Tbsp. is described across reviews as a chic, calm dining spot inside a hotel setting, with consistently attentive service and knowledgeable staff who help guests navigate a creative, high quality menu. The food is frequently praised for originality, flavor, and beautiful presentation, with standout items ranging from inventive starters and pastas to well balanced dishes like a fried Brussels sprouts salad and a sesame seed bagel eggs Benedict, and the cheese selection and cocktails are also highlighted. The atmosphere is noted as elegant and quiet, making it suitable for conversations, romantic dinners, or celebrations, and the dining room and decor receive compliments. While the majority of experiences are positive, a few notes point to dishes arriving cold on some visits, occasional pricing that feels steep for the portion or concept, and a brunch experience that fell short due to disorganized service. Overall, Tbsp. appears to offer a memorable dining experience with strong creativity, solid service, and a focus on zero waste dishes on newer menus.
We visited Tbsp. on January 2nd, during a quiet evening, likely following the New Year celebrations. We had a delightful dining experience. The winter menu was absolutely delightful, with each dish, from starters to desserts, being perfect. Our server, Jamie, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, & made excellent recommendations. This place is highly recommended!
Good restaurant located between Old Montreal & downtown Montreal. It has a very calm atmosphere, low noise level, & beautiful décor. The service was excellent.
The only thing I must mention is that the food was always served cold. I visited three times: once for breakfast, once for lunch, & once for dinner, & on all three occasions the dishes were excessively cold. A cold steak, where even the fat was already cold, was not a good experience. This might explain why the restaurant itself always felt cold. Perhaps this is something they should take into consideration.
Aside from that, the service was excellent. The place is very nice, & I would recommend it for couples, as it is quite quiet & romantic.

Wandered in on a cold day, & found this chic, unassuming restaurant. The food was stellar & service was great. The waitress was super attentive, & helpful. I got the eggs Benedict & it came on the most perfectly toasted sesame seed bagel. The potatoes were well seasoned & it came with fresh fruit. I got a sweet Caroline to drink, & definitely recommend.
WOW ! Had a great time with a friend at this restaurant but we ate in the lobby of the W hotel to enjoyed the night with a DJ, very nice. Food & drinks were delicious & gourmet, service impeccable & the ambiance was the best of all, we ate, drank & dance, highly recommend !
Was staying at the W & decided to stop in for some breakfast after check out. The restaurant is very beautiful. The coffee was delicious & my meal (Norwegian bagel) was quite good (basic, but good). Prices are a bit on the high side I would say, but overall was happy & would recommend.

J'ai adoré mon expérience au TBSP. Jamie nous a servi & connaissait le menu comme sa poche : il nous a très bien conseillé & nous avons été très satisfaits de notre repas. Je tiens aussi à mentionner Marcel & Guillaume qui nous ont offert un service impeccable :) Je recommande vivement le TBSP si vous avez des occasions spéciales à célébrer ! Les plats étaient excellents :)
This was a delicious restaurant with lots of interesting offerings. Of them, I thought the squash & Caesar were truly stand outs, & highly recommend everyone to try.
Server Jaime also really gave thoughtful recommendations to break down the menu
Service très sympathique & professionnel, merci à Jamie qui nous a servi & a été très agréable ! Les plats sont également très bon, nous recommandons +++
Une expérience incroyable du début à la fin ! J'ai commencé par une entrée à la courge qui était pleine de saveurs, suivie d'une morue cuite à la perfection en plat principal, & pour finir, un riz au lait absolument divin. Chaque plat était un vrai régal, & le service était impeccable, attentif sans être envahissant. L'ambiance est chaleureuse & accueillante, parfaite pour un repas mémorable. Sans hésitation, 5 étoiles pour la cuisine, le service, & l'atmosphère ! Un endroit que je recommande vivement.
