Mélisse is one of my absolute favorite spots in Montreal. Every visit is consistently exceptional.

The atmosphere is beautiful, bright, & inviting, with a relaxed elegance that makes it perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a slow weekend brunch morning. The service is warm, attentive, & always makes you feel genuinely welcome.

Every dish is made with high-quality ingredients & thoughtful flavors that feel both comforting & refined. You can really tell that every plate is prepared with care.

If you're looking for a brunch experience that's as memorable as it is delicious, Mélisse is a must-visit. It's one of those places I find myself recommending again & again, & I always leave looking forward to my next visit. Thank you

J'ai choisi ce resto au dejeuner pour le chia malgré que les ingrédients indiquaient lait de coco il était coupé avec du lait de vache sans en faire mention sur le menu....la seule autre chose que je pouvais prendre est salade endives..avec quelques graines de citrouille...pas vraiment proteiné pour le prix...il y a des plats très bons & d'autres à travailler...C'est inégal qualité prix par plat..services très bon..

The food was a revelation, the service wonderful, & the atmosphere lovely. We sampled a good portion of the menu, which is Tapas style. Easily one of my favorite restaurants ever.

Quelle belle découverte pour commencer notre voyage en force!

Nous étions un groupe de cinq & avons eu la chance de goûter à presque tous les plats du menu, certains même en double. Chaque assiette était exécutée avec justesse & délicatesse. Sur plus d'une dizaine de plats dégustés, nous n'avons trouvé absolument rien à redire : absolument TOUT était remarquable.

Les vins proposés étaient tout aussi réussis : un magnifique vin de macération pour débuter, suivi d'un Bourgogne classique parfaitement choisi.

Mais notre expérience n'aurait pas été la même sans notre serveur Jean-Sébastien. Par son enthousiasme contagieux, sa générosité & son véritable amour de la gastronomie, il a donné vie à cette soirée & l'a rendue mémorable.

Merci JS pour ce moment parfait! Nous avons ajouté ce restaurant à nos favoris 🤍
