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.
Since our discovery of 9tailfox a few weeks after its opening, we have been raving about this place to anyone who's listening. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Montreal, hands down! Amazing cooking, charming staff, creative dishes & a cozy atmosphere! You will love it!
Unexpectedly, amazing. We reserved last minute. The restaurant is not too big. We ordered almost the entire menu. The other plates we wanted to other was sold out for the night. Everything was good!

My favourite asian fusion restaurant. I love how they change the menu seasonally while keeping the classics. The duck confit risotto is to die for, the raw oysters & the fried ones are fantastic well. Only downside is maybe the dessert, would love to see a change in the dessert menu. Keep up the good work! We love bringing our friends & family here
the food was creatively prepared & delicious. our waitress was very informative about the menu items & had a fun & friendly personality. i will definitely go back
This place is a gem. The food is melt in your mouth AMAZING! You eat well & feel great. The flavours, the portions, the service, the atmosphere are all done to perfection.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fantastic Dining Experience! We had the pleasure of dining at FOX Tail on Notre-Dame, & it was absolutely incredible! The food was perfectly prepared, bursting with flavor, & beautifully presented. The ambiance was chic yet cozy, creating the ideal setting for a memorable evening. What truly set the experience apart was the outstanding service. Justin went above & beyond to ensure everything was perfect. His warm demeanor, attention to detail, & great recommendations made our night even more enjoyable. I highly recommend FOX Tail to anyone looking for amazing food & top-tier service. We'll definitely be back-thank you, Justin, for making our visit so special!
My friend & I loved every morsel, from the baked oyster to the sticky bun to the fried chicken. Really yummy! What a pleasant surprise. Definitely will recommend to friends :)

Every dish was exquisitely prepared with delicately nuanced Korean flavours mixed in with a French cooking style. We enjoyed & shared 8 different dishes & 2 desserts. Absolutely every dish was unique, delicious & had a beautiful presentation. Thank you Lee for an amazing meal & Chanel for your lovely service.
