Review Summary

Tsak Tsak gathers praise for a warm, friendly vibe and a menu built around in house made dishes and Madagascar inspired flavors, with breakfast favorites like poached eggs and the saumon chic and other dishes that feel thoughtfully balanced; everything is made in house from condiments to the mayo, and house hot sauce and bright beverages like soursop juice and mint lemonade are frequently highlighted as standouts. The atmosphere is described as bright and welcoming, with attentive staff and, when present, a pleasant outdoor terrace, making it feel like a homey spot for brunch, lunch, or dinner in the Mile End area. While a few reviews note occasional freshness issues on certain components such as English muffins or fruit in bowls, the overall sentiment remains that Tsak Tsak delivers flavorful, high quality Malagasy inspired cuisine at good value, with many mentioning they would return for the breakfast, the flavors, and the warm service.

Just north of the corner at Laurier & St. Laurent Blvd, Tsak Tsak (formerly L'Inconnu) is a quaint casual breakfast/brunch bistro with a larger menu that should satisfy most, if not all, tastes. The restaurants atmosphere has potential but could definitely use some work. From the street view window the décor is casual bohemian but when you enter the kitchen & relevant equipment is exposed, along with some storage shelving...it could be easily covered up to help convey a more lux experience. That said, our meal was quite good. We ordered a hot chocolate (very good...using real chocolate & not from powder), the Bagel Salmon (very good...but could have had the bagel toasted & added red onions to the plate...if you order this, make sure to ask the server as it will help a lot) & Pear French Toast (excellent...using brioche bread & a sautéed pear with cheese curds & nuts...somewhat like a french toast poutine...something unique & very tasty). Service was good & the food arrived relatively quickly but they were clearly short staffed & a patron rush would have put pressure on them. Overall I would have given them 4.5 stars. Enjoy!

Comparé à tous les brunchs fancy mais pas forcément bons du quartier, le Tsak Tsak s'impose comme l'une des meilleures adresses du Mile End. Son menu est assez classique, les assiettes sont bonnes & bien garnies. Toutes les saveurs sont excellentes.

Amazing place with delicious homemade food.

Surprisingly, it is not crowded even during the lunch hours, with taking into account how good the food & services there is really something to change for people in the area.

Very nice place for brunch. If you're one of those people who likes spicy food, this place has its own special hot sauce that has the most accurate caption on it "It's very hot, but very tasty".

Nous y sommes allés pour le brunch de la Fête des Pères.

Pas d'accueil à l'arrivée, nous avons nous-mêmes trouvé la table de notre réservation. Lorsque tout le monde fût arrivé, j'ai dû me lever pour demander les menus parce que 30 minutes après notre arrivée, personne ne nous avait encore parlé. Puis, il a fallu 45 minutes pour recevoir nos assiettes. Les breuvages avaient pris eux-mêmes une trentaine de minutes à être servis après la commande. L'une des convives n'a pas reçu ce qu'elle avait commandé, mais heureusement la facture fût ajustée.

Ce qui a sauvé l'expérience, c'est la qualité de la nourriture. Les oeufs bénédictines avec foie gras & chutney de figues & pain aux noix étaient absolument délicieux. Ceux qui ont mangé le Glouton ont apprécié les viandes maison. Le seul bémol côté bouffe, c'est que le coeur de l'un des oeufs pochés n'était pas fondant.

Bref, on a envie d'aimer Tsak Tsak & d'y retourner pour la nourriture succulente, mais le service gâche l'expérience & fait en sorte que je ne peux le recommander.
