Le Mista — Restaurant in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville

The Place:

Very nice modern looking restaurant in St-Bruno. We attended as a group of 6. Music is a little loud but the tables are well arranged. They had the heat pumping at full blast and if you’re sitting under the vents it can get a little overheated.

The Food:

The quality of the ingredients is exceptional and the selection is vast. Interesting entrees and main dishes are plentiful. The waiters share interesting stories of their origins and ingredients.

Home made pasta noodles are key and some ingredients are imported right from Italy, fresh weekly.

We began with the fried gnocchi poutine topped with foie gras and pulled beef. The sauce and foie gras were fantastic but the gnocchi were hard and almost like raw potatoes.

My wife had the carbonara pasta with eggs noodles which were on the heavier side and caused you to fill up quickly.

I had the waiter’s recommended Bolognese, which was good but the added dried tomatoes were not necessary as they overpowered the sauce. The meatballs were probably the most disappointing as they were made with extremely lean veal and had a dry and thin texture.

The Price:

Prices are high as to expect with a modernistic Italian restaurant. Wine and drinks are traditionally what hammer...

I'm a foodie and I have been to the finest restaurant in Montreal. I also ate at okay restaurants but this place was the worst on my list. Please don't base yourself on the description of the food. For example, the burrata appetizer is supposed to be with focaccia but it was served with crostini and no explanation was given for the change. I had poutine with gnocchi, braised beef, and foie gras. The gnocchi was dry, not creamy. The gravy was liquid and translucent. My son had the pepperoni pizza. It's a shame that Domino's pizza taste better than this one. The other people at our table didn't enjoy their meals either because the food was tasteless. On the other hand, the cocktail and sangria were really good (keep the bartender or mixologist, this person knows what they are doing). Just to be clear I did pay for my meal and even give a tip but I will never spend another cent in this establishment. The decor is beautiful and the music is great. Like my mom will say "A beautiful flower...

French first, English below. C'était la Saint-Valentin et l'endroit était occupé, mais pas "full" ou rempli pour Legault.

J'ai enlevé une étoile à cause du prix, c'est cher comme tout au centre-ville de Saint-Bruno. Nous avons pris deux pizzas, elles avaient un style napolitain, mais sans croûte. On peut manger de meilleures pizzas italiennes dans la Petite Italie, mais c'est la meilleure pizza italienne que j'ai mangée hors de Montréal. Pour le dessert, nous avons eu 3 cannolis, ils étaient un peu secs. La garniture était correcte.

Une chose, la serveuse en vert semblait réellement débordée, se laissait prendre dans des conversations et faisait attendre les clients. Elle m'a accrocher en sortant, sans même s'excuser. J'aurais dit que le service était 5/5 avant ça. Mais ouais, elle semblait débordée.

L'endroit est chic, mais il faisait froid. Je ne sais pas s'il y avait une fenêtre ouverte, mais pour un restaurant avec un four à bois, j'aurais aimé que ce soit plus cosy en température.

Les prix pour l'Appero on beaucoup d'allure, cest bien de voir que ça existe ici aussi!

Avoir su, jaurais 50$ par tête pour deux bière, deux pizza et 3 Canolli, le menu 4 course est un meilleur deal. Mais bon, c'était pas mauvais!

It was Valentine's day, and the place was busy, but not packed.

I took a star away for the price, its downtown saint-bruno expensive. We had two pizzas, they felt Napoli in style, but no crust You can eat better italian pizza in little italy but it is the best italian pizza ive had outside Montreal, For desert, we had 3 cannoli, they were a bit dry. Filling was okay.

One thing, the waitress in green seemed genuinely overwhelmed, got caught up in conversations, and would let guest wait. She also bumped into me on my way out, didnt even say sorry. I would have said service was 5/5 from this. But yeah, she seemed overwhelmed.

Place is chique, but was cold. I don't if there was a window opened, but for a restaurant with a wood oven, I'd wish it was more cozy in temperature.

The appero prices look great, and its nice to see thay you can partake of appero...
