Tail Fox delivers exciting Asian fusion flavors with a chef driven menu that blends Korean techniques with French and Italian influences, presenting creative dishes in generous portions. The atmosphere is cozy yet lively, with attentive and friendly staff and a view of the kitchen counter that many guests enjoy, plus a strong drinks program. While service is usually warm and professional, a few visits note moments of being a touch inattentive during peak times and some prices feel high for the portions. Overall the restaurant reads as a neighborhood gem, with oysters, dumplings, crudo and other standout plates that balance bold flavors with refinement, and many guests look forward to returning to try the rotating menu.
Incredible food with generous portions, friendly staff & great atmosphere. Perfect for a date or taking friends from out of town, their cocktails & prices are great!
A very creative & satisfying menu. We were a group of 4 & had 4 appetizers & 4 mains. We agreed that all 8 dishes were solid offerings. We will be back to try other dishes that we did not order on this visit.
Our group of 5 had the pleasure of dining here the other day to celebrate a birthday & a graduation.
Everything was perfect: the cozy cute atmosphere, Chanelle's friendly & attentive service, & the tasty dishes with some surprising & delicious spices & flavours! We tried the fresh fish with kimchi, the seafood paella, the duck, & the octopus. The oysters & dumpling appetizers were also out of this world, so was the cocktail! Highly recommend, we found our new neighbourhood gem 💗
9 Tail Fox never disappoints! Everything from the atmosphere to the food is always on point. The vibe is cozy yet lively, making it the perfect spot whether you're catching up with a friend or enjoying a night out. The dishes are beautifully presented, full of flavor, & you can tell there's real care put into the menu. Service is friendly & attentive without ever feeling rushed. Honestly, one of Montreal's hidden gems - if you haven't been yet, you're missing out!
The food here never disappoints-love the subtle yet distinct nods to their Korean influence. It's fun to watch the chefs cook if you sit at the bar :) The staff is also very helpful & friendly!
First & foremost thank you Chanel (i think that's how it's spelled) for the amazing & friendly service!
I highly recommend everything on the menu to be honest. So my review is not helpful. But if I must choose, my personal favourite is the galbi! If anyone likes fruity & strong cocktails, the Gringo in Korea is amazinnnngggg!
The team at 9 Tail Fox are passionate about their profession & it shows! The service was flawless & friendly & the food? It's creative Asian fusion & done extremely well. Our table of 4 ordered a number of dishes to share: oysters, burrata with kimchi, salmon tartare with ikura, eggplant, lamb, octopus, & crudo. & everything was delicious! We will definitely go back again to try the other half of the menu. Many thanks to Julian & Chanel for the fun dinner service & the perfect summer evening! It will definitely be a birthday to remember!
