This
strange name for a restaurant comes from the sound the beef makes, which is not
a really smart and helpful name if you ask me. Imagine trying to tell you
friends “hey I found a new restaurant we should go, its called moouu”. Probably
they will think you are trying to make fun of them.
The owner’s
of this new restaurant run already a nearby fish food restaurant called “sardelaki”
for which I have heard many good words and it is considered a really successful
project.
Moouu is
trying to offer a cheaper solution then it’s competitors in different cuts of
beef. The menu is really small and straight to the point. It consists of few
appetizers, 3-4 salads, chicken fillet(thank god because my wife would have
issues finding something to eat) and 10 different cuts of beef! Their meat is
supposed to be Grass fed from breeds like wagyu, black angus and Hereford. The
first big mistake I found on the menu is that they don’t identify which type of
breed is each cut. When you advertise the
importance of the raw material you should be able to provide all the info
through the menu or at least through the waiter, who had no idea what types of
breed they use.
The wine
list is small but it is very good! Most of their choices come from small unknown
producers, some of them I didn’t even know, and thanks to them I found a new
amazing merlot from Migas Estate!
The chef's welcome was a potato soup shot with truffle oil which was ok.
We started
our dinner with steak tartar and fried potatoes. The tartar came with the classic poached egg
and the waiter old us we should break it so as the croquet will mix with the
meat. Unfortunately the egg was over boiled so we missed that. The quality of the meat though was very good and
well spiced.
Main dishes
was chicken fillet with side salad, which was very good but then what can go wrong with a chicken fillet when you use good materials.My unknown cut that
was suggested to me by the waitress but she didn’t remember the name because it was new the menu. Anyhow this dish was my main reason for visiting the restaurant
and it was really good tastewise, from my small experience i believe it was flat iron. The meat had
this butter texture, perfectly medium grilled accompanied by the classic three
types of salt and grilled vegetables.
The key
question here is if the restaurant can stand next to Vezene or Base grill and
at the same time be 30% cheaper. Well… no. It can be though a nice choice for
an alternative when you want to have a well grilled steak from nice materials
as long as they will improve their service. I will not mention all the problems the
service had because the restaurant is brand new and I am sure they will take
care of them.
The reason I
never mention desserts is that I rarely have space for them and I am not even a
big fan of them at all.
