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.
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.
Not only is the food fantastic, the staff is super friendly. This resto has a secluded area for people to talk privately. As a hard-of-hearing person, the area allows me to have conversations with ease. My fave resto in Montréal!
Love this restaurant...from the delicious food, ambience, the people..it was perfect! My only regret is that I found this spot on my last day, I will be back for dinner sometime!

Très important de servir les plats suggérés & de garder les plats gagnants. J'ai pris le poisson hier & pas du tout le plat suggéré sur le menu & qui était beaucoup plus délicieux avant. Merci !
Hi, the apartment would improve with a small stool on other side of bed. Great location, easy access, possibility let people know there are small number of stairs prior to lifts. Bathroom needs updating & entry to shower very narrow.
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 !
