Joliette

Tartare Salads

Mentioned in: Best Places for Tartare in Montreal

Review Summary

Küto gets mixed-to-strong remarks about freshness and tartares, with praise for the shrimp dishes and a cozy Joliette location without music. All-you-can-eat tartares are popular, though diners would like more variety and a faster pace since portions arrive one at a time. A warm starter of tempura shrimp and generally good service are noted, but some experiences describe slower service between orders and suggest serving portions more continuously. Wine is considered pricey compared with SAQ prices. There are also critiques such as a bread course that lacked flavor and moments of dullness that temper otherwise favorable impressions. Hygiene questions arise in one account about allowing a dog inside, with the animal at times touching a table, which raises concerns for a restaurant serving raw meat. Despite multiple visits, some patrons say they would think twice about returning, though others still enjoyed their meals.View restaurant profile

The menu runs from lively tapas-style plates to comforting mains and brunch, with highlights such as a decadent espresso martini with hazelnut cream, a perfectly cooked risotto with spinach and hazelnuts, and memorable desserts.

Mentioned in: Where to Eat in Montreal's Quartier des Spectacles

Review Summary

Overall, Tiamo comes across as a stylish and cozy Italian spot with a lively atmosphere and a strong emphasis on wood-fired pizzas and generous portions, though several reviews mention high prices relative to portion size and mixed dish quality. Pizzas are frequently highlighted as excellent, along with tasty pastas and appealing desserts, while a few mains can be bland or overcooked and some tables experience slow service or inconsistent pacing, especially during busy times. The cocktails and wine lists are often praised, and many guests note attentive, friendly service, even as others report variable experiences and occasional gaps in attention or speed. The ambiance is repeatedly described as chic, vibrant, and suitable for dates or groups, but noise levels can be loud and seating tight, with some guests noting discomfort at higher levels or near kitchens. Reservation advice is common, as is the sentiment that the dining experience can be very good or excellent, but value for money depends on expectations and the specific dish and moment.View restaurant profile
