9 Tail Fox earns wide praise for a creative Korean-forward menu with French and Italian influences, led by a talented kitchen that crafts fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented dishes such as oysters, dumplings, crudo, octopus, and seafood paella, with a rotating menu that keeps the experience exciting. The portions are often generous, especially on multi course offerings, though a few guests find the prices a bit high and some visits feel a touch underwhelming for the cost. The atmosphere is described as cozy and lively, making it a great spot for dates or small groups, with a bar vibe that adds to the experience. Service is consistently highlighted as warm, attentive, and friendly, with staff that guide and explain flavors well, though occasional busy-night delays are noted. The restaurant is regarded as a neighborhood gem in Montreal, delivering bold flavors with thoughtful presentation and a strong focus on sharing plates. Several reviews rave about standout items like galbi, oysters, dumplings, and the variety of cocktails, while others emphasize the overall balance and creativity of the menu. The dining room and kitchen show care and energy, and the overall impression is one of a unique, approachable fusion experience that invites repeat visits. Overall, 9 Tail Fox comes across as a top pick for flavors, ambiance, and hospitality, a place where inventive dishes and a welcoming vibe come together to create memorable meals.

The service was 💯 & the food was so good! Each dish was well thought out & full of flavours. Sit by the bar & watch the chef work. It's an art!
Also The dumplings are a must!

Nous avons adoré notre visite à ce restaurant. J'adore la formule tapas qui nous permet de goûter à différents plats & de partager. Nous avons opté pour être assis au comptoir afin de voir les chefs à l'oeuvre en cuisine. Ils sont très impressionnants à voir & apporte un soin particulier à la présentation. Les plats sont tout simplement magnifiques & délicieux. J'ai particulièrement apprécié le crudo, les huîtres ainsi que les pleurotes. Tout était fantastique & à notre avis l'addition très raisonnable pour la qualité des plats servis. Bravo!

This review is for the solo diners out there. I decided to have dinner here by myself on a whim; very glad that I did because it was a lovely experience! I sat at the bar, which is arguably the best seat in the house because from there you can watch the chefs prepare one beautiful meal after the other. I particularly appreciated how kind all the staff were with me, making me feel very welcomed & accommodated. I ordered one entrée (dumplings) & one main dish (kalguksu) & they were both delicious & good value for money. Thanks for the great evening, 9 Tail Fox staff!

Great night at 9 Tail, we were 4 people so shared 5 appetizers & 4 mains... & each one was better then the last. Great ambience, excellent service too, & a nice cocktail list & wine selection that went well with the food. The staff were knowledgeable & explained the dishes, ingredients & the chef came by to talk to us too. Standouts for me were the oyster mushroom & porcini dumplings starters, & then the steak & potato & chicken mains. Definitely going back so I can have some of the other dishes I missed (& to try the other cocktails too)!

J'y suis allé avec 3 amis pour célébrer mon anniversaire. Nous avons tous été ravis par l'expérience. La carte propose de nombreux plats que l'on peut partager façon tapas, mais on peut aussi se composer un repas individuel. Il n'y a pas eu un seul plat en dessous de nos attentes. La pieuvre était cuite à la perfection, dumplings délicieux, brochettes, tartare de boeuf, ... Le service était bienveillant, discret & sans aucune fausse note. Un des chefs a entendu que ma voisine a fait tomber une baguette & il est venu lui en apportez des nouvelles. Une bonne indication sur l'ambiance sonore plutôt calme qui nous a permis de discuter sans se casser les cordes vocales.
J'ai hâte d'y retourner :-)
