Bistro Moulin

If you are visiting Monterey, do yourself a favor and get off the wharf for a night and have a memorable meal at Bistro Moulin. The understated elegance of the interior and food keeps us coming back every time we visit from West Texas. Run by a sweet family, you are likely to meet at least one of them during your dining experience. If you enjoy wine, their list is reason enough to go, and you must have their tartufone chocolate for dessert. Bon Appetit!

Went to have our 10th year wedding anniversary dinner. Our waiter was super nice and knowledgeable. She suggested us a very good wine (probably one of the best wines we've had) to go with our dishes. We were seated right away when we got there, it was around 5:30pm. We were asked if we wanted still or frizz, we chose frizz (san pellegrino) -- NOT FREE! We then ordered our delicious appetizer (smoke salmon carpaccio with capers). Make sure you use the lemon zest it was bomb! The bread they served was fresh and delicious! I got pasta with truffles, and my husband ordered the cannelloni tartufi (it's a filled pasta with beef tenderloin, ricotta, truffle, and pink vodka sauce) so.good. ! We finished it up with a delicious chocolate sorbet dessert. French food never disappoints. The ambiance is great! We never ran out of wine in our glass. Our waitress was very attentive, i wish i got her name. She deserves a raise! Overall, we had a great time. A must try! P.S. i had a great time doing my own fancy food plate art. 😉 the last 4 photos are the real plate. 🙂🙃

We loved it when it was the old owner and now also the new owner from Capri. On a Friday night we arrived to a bit of a noisy upbeat full restaurant we had reservations and were seated at a window. We ordered a salad to shares, gnocchi appetizer with delicious cream sauce that you’ll want to save to dip your bread and French fries in. My main corse was moules and Frits. Partner had the stuffed pasta shells with sirloin etc. shared a desert pistachio cake on the lighter side. We were stuffed and everything was delicious. The server had suggested a great French Chablis. It quieted down towards the end of our meal. Yum we’ll go again

Amazing restaurant on all fronts, featuring a stellar atmosphere with a nice “local café” feel. If you’re in the Monterey Bay Area, this place will satisfy you and any dietary restrictions you might bring with you. Note: this spot has great food, and even greater service, but I’d recommend making a reservation if you choose to dine here.

Service, from the maître d', server and other waitstaff was enthusiastic and incredible. The busser assigned to our table was extremely attentive, and deserves to be recognized even more. She (and her coworkers) ensured that water was always filled, knew exactly when to help pack our leftovers, and was always there when needed. Together with our server, they made the meal such a delight. Portions were large too: i had the French onion soup, shared Pate, and had the carbonara main. The pasta itself would've been enough for me, and I'm someone who can wolf down an awfully large amount of food. Ambience was what you'd expect but these days may not get from a "bougie" restaurant: white tablecloth, flowers on the table, proper silverware etc. One minor knock: they ask if you want sparkling or still, without proffering tap (the more eco+cost friendly option) unless asked.
