Le Mousso

Wow! A legend in action! Chef Antonin Mousseau is the sun of amazing Quebec poet Michel Rivard, Grandson of Jean-​Paul Mousseau, who painted many Montréal Métro masterpieces. Color and originality show up on the plate. Small restaurant, attentive service, original wine list, and Awesome chef! The Montréal en lumières menu is outstanding! If you can get a reservation, you ought to try it. The menu is a list of seven colors. And every dish is spectacular. Fresh, well prepared, and so tasty!
The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and so much fun. Could you believe four gras wrapped in candy floss? Well it was delicious.
Glad to see Antonin has now is own little spot!

Can I put 10+ stars? I took my husband here for his 35^th birthday dinner and I never saw him like this. We were greeted with so much warmth and felt comfortable right away. Started with delicious cocktails then the waiter came to start our journey on this exceptional foodie experience! I will try and describe each dish as accurately as possible. It was a menu in collaboration with the Festival Montréal en Lumière. So i took the seven service with wine pairing menu and Felix took the eight service with wine pairing menu and the extra truffles in one of the dishes. Every dish was as mesmerizing as the other. Not one single bad criticism about any. I am, by profession, a pastry chef and usually would have something to criticize about. Nope. Not this time! We were taking on an unforgettable journey! I am a sucker for good service. Ok. This, what we had was exceptional service! I will most definitely come back as soon as I can. The bill totalled up to about 450 $ and it was all worth it. A special occasion for a special person in my life at a special restaurant! Look out for Jocelyn. He was our waiter. Attentive, professional, nice and all around very pleasant to talk to! Cute too if I might add!

A must in Montréal ! Bring your girlfriend there, she’ll love it. There is only one menu so take it or leave it but trust me you’ll want to take it !! It was delicious, and the wine matches perfectly the different plates. Good to know: on Wednesdays the 7 services meal is $ 50 only ! But you easily end up paying much more with a few drinks ! Like Arnold Schwarzenegger said: «I’ll be back» :)

Menu fixe gastronomique 7 services ! Créatif, goûteux & artistique !
Bravo au chef & son équipe ! Vraiment réussi de A à Z. Beau local, déco simple, cuisine inventive, très beau visuellement, petits plats succulents (ex:poireaux /​moules beurre /​noisette) de la haute gastronomie revisitée. Très bon service & courtoisie de notre barmen/​serveur au bar. Formule unique de 7 services (mercredi 50 $) & (jeudi au samedi 60 $), rajouté 45 $ pour les accords de vins. De plus, on peut choisir des extras (amuse bouche +10 $), pain (+5 $) ou encore durant le service prendre l’option supplémentaire (pétoncle/​foie/​prune +12 $). Niveau prix, pour deux personnes donc, au final avec extras, +apéro/​digestif/​alcool, +café, +services/​taxes = 387 $. On s’entend que, oui, c’est dispendieux, mais si l’on vient ici, c’est pour des occasions spéciales pour célébrer ou pour les purs foodies qui veulent très bien manger et déguster quelque chose d’artistique et nouveau. Honnêtement, ça valait vraiment la peine et mon invité dans ce cas ci, mon frère fut comblé par son expérience culinaire pour son anniversaire. Que demander de mieux alors. Donc, conclusion, si vous pensez venir ici pour manger des burgers ou des pâtes/​pizzas comme dans plusieurs restaurants, vous vous êtes vraiment trompés, ce n’est pas l’endroit pour. J’aime l’idée de cette formule unique gastronomique de restaurant et je pense que c’est une première à Montréal ! Encore une fois, bravo !
*ps: Pensez à réserver, ça se remplit vite.

Couldn’t wait to try out this new place and am thrilled that we got to try the 7 service fixed menu during le Mousso’s soft opening. We were a party of 4 who reserved for 9h30 on a Thursday night. I called last minute to say we would could only make it for 10pm, thinking they would turn us down but instead they said no problem and that they would accommodate us without a problem. We really appreciated this.
The place was packed upon arrival. Walking into the restaurant felt like walking into a friend’s kitchen. The staff greeted us warmly and our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. I didn’t really have any expectations although I heard good things about the chef’s past work and was really hoping for a good experience.
The tasting menu was a fixed 7 service meal. Every single plate was a work of art and meticulously put together. I really appreciated how much thought was put into the pairing of ingredients, tastes and textures. Everything was good, and 4 of the plates really impressed me. The mussels and tartar were to die for, and so was the dessert. It was a little pricey with taxes and tip but worth it for the experience. I really enjoyed the fact that you can finally enjoy fine dining in a completely unpretentious setting (the playlist was a good mix of mostly hip hop tracks). Would recommend it and am looking forward to going back.

Went there for opening night a couple weeks ago with no expectations and no prior knowledge of the chef/​owner nor his past work except for a brief descript over the web. I must say I was more than amazed to the attention of detail given to every single dish. Some were great, others awesome, but all were new, researched and daring. I came here to take a journey through a chef’s mind and discover new flavours and every bit was truly imaginative. A great addition to the scene in the city. Last thing, the fact that hip hop was playing and it’s really a no frills environment which you’d really don’t think of, considering the foods delicacy and presentation. Super cool staff, great wine and the food is more than worth a detour.
