At Tourtière Australienne we aim to reconnect Aussies and Kiwis with their favourite pastry items from down under and introduce the locals to something deliciously different! If you've never tried them you're in for a treat! If you've been missing them, the wait is over.
Overall, reviews paint Ta Pies as a go-to spot for hearty, handmade style pies with flaky pastry and rich fillings. Diners praise a wide range of options from beef and steak to butter chicken, spinach and ricotta, and pumpkin, noting that the pastry is buttery and the fillings are fresh, flavorful and comforting. Many appreciate the option to grab pies for takeaway and even frozen pies to bake at home, with friendly, attentive staff and quick service described as a hallmark. The small counter space and lack of dine-in seating or restrooms are repeatedly mentioned, making the place feel better suited to takeout; some suggest the experience improves when purchased fresh from the case and heated at home. While a few pies vary in filling intensity and spice, most reviews call the pies among the best, expressing strong enthusiasm, regular visits, and a willingness to recommend Ta Pies to others.
I was there yesterday after a door dash shift , & the young man who was working greeted me with biggest smile, i had the mishroom cheese pie as well as the butter chicken pie , the poes were out of this world, the pastry was awesome & its like nothing youve ever had. If you are on parc ave & looking for a very satisfying meat or vege pie, do yourselves a favor & go there. I will definitely be going back.
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.

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.
Great atmosphere, friendly staff, had the steak & cheese pie with peas. Very good pie with a good crust, amazing filling.
Mushy peas are exactly as expected, & quite a good gravy as well.
10/10 would come again.

Wow! The steak & cheese was so delicious! This restaurant is an amazing hidden gem just steps from the foot of Mount Royal. I will definitely be returning!
Ok..
I over cooked it... But it still tasted soooooooo good!
This one is the streak & cheese, the chunks of meat in this pie... Dear Lord... Soooooooo delicious!
Perfect portion to take to work & just put it in the work kitchen mini over & ready in 30 minutes. Definitely getting more! 😍😍❤?❤?
Visiting Montréal & decided to look up any pie shops for my expat Kiwi husband who hasn't had a "proper pie" in nearly 10 years. The sausage rolls were excellent, steak & cheese pie exactly what he was hoping for (& beyond his expectations), & the addition of a thick shake & lammington put our experience over the top. If you are looking for a true Kiwi sausage roll or pie, this definitely fits the bill! Thank you so much for giving him a little bit of home!

Ordered a classic beef & a beef bacon cheese to try - They were so good that on the way back to the car, we had to stop to pick up a few frozen pies for later. Soft, flakey, & the filling is tender & delicious. About $8 a hand pie is very fai
I have been a fan for years, but mostly through delivery. I was in the neighbourhood recently, though, & I went in. Had a great experience chatting with the person behind the counter, everything was great, except that when I opened up the box to eat my pie, it was the wrong one. I ordered butter chicken, I received what looked like bolognese sauce & cheese. I still ate it (no time to go back), & it was delicious, it was just the wrong kind. You haven't lost a customer, I'm just going to be extra careful next time, or stick to ordering in.
I tried the new location at 5525 Monkland Ave. recently for lunch. Having a hard time deciding which one to choose, I went with the Steak, Bacon & Cheese immediately & took the Lamb Roganjosh & Butter Chicken as frozen pies to try later. The steak was good, meat was tender & flavorful. I had the Lamb Roganjosh for dinner & it was delicious I highly recommend trying this one! I will definitely go back for more. I have yet to try the Butter Chicken but from my experience so far I'm sure it will be good. I recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a quick & yummy bite to eat.
