4.6 / 5.0(1,306 reviews)

hey, Melisse is an exquisite spot to relish a delightful brunch with friends while savoring delectable meals. The interior exudes a cozy cottage chic vibe, making it an ideal retreat during stormy days or sunny afternoons. The only minor drawback is that the dining area can be a bit noisy. One of the best total experiences of our Canada trip. Very nice atmosphere, well-informed waitresses, perfectly prepared food and corresponding drinks. This place totally stole my heart 💛 Honestly the best shakshuka I’ve ever had perfectly made and full of flavor. The mortadella sandwich was unreal too, like the kind of sandwich is perfect for a summer day. The staff were so kind and helpful! The energy here is just so good , and the patio is absolutely gorgeous, the kind of spot you want to sit for hours with friends. I’ll 100% be recommending this spot to everyone I know!

I absolutely love Restaurant Mélisse and the incredible team that works there! My husband and I were recently married there, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect experience. Before the wedding, we had dined there many times with our families for both brunch and dinner, and every single visit was outstanding. The food is always exceptional. It is beautifully presented, very yummy, and clearly made with care. The desserts are also amazing as well as their drinks! The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, and the staff go above and beyond to make every guest feel special. They are attentive to dietary restrictions. Our daytime wedding was everything we hoped it would be. Benoit and the entire team were amazing. They were attentive, professional, and genuinely kind. Our guests were so happy with everything and the family style sharing plates were a hit. They made sure every detail was taken care of and made us feel completely at ease. We will always be grateful to them for helping create such a memorable day. We can’t wait to go back again soon! We highly recommend Restaurant Mélisse! Thank you!!!
