Came here for date night, as I've been wanting to check it out for a while. I appreciate the plant decor everywhere! Don't love the high seating as it's less comfortable for shorter folks, but overall nice atmosphere. Interesting food items (chicken hearts for ex.) alongside what I consider to be "Montreal classics" like burrata, salmon tartare & Caesar salad - but with their own spin. The Caesar was veryyy creamy & we didn't notice the kimchi flavour. The dumplings were delicious but the order only comes with 2 (will leave you wanting more). The shrimp toast was also a small portion but very tasty. Finally, we had the snow crab pesto homemade capellini which was very good too. There was a hint of maybe anis or fennel that threw us off at first but we came to appreciate. Be aware that it's not big portions & can add up quickly. Overall nice experience!

We were a big group & did the fixed menu; the services were all incredible. The first amuse-bouche was a crispy & savory porchini&truffle dumpling which really set the tone for the deliciousness of the following dishes.

My visit to 9 Tail Fox Restaurant left me quite disappointed. Despite eagerly anticipating the experience after following them on Instagram, the reality fell short. While the dumplings were decent, the excessive use of soy sauce on everything detracted from the overall enjoyment. The sea bass dish was particularly disappointing; not only was the portion size minuscule, but the vegetables were drowned in a salty, bitter sauce that made them nearly inedible. This sentiment was shared among my friends, who also found the dishes overly salty. Hopefully, the restaurant can address these issues to provide a more satisfying dining experience in the future.

Finally a restaurant with a decent music volume level! It was very easy to speak even if there was a small background music noise. I loved it! On the food scale, it was AMAZING for everything: - the dumpling was just drooling & tasteful 🤤 - the pumpkin gnocchi were delicious - the lamb meatballs were simply fantastic Only disappointment were the squid skewer, a bit rubbery. The flavors were amazing, thought! & the cocktail was very good & flavorful: a nice spicy mandarin with tequila cocktail. I highly recommend this place, a nice tapas style restaurant perfect for connecting with your friends 😀 & if you ask nicely, it can be possible to order some plates for takeout. It's not the primary type of service, but they can accommodate if you ask politely.

La nourriture était correcte, sans plus. Les dumplings & la tartine de crevettes n'avaient que très peu de goût (on ne goûtait que la friture). Le poulet frit & l'entrée de choux-fleurs étaient bons mais pas épatants. Les portions étaient idéales pour partager, mais nous n'avons pas trouvé que la qualité de la nourriture valait le prix. Après 4 assiettes, c'était assez & nous avons décidé de ne pas commander plus, étant plutôt déçus de nos plats. Le cocktail (Saigon Mule) était très bon par contre!

Everything was absolutely perfect. We tried at least 7 of the dishes & all of them were so good. The LA Galbi, the octopus, the crudo, the oysters, the tartare, the dumplings & the Menbosha is what we took. We sat at the bar which is right where you can see the cooks do their magic. The service was impeccable! They took attention to detail, & knew their menu throughout. They described each plate & gave us excellent recommendations. Im very much excited to go back to try the other dishes. One of my new favorite spots!

I loved this restaurant before but I found that last night the taste & overall presentation have gone down since I was there this summer. The food was always adventurous & refined. Yesterday the dumplings were the same, but the cauliflower was tough, not bright, & the plating was average. The soup was good but the calamari were tough & chewy. The crudo was delicious but not plated as well as it used to be. My friend & I were disappointed. I hope this was just a bad night.
