Mucca

This was easily the worst meal I've had recently—every dish was a disaster. The salad was overwhelmingly bitter, almost tear-inducing, with nothing but the taste of bitterness. When I asked the server, they said "that's how it is." Well, okay… The pasta was bland and greasy, with a texture so hard it felt almost undercooked. The so-called dry-aged steak was even worse—almost impossible to cut, let alone chew. The flavor was shallow, floating on the surface, completely missing the depth and aroma you expect from a proper dry-aged steak. Dessert? I can only sigh—no words. I finished the meal out of respect for the food, but it was truly torturous. Service was hard to evaluate—nothing stood out positively. Overall, a very disappointing experience. I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this place.

Sorry for the blurry picture. Steak was incredible obviously. But you definitely need to be someone who likes it more on the raw side. We ordered medium rare- im not an expert, but the steak seems more on the rare side to me. We didnt mind at all because we like steak rare anyways. The pasta was just okay, i wouldnt order it again. The ice cream was also lovely. Nice quiet spot for a date night.

Came with high expectation and left with disappointment (well at least we are full)…the appetizers and pasta are underwhelming, and the steak was ok but still not something worthy to come back. We all found here a bit overhyped. It’s good to support the local ingredients but the cooking technique is just…ordinary. Service is good though!

This is my favourite restaurant in all of Montreal, I have tried to keep this a secret to myself because it’s just so good every time and I don’t want it to be impossible to book a table. The service is impeccable, the food is to die for and the ambiance is comfortable but without losing any class or sense of occasion. Bring a big appetite. You won’t regret it

Classic with creative modern touch. Food is like your aged-like-fine-wine-nona's cooking. Unexpected delicious busting flavors with beautiful depth of ingredients's unami. Everyone was welcoming and Valérie at the bar gave us excellent wine recommendation. Definitely will come back!

Scrumdelicious aged T-bone with smashed potatoes and greens. The veggies were tasty and I’d happily take double. We’ll definitely be back, though next time we would like to sit by the wall. Being in the middle meant a parade of butts and bellies brushing a little too close for comfort.

Best place ever! Steak is amazing exactly how steak should be eaten and the pasta is amazing as well! Most importantly the owners and waiters/waitresses are the best!! feels like home! My favourite restaurant!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mucca in Montreal, and what a delight it was. As our server graciously informed us, the menu changes every few weeks—so while our experience may not be replicated dish for dish, the artistry and care are unmistakably constant. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with low lighting and modern décor that feels both intimate and stylish. We were seated at the bar, which, while visually elegant, lacked a footrest, leading us to improvise a solution for comfort. Though there were no sugar-free beverage options, the bar staff excelled in their craft. My cocktail, infused with rosemary, was impeccably balanced—refreshing and sophisticated. We ordered all five appetizers and were not disappointed. The charcuterie board featured perfectly cured meats with crispy onions. The carpaccio was fresh and flavorful, with a bold tuna-mayo sauce. The salad was light, with bright orange segments; a few more would’ve been welcome. The burrata with fig sauce was divine—creamy, fresh, and well-balanced. The polenta, while well-cooked, could have benefited from a more vibrant sauce. Fresh, warm bread was served alongside, and it was simply outstanding—pillowy inside with a perfect crust. For the main course, we enjoyed the Strascinati di Cascia—house-made pasta with sausage and a rich, satisfying sauce. A rustic dish executed with elegance. We then sampled every dessert. The apple strudel gelato and mint lemon gelato were fresh and bright. The citrus tiramisu was inventive and refreshing. The risotto cake with amaretto crumble was a hit at our table, and while the chocolate sausage wasn’t quite to my taste, it was certainly unique. Despite being busy, the staff were attentive and gracious throughout. Their poise and professionalism matched the caliber of the food. In short: Mucca offers a dynamic, evolving menu with beautifully prepared dishes, thoughtful service, and an atmosphere perfect for a memorable evening. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Montreal.

