The service was great & the food was honestly so good. I tried the ricotta option & it was definitely my favorite. The dough is perfectly flaky & hits the spot - everything tasted so fresh & flavorful. I would 100% recommend & will for sure be coming back!
Used to be good. Now it isn't.
New owners replied with a statement defending themselves for poor quality & messed up orders & changes in how things are done is somehow my fault because it was'busy'.
Stock Selection is reduced, I can't get our favourite flavour of Mince Beef, cheese & Bacon. Not'Classic…' I never mentioned the word classic.
The gravy HAS changed, it's thin, simple & brown just like the powered stuff. The original gravy was based off of the pie filling & was thick, slightly grainy from the tomato's & herbs & was real.
They now put all the side dishes in a slop of one pot so the Peas, Mash & Gravy are all mixed up. I've never ordered like this. I would always ask for'A Stack' & I would be asked how many & would say'3' & I would get 3 individual small tubs of gravy, 3 of Mash Potatoes & 3 of Mushy Peas.
I've discovered a better recipe online & will now continue to make a home version of something that used to be a quality treat is no more.
Also they stopped doing all the nice UK/OZ/NZ imported snacks & sweets.
Sad to see a great business fail under new owners.
Je souhaite apportez une précision à mon commentaire initial après la réponse du propriétaire & après avoir pris connaissance d'un autre avis récent allant exactement dans le même sens que mon expérience.
Je suis client depuis plus de six ans. Le problème que j'ai signalé - une tarte au poulet au beurre contenant très peu de viande & presque uniquement de la sauce - s'est produit à deux reprises. La première fois, le déséquilibre était moindre, ce qui explique pourquoi je ne l'avais pas mentionné. Cette fois-ci, nous étions trois personnes à constater que la tarte était pratiquement vide.
La réponse publique du propriétaire se veut polie, mais elle continue de présenter le problème comme une question de'perception' ou'd'attentes variables', tout en affirmant que les portions sont strictement mesurées. Or, le fait qu'un autre client de longue date (William Quinlan) décrive une expérience quasi identique (tarte presque vide, prix élevé, forte déception) laisse penser qu'il ne s'agit pas d'un cas isolé.
Le point le plus décevant reste le service client :
dans les échanges privés, des insinuations ont été faites (demande de tarte gratuite, mise en doute de la récurrence du problème), & la seule solution proposée a été un rabais conditionnel sur un futur achat, sans réelle reconnaissance du défaut.
C'est regrettable, car j'aimais sincèrement ce commerce auparavant. Mais face à un problème qui semble récurrent & à une réponse qui reste évasive sur le fond & qui manque de considération, j'ai perdu confiance.

Commentaire initial:
J'étais un client régulier depuis plus de six ans & j'ai toujours apprécié ce commerce, mais ma dernière expérience a été extrêmement décevante.
Pour la deuxième fois, la tarte au poulet au beurre que j'ai achetée contenait presque uniquement de la sauce & très peu de viande. Nous étions trois à le constater. La première fois, le problème était moins important, donc je n'avais pas jugé nécessaire de le signaler.
Cette fois-ci, j'ai contacté le gérant pour simplement les informer du problème (photo à l'appui) & trouver une solution. Malheureusement, la réponse reçue a été peu professionnelle, comportant des insinuations comme le fait que je voudrais une'tarte gratuite', des questions déstabilisantes ('l'avez-vous mangée ?') & une demande irréaliste de rapporter une tarte déjà servie.
La réponse mettait aussi en doute que ce soit la deuxième fois que cela arrive.
Je n'ai jamais demandé quoi que ce soit d'excessif - seulement qu'on reconnaisse le problème & qu'on propose une solution raisonnable.
Le ton & l'attitude du service client ont été décevants & ne correspondent pas à ce que j'attends d'un commerce où je suis fidèle depuis des années.
Je suis donc contraint de me tourner vers d'autres options.
Dommage, car leurs produits étaient bons auparavant, mais la qualité & le service ne suivent plus.
