Overall Tsak-Tsak earns praise for warm friendly service and a cozy welcoming vibe, with staff described as kind and attentive; the menu is varied and often praised for generous home style dishes and a strong Malagasy influence, with standout items such as eggs Benedict variations, misao fried noodles, Tsak Tsak soup dumpling noodle soup, beef ravitoto, and hearty brunch plates. Portions are described as large and prices reasonable, making it a reliable spot for lunch or brunch, and the quality feels homemade with flavorful sauces, including a house chili that adds a kick. Some reviews note a worn interior, a few dishes that were bland or overcooked, and occasional service delays or a noisy space. A few mentions highlight quirks like a breakfast burger that is actually a burger, and a vegan brunch that impressed, along with strong recommendations for those seeking Malagasy flavors. All in all it comes across as a beloved neighborhood staple for Malagasy cuisine with many patrons returning, attracted by variety, affordability and comforting dishes.
ma gratitude envers cet établissement est immense. dans sa générosité la plus totale, les propriétaires & son l'équipe a accepté de nous recevoir de manière totalement spontanée, faisant une exception hors de leurs horaires habituels pour mon anniversaire. outre son service, même le personnel s'est joint à notre célébration. on sent ici une réelle volonté de bien faire & d'offrir le meilleur. je ne peux leur souhaiter que tout le succès & la longévité. merci encore pour ce si profond & précieux souvenir.
Mon brunch préféré dans le quartier depuis plusieurs années !
Service toujours chaleureux & cuisine excellente (tout est fait maison avec beaucoup d'attention).
First time trying Malagasy cuisine & the sambosa sauces blew me away-tangy, spicy, & full of character. The house chili sauce tasted just like an authentic Burundian hot sauce-fantastic. The mint-lemon sorbet was also a winner: super refreshing & beautifully served.
On the downside, the interior feels worn, pancakes were bland, potatoes a bit burnt, & the beef curry leaned more tomato-sauce than a well-spiced stew (though the spice blend gave the meat a distinct gaminess).
Still, the flavors in the sauces & sorbet make it worth the visit.
They have big portions. I got the gluoton & my bf got the egg platter (forgot the name). Every element of the dish was well made, even the salad! Their house made chili sauce also added a nice kick to the food. For drinks we got the chai latte & the chocolate baileys coffee. Both were really good. Would come back when we're back in Montreal
Such a hidden gem… such a great taste experience. A small menu, but everything was so good & tasty. I highly recommend it for a Malagasy taste adventure!!
Vraiment délicieux, tout est fait maison avec amour & ça paraît. Mon endroit pour déjeuner & ne pas être déçue depuis des années. Je recommande les bénédictines jambon
