We went on a Tueday night and Melanie's had a special: $24 for an appetizer and entree, or the same price for entree & dessert. It was our first time there and we really enjoyed it. The menu includes popular items but served with a twist. For our appetizer we chose the house-made liver pate and the goat cheese salad,... More

We were in Toronto for work and were taken to Melanie's bistro for lunch. It was so good we went back for dinner the next night! In all we tried almost everything on the menu - Cannot recall everything we are but the lobster mac and cheese lives up to its billing. Meat was excellent and the chicken tikka wrap... More

We've been to Melanie's twice now, and have been blown away by the quality of the food both times. They got a fabulous review in the local paper, too. But we've found that it can be a bit slow at times. Melanie herself takes care of the customers and is a very hands-on owner. This time we just had the... More

My boyfriend and I attempted to go to Melanie's Bistro for dinner as we heard such great things about it. We didn't have reservations but took a chance that there may be a table. I completely understand that when you don't have a reservation at a busy restaurant there is a high probablity you won't get seated or will have... More

Have wanted to eat at this restaurant for a while, but as it is small, it requires at least a coupld of weeks advance planning to get reservations on the weekend. Really interesting menu, famous for their mac and cheese with lobster appetizer (rich enough for 2) and very reasonable. Good selection of pastas, fish, meat and vegetarian offerings. Attentive...

A place our neighbourhood enjoys. (It's not an Italian restaurant either as an earlier review suggested. It's a local bistro.) Great breakfast. The homemade vegetarian soup, pulled pork sandwich, and other items are great for lunch. I enjoy eathing here with friends and family. The chocolate mousse cake is a favorite. Melanie makes all the desserts herself.

Gourmet Italian food in a diner setting restaurant located east of Greektown. Limited selections on the menu plus special daily offers. Price is reasonable. Good eats but not worth to make a special trip for it.
