Overall, Tuck Shop earns praise for fresh, flavorful dishes across a versatile menu, with oysters and the housemade hot sauce often highlighted as memorable, and service described as attentive in a warm, welcoming atmosphere; some visits note the space can be loud at peak hours and a few dishes feel imbalanced or overfussy, but the fish and the duck regularly read as standouts and desserts like chocolate espresso cake and coconut cream pie are favorites. The kitchen is commended for thoughtful plating and seasonal changes that keep the menu exciting, while prices are sometimes considered high and a few guests felt certain meals did not fully land. Still, many leave inspired and eager to return, thanks to strong guidance from staff, a lively open kitchen vibe, and consistently high hospitality.
Une pépite à découvrir ! Mes fils m'ont invitée pour la fête des mères & tout était parfait. Le personnel est incroyablement accueillant & chaleureux. La nourriture était succulente, avec des produits frais. De plus, le restaurant était impeccable, d'une propreté irréprochable, ce qui est très appréciable. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter, je recommande vivement! Un grand merci pour le propriétaire & pour son équipe!!

Tout les plats que nous avons testé étaient absolument délicieux. Les sauces étaient parfaitement balancées, & les cuissons (notamment le magret) bien exécutées.
Par contre, à noter que partager à 4 fait en sorte que les portions pour goûter chaque plat sont plutôt petites. Peut-être plus simple de partager à 2!
Our first time & really loved our overall experience, our water was always filled & our waiter Johnny always checked up on us. So far this was the best duck magret I've ever tried. The alabama oysters were very meaty! Price point matched the service & quality of food.

The food was good, fired mushrooms & fish of the day, but it wasn't'oh my god, there is a festival in my mouth' good. & while I'd be ok with that at a regular-good restaurant ; for a place that claims to offer fine dining experience with the price tag that comes with it, I expected more.
The service was fast & friendly, that's all I can say. It didn't have the attention to detail when the food was presented.
The atmosphere.. it was loud! & that's not a bad thing if that's your vibe. I was sitting at the bar, & chatting up with my neighbors required almost yelling. Those at the table were literally yelling! Again, not a bad thing, it's lively, but not a place for an intimate date night.
The staff are all fantastic,all contributing to a great experience. If I lived in Montreal I would definitely be a regular at this place. Canadians & Australians have so much in common even in French speaking Montreal :)
Everything was good, but oysters were prob the star of the show for me. The oysters tgemselves so fresh & tasty, the vinegar w pepper, the HOUSEMADE HOT SAUCE 🤯best i ever had i cannot believe they dont sell it.
Great service, full restuarant but water was always filled.
The duck was very good & i would recommend it for a main for sure!
Volume is prettyvloud at peak hours but manageable, maybe not the best for a first date spot in that regard.
This was another great dinner - brought a newbie with me & he was blown away - no misses here on the menu - but above & beyond the great food, the service was a few notches above excellent - well done to Liam for the guidance, the recos & frankly just a great attitude, you made the evening that much better ! Easily the best fish dish i've had in years (fluke) - mind blown. I always come back, my friend will be back & TY to the whole team for keeping it at such a high level all these years.
PS: The Oysters (Summer Love) were outstanding.

Tuck Shop is the restaurant equivalent of that one friend who never tries too hard but always shows up looking incredible. Tucked on Notre-Dame West in Saint-Henri, it has the rare quality of being a genuinely great restaurant that doesn't seem to know - or care - that it's a genuinely great restaurant. No dress code, no attitude, no one asking you how the first few bites are going. Just good people, good wine, & good food doing its thing.
The steak frites is the kind of dish that makes you briefly angry at every other steak frites you've ever had. Perfectly cooked, no theatrics, no unnecessary foam or micro-herb situation - just meat & fries that have clearly been thought about by people who take the simple stuff seriously. This is the spot where industry people go on their nights off, & if that's not the highest possible endorsement a restaurant can receive, I don't know what is.
A great culinary experience! Our waiter was super fun & made this experience even better. We were in the backroom & it allows you to have a more intimate & cozy meal. The food was amazing & every dish was made to perfection. The portions were perfect. Highly recommend the chocolate espresso cake for dessert! It finishes the meal perfectly. Will be back!
This is our favourite restaurant in the city. We brought my mom here while she was visiting us & had such a great time. The service is attentive without being overbearing & the staff are personable. My mom said it was the best steak she's ever had & has already asked that we come back here on her next trip to Montreal.
