Wow, i really do think if Michelin star rating was a thing in Montreal that Mousso really deserves it. I feel so emotional coming out of the restaurant because every single dish of the 13 course tasting menu wowed me. The creativity of the pairing of the ingredients is beyond me. And i was sad every time I was done with my dish! And we couldn’t have asked for a more genuine service! Wow, most definitely recommend to anyone wanting to treat themselves to one of the best meal you can get in Montreal!

Magnifique soirée, menu très impressionnant. C'est bien de pouvoir aprécier une bonne expérience gastronomique sans avoir l'ambience chic/bourgeoise qui vient trop souvent avec. L'ambiance est très festive, une valeur qualité/quantité/prix excellente. Définitivement à refaire!
One of the best culinary experiences I’ve ever had so far. I’ve been waiting to try this restaurant for about 2 years. Most of the dishes were extremely amazing and well done. Also the wine pairing was pretty good. Every penny was worth the quality. If you’re looking for incredible and outstanding food, this is the right place to go. 100% recommended!
This is a unique culinary experience with exquisite dishes made from local ingredients. The portions are not huge, but because of the variety and the amount of services, you do end up coming out of there full. One thing that is a little more unconventional is that everyone in the restaurant eats at the same time. That means each service is brought out at the same time. Whether you eat faster or slower doesn't matter. Needless to say, it will inevitably be a 3-hour long meal with interruptions in-between each dish because someone is at the front explaining how the meat is cooked, how the sauce is made, what is sprinkled on top, which region each ingredient is from, etc. There's also a detailed explanation of the wine pairing (should you decide to include that). It's creative, it's innovative, it's lavish, it's bougie... It's honestly absolutely fantastic, but it's not for everyone!
Just incredible. Almost no words to describe an 11 course 4 hr meal w exquisite pairing a lot of which is sourced from local produce. The plating also equally impressive. Having the chef introduce each course as the whole room eat together is a fun inclusive touch as well. Go once and try it.
Worth every penny
( and there is a lot of them needed too!)
We had an amazing evening at Le Mousso. The food was delicious and the staff really knew every little detail about the plates they were presenting us.
We got to try different and interesting wines that went so well with the multiple plates.
I would highly recommend if you are looking for a great culinary experience with interesting and fun takes on plates.
Don't be fooled by the laid back attitude from the open kitchen. This food is outstanding and many of the dishes could very well appear in a Michelin starred restaurant. The service is outstanding with that modest and friendly Montreal vibe. Even though they'll fold your napkin when you go to the washroom they're not at all snotty like I've seen in some higher end restaurants in Europe that would serve similar quality foods.
I've only been there once but I hear that the menu changes often and it would make sense from the use of in-season ingredients. There were a few local ingredients that were used in ways I had never seen before... like the mustard flowers with lamb or the sorrel with white chocolate dessert. Other ingredients I didn't know exist locally like saffron from a nearby mountain I actually hike regularly. They played on flavours by fermenting many things themselves or extracting flavours through other means to add colour and flavour to sauces and emulsions.
The wine pairing was also quite interesting adding sake and a cocktail in the mix. We were impressed with the knowledge of the sommelier on the wine he served us.
You can expect about 3 hours to eat the tasting menu on a busy night. This isn't fast food and you should go there with good company to enjoy the wonderful array of inventions that come out of that kitchen.
Bravo! We weren’t sure what to expect, but let me tell you, if you’re in Montreal, you absolutely MUST try this restaurant out. I love the unique concept and experimental nature of this experience. Sit back, relax, and enjoy an experience that is simply phenomenal. Our experience was personable, one-of-a-kind, and honestly something very special. Well worth the price and the four and a half hour dining experience. Congratulations to the Chef and his team. We will remember this night forever.
