"Cité du Multimedia’s condo tower-lined strip of William Street is home to several compelling food options, including this bright and airy all-day spot. Mélisse’s short but satisfying menu is Mediterranean-leaning, featuring tartines with salmon gravlax or ricotta pancakes with pistachios for weekend brunch and crudo, pasta, and falafels for weekday lunch and dinner." - Eater Staff

"Known as a long-running fine dining destination, Mélisse is the Westside restaurant that established Chef Josiah Citrin’s reputation; Augie’s on Main serves as a much more casual outlet alongside his namesake Citrin and other projects." - Farley Elliott

"For lunch in Old Montreal I consistently found that this place never disappoints and remained a reliable lunch choice." - Eater Staff

"Sayegh trained under chef Josiah Citrin at Michelin-starred Mélisse, a pedigree he has applied to creating cannabis meals and elevated, paced tasting menus." - Mona Holmes

"Chef Josiah Citrin spoke about the process of regaining two Michelin stars after losing them a decade ago, outlining what it takes to restore the restaurant's former two-star recognition." - Mona Holmes
