Moqueur operates as a multifaceted establishment blending the atmosphere of a neighborhood bar with the culinary focus of a curated market. The menu emphasizes fresh seafood and seasonal fish preparations sourced to highlight natural oceanic flavors. Patrons engage with a selection of rotating plates that prioritize ingredient transparency and technical precision in execution. The interior layout facilitates a communal environment where the boundaries between retail and social space remain fluid. Guests access premium marine products alongside prepared dishes designed for immediate consumption within the premises. This dual-concept approach provides a specialized experience for individuals seeking high-quality aquatic fare in an unpretentious setting. Every element reflects a commitment to sourcing integrity and focused preparation standards.
Moqueur offers a fantastic atmosphere paired with a stunning interior and one of the most charming terraces in Montreal. Guests consistently highlight the high-end service and expert mixology behind the creative cocktails. The menu features standout dishes such as exceptional fried chicken and delicious cornbread, making it a must-visit destination that comes highly recommended before it gains further popularity.
The food is crazy overpriced. A quarter of a chicken for almost 30$. The fries were lumpy, greasy, not well seasonned & almost black for 12$. Clearly not the right type of potatoes for fries. The service was weird & not very profesionnal. Feels like a facade to make quick money.
Nous y sommes allés en octobre 2023, lorsque la terrasse était encore ouverte ! Quelle belle découverte ! La terrasse fut hyper agréable ! Le service hyper attentionné ! Les plats hyper délicieux ! Bref, une super expérience ... à refaire :)
The place may be small but they fully utilize where corner for seating. The food is alright. Some dishes are phenomenal, others are mediocre are overpriced. The service is outstanding. The staff are all friendly & provide excellent service. I would return just to sit at the bar & chat with them. It was a fun night out, looking forward to my next visit.
What a fun place! & with a nice cocktail selection & good food to boot! Split onto two levels (plus an outdoor terrace at the back in the summer time), Moqueur (meaning something along the lines of Mocker or Jeerer) has a New Orleans vibe with jade colored metal railings, & metal mesh covered stairwell that give off a warm & welcoming ambiance. The menu is not extensive but is still enough to satisfy, especially if you are with a group willing to share dishes. For our meal we enjoyed the Old Square Salad (very tasty, light & enjoyable...a good way to start before getting into the heavier foods), Clams Po-Boy (very good, tasty bread & nice fried clam flavoring0), & "Crispy Fried Chicken bites (also very good with a nice Creole sauce). For dessert we sampled the Nola Donuts (nice but heavy fried dough morsels) & the Red Fruit Puree (more like a chocolate cake but also very good). They also have a large selection of cocktails to imbibe yourself. Definitely a place to go with friends after work or for a night on the town. You'll have a blast. Enjoy!
I would give this place 5 stars just for their passion, but sadly can't say the product of this passion makes it to the diners experience. From the service staff to the execution of the meal, there are too many misses & too few hits. Sorry.
