Terrasse Chez Miller — Restaurant in Montreal

From the people that brought you Midway and Marion... Moqueur is the most beautiful resto-bar with all the same loving service and more!

I cannot praise the drinks highly enough, Louis and Tony are masterful bartenders! The drinks are all unique, yet totally approachable, using innovation alongside well established tradition to give you the ultimate in cocktail capabilities. Wines are all available by the glass! The cajun cuisine is a welcome addition to the montreal restaurant scene: all of their offerings are hearty and delicious, you even get to pull your best Bugs Bunny and order some succotash!

When it comes to the decor itself, Moqueur is stunningly beautiful! The ceilings are high, with an impressive mirrored back bar. Soft but by no means underwhelming lighting is provided by candles, an eye-catching plethora of hanging wicker lanterns, and of course distinctive purple neon outside that adds a luxurious glow to the inside. Wooden furniture and copper green metalwork give a really nice, unique colour scheme. No details are to be missed!

Outside is a patio that perfectly intersects a night out in the city with a forested foray into nature. Vines creep and stretch to form a chartreuse canopy, with the other half of the terrace open to the night sky. In the back corner is a massive old tree stretching up above, and quietly hiding behind is the best table out there.

My favourite part of all? I can imagine anybody enjoying themselves there. Seriously. I'm a mid-twenties bartender and I like it. My retired suburban parents would like it. My tiktok-girlies would like it. My beer-and-shot-bros would like it. My friends with actual personalities would LOVE it! I don't know any of them very well but i'm sure 40-something professionals would absolutely swoon for it. Whoever you are,...

What a fun place! And with a nice cocktail selection and 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, and metal mesh covered stairwell that give off a warm and 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 and enjoyable...a good way to start before getting into the heavier foods), Clams Po-Boy (very good, tasty bread and nice fried clam flavoring0), and "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) and 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...

Wow! This place has awesome music and great vibes. Tarek was an awesome, attentive, entertaining, and friendly waiter. He attended to us, all of our questions he patiently answered. He even introduced us to the house made hot sauces. The habanero parmesan sauce was amazing! Just the right amount of spice, and plenty of flavor!

The drinks here are awesome, we were recommended to go here by someone at another great local restaurant. The cornbread is the most unique cornbread I've ever tried, and the truffle fries (and the house made mayo) were amazing. We would've tried other food and no doubt it would've been tasty, but we were on a food crawl so we were trying to pace ourselves.

100% would recommend this spot and we'll be back! Thanks again Tarek and company!!

P.S. Our group of 6 agreed that upon first looking at the menu, nothing really called out to us, neither the drinks nor the food. Really the game-changer (and the salesman) was Tarek, and we were not disappointed with his recommendations! Give this...
