La Table à Mo

Granby

Bistro

Review Summary

La Table à Mo draws mixed reviews, with praise for cooking quality, an open kitchen, and a warm, friendly atmosphere with attentive service. Diners note the dishes are fresh and well prepared, and some highlight standout items like foie de veau and an original menu, though portions can feel lean and prices high for what is offered. There are criticisms, including oysters that were fried in advance and reheated, some burnt or rubbery, and a pulled pork burger described as soaked while the pork was dry. The seafood chowder is tasty but pricey for the small amounts of mussels, shrimp and a mini scallop. Online photos reportedly do not always reflect the menus served, and the restaurant's small, popular space makes reservations advisable, even at lunch. Overall, experiences vary, but consistency in quality and freshness, along with warm service, remains a common thread.View restaurant profile
