Our family went to eat at a repeatedly recommended restaurant on our visit to Montreal & we were not disappointed! Well done Ti Amo!
We (2A2C under 10) walked from our hotel to the restaurant just shy of 7pm on a Saturday & we were told we could sit at the window rail which we we rejected as we didn't want our two little ones to eat supper looking out at a few homeless laying on the street in front, then were offered at the kitchen counter. After a moment we changed our mind & decided to find somewhere else. The owner, Yusuf (I hope I got the spelling right), said he could arrange something for us & to wait a moment. He arranged sone seating & next thing we were sitting upstairs looking over the menus eager to sample that which we'd been told was a delight.
Scrumptious mells rose from the kitchen below & we eagerly ordered from our fantasticly attentive & personable waitress our appetizers, drinks, & main courses.
Bruschetta was bright, creative, & delicious. The veal meatballs were generous & filled with flavour. The octopus on the other hand was the star of the whole meal! Perfectly tender & bursting with flavour, it sat upon a gently spiced beet puree/mash adorned with roasted brussel sprouts which were the perfect counter for the richness of the octopus. Just SOOOO good!!
Our mains (which did take a little while if I'm being honest) were really good but was where a couple of errors brought the 5 star down to a 4. The lobster ravioli was delicate, rich, & not shy of lobster! The pizza which tasted fantastic was slightly undercooked leaving the dough floppy. Ingredients were top end & generous! The big oops was the Osso risotto. The osso was not trimmed properly & while ridiculously tender beef & perfectly seasoned, the fat/meat content was a 60/40 or 70/30 split. Our waitress totally agreed & Yusuf came by as well on the matter.
We then got a tiramisu which was light & full of flavour & it disappeared in a matter of seconds when it hit the table! Then a duo of canelloni with pistachios & chocolate was delivered by the owner himself to make up for the risotto slip. Absolutely delicious but moreso a great professional touch which spoke volumes about the place.
By the way...I'm classically trained chef of over 30 yrs who is super picky & it takes a lot to impress me!
Bottom line is that Ti Amo is a place to go if you like great food & great service run by a truly caring owner. We'll be back indeed!
Moi & ma copine on est aller manger la bas en petite sortie, on est pas de Montréal & on voulais se gâter.
Le service était simplement incroyable & la vibe/ ambiance était parfaite, en rentrant des clients nous on demander prendre une photo d'eux avec leur drinks très beau.
donc déjà la les drinks sont bons & la clientèle est gentille !
Une fois assise moi & ma blonde on a pris notre entrée hyper bonne & finalement notre repas, j'ai aucune plainte, à part que c'est trop bon !
Au début j'avais peur des prix & j'ai même hésiter à y aller, mais une fois que j'ai vue les portions jetait plus que satisfait!
Je recommande & je vais y retourner, sure à 100%!!
I really enjoyed the overall atmosphere of this restaurant. The interior design is beautiful, thoughtfully curated, & creates a unique vibe that makes the dining experience feel special from the moment you walk in. It's clear that a lot of effort has gone into every detail, from the décor to the presentation of both the food & drinks.
The food itself was delicious, with great flavors & high-quality ingredients. That said, two of the three pizzas we ordered were noticeably overcooked & had burnt crusts, which took away from what could have been an excellent meal. Hopefully, that was just an inconsistency rather than the norm.
The cocktails were another highlight although they were a bit overpriced. They were beautifully presented, creative, & visually impressive, with unique flavor combinations that made them fun to try. My only concern was that the glasses had a slight unpleasant smell, which made me wonder if they could be cleaned more thoroughly before serving. It's a small detail, but it can make a noticeable difference to the overall experience.
Despite those issues, I would still recommend giving this restaurant a try. The atmosphere is fantastic, the menu is creative, & the food & drinks have a lot of potential. With a little more attention to consistency & cleanliness, this place could easily become one of my favorites.

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!
Première fois à ce restaurant
Très belle ambiance, nous avons bien été accueilli par Syphax sympathique & offrant une service personnalisé ! Je recommande ;)
My best friend & I had an amazing experience at Tiamo. Bianca & Oleksandra accommodated my bestie who is vegan & created a custom pizza, loaded up with every veggie they had! The atmosphere is modern & lively & the cocktails were very elevated & polished. We had such a great time chatting with all the staff. Highly recommend!
Arrivé dans ce resto relativement tôt pour l'heure du souper. Au début, un serveur nous a placé à l'étage où ya les tables mais un autre bien moins sympathique nous a placé en bas en face du bar. C'était heureusement le seul petit accro. Ensuite, une serveuse formidable s'est occupé de nous. On a commandé 2 pizzas 4 fromages & méditerranéenne. C'était très bien. Les drinks aussi.
Je recommande de réserver avant de se déplacer pour éviter les mauvaises surprises.
Me & my 2 cousins came from Toronto & decided to go to TIAMO because it was close to our hotel & it ended up being the best restaurant we ever went to! Our server Bianca was amazing. We got the burrata pizza & rigatoni TIAMO & they were so good! The restaurant its self has a great vibe & beautiful setup. 1000% recommend if you're in Montreal!!
