| - We had the worst experience of our holidays at the Mousso - it was so bad that it has been a running joke since then (and yes, I am aware that I seem to be the only Yelper to think so...)
First of all, there were really, really a lot of sea products - in the same day, we ate oysters, urchins, clam, fish eggs (and that's not including the actual fishes). Since it is a set surprise menu, it is a bit of a risk if you are not that much of a sea person.
Second, most of the dishes ranged from bland (a potato just cooked in hay, with no seasoning whatsoever) to bad (a wayyyy oversalted white fish) to disgusting (stag heart, dried up then grated over a plate). There is a line between inventive cuisine and dishes gone wrong, and the Mousso was on the bad side the night we visited. Desserts were good though - less creative, but way better tasting.
Service was friendly, but a little unorganized - we had to wait 20 mn to get our (reserved) table - during which they kindly offered us a drink on the house -, then the time between each plate seemed quite random. Oh, also, the restaurant was way too cold and the music way too loud - but at this point, it was just one more fail to laugh about.
If you are looking for a nice restaurant for a special occasion (as we were), try Bouillon Bilk - we loved it! And it costs the same price: ~80 Canadian dollars for the degustation menu, excl. tips and taxes.
