An absolute delight. They saved us during peak hours during Sunday brunch- after our plans fell through. They could've easily turned us away but they were extremely accommodating & the food was exceptional. Food is stunning, the staff is sweet & kind, & the restaurant itself is gorgeous. A huge thank you to all the staff.
J'ai récemment eu l'occasion de déguster un délicieux brunch chez Mélisse & j'ai été agréablement surpris par la variété de plats sains & savoureux proposés. Le personnel était non seulement courtois, mais aussi très sympathique, ce qui a ajouté à l'atmosphère chaleureuse du restaurant. Le personnel de Mélisse a contribué à rendre mon expérience encore plus agréable en étant attentif & accueillant. Leur service courtois & leur sourire chaleureux ont vraiment fait la différence. Je recommande vivement le brunch chez Mélisse pour ceux qui recherchent une expérience culinaire saine & délicieuse, accompagnée d'un service exceptionnel. Un vrai régal pour les papilles & pour l'âme.
We came here for a weekday lunch. I strongly recommend making reservations in advance because we waited for more than 20 minutes to be seated although a couple of tables were empty. They have a modest fusion menu that varies from Mediterranean cuisine to seafood & tartare. The decoration of the restaurant is very cute & cozy, it has bigger tables for gatherings & also high bar chairs if you want to bring your laptop & work there. The service is rather slow though & might not be efficient during a work- day lunchtime. We ordered "Hummus with Pita", Chicken Skewers with Tzatziki", "Fattoush Salad" & "Seasoned Fish". Hummus & salad were really good. Chicken skewers tasted okay, but fish wasn't seasoned enough & was smelly. I would definitely love to try their weekend brunch.
We went for weekend brunch on Saturday (highly recommend making reservations as this place is always busy). It's a fantastic atmosphere to have brunch in, light & airy with lots of greenery that contrasts nicely to the snow outside. We ordered chai latte, hot chocolate & jasmine tea & the pancakes (they came with coffee syrup & were orange flavored). The pancakes were truly amazing. Service was very pleasant. Overall a very enjoyable brunch spot in the Old Port.
Nous étions à 2 pour le brunch & nous avons été agréablement surpris par les plats. Les recettes sont très intéressantes & surtout très bonnes. Coup de coeur pour le poulet sur pain perdu. Le service était également à la hauteur & l'ambiance très conviviale. Je recommande !

The only feedback I have is that 1) the service was much slower than expected for the price/quality. Servers were very nice regardless. 2) Certain items on the brunch menu were lacklustre. My salmon gravlax was a little bland - the toast was not really toasted & just felt "wet" with cream cheese.
Amazing restaurant, fantastic for brunch, the menu & the execution was top-notch, the staff were incredibly friendly & the atmosphere in the restaurant was brilliant

Superbe expérience pour le brunch en famille. Super service très attentionné & les plats étaient délicieux & très savoureux. L'ambiance du restaurant est aussi très chaleureuse. Un sans faute 💯
Délicieux brunch, facile à partager ! Le service était bien, beaucoup de pression pour quitter après 90 minutes ce que je trouve dommage .. ambiance agréable, nourriture délicieuse, j'y retournerai sûrement !
Honestly one of the best brunch place in Montreal !! (& I’ve tasted a lot of them lol)
The salmon toasts are super fresh - the cream cheese & lemon are an amazing combo.we also had some ricotta & fruit pancakes that were super fluffy & fulfilling
I’ve been there so many times I can’t count!
Definitely recommend for brunch, as well as for the pastries (especially the chocolate croissant)
Superbe expérience, du cadre à l’assiette en passant par le service! Les pâtisseries de chez Potier proposées ce dimanche matin nous ont fait démarrer le brunch sur une note gourmande & réussie!
