Mélisse is described as an elegant, welcoming spot where both brunch and dinner shine with flavorful, well presented dishes and attentive, professional service. The menu features inventive, shareable plates and crowd favorites like shakshuka, falafels, tartares, mortadella, and thoughtful pairings, with many guests praising high quality ingredients and creative twists. The atmosphere ranges from intimate and chic to lively but comfortable, with a beautiful terrace and a refined yet warm vibe that makes it suitable for dates, business lunches, family meals, and celebrations, including weddings. Several reviews highlight outstanding service and staff who anticipate needs, make strong recommendations, and accommodate dietary restrictions. A few mentions reference slower service or noise when crowded, and some diners felt portions or value could vary, but the overall sentiment remains that Mélisse delivers a memorable, high quality experience and keeps people returning for the consistent excellence and inviting ambiance.
Quel plaisir de retrouver à chaque visite, le personnel attentionné; le menu qui varie & propose des plats toujours aussi savoureux & élégants. Tout cela dans un décor à la fois contemporain chic & décontracté. Je recommande sans détour!
The place is nicely decorated & the ambiance is nice.
The service is poor as they're understaffed & the menu is terrible.
I don't know if the owners changed but the food was a lot better before.
The current menu features food that you could microwave & bring to the table.
Never going back again
Atmosphère chaleureuse dans un décor magnifique, service des plus attentionnés, sommelière du tonnerre, nourriture excellente ( les pates aux morilles sont à tomber par terre) ... bref : que du bonbon! Vivement une prochaine visite chez Melisse!
Décor agréable, service attentionné, menu varié, nourriture très gouteuse, portions raisonnables & prix abordables. La formule parfaite pour un agréable lunch.

As always, such a pleasure to dine at Melisse. The food, the staff, the decor, the ambiance, the attention paid to the little things... one of our favorite restos since our first visit back in 2017 or 2018. Walking into Melisse is like getting a hug from someone you love. Everything about it is gentle, kind & reassuring. That might sound odd in a restaurant review, but it is the truth.
Superbe expérience que ce souper au Mélisse hier au soir..Accueil chaleureux, service impeccable, décor sublime, nourriture & vins excellents, ambiance incroyable.. Assurément une des meilleures adresses du quartier...
From the food, to the service, to the decor, everything was excellent. The staff was extremely attentive & we had a delicious meal. We will definitely be going back.
Tout de cette expérience est mémorable. La bouffe, le decorum, le service, l'ambiance générale. Ça faisait longtemps que j'avais vécu une expérience si mémorable. (La pieuvre & les champignons sont a retenir!)
La bouffe est d'une qualité exceptionnelle, le service, tout en étant respectueux, est très sympathique. Le décor est différent des autres restaurants à la mode.
Ce resto a tout pour plaire.
