Flavors were amazing here. I wanted to order everything on the menu, but restrained myself. Loved the spinach gnocchi for appetizer. Ratatouille was also good, but I can make it at home. Main courses were fabulous, well presented, nice combination and variety of flavors that hit the palate with every bite. I had the fish special -- sea bass with... more

This is a French restaurant in Monterey. It's very small inside and looks pretty nice. However, that's pretty much where the good points end. Low points: The food is OK, but overpriced and I've had much better elsewhere. Menu is limited. Service is not bad but not great. It's very cramped inside so you can't really have an intimate dinner.... more

This place, a block off Cannery Row, is intimate and very French. The menu features the traditional staples like Coc au Vin and Moules Mariniere. Service is professional and attentive without being overbearing. The place is small, so make a reservation, and the chef likes to close up early, so plan on dinining before 8pm. The food is great value... more

The atmosphere at Bistro Moulin is that of comfort and relaxation. It's small, but not too small. The kitchen is located in the center of the restaurant, providing a great sense of home and family. Chef/Owner Didier masterfully crafts his dishes with the perfect mixture of elegance, texture and flavor. I had one of the specials: Roasted Rabbit w/Fricassee of... more

It is certainly a hidden gem at the Monterey Bay albeit its unvarnished exterior (we missed it once and had a long detour - Downtown Monterey seems to be made out of one-way streets!). The waiting staffs were friendly and attentive. We were delighted to be greeted with delicious mini baguettes and home-made carrot paste from the house. For appetizers,... more

The waitress was so nice to explain everything in this French restaurant. The service was very good. They started us off with slices of toast and a carrot spread. Then my husband had French Onion Soup and I had Spinach Gnocchi in a cheese sauce. It's kind of a dumpling. Delicious! I had a fillet of Sole with cooked fennel... more

Was very surprised it was so close to the Aquarium! Charming ambiance, good wine list - the rose was bone dry and paired well with the pate and escargot. Reasonably priced with tasty food and excellent service. more

This was a great little place off Cannery Row that made you feel like you HAD stepped into a little bit of France right when you walk in. We were excited about this place because they serve Moules Frites -- steamed mussels with a side of fries and we were not disappointed! The large serving of mussels were perfectly cooked... more
