Reviews paint Tuck Shop as a destination for exceptional food, warm attentive service, and a lively yet intimate atmosphere, with a consistently rotating, seasonal menu that highlights local ingredients and thoughtful pairing of elements; diners praise standout dishes such as hanger steak, pork belly, oysters, octopus, duck duo, and desserts, along with impressive plating and wine knowledge from the staff. The team is repeatedly described as friendly, professional, and genuinely caring, capable of accommodating private functions and offering experiences at the chef's counter or chalet, contributing to a sense of being welcomed into a modern kitchen. A few critiques surface about loud environments and occasional pacing or pricing concerns, and some guests note menu changes that can affect expectations, but these are outweighed by the overall impression of quality, consistency, and value for those celebrating special occasions or seeking a special night out. Overall, it is regarded as a Montreal gem with reliable excellence in both food and service that draws guests back again and again.
Tuck Shop saved what could have been a terrible night. After being ignored for 25 min at a nearby popular restaurant we audibled & called Tuck Shop. It was late but they fit us in. Everything was stellar - service, vibe, & oh the food. So glad we ended up there. Will be back!

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.
Très bon restaurant, avec des produits de qualités ! Mention spéciale pour le carré de porc qui est délicieux. J'ai aussi beaucoup apprécié le regard des serveurs envers les plats qu'ils apportent. Même eux qui voient défiler les assiettes toutes la journée les regardent avec amour & envie 😁
Superbe restaurant à la hauteur de mes attentes. Tout ce que j'y ai mangé était bon & l'endroit était très beau. Je reviendrai c'est sûr ! Le seul bémol était que la bière que j'ai pris était un peu oxydée je pense car celle-ci est d'habitude meilleure.
Food was fantastic, loved the pairings of flavours! Gabriel was amazing, everything he suggested complimented eachother perfectly. Especially the wine & ravioli combo 🤌🏼
Great place for casual fine dining. The creativity of the food is impressive. Servers are knowledgeable & make excellent wine & food recommendations. Worth a visit. Worth coming back.

Tout est absolument délicieux, les saveurs sont parfaitement agencées, du bonheur pour les papilles! J'ai adoré mon expérience. Le service y est impecable. Je vous recommande ce restaurant!!!
Food is great, limited menu but great options & very tasty. Atmosphere super comfy. Extra points for the amazing service, all the staff was super accommodating with our toddler who couldn't stay in place!
You need to go here! We were immediately greeted by friendly staff & taken to our table. Our water glasses were full the entire time thanks to the attentive waiters. Our server Gabe gave a fantastic wine recommendation & he made the experience so enjoyable! The atmosphere was beautiful between the dimmed lights & lovely music. The food was *chefs kiss*. I'll fly back to Montreal just to come here again!
The culinary finesse & aesthetic appeal of the dishes at Tuck Shop are flawlessly complemented by the staff's top-notch service. As regulars who often celebrate special occasions here, my wife & I are continually charmed by the experience. My go-to dish is the hanger steak served with chimichurri & accompanied by crisp fries, while my wife usually opts for the freshest catch of the day. If available, don't overlook the focaccia - it's a flavour-packed masterpiece that's nothing short of divine.
