Ta Pies brings the authentic essence of Australian comfort food to the city through a specialized selection of savory hand-held pies. These pastry-encased offerings feature traditional fillings like slow-cooked beef, minced meat, and chicken, alongside unique vegetable variations. Each item is crafted with a golden, flaky crust that serves as a hallmark of the establishment. Beyond the savory options, the menu extends to various desserts and sweets that reflect regional antipodean influences. The kitchen emphasizes high-quality ingredients and traditional baking techniques to ensure consistency across the entire product line. This focus on portable, hearty snacks creates a straightforward culinary experience that prioritizes flavor and traditional craftsmanship. Patrons encounter a specialized menu designed for efficiency while maintaining a deep connection to classic recipes originating from the southern hemisphere.
Ta Pies has garnered a strong reputation as a go-to spot in Montreal for authentic Australian and New Zealand style meat pies, with many patrons praising the exceptionally flaky crust and flavorful, hearty fillings like butter chicken and classic steak and cheese. While the atmosphere is described as cozy and welcoming with friendly service, it is primarily noted as a takeout destination due to its limited seating and small physical footprint. Although some reviewers mentioned concerns regarding potential changes in management, inconsistent stock levels, and occasional discrepancies in pricing or portion balance, the vast majority of guests find the comfort food to be a delicious, high-quality, and satisfying experience that keeps them coming back for more, especially for the convenience of purchasing frozen pies to bake at home.
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.
