Restaurant Mélisse is widely regarded as a standout destination in Montreal, celebrated for its creative, flavourful, and fresh cuisine, particularly during brunch and dinner. Guests frequently highlight the high quality of ingredients, with many praising unique dishes like the shakshuka, tuna crudo, and various salads, often enjoyed as part of a popular tapas style sharing menu. While the majority of reviews celebrate the warm, elegant, and inviting atmosphere paired with exceptionally professional and friendly service, some diners have noted concerns regarding portion sizes relative to the price point or occasional inconsistencies in service speed and menu availability.

The food is excellent & the service good & enthusiastic. However for the price it didn't feel value was there: portions except for a 2 or 3 items on the menu are quite small & it felt very under staffed. At the price point service needed to be up a notch or a full team of staff.

I used to visit Mélisse regularly before the pandemic, but I hadn't been back in a few years until today. I was excited to return, & I'm happy to say the food did not disappoint. Everything was sublime, & I left already looking forward to my next visit. The service was warm & friendly, though a little on the slower side at times. Hopefully I'll get to enjoy the terrace next time. Overall, a great spot.

All style & little substance. Underwhelmed with the selection, food & service. Took my mom here for Mother's Day Brunch & after we looked at the menu & decided, were informed they were out of 2 menu items *including the breakfast sandwich* . LIKE, WHAT? That is like a coffee shop running out of milk. We were not offered any similar breakfast-y items, just a salade nicoise, which we declined. Also, portions are small & coffee was lukewarm.

We came for a light lunch & were so impressed with the delivery & the quality of the food. The endive salad & the beet salad were next level! A family restaurant that is a must stop for anyone looking for great food & a wonderful family atmosphere! Highly recommended!!!

Nous avons adoré notre expérience au Mélisse. Très joli déco, plats délicieux & en bonne quantité, belle carte de vins mais surtout un service aux petits soins qui te fait sentir comme un habitué (je n'ai pas souvenir du nom de notre serveuse, mais grand merci à elle !) Nous sommes venus pour ma fête mais nous reviendrons certainement pour d'autres occasions !
