Review Summary

Melba is widely celebrated as a premier dining destination in Quebec City, known for its creative, high-quality French fusion cuisine and intimate, cozy atmosphere. Guests frequently praise the small plates concept, which allows for a variety of flavorful and meticulously prepared dishes that often exceed expectations. While the service is largely described as professional, attentive, and knowledgeable, the detailed menu explanations and pace of service are occasionally viewed as either an engaging touch or a slight delay depending on personal preference. Despite minor notes regarding noise levels or occasional wait times, the majority of visitors highlight the restaurant as an exceptional, memorable experience that consistently delivers on both food quality and presentation, making it a highly recommended gem that earns its prestigious reputation.

Le Melba est, & de loin, mon coup de coeur restaurant ! Des plats frais, mettant en valeur les produit du terroir avec des palettes de goûts exquises. La carte change régulièrement & chacune de mes expériences ont été hors du commun, en plus de l'excellent rapport qualité prix. Je recommande fréquemment cette petite pépite à mon entourage ❤?

From the outside, Melba may seem unassuming, but step inside & you're instantly transported into a chic, elegant dining experience. The decor & ambiance are top-tier-luxurious yet warm & inviting. The food was well-executed & flavorful, with thoughtful presentation throughout. While our personal preference leaned toward the food at their sister restaurant, Battuto, we're so glad we had the chance to experience Melba. It's a beautifully designed space that offers a refined & memorable evening out.

Creative & fun food options. Make sure you reserve a spot ahead of time! Atmosphere is cool & casual. Lots of people in pants & sweaters. Show up & be prepared to relax & enjoy!

Service was a bit slow - we were seated for about three hours. I think even 30 mins less would have been a big improvement.

Plates are smaller, but perfect for sharing. For two people we spent about $200 before tip & tax. This is with drinks, two appetizers, dessert, bread, & three entrees.

Menu seems to change week to week, which shows how dedicated the restaurant is to the dining experience.

Scallops & mussels were a highlight to us. We also loved their bread.

Dauphine ravioli seems to be there specialty - we enjoyed it, but didn't love it.

On New Years Eve, we were able to get a last minute reservation thanks to cancellation they had. Melba was super friendly over the phone & that carried through to their service during our meal.

We loved loved loved everything. They clearly know what they are doing here. Highly recommend.

Bel endroit discret de l'extérieur. Accueillant, on nous accueil rapidement, on prend en charge nos par dessus qu'on nous rapporte à la fin du repas. Les cocktails ne se démarquent pas pour le prix. Rien à dire pour la sommellerie, bonne variété offerte. Le repas est composé de hors d'oeuvres & de petits plats à partager. Délicieux. On s'est offert trois hors d'oeuvres & trois plats (ma compagne & moi) tel que suggéré par notre avenante hôtesse. On y a ajouté un petit pain de fesse maison. Majoritairement de belles présentations, soignées avec de belles verdures. Alors, les bémols concernent uniquement la générosité des plats. Insuffisant, portion vraiment trop petite. Pour cette raison & pour le prix facturé pour celles-ci, je n'y reviendrai pas mais, content de l'avoir essayé.
