Step into 1960's glamour at the Mont.

by Sarah Hardy

The Mont is a New American culinary gem that dazzles with 1950’s glamour located in the Montserrat neighborhood of Fort Worth. We hope to be both your local haunt and trusted culinary destination. Rich mahogany, plush leather, and moody lighting frame a centerpiece bar where classic and inventive cocktails flow with flawless precision.

A Menu of Seasonal Elegance

Helmed by Executive Chef Michael Duff and Culinary Director Michael Arlt, The Mont’s menu is rooted in seasonal New American cuisine with global influences. Starters set the tone with indulgent bites like Wagyu tartare, red snapper ceviche, or deviled eggs crowned with caviar. Small plates include playful yet refined offerings such as lobster hush puppies and scallops in brown butter-lemon nage.

Entrees showcase both creativity and craftsmanship, ranging from handmade cavatelli pasta to Wagyu strip au poivre, roasted monkfish, and the whimsically named “The Cluck.” For groups looking to share, the 40-ounce Wagyu Tomahawk or the decadent duck with black garlic glaze and foie-fried rice are showstoppers.

Cocktails with a Mad Men Spirit

At the heart of The Mont is its dazzling bar, where classic cocktails get a mid-century revival. The lineup features standouts like the Freezer Martini, St. Amand 75, Fighter Plane, and the signature Mont Old Fashioned. Each drink is crafted with precision and a touch of theatrical flair, making the bar as much a destination as the dining room.

A Vision for Fort Worth

The Mont is the brainchild of Jeff Payne, co-owner of Cousin’s BBQ, and partner Jason Cross, who wanted to bring a neighborhood fine-dining destination to Fort Worth’s growing west side. Their goal: to create a space that’s elevated but approachable, where refined dining and warm hospitality meet. The result is a restaurant that feels both timeless and fresh—an instant classic with modern appeal.

Why You’ll Love It

What makes The Mont special is the balance it strikes. It’s luxurious without being pretentious, stylish without sacrificing comfort, and ambitious without losing touch with Fort Worth’s character. Whether you’re savoring an expertly prepared steak, enjoying a round of cocktails, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, The Mont offers a dining experience designed to be remembered.

The Mont is open now in West Fort Worth. If you’re ready for a night of elevated cuisine, mid-century glamour, and unforgettable cocktails, this is one spot you won’t want to miss.
