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.
Great restaurant with a variety of choices for brunch & dinner. They have a special menu for traditional Madagascar dishes. Very authentic & delicious! We ordered the beef & porc & were very pleased. We also got the passion fruit juice & it was so refreshing. Nice waiter, good decor inside & an outdoor terrace (on a noisier street) would definitely come back!

Perfect brinch place. The saumon chic is delicious & an incredible value for the price. Try the lemonade & put a couple dabs of their hot sauce on your dish.
À chaque fois que je vais chez Tsak-Tsak, c'est la propriétaire qui fait le service, avec des petits commentaires chaleureux qui te font sentir comme si tu étais chez toi. Je prends toujours la même chose parce que c'est juste trop un coup de coeur!! L'assiette Saumon Chic est tellement bien balancée dans ses saveurs, & tout les petits détails font que c'est un délice à chaque fois (même la petite salade on the side est un régal!). Je fais très rarement des reviews sur Google, mais là vraiment je trouve que c'est underrated comme place.
Delicious meal & experience! We got the fois gras Benedictines & saumon chic. We also tried the Rayon de Soleil & Creme de douceur smoothie. Very delicious experience. The salmon & bread were home made!
Nous avons eu une très belle première expérience ici. La serveuse était très sympathique & la nourriture excellente. J'ai adoré l'assiette de saumon fumé au whisky. Les oeufs, le pain, les patates, la salade, la sauce à la crème sûre, le saumon fumé… tout était délicieux & harmonieux. Mon copain a pris l'assiette Sucré Salé avec les pancakes au chocolat Dubai & a lui aussi beaucoup aimé. Sachez cependant que le chocolat est très sucré.
We stopped for a late lunch in our nephew's neighborhood on a chilly January afternoon. The menu at the entrance caught our eye, & we decided to give it a try. Little did we know, we were in for a delightful surprise!
From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a super warm welcome. We were promptly seated at our table, & after some brief explanations of the menu, we were ready for lift-off.
As the plates started to come out, our first thoughts were,'This looks tasty!' The portions were generous, & the presentation was inviting. As a lover of spicy food, the house pepper sauce stole the show for me. It was perfectly balanced & elevated our dishes to a whole new level.
After indulging in heavenly desserts & great coffee, we had a lovely chat with the owner. She shared the fascinating history of Tsak Tsak & how it came to be. What a wonderful lady!
I can't wait to visit again soon (sorry it took me this long to post the review).
A very warm, friendly place with a great selection of breakfast / brunch options. Servings are generous, & prices are fair. Ingredients are always fresh, presentation is good, & the service is fast, friendly, & attentive. Breads, including the English muffins which are the base for their Eggs Benedict, are baked fresh in-house. The restaurant is run by a super friendly & hard-working family. I always stop by here when I'm in town.
