La nourriture était excellente. Pour les asperges enrobées dans de la mortadelle & gratinées, je m'attendais à des enveloppes individuelles, mais c'était un gros paquet qui rendait ça un peu difficile à découper & partager. C'était bon, mais le plat le plus faible du souper. La burrata était très bonne & la confiture amenait un bon contraste. Le pain maison, avec une belle carbonisation, était aussi très bien. Les pâtes étaient délicieuses. Les tomates cerises amenaient du sucré & du coulant & le thon servi en tataki amenait du parfum, tout comme les pâtes au paprika. J'avais un peu peur de la cuisson du steak quand on l'a pris médium saignant, mais c'était parfait & idéalement assaisonné, en plus d'être très bien présenté.
J'ai beaucoup aimé les deux desserts plutôt légers. Le tiramisu aux agrumes était un nouveau concept pour moi qui ne trippe pas sur le café & c'était très réussi, autant dans la texture crémeuse que dans l'acidité. Le gâteau à l'huile d'olive était aérien & les deux textures, le moelleux à l'intérieur & l'extérieur bien cuit, croquant & avec du sucre glace, fonctionnaient à merveille. La crème glacée était délicate, presque de la crème fouettée.
J'ai beaucoup aimé mon Spritz à la liqueur de sureau qui était léger, mais parfumé & frais. C'était un parfait drink estival. J'ai moins aimé le negroni où l'équilibre entre l'amertume & le sucré de la liqueur d'orange n'était pas à point selon moi.
On est vraiment dans un restaurant de quartier sympathique qui est parfait pour un jeudi soir. Le service était loquace & sympathique. La bouffe était bonne & très bien présentée.
Food & service was very good
the atmospher was loud hard to understand waitress explaning the menu.
wine list is not what you expect, this was my second visit so we went for something traditional because in our last visit we drank what was suggested & it was not great also found a error on the wine list .
Meat was great , Pasta still good but the appetizers were not as good as last time
Hands down one of my favourite restaurant in Montreal. The food is so fresh, so flavourful & the best steak & pasta I've had. Beyond the food, the service is impeccable. You feel right at home, not rushed & so friendly. I will continue to recommend this restaurant to everyone - a must go! Highly recommend!
Had an amazing experience here! The radicchio salad is phenomenal, the T-bone (30oz, shared between two people) was incredible - got it rare & it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. Paired it with a unique Bulgarian wine & citrus tiramisu for dessert. Service was exceptional. Definitely recommend coming here for a special occasion, or if you're just craving a really good steak!
I've now been to Mucca three times, each time with different people, & every single one of us came to the same conclusion: the meat here is the best in Montreal.
Mucca is an Italian restaurant centered around meat, especially the Fiorentina steak, & they execute it exceptionally well. The quality of the meat is outstanding, the cooking is precise, & the food overall is excellent.
What keeps bringing me back, however, is something much rarer: this is an honest kitchen. Real cooking, real value, & no gimmicks.
The service is also exceptional. The owner & staff provide a level of personal, attentive service that is becoming increasingly rare. What I particularly respect is that they operate with a clear set of principles about how a restaurant should function & how food should be served.
For me, this is the real deal - a true restaurant experience that I honestly thought had almost disappeared in Montreal.No gimmicks, no trends - just a serious kitchen that knows exactly what it's doing.
