Unfortunately I did not like this place! The two stars are for the friendly host & cool seating area. We sat on stools, street view it was entertaining looking at people lol The menu is in French only...they didn't have English menu, but the waiter was kind enough to translate. The food was not to my liking! Carpaccio was a bit too salty for my taste but overall it was OK. The fungi pizza was basic, nothing special! The flavor was not all that! I was hoping for some flavor explosion but that was not the case, just a thin dough mushroom pizza. The portion of the shrimp risotto was ridiculously small! The shrimp itself was tiny and weird! I didn't like the flavors either! Not worth the $28 for sure! Overall, it was a disappointment and I don't recommend going there. Ended up paying $79 plus tip! Never again.

Situated on the corner of Parc and Sherbrooke is Moleskine, a quaint pizzeria with soaring ceilings and a causal flare. The place is bustling with conversation, old music tunes, and the aroma of amazing thin crust pizzas. The server immediately sat me and my friend near the kitchen bar stool - the seating is very limited but the place was packed. It was really cool to see the kitchen staff working away at rapid speed preparing pizzas so perfectly. I decided on a classic margherita pizza. A few short minutes later the pizza arrived piping hot. The charcoal bubbles were still oozing and the fresh fior di latte cheese was lightly melting on the hot crust. There was also fresh basil added which was a nice touch. The waitress also brought over some chilli oil, which was a nice addition to the pizza. The pizza had a nice thin crust - and a nice balance of ingredients that was fresh and satisfying. A perfect spot for a margherita pizza - I will definitely return.

Margherita!

I've heard alot of great comments about Moleskine and finally decided to try it out. Ordering was easy over the phone. They are all setup of safe pickup, you follow a flow of arrows to receive and pay for your order so you don't come in contact with other people. Went with just a simple margherita pizza and it was really good! We also ordered their brownie and chocolate sauce ice cream, which exceeded my expectations. The ice cream is delicious and the ratio of ice cream to brownies is generous is (1:1). Really great experience, support your local businesses!

Carbonara pizza--pretty soggy in the middle
Alice F.

Stopped by on a soggy Friday night. Service was friendly, but the rest of the experience was weird. We sat downstairs in the center seating area, and it was incredibly awkward to get into the center seats. You are literally climbing over other people. To get out, I ended up crawling under the table! Menu had several pizzas, so maybe we just ordered the wrong ones. Carbonara pizza was soggy in the middle. The Verdura was downright soupy. The pizza delivered next to us looked good, so I hope I just ordered badly. It seemed like a good idea at the time, and like I said, the service was friendly, but the food was not great.

Finally got to try this place on their official day open I believe. The decor stays a five star. It's a beautiful restaurant. It's cool and trendy. It utilizes the space perfectly. The seating is comfortable. But I will ultimately give this place a 3. The food is delicious but the service was a bit rusty. Which makes sense because this was their opening. The cons: Someone who came in after us got served before. There were no napkins on the tables. They forgot to punch in our order so our food took a little too long to get here. I felt like they overlooked us because we looked younger than other people there. I don't like that they judged us so quick. They basically dismissed us. The food: I ordered the frittata and my boyfriend ordered a pizza. The portions were small for the price and we ended up having to go somewhere else because we were still hungry. The frittata was lovely though. Really tasty and fun to eat. There was a side salad and it was good except the dressing was a bit too sharp and sour for me. The pizza dough is perfect. And all the flavours work together. You can tell it was made with care and attention. It was fresh. Overall, an ok experience. The staff was nice and it's not a bad place to eat and talk.

Crazy good mushroom pizza
Risa D.

I was in the area attending a talk at McGill's New Residents Hall with my Mom and we got twitchy hungry after and needed to find a nice dinner option. I was so happy I chose to bring Mom to Moleskine! We moseyed in and got seated close to the warm first pizza oven right away by the super kind and friendly staff. Everyone was chatty and accommodating and the vibe was lovely. I'd come back here on a date for sure, or with a friend, the lighting layout and decor were all welcoming and beautifully done and we loved listening to the old vinyl records while we waited for our food. And the food was great. I think you could have quite a fancy pricey meal here, but we just had a pizza each, thin and with awesome quality toppings and big enough for a couple slices of leftovers each. My mushroom and truffle oil pizza was heaven, and Mom loved her vegetarian so much she ordered another to bring to my sister. I have to admit, I think I subconsciously avoided this place because I find the name deeply unappetizing. I'm really glad I looked past it and got to have this lovely friendly delicious experience with my Mom.

Do you remember or still experience your best Sunday night dinner in the kitchen with your mom, dad, uncle etc? Well this was exactly what we experienced at Moleskine! My cousin came into town so we decided to try this out and it was exactly what we needed to have our intimate conversation. It's really cozy there. If you have personal space issues then this may not be for you BUT it is worth a try. It's a bit pricey but for a cute date night, it should be on your list. The food was delicious! Honestly it was a 5- star service. We sat right next to the kitchen (open space) and we not only got to experience the food and flavor, but we also got to experience and witness The chefs in their natural element and it was both a beautiful symphony and a lovely moment. Get prepared to spend a few hours eating good, talking and enjoying the time with your company because this place it

Salsiccia: tomato sauce, sausage, fior di latte, peppers, arugula and grana padano cheese sprinkled on top
Beril E.

