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.
I planned a dinner at Melisse but was unable to attend. I received excellent feedback about the quality & taste of the food, & service & when the pictures were shared with me, I could not help but marvel at the beauty that is Melisse! Thank you Ben & Caroline for all your effort in making my event a success!
Honestly one of the best brunch place in Montreal !! (& I’ve tasted a lot of them lol)
The salmon toasts are super fresh - the cream cheese & lemon are an amazing combo.we also had some ricotta & fruit pancakes that were super fluffy & fulfilling
I’ve been there so many times I can’t count!
Definitely recommend for brunch, as well as for the pastries (especially the chocolate croissant)
Superbe expérience, du cadre à l’assiette en passant par le service! Les pâtisseries de chez Potier proposées ce dimanche matin nous ont fait démarrer le brunch sur une note gourmande & réussie!
Tout était parfait comme toujours. Caroline & son équipe font de la magie ! J'y vais régulièrement depuis des années & c'est toujours aussi parfait ! Merci Mélisse !

This was our first experience at Le Melisse & can say without a doubt that it won’t be our last. From the moment you walk in, you immediately charmed by the overall atmosphere & decor. Everyone from the staff was attentive to our needs & our waitress Myriam was one of the most courteous waitresses we’ve had the pleasure to be served by. Extremely friendly, she took all of our preferences in consideration & conceived a 4 courses menu customized for us. Every plate was as beautiful as delicious. Hats off to the owner & her daughter in the kitchen. You’ve made this evening memorable for my friends & I. I’d give 6 stars if I could. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. Thank you again to all the staff & I hope you’ll continue sharing your love for good food for years to come.
Everything was perfect. It isn't easy to please a big group; however, we only received positive feedback from each of the 27 attendees: excellent food & great, great service. Thank you very much!
Un peu bruyant (il y avait beaucoup de clients le midi où je suis allée).
Un peu cher aussi pour le midi mais la qualité & la fraîcheur de la nourriture étaient au rendez-vous. Service très courtois & décontracté. Beau menu varié.
Un endroit exceptionnel à tous les points de vue.
Je m'y sens bien & j'y fait toujours de belles découvertes.
C'est plus qu'un repas: c'est une expérience!
A busy Friday night so a bit slow service 730-800pm but all was lovely, tasty, well presented, friendly service. 3rd visit in 2 months. Prices reasonable & good quality. Enjoy!!
