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 ;)

Exciting wine program! Hamachi crudo was a standout, as was the basque cheesecake.

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.

Thank you Molenne for the lovely evening!

Excellent cuisine, Great choice of wine with different & interesting option & a someliere who knows her wines.

I have to say that serive was not what one expect at that price point: slow with long wait. Perhaps missing staff... This was particularly annoying as next table received super service from host (friends?). Maked us feel second class...
