Reviews portray Tsak-Tsak as a welcoming spot with generous portions and warm, friendly service. The menu is described as varied and homemade, with Malagasy flavors that cover brunch, lunch, and breakfast staples and offer good value. Diners frequently highlight large portions, thoughtful garnishes, and standout sauces like the house chili and a mint lemon sorbet, along with options that feel both comforting and chef driven. The atmosphere is noted as both tranquil and lively depending on the time, with some mentioning a stylish decor and others noting a worn interior and occasional noise. A few nits include pancakes that can be bland, potatoes that are a bit burnt, and a beef curry that leans more on tomato sauce than spice, plus occasional delays or service hiccups. Overall, Tsak-Tsak is seen as a solid Malagasy influenced option worth returning to for flavorful dishes, generous servings, and friendly hospitality.

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
