Molenne propose une expérience de steakhouse sophistiquée, équilibrant habilement les coupes classiques avec une sélection raffinée de fruits de mer. L'approche inspirée du marché garantit que les ingrédients les plus frais sont mis en valeur dans chaque plat, des steaks de première qualité grillés à la perfection aux prises de mer fraîches préparées avec une précision culinaire. Chaque assiette témoigne de la qualité et de l'exécution experte, offrant un profil de saveurs robuste conçu pour les palais exigeants. Les clients peuvent s'attendre à un environnement de restauration qui complète le haut calibre de la cuisine, en faisant une destination de premier choix pour les viandes et fruits de mer préparés avec expertise.

Molenne est largement reconnu comme une destination culinaire raffinée et chaleureuse à Montréal, particulièrement appréciée pour ses fruits de mer exceptionnels, son bar cru d'une grande fraîcheur et ses plats créatifs mettant en valeur les produits locaux. De nombreux convives décrivent leur expérience comme mémorable, soulignant l'ambiance accueillante ainsi qu'un service attentionné et compétent. Bien que le restaurant reçoive des éloges notables pour sa carte des vins soignée et la maîtrise de ses cocktails, certains clients ont fait part de préoccupations concernant la lenteur du service, les longs délais d'attente et la taille des portions jugée parfois petite par rapport au prix. Malgré ces retours mitigés sur le rythme et le rapport qualité-prix, la majorité des visiteurs considèrent l'établissement comme une adresse incontournable pour ceux qui recherchent une expérience gastronomique à la fois sophistiquée et décontractée en ville.
We came in late at night & were absolutely shocked by Molenne. From the service to the quality of the dishes, I cannot recommend a place more. The caviar, sea urchins & oysters were to die for! Thank you again to François for the late night snack!
The food was REALLY disappointing, very flavourless, cold & overpriced. The wait was ridiculous, we were there 3 hours for a set menu, waiting up to 1 hour between dishes. I think the point is for you to drink more, but it also comes from being badly organized. The food came out cold & it was honestly surprising to taste such bad & odd flavour profiles, even the sea food platter was disappointing. The wine wasn't great either. I chose this restaurant for a special occasion for my wife's birthday & ended up bitterly regretting my decision to try Molenne, it was very very expensive for one of the worst meal we had ever had.
I would absolutely avoid this place, I'm frankly surprised it's still open.
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.
