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.

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)!

Great service, staff is attentive & brings dishes out in perfect timing. Menu is amazing, lots of tasty dishes. I was hoping for more non mushroom veg dishes for my partner, but they had changed the menu we saw online that day & there was only 2 options (salad & potatoes, which were amazing still). Can't fault them, just bad timing.

If you love innovative tapas style eating you will love this place! Also, the person serving us was very enthusiastic, informative, friendly & very helpful, with excellent suggestions for a good combination of dishes, wine & cocktails.