After looking up the most trendy restaurants to visit in Montréal, I had high expectations of this place. After my fabulous experience at Rubirosa Ristorante in NYC, I have acquired a fascination toward small restaurants with craft Italian thin crust pizzas and I thought this was going to be one of them. Moleskine definitely is small. With a few table and mostly bar seating options available, parties larger than four will definitely need some luck to sit with each other for dinner. The restaurant seemed to be pretty empty at around 6pm, right after they opened, which could be a prime time to visit to ensure immediate seating. I found the concept of paper underneath our plates and pencil to write on the paper to be cute. It reminded me of a game I used to play as a child connecting the dots with my mom. Helped the time go by fast. Since the place was empty at 6, we ordered pretty quickly. Our pizza of choice was Salsiccia which had tomato sauce, sausage, arugula, peppers, fior di latte, and grana padano cheese sprinkled on top. Considering the price of the pizza, we were expecting a large thin crust pizza for two, but what came instead was a tiny pizza that could have easily been consumed by a 10 year-old child. The tomato sauce made the thin crust pizza so soggy that the pizza was falling apart in our hands and upon consumption of one slice each, we looked like babies who got their food all over their hands and faces. The sausage pieces were few and far in between and the rest of the ingredients were just meh. With empty stomachs, instead of preparing for another disappointment with yet another pizza, we decided to save our 20 bucks and feed ourselves elsewhere. Despite the emptiness of the space, the waitress was quick to offer us our check upon our informing her of our decision not to get another pizza. I found such service a bit sloppy.

Spring peas and wild mushroom omelette.
Barry E.

I've been here twice for dinner (upstairs) and once for brunch, and I can say that it is one of my favourite Montreal restaurants, especially in the Downtown/McGill area. The cuisine is both creative and delicious, not to mention beautifully plated. As is usually the case with such restaurants, the menu changes constantly to reflect what is fresh and in season. Regardless of when you go though, you can rest assured that the food will be delicious. For my most recent visit, which was for brunch, I had the crab and shrimp omelette with béarnaise sauce, which was absolutely decadent. They also inadvertently served me the mushroom and spring peas omelette, of which I had a bite, and it too was bursting with fresh spring flavors. Both were prepared with exquisite care. These were not your garden variety omelettes. The ambiance here is very relaxed and casual, and the servers are very helpful in explaining everything on the menu.

Mornay pizza
Gabrielle L.

I first read about this restaurant on eater and I really wanted to like it but it was so mediocre. Pizza is my favorite dish so you can understand why I was so excited to try this place. Plus the reviews on yelp are so good that my expectations were high. It definitely did not live up to my expectations. My aunt and I shared the pizza of the day and the Mornay. The pizza of the day had corn and chorizo. The Mornay had mushrooms and cheese. First of all the pizzas were not very warm. Also we sat next to the window and it was so cold. Second, the pizzas were super thin! I like thin crust pizza but this was almost too thin. Third, its not cheap! It is not worth the $18-$19 that we paid. If you want thin crust wood fire pizza go to il focolaio!! It's the best!

Grilled zucchini salad with lemon and crushed pistachios
Issan Z.

There used to be an old family-style Greek restaurant where Moleskine now stands. When the new owners moved in, they transformed the slightly tacky interior into an aerated, modern space with an industrial feel. Some details from the past remain: the original blue door, rough cement floor and parts of the ceiling/walls. We went to Moleskine early on a Friday evening. The restaurant was still empty, and from the front windows came a light breeze, mixing agreably with the subtle smell of wood fire. We shared an entrée (grilled zucchini salad with lemon and crushed pistachios), and each ordered a pizza (margherita and chanterelles/prosciutto). We were fooling around with the funny pencil dangling from the ceiling when the food came. The zucchini salad was like a summer dream. The lemon and pesto made it fresh and vibrant, the zucchinis were on the verge of being raw, and the ricotta added richness and density. The portion was relatively small, but left our tastebuds satisfied. The pizzas were served one after we finished the other, starting with the margherita. I hadn't asked for this, and was initially surprised we would not be served at the same time. Perhaps they knew that we would share? Anyways, it worked out great for us. Speaking of the pizzas, they were pretty much everything you could hope for. The margherita made the most of its simplicity. Although thin, the dough remained crispy at the bottom and delightfully moist on top. The second pizza was in my opinion even better than the first. It had the classic Italian combination of chanterelles and prosciutto, where the fattiness of the meat was counterbalanced by the fava beans, green peas and mint. Goat cheese was added on top of it all. After such a great meal, we sat for awhile at the windows of the restaurant, thinking that our neighbourhood was definitively getting better and better. Moleskine's first floor reminded me of Pizzeria No. 900, which I tried last week. Both places have a fancy pizza oven and are in the same price range, but I think that Moleskine's food is just that tad better - not only are the products amazing, the flavor combinations are bolder and better thought-out. Can't wait to try their other goods!

