Creative tasting menus showcasing Quebec produce and wine pairings
"A meal at this extraordinary restaurant is a fine dining spectacular—centered on a single tasting menu of around 10 small plates, the experience lasts almost four hours. The dishes for the 30 or so guests are plated simultaneously, then brought out by the chefs themselves. As each course is served, a description of the dish is presented aloud to the whole room, to the enthusiastic cheers of the entire team. The dehydrated tuna and tomato rose in a tomato water broth with horseradish, cut with chamomile oil and decorated with marigold flowers was a highlight." - Michelin Inspector
"Noted for being almost ridiculously creative, this next-generation spot is highlighted among the city’s can’t-miss, inventive restaurants." - Valerie Silva
"Another spot where local, seasonal fare takes centre stage, Le Mousso’s nightly tasting menu is one of the most exclusive in the city; it’s the only menu the restaurant offers and is available for one sitting per evening for a maximum of 30 guests. Those lucky 30 guests can expect the best local meat, fish, seafood and vegetables, all artfully prepared and combined." - Eater Staff
"Finding the right formula for delivering the best of Le Mousso in a takeout box has been very challenging, says chef-owner Antonin Mousseau-Rivard, but he thinks he’s getting closer to the answer all the time. Customers want that ultra-creative New Nordic–inspired Le Mousso style, but “without having to wash a TONS of pots and pans.”"
Rank: #49 "Le Petit Mousso has some of the most colourful, creative dishes in the city—offered à la carte versus in a tasting menu. Launched in fall 2018, it won instant acclaim under Chef Benjamin Mauroy-Langlais, which continued under successor Vincent Baronnat."
