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.

Mélisse is so incredibly SPECTACULAR! Farm to table, fresh, beautiful decor, zen atmosphere & amazing service! BEST birthday celebration 🎉! Caroline & her team greet you like they would in their home. If you're celebrating, this is definitely the place to be!
We loved everything about Melisse! The restaurant itself is bright & beautiful, the food delicious & the vibe just wonderful! Lots of beautiful young people to add to the overall enjoyment!!
We went for brunch. Beautiful place, food was good. They have dishes containing "sunny side up eggs" but, unfortunately, they cannot do scrambled or hard yolk - not even for pregnant women (me) or babies (my son). We found this to be rather unaccommodating...
Great lunch spot with dainty patio & light food options. We enjoyed a salad & a pasta on a humid Montreal day, & the place was ideal for it. The seats filled up quite rapidly during lunch time, but didn't feel too packed or noisy.

Absolutely amazing experience at the Melisse. The food was fantastic, it was quite literally the best brunch I have ever had. The chakchouka was delicious & extremely flavourful. The service was great, all the servers were very polite & helpful. Last but not least, the atmosphere was wonderful, it was all great vibes & it was full of people. Overall 10/10 experience. Would recommend to everyone!
This was so amazing, service was beautiful with our water always full & great attitudes & food knowledge of the menu. Food was incredible definitely get the chachuka & potatoes & grilled cheese was also amazing. Some of the best food I've ever eaten. Thankyou restaurant melisse!
Shout out au service de Jean Sébastien. Tu es fait pour ce metier, c'était rafraîchissant de se faire servir par toi! Vive le service décontracté mais tout aussi professionnel!
Brunch exceptionnel, produits frais, belle présentation & délicieux ! La terrasse est bien aménagée & très agréable ! Le service est top ! Je recommande !
This was an experience of beautifully subtle proportions! The atmosphere is amazing, beautiful décor, lighting, space. The food was beyond exceptional. For example, the endive salad is so perfectly dressed, that the endives themselves are not bitter at all. The beef tartare... OMG... absolutely heaven, & quite unique in its preparation. The staff is quite knowledgeable for wine pairing, as well as just being cozy & welcoming. VERY family atmosphere between all the staff, which shows they are well treated, & enjoy their job. This is always nice to see & feel. Can't wait until our next experience there!!!
Thank you for serving us the brunch of our lives! I love that I could make a reservation & not wait on the sidewalk. The atmosphere was so beautiful, the patio is stunning. The food was incredible, bright, fresh & clearly thought out. Our service was friendly & I would love to go for dinner I bet it's incredible!

Simplement vous dire un gros merci pour ce merveilleux brunch. Nous avons adoré la nourriture ainsi que le service & l'ambiance compliment au chef aussi du même coup. Le tout était très savoureux. Belle réussite bravo
Simplement l'un des plus beau, agréable & délicieux restaurant de Montréal. Je crois que le mot qui résume ce lieux est « harmonie ». La brigade, le décor, l'ambiance, la nourriture & les clients sont en parfait synchronisme. La sommelière nous suggère ses vins comme de la poésie. La nourriture suit le tempo & le service personnalisé nous accompagne dans cette expérience. Passion, on le goûte, on le ressent!
