The Mont, a New American culinary gem, opened in July in the Montserrat neighborhood of Fort Worth, ready to dazzle Dallas with 1950’s glamour and delicious menu items.
The restaurant was created by Jeff Payne of Cousin’s BBQ and his partner Jason Cross. It offers a menu of mix of raw and cooked dishes, beginning with indulgent starters like oysters on the half shell, wagyu tomahawk, crispy deviled eggs, duck, charcuterie and cheese, baby lettuces, wedge salad, crab cake, lobster hush puppies, and scallops. Highlights among the lighter fare include cured Hidden Fjord salmon with smoked tomato and chili-lime espuma, red snapper ceviche, summer squashes with garlic-almond vinaigrette and goat cheese, and wagyu beef tartare with truffle horseradish sabayon and tallow toast.
The mains are impressive, featuring fruits de mer platters rich with oysters, crab claws, Maine lobster, shrimp, ceviche, smoked fish dip, and traditional accompaniments. For heartier offerings, there’s roasted mushrooms, potato purée with bacon lardon and blue cheese, and brussels sprouts. Entrées range from raw chilled cobia with summer beans, grilled lettuce, and chicken jus; cavatelli with charred corn, mushrooms, and parmigiano; grouper cloaked in smoked pine nut fumet; beef strip au poivre with wagyu and potato purée; the indulgent “Cluck” (roasted breast and fried thigh with squash and foie gravy); to massive steaks including 20 oz ribeye, 16 oz New York strip, 8 oz filet, as well as a double long-bone pork chop and roasted monkfish tail with red wine sauce and truffle vinaigrette.