Great place upstairs and downstairs although two very different menus. Great atmosphere and music! Only downside is the slow service! The staff is knowledgeable and polite but it took a while (both times we went) to get rid of our empty plates and be giving the bill. The only reason I gave this a 4 instead of a 5 like before is that the service was the same, all 3 times I went...Slow.

Revisiting No900 six months after my last trip to Montreal and the staff that I'd gotten to…read morerecognize and know by name were not present, and that was slightly sad. However, the staff I encountered this time were just as efficient, energetic, and competent. The pizza, which I chose to build this time, was excellent as always. One word of caution that if you use their online ordering and are therefore routed to Toast or some other order service: I could swear that I was shown that the order would be started immediately and ready in 25-35 minutes. When I arrived at No900 about 25 minutes later I was told that the order had been configured to be ready at a certain time, and that time was about 25 minutes in the future from the time I arrived. I was shown the order info and can't deny the fact...but that isn't what I thought I ordered, so pay close attention to what is shown when ordering online so you get what you want.

The pizza here is on a top 50 list and it did not disappoint. This was our first dinner in…read moreMontreal. We were one of the last parties to be served on a Friday night. Wish they would have told us it was going to be last call before we tried to order one more drink. The server told us that the bar closed ten minutes ago, and was very apologetic. So we ordered another pizza to go. We also had our last meal there. It was a little busy and they were short-staffed so they did not come around much and it took a long time to get our food that time. But it was worth it. Pizza is very good. So we're the meatballs.

Montreal now has world class pizza! After many years of coming here and being forced to eat…read morepoutine, smoked meat, great steaks, and Canadian interpretations on various cuisines ... I now have a pizza option that rivals the best of NY, New Haven, and all the rest! Pizza Bouquet is labeled as a hybrid of other styles (NY and New Haven) and they are spot on ... more leaning to the NY version. This is exceptional pizza created by an energetic and passionate staff. I have only been there once, but in that short visit it was obvious that the pizza reflects the people that work there ... creative, fun, unique, and welcoming. They sell several great pies and actually offer both slices and whole pies. I ordered a pepperoni and hot pepper pie but as I sat there I had to get a slice of their upside down pie. While they were both outstanding, I have to say, what I cannot stop thinking about was that upside down slice. That was freaking magical. I would eat it there through because of the complexity and nuances of the actual pizza. Do not let this one sit ... trust me. Overall, this is a destination pizza in my book ,,, welcome to the world of pizza relevance Pizza Bouquet ... you guys do it right. Special shout out to the lovely ladies that danced through the entire preparation of my pie. Loved everything about this place!

New Montreal style pizza…read more Considering I've not heard of or tried "old Montreal style pizza"; just sayin'. The crust, similar to the NYC pie. Thin, gently crisp, some chew and char. Easily foldable. Follow it up with just the right amount of quality ingredients are brought together in just the right proportions with quirky flair. Upside down pizza (cheese first, sauce on top) or stranger still, a double carb potato pizza. Speaking of, the potato pie is so good. All the ingredients from a potato mille feuille with a hit of fresh rosemary and grana padano atop the well made crust. Rich, creamy, nuff said. Equally good the mushroom with its "mushroom cream" (think a thin duxelles) base, rosemary to season and meaty creminis and motz to round it all out. Finally the sopressatta. I mean, come on, who doesn't love a cheese pie made even more complex with goat cheese, honey and grana padano? Sold by the slice or whole 18 inch pie. Inexpensive. Is it better than the NYC pie? No. But it's definitely not as boring either.

I had researched it beforehand, and with all the excellent reviews and its prime location, I booked a table for 8. Let me tell you, it is one of THE best restaurants we've dined at here in Montreal. Location: It is nestled on the heart of Old Montreal- one of the prettiest parts of the city. Parking spots are found on the street- but be careful as this touristy part is notorious for giving out tickets. The best is to park in the science center garage close by - it's a bit pricy for $35 to park but you will not lose patience scavenging for a spot! The walk is also nice too. The service: We immediately were greeted by a hostess and seated at our table. We had a friendly waiter who provided great suggestions and pairings. He made sure to check on us through our dinner which we really appreciated. Food: Now the best part... the food was delicious!! We had a few appetizers to start: crispy calamari, arancini and a Caesar salad. They pride on their pizza being "authentic" Italian and after taking one bite, you can say yes it is! The crust is cooked to perfection, and they have many selection- we chose a classic margarita for the kids - and salame for the adults. Both were gobbled up quickly! Finally, we had said it was for a birthday celebration. And they brought out two beautiful dessert pizzas!!! I've NEVER tried anything like that before. They were absolutely delicious. Not only did we get one, but TWO which was more then enough for each member in our group to have one (and in my kids case, two or three haha). It was a major highlight to the night! So I definitely recommend coming here to celebrate special occasions as it will leave a memorable mark for you and each guest. I will definitely be back again soon!!!
