The burrata pizza is always amazing, my brother really enjoyed the lamb chops & the tuna was a great appetizer!! Our server was so kind & attentive although the music was a little bit loud. Overall great experience, thank you!!
I went here for a birthday dinner very nice place service was amazing as a server myself I can say everything was really handled with care & timely great service from Noel the music was amazing. The food was good but a bit underwhelming drinks were good but a bit strong depending on what you get but genuinely a great spot to go to. I'm not from Montreal I'm from Ottawa & honestly I wish we had a restaurant like this back home will definitely come back for my birthday the drive is definitely worth it
I came to Tiamo on my last night in Montreal, visiting from Vancouver, I must say it had to be the highlight of my trip. Everything we ate was amazing, cooked brilliantly - highly recommend the carpaccio but you can't go wrong with anything. Atmosphere, again, brilliant - good music playing, the World Cup was on & the ambience was sensational. Finally, best until last, the service. Wow. Big shoutout to Scubo & team, genuinely made us feel like part of the family. I didn't get to say bye but that won't matter, I will definitely be back - best resto I've tried in Montreal!
Tiamo was hands down one of the highlights of our Montreal trip. The food, drinks, & overall atmosphere were absolutely incredible. Every dish was delicious, the cocktails were amazing, & the energy of the restaurant was unmatched.
The service truly stood out! The servers were so fun, attentive, & made the entire experience feel special from start to finish. Our server Hamza went out of his way to make sure our experience was a memorable one. & the vibe? Spectacular! The DJ completely elevated the night & created such an unforgettable atmosphere.
If you're looking for amazing food, great music, & a perfect fun dinner out in Montreal, Tiamo is a must.
We visited Tiamo on a weekday evening. Our first impression was positive. The hostess was welcoming & proactive in finding us a table despite our spontaneous visit.
However, service was quite slow. We waited nearly 30 minutes before seeing our server, which felt unusually long & had us considering leaving. Fortunately, we were attended to shortly after.
We ordered the Italian sausage pizza & the Mediterranean pizza. The dough was well-made & met expectations, but the overall experience was mixed. One pizza was enjoyable, while the other was let down by a canned-tasting tomato sauce that lacked depth & flavor.
The ambiance & decor are beautiful, though the space is quite small with tables placed close together. In the evening, the music was fairly loud although still manageable for conversation, but not ideal. The staff interactions felt somewhat robotic & transactional, which took away from the overall experience.
Overall, I likely wouldn't return for dinner, but I'd consider giving it another try during the afternoon. So who would I bring to Tiamo? A casual friend.
Went for my girlfriends birthday & got reservations. We were seated immediately but it took over an hour to receive our food whilst multiple other patrons who came some time after us received theirs. When it came out it was good but not as good as the price tag would make you think. Tables are crammed together so you can barely breathe (think New York City apartment) & music is playing just loudly enough to interfere with your conversation & seemed to go up in volume as our time there went on.
Booked a reservation & they are fairly accommodating to our group of 7 with dining upstairs & down stairs. Very aesthetic & cute for photos (lots of mirrors). There is loud music but the playlist was good. Cocktails & wines good, well priced as well. 3 courses & cocktails won't run you up a ridiculous amount.
-Food-
Appetizers: Meatballs are a little dry but seasoned very nicely & have a good taste, octopus very forgettable
Mains: The rosé rigatoni & sausage was one of the best options, good sauce but not a lot of sausage. Ragu veal pasta good but nothing extremely wow. Duck linguine had a fake bacon taste. Will not be coming back for the pastas. All dishes came out pipping hot!!!
desserts: DELICIOUS & the best part of our experience. Even if you don't traditionally like chocolate mousse, like me, i still suggest giving this one a try. The chef creates a decadent twist to this dessert & it was AMAZING. The tiramisu creme was so delicious. At the time of our visit, the dessert of the day was cheesecake. Super creamy & light, maybe just missing a couli.
-Service-
The food runners seemed very young &
confused, not dressed well, & basically slammed the plates on the table. Water was very scarce & wasn't refilled. Old plates stayed on the table even if second courses had come. Wine glasses weren't very shiny & unused ones weren't cleared from the table even if we didn't have much space. Minimal knowledge of the menu. We were not informed of any last calls for the bar & couldn't order more. They were definitely pushing for us to pay quickly & leave even if we hadn't ordered dessert yet. The waiter was still sweet all things considered.
