Mon copain & moi y étions pour célébrer nos 4 ans de relation. Notre soirée était hallucinante! Le service, la nourriture, le vin, l'ambiance: tout était parfait. Molenne est certainement un de meilleurs restos de Montréal. Notre serveur François était à la fois pro & super amical. Je recommande chaudement l'agneau, le choux braisé & l'homard poché. Déjà hâte d'y retourner. Merci encore à toute l'équipe! ✨
Vraiment une belle découverte! Une midi de semaine en amoureux, nous avions besoin d'un moment, d'un vin & d'une bonne bouffe!
Entrées de salade d'été (pêches de l'Ontario mûres & sucrées à souhait) & huîtres de Terre-Neuve. Poisson du jour (truite parfaitement cuite) & pâte du jour avec un vin blanc de Provence. Au final, un gâteau au fromage avec du Louis d'Or râpé en prime.
& que dire du service de Dorothée.
Les portions sont plus petites qu'ailleurs, mais c'était parfait pour nous.
Je vous recommande sans hésitation.
Un vrai coup de coeur pour Le Molène !
J'adore ce restaurant. Les plats sont savoureux, bien présentés, & toujours faits avec des produits de qualité. L'ambiance est chaleureuse, calme & accueillante - on s'y sent bien dès l'arrivée. Le service est attentionné & professionnel. Chaque visite est un vrai plaisir. Je recommande vivement !
Ca fait déjà plusieurs fois que je me rend au Molenne. C'est mon top 3 des restaurants à MTL. Ayant la culture des fruits de mer très à coeur en raison de mes origines Acadiennes, je n'ai jamais été déçu. L'equipe est insane, le service est impeccable & il y une bonne vibe dans celle-ci qui donne presque le gout d'y travailler. Pour la qualité & la fraîcheur des aliments, la variété des vins, cocktails & diversité du menu. Un 5 étoile est sous estimé le Molenne.

One of the best restaurants I've been to in my travels. The service is outstanding. Food is 10 out of 10. Everything was cooked to perfection & so flavorful. It will be my first stop the next time I'm back in Montreal! A true gem!
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.
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!
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 ;)
