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.
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!
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!
One of my favourite restaurants in Montreal! The dishes are amazing, & the ambiance is welcoming & warm. The service is also exceptional.
If you're looking for an upscale dining experience, without the stuffy interior that tends to come with fine dining, I highly recommend Tuckshop. Plus, they're open on Mondays.
We went to Tuck Shop on December 6th for a special occasion- the food was terrific, the service by Luis was impeccable ( two of us worked as servers in the past-he was a perfect waiter- attentive, not pushy, there when we needed him!) & the atmosphere is great- we highly recommend Tuck Shop!

I'd give 11 stars if I could. Good cocktails, not pretentious, quality fresh food, seasonal & killer vibe. Jonathan is a rockstar, anticipated our needs before we asked. Loved the service I highly recommend.
We were Invited to Celebrate my husband's birthday by a good friend. First time at Tuck Shop & it amazed me very much. Food are very delicious, staff are kind, the decor are very nice. Highly recommend.
Everything was great, the service was impecable from the greeting at the door & the staff was friendly & knowledgeable the food was excellent, asparagus, pork belly & oisters were the stars & very good the whole table raved about it all. The outside terrace was an unexpected surprise. Highly recommend my only regret was not being able to taste everything on the menu.
Upscale, trendy, very loud. The food was amazing & the selection was very interesting. We did have to wait awhile for our food but it was worth it. The alcohol menu was a bit limited (cocktails, beers, glasses of wine) except the wine bottle selection was very extensive. Our server Kirsten was exceptional as was the rest of the wait staff. I'd highly recommend Tuck Shop if you don't mind a bit of volume.
Tuck shop has always been a montreal institution. Their menu is seasonal & the place is super cozy & charming, but the one thing that truly stands out & resonates with you is their impeccable service. It was my third time there, & I can honestly say that the service really elevates your experience. We had the cod croquettes & beef tartare to start & then shared the roasted trout & the truffle tagliatelle. Their beef tartare is simple & delicious, perfect consistency & zing. The code croquettes had the perfect crunch, & were flaky on the inside. The tagliatelle was definitely freshly made, the sauce was buttery & the white & black truffle shavings were the start of the dish. All their wines were privately imported, & the waitress helped us select a wine to suite our palate. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience & I highly recommend Tuck shop to anyone that appreciates good food & a cozy ambiance.
