Molenne est une brasserie montréalaise créée pour toutes les occasions : un verre entre amis, un repas léger, une fête d'anniversaire, un café matinal, un déjeuner d'affaires ou des événements plus festifs avec champagne et caviar.
Molenne est largement salué comme une adresse raffinée et axée sur les fruits de mer dans le Mile End, où les ingrédients locaux et les préparations créatives brillent, l'ambiance chaleureuse et contemporaine et la cuisine ouverte contribuant à une expérience mémorable, tandis que le service est attentif et que le programme de vins et de cocktails est apprécié. Des plats comme le crudo de pétoncles, les couteaux de mer, le cod en bouillon de shiitake et le Lamb Brick sont mis en avant comme des points forts, avec d'autres assiettes montrant l'innovation et la qualité, même si certains avis pointent des portions modestes pour le prix, un service parfois lent ou des plats qui arrivent tous ensemble. Dans l'ensemble Molenne est décrit comme une adresse à essayer absolument, souvent comparée aux meilleures tables de Montréal, avec de fortes recommandations pour réserver et explorer le menu, les boissons et les produits locaux.
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.
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.

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.
The overall vibe of the restaurant is amazing - warm, cozy, & inviting. The service was excellent, attentive, & friendly. We were a bit disappointed with the appetizers: the crab was overcooked & the squid had a mushy texture, which wasn't great. However, the staff handled it perfectly & immediately took them off the bill, which we really appreciated. The squash, on the other hand, was absolutely delicious!
The main dishes completely made up for it - everything was outstanding. The cod & lamb were cooked to perfection, & the gnochetti was so good we actually ordered it twice. The wine list is also fantastic.
Overall, despite a rocky start, the experience was wonderful, & we'll definitely be back!
We had to wait about an hour for our table, but the staff gave us a nice spot to stand & enjoy a cocktail while we waited, so it wasn't a big deal given the great atmosphere. The staff were friendly & welcoming, & the food was absolutely delicious. Even the cod, which I don't usually love, was incredible
Had my eye on this place for a little while since I knew Miro was involved (used to be at Damas). That meant the wine list would be great & it was. Small but charming place with cozy leather banquettes, very French but unpretentious. Food was amazing, some original twists on some classic favourites. The scallop crudo in raspberry water & the tuna tartare in a melon sauce were absolutely crazy & I also recommend the cod in shitake bouillon. The service was on par with the fantastic dishes. It felt like they were only serving us, our needs were met without asking & they weren't pushy with the bill. Very friendly, taking a minute to be chatty, explaining dishes well. Very attentive, friendly & relaxed. I want to tell everyone about one of my favourite restaurants

I am not a fan of seafood usually but decided to give this place a try after a few days in Montreal. What a delightful experience! My parents were visiting & we randomly ended up here, but were so pleased with the whole place. The service was incredible! The drinks were fantastic- & nevermind the mushroom cod! Totally recommend if you're in the area! The Mile-End with a view cocktail is definitely the best in the menu!
