Stopped by Ta Pies & was seriously impressed. The crust is perfectly flaky & the fillings are super flavorful-I tried the butter chicken pie & it was amazing. Great spot for a quick, satisfying meal. Definitely coming back!
Pictures of the menu are no longer accurate! They have the original prices blocked out, & two different & more expensive sets of prices in the glass displays (turns out it's actually the more expensive set). The picture shows the real prices.
Other than that, the service is beyond perfect. Waiting 10 minutes for my pies to be heated up turned into over 20. &, I agree with others, there was probably a change in management. It seems like a place that lost its spark.
The pies themselves were not bad. They tasted like comfort food, but the small individual portions & the overbearing amount of crust doesn't make me desperate to go back.
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!
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.
We were staying across the street & order pies & some roasted veggies to go a couple of times. Very tasty & reasonably priced. Only drawback might be a little light on the filling & heavy on the crust. Enjoyed them though.
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.
Pies are very good. My favorites are the Classic, Butter chicken & pie with sweet potato. One thing that drives me crazy is that the crust is wrapped under the aluminum pan so when you cut into it you can't pick up the slice without tearing apart the slice. The flaky edge breaks into pieces & makes a mess. Please fix this. It's annoying & so simple to correct.
Absolutely incredible! This place is a meat pie paradise. Every bite is a burst of savory perfection. The crust is flaky & buttery, & the fillings are rich & flavorful. From classic beef to exotic lamb, they've mastered every recipe. The staff is friendly, & the aroma alone draws you in from the street. If you're a meat pie enthusiast, this is your mecca. Five stars all the way!