Wow, the food (steak & pasta), the service (friendly & attentive), & the bar (wine & spirits) are all outstanding. Start with some pasta then move on to a T-Bone & some red wine...now that's class.

Great food and service! Had a great time. Highly recommended for everyone. We had the swordfish with pasta

Came to mucca to celebrate a friends birthday he had been ranting and raving about this spot for a while so I was excited to finally be able to see what it's all about. We were a group of 6 and had all decided to try the tasting menu which really was every item on the menu. The menu changes up to 3 times a week so whenever you come your grantees to try something new. The dinner service started with our amazing waitress who took the time to give us some background on the restaurant and the menu. Naturally we got drinks to start they have an extensive wine list but if your like me and enjoy cocktails more the negroni sabliato was perfect. The next round was mainly appetizer with a beef tartar, homemade bread, burrata and jam, salad and a few other amazing items. We then got to the pasta course and had 3 different types including a swordfish pasta which was a first time for me. Finally the star of the night the mucca which is cow in Italian! The beef was some of the best I've had the porterhouse was to die for and the sides of greens and guanciale mashed potatoes were the chefs kiss. Believe it or not we still weren't done and got to have dessert, the lemon tiramisu is something everyone needs to try at-least once in their lives. The overall ambience was a laidback upscale feel, the room lights are lowered and real candles are used during the dinner service. The music was a great throwback of some of the best songs from the 90s without being so loud you can't hear your table. If your looking for a place to spoil yourself Mucca will definitely take care of you!

I came here with my wife one evening on a trip to Montréal. We frequent quite often and are thinking about moving here so we just wanted to try a few different restaurants. I have to say from start to finish I was completely floored by this place. To start, when we arrived, it was incredibly busy. The owner met us at the door immediately and despite not having a reservation, she made room for us at the bar which I really appreciated. She explained that the menu changes every week which I love the concept of because it keeps the experience exclusive and never the same. We asked for wine recommendations and they were very accommodating, asking what we liked and were looking for. My wife doesn't drink alcohol so they made her a specialty mocktail which was so kind and very delicious. We ordered the bucatini and the porterhouse steak. The steak was delicious and cooked to perfection, the bucatini tasted fresh and you can tell it was homemade pasta. The place is small and intimate, the owner is very hands on. She took our order, checked in on us and was doing this for everyone in the restaurant. It was very impressive to watch her, you can tell she cares. Her whole staff is the same way. We gave huge compliments to the chef and staff. Food, wine, drinks, atmosphere was very lovely. We will definitely be coming back and will become regulars once we move here.

Food not worth the fuss. Porterhouse " aged" was just ok. A piece of meat from Provigo would have tasted better and cheaper.. Owner very rude. Only highlight, is the service from an amazing server who will be better off in an another restaurant..

My friend and I had a truly wonderful evening at Mucca. This restaurant only opened a week or so ago, but the staff, the food, and the ambiance were all what I'd expect from any of my favorite restaurants. The menu (which changes week to week) is spare and inviting, and they have a well chosen wine list that features mostly biodynamic and natural wines. Between us, we had two pasta dishes, an appetizer, and a dessert--all were delicious. Our waiter, Caleb, was warm and charming, and helped lend the restaurant a personality that feels unique in Montréal. I think this restaurant is a great neighborhood spot in the making. If only I lived in the neighborhood!

Great little restaurant with amazing appetizers and cool sampler menu with wine pairings. The principle meat dishes are delicious. Highly recommended. I believe they use mostly locally sourced ingredients.

Walking on Saint-Zotique street looking for a nice restaurant in little Italy, we came across this small but yet lovely restaurant. We decided to give it a shot and let me tell you all... it exceeded our expectations! The appetizers were phenomenal and main courses even better! They have a great selection of wines as well mouth watering desserts. I will definitely be going back to this resto since I work in the area ;)
