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.
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.
Im obsessed with the butter chicken pie. quality is amazing & I swear it has even gotten better over the years! Just wish there was one closer to the west island :)
L'endroit ne paye pas de mine mais c'est vrai que leurs tourtières sont exceptionnelles : celle au poulet au beurre se maintenait étonnamment bien, on s'est vraiment régalé.
Ce n'est pas vraiment fait pour manger sur place d'un point de vue espace (& il n'y a pas de toilettes, c'est bien indiqué en entrant), mais pour cette fois-ci c'était compensé par la qualité des préparations.
On voit aussi les habitués passer pour acheter les versions congelées.
Bref, si Wolverine a apprécié, c'est forcément une bonne adresse !
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!
I ordered the ground beef pie & a sausage roll through ubereats. They were both well seasoned & tasty. The meat & sausage inside the pies were very generous. The pies were flaky & not greasy. It was a very pleasant eating experience. I will definitely reorder.
Keeping in mind taste is personal i rate the sausage roll 5/5 & the ground beef pie 4/5
Kim & her team of all stars are awesome. The food is so good & they really care to work with you if you have special requests. A huge thank you! The sweet & savoury options are delicious also filling
Was able to get a sausage roll while waiting on the bus. It was larger than expected & tasted just like Greggs (& that is a compliment). Stop in & give them a try.
