The Mont
If you enjoy the taste of fresh seasonal fare served in a swanky mid-mod atmosphere, then The Mont, a New American style restaurant, could be just the place for you. Estimated to be open in winter, this new upscale food concept is the brainchild of Cousin's BBQ owner Jeff Payne and Jason Cross, who is the Vice President of Cousin’s operations.
Located at 3729 Saint Amand Circle, just outside of the Montserrat neighborhood on Fort Worth’s west side, this concept is all about elevating a diner’s experience with the expertise of chef Michael Duff, who comes from Eddie V’s Fort Worth.
Although he started out as a prep cook at Eddie V’s in 2010, Duff has contributed to many local menus throughout the Fort Worth culinary scene for over a decade.
“Our approach is refined traditional cuisine inspired by seasonality using familiar ingredients, modern technique and global influence,” Duff says. "The menu will truly be based on what produce, meat and seafood is in-season and available at that time so it will constantly be evolving.”

This rotating menu will offer such fare as handmade pastas, wagyu steaks, and seafood.
“I’ve wanted to open an upscale, chef-driven concept in the Fort Worth area for a long time and when we saw this space near the Montserrat neighborhood I knew this was the spot,” Payne says in a statement. “It’s the perfect backdrop to have a beautiful dining experience inspired by seasonal, fresh ingredients, world travel, nostalgic favorites and our Texas roots in a timeless setting.”
The restaurant itself takes a page out of the late 50s and early 60s mid-century modern style motifs with the use of mahogany wood, leather, and ambient lighting, all designed by Maven — a Fort Worth firm.
“We hope to make the community extremely proud to say this concept is in their backyard as well as a destination to travelers in the area,” Payne says. “We’re looking forward to adding to the fine dining landscape of Fort Worth while also being an approachable, neighborhood spot.”
