Really nice atmosphere & the service is the kind where you actually feel taken care of. The scallop was great & the hanger steak with fries is honestly one of the best I've had in Montreal. The duck was a bit of a miss for me but everything else was really solid. Would go back.
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.
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.
So so good

This was my first visit & I was extremely impressed. Came out for dinner with my wife. The staff was extremely nice, polite , professional & efficient. The food was unbelievable. I don't usually rave about a place but everything we had was delicious. From the brioche bread. The oysters, tuna crudo & the beet salad as appetizers. Main dish was the duck & the bolognese pasta was incredible. Definitely recommend! My compliments to the chefs & the staff. Keep up the great work !
I went to celebrate my Bday & I was really looking forward to try the duck, but the waiter told me they change menu every other week. I order the chicken which was really good instead. The fried mushrooms were sooooo good but I guess everything that's fry it's better. We were a little bit disappointed of the fish. The taste was not there, the beurre blanc sauce was tasteless not good at all, also we ordered the scallops as an entry & same flavor was tasteless. I guess seafood are not their forte, surprisingly because the sauce of the chicken was amazing. Dessert was ok nothing wow but the espresso martini was really good 😊
My husband & I had an absolutely delicious meal at Tuck Shop. We sat at the Chef's Table, which is always a fun experience for a restaurant to offer (I love an open kitchen). Gabriel, our server, was very attentive - as was the bartender & the rest of the staff. The food was incredible, & all was plated SO beautifully - Michelin star level plating. We started with oysters, & loved their specialty hot sauce that they had on the side. We then split the grilled octopus (which was so tender & not at all chewy like you sometimes get), the pork belly (which came in the most incredible sauce), the Duck Duo (yum!), & the Chocolate Nemesis dessert - which was the only thing I managed to take a picture of. We left with very happy stomachs. Highly recommend!
This is the real deal. Pork belly was wonderful with a Gouda sauce. Duck with foir gras was nuts. Nice scallop crudo. Excellent creme brulee. Wonderful service. Great manager. Worth the trip to that part of town
Great ambience & amazing service! More of a lowkey, casual fine dining place. We got the Focaccia to start & it was honestly the best I ever had. Perfectly salted, super soft on the inside, & add the perfect crisp on the outside. For the mains we split the: - Hanger Steak it was good & the fries were good, but nothing special - Duck magret the duck was cooked soo well & I liked all the complementary components of the dish - Cappelletti my husband loved this dish, but since I'm not a fan of sweeter pasta, I couldn't not taste pumpkin pie. He however, thought it was the best dish out of the 3 we tried
Came here back in November 2023. The food was pretty good. We ordered some oysters, beef tartare, foie torchon, a roasted duck breast, & this godly braised leek with smoked swordfish & caviar dish. I was looking at the recent reviews & it seems they rotated that dish out. Such a shame. Everything was pretty mid, but that one leek dish made this a full-on 5 star experience.
Amazing place to go out for a romantic dinner or just casual dinner out with friends. They alway have a season menu. Eg. in summer they have snow crab which is delicious with some other fish dishes. In winter they have an amazing duck. Totally recommend!
