Reviewers describe Restaurant Mélisse as a stylish Montreal spot with warm, attentive service and a menu that blends Middle Eastern and Mediterranean influences. The food is consistently praised for freshness, balance, and bold flavors, with shareable plates and standout items such as shakshuka, falafel, and tartare, complemented by thoughtful wine pairings and a knowledgeable sommelier. The atmosphere is often highlighted, with a beautiful terrace, elegant yet cozy dining rooms, and brunch and dinner experiences that frequently shine, though a few notes mention occasional service missteps, noise levels when busy, and good value for money is not always guaranteed. Overall, it feels like a must visit for celebrations, casual meals with friends or romantic evenings, and many guests say they look forward to returning.
Beautiful restaurant with an excellent brunch menu. The shakshouka was delicious! Total plus that they have a bathroom with a sturdy baby change table.

Endroit idéal pour bruncher avec autant amis, famille ou collègues. L'ambiance était très agréable & le service très amical. Pour ce qui est de la nourriture, le menu était assez varié & tous les plats semblaient délectables!
L'un des meilleurs restaurants à Montréal, ci ce n'est le meilleur pour moi ! 5ième fois que j'y vais, que ce soit pour le brunch , le dîner ou le souper comme hier, ce restaurant est un pur régal, tout est fait maison; tout est frais & le personnel est adorable !! Je le recommande vivement 🫶🏼
I was at Mélisse for a private work event & I had the pleasure of receiving service from Caroline & Mateo that evening. The food was amazing!! I believe Caroline might be the head chef or owner...I'm not entirely sure, but she was so good about really making sure we truly enjoyed our meals as she brought them out to us. I felt like she genuinely wanted to make sure everything was perfect. Mateo was the most fun & swift server. I very much enjoyed our short discussions & he was so nice about running food or going back to the kitchen for some questions I had about the food. He never made feel like I was asking for too much or if my requests seemed like a chore. I think he really does enjoy serving & making sure everyone has what they need to complete a perfect meal experience. Mateo & Caroline together whipped up a surprise dessert for me that was not on the menu for that evening & it was so sweet of them. It was an overall wonderful experience that I won't forget. I highly recommend Mélisse!!
Très beau restaurant, situé sur la rue William, qui est géré par sa propriétaire d'une façon impeccable. Le menu, est assez limité, & est plus ou moins méditerranéen. Les portions sont légèrement petite, mais la qualité des produits & le gout sont irréprochables. Pour une belle soirée, avec deux ou trois couples d'amis, ce restaurant vous offre une ambiance chic & animée, & serait un très bon choix.

We went for the brunch on Saturday, Oct. 5. Food was great (it could have been a bit warmer though) but the service was bad. Staff is quite young & seems totally unmotivated, absolutely not interested. It's a job, they just doing it for money...well it shows. Won't come back soon.
Excellent service de Jean-Sébastien (encore une fois)! Sa passion nous mets en appétit. Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre repas, particulièrement la désormais classique salade d'endive, le pain plat, & l'entrée de courgette au labneh. Nous avons aussi beaucoup apprécié le choix des vins au verre, ce qui nous a donné la possibilité de varier nos accords. Merci!
