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 ressort comme une adresse chaleureuse et raffinée du Mile End où fruits de mer frais et accords mets-vins séduisent la plupart des convives; le service est souvent décrit comme attentif et professionnel, et l'ambiance à la fois cosy et chic attire autant les couples que les groupes. Des retours mentionnent toutefois des prix parfois élevés, des portions modestes pour certaines entrées ou plats, et des soirs de service plus lent avec des plats servis séparément. Malgré quelques déceptions mineures, l'expérience globale est unanimement positive, les plats marquants mêlant saveurs marines et touches créatives, les cocktails et les vins étant souvent salués et les desserts comme le gâteau basque au fromage ou le Louis d'Or apprécié. Beaucoup recommandent de réserver, soulignent la constance et l'accueil sincère de l'équipe, et expriment le souhait de revenir pour renouveler l'expérience et découvrir les nouveautés du menu.
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!
Such a lovely space. Chic couples who
look like they stepped off of a fashion show runway rub shoulders with families in jeans & baseball caps, & the service is attentive & helpful regardless. Most of the dishes are fresh & creative although some were a little too on the sweet side for our liking, like the sea urchin gnocchi, while others, like the halibut cheek marinated in olive oil with wild mushrooms were pure genius. Really impressed by the wine list which was affordable & included really interesting local wine. & the dessert-the cheesecake in particular: simple, rich, delicious. Maybe a bit too much of a splurge to go more than once or twice a year, but definitely worth a return. visit..

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
A little cozy diner! But not your average food, a well deserved 5 stars for service, professionalism & excellent food! Seafood specialty dishes as well as a wonderfully executed lamb brick platter! A must visit!
Molenne ended up being a great time for us as well as being a nice place to bring out-of-towners for a quintessential Montreal food experience. Some of the dishes were a miss, but would definitely recommend the oysters, garnished potato, lamb brick & the braised cabbage.
The atmosphere was super quaint & the restaurant was full on the Tuesday night we were there which made for a lovely experience.
The service was great & our server was very kind & helpful with the menu as well as helping us to pick a great wine, but the dishes came out very slowly, about 40 minutes between services.
That being said, would still recommend Molenne for a romantic night out, or for a business dinner.
Most of the food we had was great, however there were some dishes that were a miss for us & weren't at the level of the others:
- Worth getting: Clam Chowder, Lamb Brick, Bison Tartare, Duck Cannelloni
- Ok: Hamachi Crudo (not acidic enough in our opinion), Scallops (small portion for $9/each), grilled potato, & the desserts
- Not worth the money: Shrimp (one single shrimp for $19…), & the grilled broccoli (tasted like boiled broccoli you can make at home)
Otherwise, the ambience & service were great. Drinks were tasty too. They're a relatively new restaurant, so I imagine they're still figuring out the menu. I'd still recommend going, if you choose the right dishes.
