Light & flaky spinach pie with a lemony hint. Fun bright spot on Parc, with outdoor seating. Wonderful friendly staff. Great coffee too.
So I was a little hungry & wanted a quick & easy bite to eat without it being too unhealthy. This place seemed to be reasonably healthy (or not too unhealthy would be acceptable too) with the tiropita & spanakopita options.
So it's small, it's a little cute, & vary like end in its look & feel.
This is not a place one goes for a hangout to me, it's small limited indoor seating & a little larger outdoor terrace is nice but really does not do it.
Service is nice but nothing overly warm or friendly. I went into the restaurant twice & the first time no one acknowledged me. The second time I was actually greeted & served.
The food is average to below average.
They have cookies, baklava, & other sweets & then they offer (on a warming griddle) tiropita & spanakopita. Their price seemed reasonable given the portion size, however once you bite into the spanakopita (which I ordered) its doughy feel & chewy texture was a lacking the traditional crisp & flaky light philo dough. It was too late as I would have sent it back due to this but I was very hungry & didn't want to start a fuss. As I bit into & chewed the spanakopita the seasoning was actually nice, but there was insufficient cheese in the filling & there was not enough filling.
Growing up in a Greek community & having numerous Greek friends with Yayas who cook amazing Greek food I felt the food I ate was a travesty to Greek cuisine & at the price I believe it to be a waste of money. Perhaps a person who lacks knowledge about Greek food may enjoy it more, not me that's for sure.
So they also offer hot beverages & I didn't try them however, if I was forced to come back again I would probably try their coffee & maybe risk a sweet. They only sweet I would not try is their baklava as it was a small little square portion that was presented in a manner that was not appetizing to me - which is sad as I love baklava.
So no I would not return not recommend parroting this place as there are many other options in the area.
Melina's under the quality assurance of Joanna C. is a UNESCO world heritage site, for me. The cute comptoir with the impeccable in-house pastries & meticulous coffees includes 5 staples, which i call my'Mile End Food Groups':
incontournable : iced frappé (aka'summercraque' ) & baklava so good you cry & pump fist into air like winner of game.
essentiels: espresso, classic spinach phyllo (flawless!) & for all seasons:
the iced sablé cookie to ward off the evil eye.
We love our first experience at Melinla's. Very welcoming & excellent service. We enjoyed our coffee & the flaky fresh from the oven spanakopita. A must try when you visit mile end neighborhood in Montreal. I will be posting it on youtube @merichoo. Thank you💕
I like the mini table inside, five stars (coffee took a bit long) oh & no tiro pita made me sad :( four stars
