l'on a déjà hâte de revenir.

Came here for a quiet dinner on Sunday & it did not disappoint. Food was excellent & the service was great.
The only comment I made to the staff was that the salad & the endives were slightly too salty for me. Besides that everything tasted super good & fresh.
J'ai eu une très belle expérience au Molenne, les plats étaient tous excellents & le service était fantastique. Merci spécifiquement à Nizar & HQ pour une belle soirée.
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.
