My experience at Tiramisu turned out to be perfect!
I mean under normal circumstances I feel like my family & I were just had a very unlucky night, but the manager, Andy, made our experience very special.
I'll explain...
First we had made our reservations online for 3pm, but when we arrived the hostess kindly told us there must have been a mistake because the kitchen closes at 3pm & reopens at 5pm. It was a little inconvenient, but it actually turned out really well because we got to do a little extra sight-seeing & it made my Mother's birthday extra special:) When we came back at 5pm, a new hostess seated us at one of the booths at the back (I would strongly recommend sitting over there because the ambience is absolutely amazing!!! The restaurant has a beautiful vintage (70s-vibe) decor which we could really appreciate from that section.
So, as an appetizer we ordered the beef tartare & grilled octopus. My family was amazed by the texture of the octopus, & the tomato confit was spot-on, but honestly my favourite was the beef tartare!!! I mean the tartare was accompanied with these delicious deep-fried ginger-flavoured rice balls with fior di latte cheese inside & topped with a miso aioli! When I say they were amazing, I mean they were absolutely a-m-a-z-i-n-g. They really captured the Japanese-Italian fusion! I would have bought the dish again just for the the rice balls🙂
For our main course we ended up ordering one al ragu, one al tartufe & one piccante. I was the one who ordered the al ragu, but unfortunately I just didn't like it...I found the sauce was too watery, I would have liked to it is purred & topped with meat chunks because sauce was too liquids & I found the taste a little bland. But I understand it is probably just a personal preference. What I really appreciated was when Andy saw our table he was very accommodating & genuinely nice about the whole situation. He kindly asked me what I wanted instead, & the al tartufe was everything I wasn't in a pasta...it was creamy, well-seasoned & very flavourful:) I couldn't have need more pleased!
Finally, for dessert we really wanted to get the tiramisu (I mean how can you not get tiramisu at tiramisu) but unfortunately the waiter told us they ran out of tiramisu...the irony was the highlight of our night-but it really made it special. Instead they put a sparkler on tiramisu ice-cream & gave us some shots for my Mother's birthday! All of our experiences at Tiramisu made our night unforgettable (in a good way) & I think we will be back soon!!:)
Issues arise in any restaurant, but it's the way the staff deals with them...that's what makes the restaurant really good. The staff at Tiramisu were really friendly, & super accommodating. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, it was an unforgettable night & one that really made my Mother's Day special. Thank you so much, we appreciate everything:)

Tout était absolument délicieux! Le pain doré est parfaitement croustillant & décadent, mais très lourd dans l'estomac à cause de la quantité d'huile absorbée lors de la friture! Nous étions 4 personnes & avions commandé 4 assiettes à partager. C'était parfait :) Je recommande fortement de partager l'assiette de pain doré.
As far as I am concerned, Tiramisu is the best place in Montreal. Location is perfect (close to chinatown & old Montreal), the food is really good & the atmosphere is unbeatable. Highly recommended.
Nous recommandons fortement! La nourriture & les cocktails sont excellents, le service était très agréable & l'endroit est magnifique! 5/5 sans hésiter!!
Menu du Brunch en heureuse collaboration avec Passé Composé. le service par Elie je le souhaite à tous
Mimosa avec jus orange frais pressé, pas toujours le cas dans d'autres établissements

Everything was amazing & delicious. We had a salad, pasta of the day, a negroni, & tiramisu for dessert. I have no complaints at all! I really recommend trying this place!
So disappointed by Tiramisu! So loud you barely hear the person in front of you
Pro: food, cocktails, décor (minus the graffiti) : Cons: LOUD LOUD LOUD
Will not go again.
Chef Chanthy Yen is a master & I wanted to try Tiramisu because he worked on the menu & plates. Overall, I will never go again in this LOUD restaurant. People at other tables were either screaming at themselves, or just stay silent like the table of 5 I could see from my seat.
FOOD: it's a pizzeria with influences of Asian cuisine. Very good plates presentation. & it mix well. The pizza dough was nice & airy, flavors were there, interesting combination of mortadella & truffle oil. I recommend this plate. The Tonkotsu was good, but it missed some punch. Pork meat was dry so a little less cooked would have been excellent. Missing a little spicy flavor that would kick just a little (& I'm not a fan of hot dishes). My favorite dish was the Tiramisu for dessert. Light, great coffee flavor.
Drinks: fair on alcohol, & balance between acid, sour, umami & sweet. Definitely you have to try one cocktail.
Ambiance: there is a DJ playing music you could hear on a fashion defile. Loud, rhythmic, & after 2h, you're feeling you've heard quite same song since the beginning. The décor is modern, with concrete surfaces that enhance echo. People come here for drinks & food & get to shout at their friends / partner to be heard. We came at 7, sound was 82dB. At 8pm, it averages 87-88dB. Improvement required here.

Great ambiance & spaces. The foods was delicious & the staff very accommodating since I came early in the evening around 5 pm. I would try their wooden pizza next time 😋. The portion of the pasta is quite reasonable & the sauce is very tasty. All the elements of the flavours is quite rich & I would recommend. 👍
Très beau décor & belle ambiance ( même si la musique était un peu forte). Bon service & très bon repas! Je le recommande pour une belle soirée animée entre amis!
L'ambiance est feutrée & la musique très bien sélectionnée. J'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir avec mes amies.
Je recommande les polpettes & la pizza mortadelle, pistaches, miel. Un délice.
We loved our night at Tiramisu! Le ambiance & the decor is astonishing - I've never seen so much marble in one location. The attention to details by the owners is also impressive - the melting candles, the italian statue with japanese-style tattoes, the grenery, etc. The staff was extremely attentive - we followed their recommendations for cocktails (Garibaldi), wine by the glass (both natural wine), & had the sushi-arancini & tartare, olive/fennel salad, margarita pizza & the mortadelle pizza to go. All delicious! We highly recommend & will be back soon!
Amazing service - Delicious food !
Highly recommended if you love Italian food.
The staff was simply incredible & also made a huge difference in our experience.
Amazing! It was our second time at Tiramisu & absolutely loved it again. Food is delicious, ambiance & music is great & good service! Definitely recommend!
