Le Mousso proposes a fixed tasting menu for 250$ per person, there's a wine paring optional also. Every client has to be in the room by 18h30. The night will end around 22h.
Le Mousso opened in 2015 by Chef Antonin Mousseau-Rivard and his partner Katerine Mousseau
Diners describe Le Mousso as a standout, immersive tasting experience where inventive dishes meet clear, engaging explanations and warm, attentive service. The setting feels intimate and welcoming, with a bar option that puts guests at the heart of the kitchen and a team that makes everyone feel at home. Focusing on local Quebec ingredients, the courses are presented as artful explorations of texture and flavor, often accompanied by well crafted wine pairings or thoughtful non alcoholic options. The chef's storytelling and interactive approach guide guests through each course, creating a sense of culture, terroir and collaboration across the team. Reviewers commonly praise the energy, creativity, and the refined yet unpretentious atmosphere that blends high gastronomy with a convivial, family vibe. A few reservations surface about the price point, occasional inconsistency in pacing or seasoning, and comfort at the bar, or the heaviness of seafood emphasis in some menus. Overall, Le Mousso is described as an unforgettable, ambitious destination in Montreal that rewards advance reservations and a willingness to embrace a bold culinary concept.
Came here on a Saturday night & glad I booked a month in advance because it was fully booked! as I walked in I was greeted with the staff's big smile & the dimmed slights made everything so moody & perfect. We sat near at the bar with a good view of the kitchen so our experience was much better as I got to see how the chefs collaborated while I indulged in all the dishes. Owner & chef Antonin Mousso was super friendly & very passionate about bringing the produces from Montreal some creativity & uniqueness, I was awed by all his dishes packed with umami & so much flavor. we enjoyed half wine pairing & the sommelier was super knowledgeable & friendly. I loved my experience here every single customer seemed to be having such a wonderful time!
De loin le meilleur gastro que l'on ait fait à Montréal! La presentation avec le chef qui vient nous expliquer chaque repas du début à la fin du service & qui vient discuter avec nous Des plats de saison, local, de qualité, fait avec une justesse & des mélanges de saveur que l'on n'avait encore jamais goûté. & pour finir, toute l'équipe en cuisine qui vient nous servir les plats qu'ils ont cuisiné dans une ambiance conviviale & chaleureuse. S'il y a un restaurant à tester à Montréal, c'est celui-ci Encore merci à toute l'équipe, c'était incroyable

We absolutely loved Le Mousso, such a beautiful cuisine with amazing quality products, & a lot of innovation with tastes & inspiration from all over the world. You cannot go wrong, the chef & staff are very nice & caring for every details. Last but not least, wine pairing was geniusly done! Nothing to envy to Paris where a lots of chefs excel at what they do!
J'ai un peu tardé à faire mon avis par manque de temps & de mots pour décrire mon expérience fort probablement. Le menu date donc du mois d'avril & n'est peut-être plus à jour. Cela étant dit, l'expérience dans son ensemble est loin de s'en tenir uniquement aux plats servis. J'ai adoré avoir accès au Chef qui a pris le temps de présenter à l'ensemble des convives simultanément chaque service. La brigade en cuisine était d'ailleurs tout aussi accessible & servait elle même chacun des plats. J'ai adoré mon expérience de A à Z. Je me suis sentie importante malgré l'ambiance assez décontractée pour un resto gastronomique. Ce que j'ai d'ailleurs grandement appréciée. Je recommande fortement moyennant bien sûr un certain budget hihi.
I can't give anything less than 5 stars for food & service. The foie gras amuse bouche was the best thing I tasted all year... until the morel course which was just wow. The chef explained to my Celiac partner the modifications made before each dish & we hugely appreciated that attention to detail. The price point is high but you see exactly how it translates to the ingrediants selected. I'd prefer slightly higher salinity but it makes sense to keep it muted with these dishes. The only way to make the experience perfect would be to speed up service. We arrived at 6 for a 615 reservation &, had we stayed till the natural end of service, would have been sitting on bar stools for 4 hours. A long service is normal for tasting menus but 4 hours is really pushing most folks' endurance. If they could pull it into 3 hours, it would be perfect. Wine pairings were AMAZING & actually very well priced. More (white) wines from Quebec would be interesting. The non alcoholic juice pairing was less successful. Some of them simulated strongly flavored alcohol containing cocktails & wine. My partner ordered the juices because she doesn't like those flavors. Overall, best meal of the year so far & this Montreal trip has already been full of bangers. I've read a lot of the other reviews & they seem to be really taking into account the odd time when it's not just 5 stars omg! That kind of responsiveness should be praised. We'll be back!!!
Delicious food beautifully presented. Set menu by the chef that changes according to the season & local produce. The chef presents each dish as well, very entertaining. Amazing wine pairing! Great experience. On the very pricier side. $$$$
Incroyable expérience en ce samedi 8 juin , jour de notre anniversaire de mariage. Tout est impeccable. Produits locaux dans toute leur fraicheur, harmonie des saveurs dans les plats (coup de coeur pour le homard, tartare de veau, pâtes aux oursins, desserts, etc...) accord avec vins bien réussi, service attentionné & dans la joie, Bravo au sympathique chef & son équipe . Mention spéciale aux 2 sommelières très passionnées.

This special Montreal restaurant's food, service & purpose speak for themselves, as do the multitude of 5-Star reviews. From start to finish my wife & I thoroughly enjoyed each uniquely conceived & layered dish, & the comfortable, charming & well choreographed presentation, all balanced beautifully by the gracious & mindful sommelier whose knowledge is encyclopedic & recommendations spot-on. So, here, a genuine thank you & job well done Chef & the entire Le Mousso team.
Amazing culinary experience. Chef Antonin Mousso is boldly creative without arrogance, easy to talk to, loves & respects his brigade who are all amazingly knowledgeable & attentive. Every serving was an experience, every wine pairing a journey. Highly recommend.
Pour mon anniversaire, ma super blonde m'a invité au Le Mousso Quelle expérience! Parmi mes 5 plus grandes expériences gastronomiques à vie, & Dieu sait que j' en ai connues.
Un feu d'artifice de saveurs, de surprises & de découvertes qu' on ne peut décrire, ni imaginer sans l'avoir vécu.
La créativité du chef Antonin Mousseau-Rivard & de sa brigade nous emmène dans un univers abstrait où chaque saveur est une couleur qui se combine aux autres dans des mélanges irrationnels mais fabuleux, dignes d'un tableau de son grand père, Jean-Paul Mousseau.
Chaque plat est un camouflet aux conventions dans des combinaisons d'ingrédients aussi peu probables qu'harmonieuses. Quand on utilise de la crème d'oursins en dessert & qu' on finit magnifiquement le repas sur une assiette de cailloux, il est clair qu'on est très très loin des sentiers battus de la gastronomie.
Avis aux médias, ce n'est pas votre critique gastronomique que vous devez envoyer au Mousso. Mais votre journaliste qui couvre l'art contemporain, car l'art transcende chaque assiette.
L'accord mets-vins nous fait également faire de merveilleuses découvertes également surprenantes & savoureuses.
Bref, quelques heures de plaisirs & de bonheur alimentées par des gens passionnés, qui ont su innover avec succès pour vivre & partager leur passion en s'éloignant des inhumaines conditions de travail que les cuisines de grands restaurants imposent habituellement.