J'ai essayé déjà trois sortes de pâtés pour emporter & j'ai adoré! C'est ma nouvelle option de prédilection pour un repas rapide sans se casser la tête. Ingrédients de qualité & savoureux. Ça n'a l'air de rien quand on regarde le commerce de l'extérieur, mais il ne faut pas se fier aux apparences :)
Absolutely delicious!
😋😋😋😋😋
My second visit & just can't wait to go back! Thank you to the nice young man who served us yesterday evening... You're a true gentleman. See you soon 🤩
Fyi, small counter space to eat a pie but mostly for takeout. They have desserts & frozen pies to take home individual or a full size pie. A must try!
Butter chicken definitely taste more spicy than what it before, before was more savory sweet
The beef mushroom was lacking beef & mushroom , still taste nice though
Some has definitely change up here
I'd still purchase their pies on occasion. Nice that they are on uber eats
Greeted promptly at the door. Friendly young man working behind the counter was quick to let us know all of the different menu options. All of the fresh pies would take 15 minutes to warm up & prepare, while pies in the case were pre-heated. We opted for the pies in the warming case. They were absolutely delicious, & there were so many different filling combinations to choose from. However, an hour or two after dining (& not eating anything else in between), I was facing some serious stomach issues. I think it would have been wise to wait the 15 minutes for a fresh pie. I have a feeling the one I chose from the case had been sitting out warm all day. The atmosphere is not something to write home about, as the food is better enjoyed as a take-out option. But it is decorated very nicely, for the small space they do have. Be warned, there is no bathroom. The coleslaw was fresh & light. Wasn't too heavy. Yummy crunch to it! My only other criticism would be that the fridges weren't well stocked with pies to take home, & there were only a few warm pies offered in the case.
We used to look forward to our visits to Ta Pies, but our last experience will sadly be our last. Over the past 10 years or more, we've happily enjoyed many Ned Kelly's, Curried Veggies (our favourite) & Butter Chickens. After being away for some months, the pie that we bought today was almost laughable, except that it cost us 31$ for a virtually empty pastry shell. The minuscule quantity of chicken in the butter chicken was, frankly, insulting. If there has been a recent change of ownership, as inferred from a previous review, it is surely not for the best.
A friend strongly recommends the Australian traditional savoury pies from Ta Pies, & there we are. There're many fillings to choose from, we went with the classic beef pie, & it was incredibly satisfying - rich, comforting, & full of flavor.
One nice bonus is that you can also buy the pies frozen to take home & bake yourself, which makes it even more tempting to stock up.
After trying the classic beef, I'm definitely looking forward to coming back & exploring more of their fillings next time.
Ta Pies never disappoints! Their pies are beautifully baked with buttery, flaky crusts & hearty, flavourful fillings that taste homemade in the best way. The service is always welcoming & genuine, & their lamingtons are on another level - soft, fresh, & simply the best you'll find anywhere. A true gem for anyone who loves quality & comfort.
Absolutely delicious! The crust is golden & flaky, & the filling is rich, tender, & full of flavor. You can taste the quality & care in every bite. The steak & mushroom pie was my favorite - perfectly seasoned & comforting. Friendly staff, quick service, & a cozy atmosphere make it even better. Easily one of the best spots for a hearty, homemade-style meal. Highly recommend!
J'ai eu la chance d'essayer leur pâté bifteck fromage....tout un délice...super frais & tout chaud dans une enveloppe avec le logo ta pie super cool
Little bit hard to get to if you don't have a car. Had a steak & cheese pie straight from the oven. Pastry light & fluffy & filling so great.Good balance of steak a cheese. Would definitely go back
New Zealand cuisine is an extremely rare find in Montreal..well as far as I know this is actually the only place with New Zealand food. It's owned & operated by an Indian family so there are some Indian varieties of the pies as well. I opted for more traditional varieties. I went for the spinach, egg & cheese as well as the steak & cheese. To my surprise I actually preferred the non-meat pie. The steak was made with a tomato-based sauce that I wasn't loving but didn't dislike either, the density of the meat was more like brisket to me. The pie crust is expertly made & the packaging is smart. The place is very small, only a few tight counter seats available & no restroom but that's just a limitation of the address.
