A quiet restaurant away from the more touristy spots on Cannery Row and near the wharf, Bistro Moulin is the perfect spot for casual, relaxed dining.
The staff were very nice and ready to answer any questions about their menu. The charcuterie board was very good but also a lot of food.

I read a lot of reviews, was a huge fan of the escargot!! & The gnocchi was phenomenal!!!!!!! Loved these dishes…
Highly recommend these appetizer.
Would not get the wild boar ragu again.
Service was amazing!!! Family owned and well taken care of.
Dessert special was mediocre had the ice cream puff balls and was not something I would get again.

From start to finish. Welcome to departure and everything in between what a meal. Perfection in plate presentation, temperature and oh my Lord the flavors. This is Monterey County’s very best restaurant. Service is also excellent since ownership duo lead that effort too. Place was full of very happy customers but is always is. Our #1 choice. Happy New Year!!!! Cheers

My girlfriend and I visited this place last week and I’m writing in from FL! Dining at this place was truly an experience. Not only was the entire staff extremely welcoming and knowledgeable of the menu, but the food was remarkable! Every ingredient seemed to be hand selected to craft the perfect symphony of flavors. The scallops appetizer was amazing – hands down the best either of us have ever had! I had the chefs special with grouper (catch of the day) and my girlfriend had the filet! 5 stars isn’t enough! We will be back!

My wife and I had a superb dining experience there last night. The food (she had the duck & I the Tortellini along with mussels appetizer plus deserts) was outstanding as was the service. The owner really knows his stuff and made recommendations that were spot-on.
If you are in Monterey you’d be very happy if you eat there!

We have been coming here for almost 20 years (at least twice a year except the last 2 years). Went here tonight and was shocked at the service and the quality of the food. Did not know there were new owners. Unfortunately cannot recommend one of our former favorite restaurants anymore. Shot out to Geraldo who made our experience the best it could be. You’re a rock star and too bad the owners don’t behave like you! So disappointed and won’t be returning. Also found it quite odd there was a small dog in the restaurant barking at customers where the owners were justifying the dog’s actions??? They clearly don’t care I ordered the mussels, which we’re not great. My husband’s duck confit was braised duck at best. So grateful I did not order my former favorite dish because I’m sure I would be saying a lot more.

An unassuming European bistro with beautifully-done dishes that will leave your senses delighted and your belly happy! Every dish that we had was delicious — escargot, FOS, lasagna (special,) gnocchi, profiteroles (special,) and Pistachio cake — and we couldn’t stop raving about the lovely, airy texture of the handmade Italian gnocchi and the deep richness of each of the dishes that we tried. A favorite now in the area, that every local should try! The owners, Frederico and Sabrina were such gracious and beautiful hosts, and they made us, and every guest in the restaurant, feel as if we were treasured family coming together for a meal. A must-eat-at establishment!

We visited on a Sunday evening and Chef Federico greeted us with a smile and waited on us the entire meal. We had four delightful courses and chef paired amazing wines with each course!! Thank you for the fantastic dining experience!!

An absolute gem!
Wow, Bistro Moulin was amazing! Chef Frederico recommended the French-style gnocchi and I’m so glad he did – it was incredible, easily one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time.
The menu has a great mix of locally sourced and specialty items, plus they had a ton of daily specials which made it hard to choose (but in a good way!). There’s really something for everyone, and the wine list is thoughtfully put together.
Service was top-notch – friendly and attentive without hovering. And bonus: parking on Thursday night was easy and free, which is always a win.
You can tell Chef Frederico has put so much care into this place. His passion comes through in the food and the whole experience. We’re already planning our next visit to try more of the menu.

I wish I could have rated the food higher!
More on that later.
On arrival we were warmly greeted and offered a couple of different seating options.
Choosing to sit by the window looking out over the street and passing parade.
We decided on champagne to start with and being a little warmer than my preference we tried a glass light French rose whilst the champers chilled.
We ordered scallops and the salmon ceviche for starters. Both excellent and quite large serves.
For mains we had the fish and steak. I’m a huge carnivore and the steak was as good of a it better than I’ve had anywhere in the world! Yes I know this is a big statement but it’s true!
Of course we had a glass of Pinot noir and a white to accompany both dishes.
Staff attentiveness was great without being OTT.
We dined here about 5 years ago. It was good then but is awesome now!
