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.
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.
L'onglet au menu était servi avec des frites tellement salées! Je n'ai pas terminé mon assiette. Le serveur m'a prévenu avoir informé le chef des frites trop salées. Je crois que je vais avoir des ulcères buccaux post Tuck Shop Rien à été offert pour remplacer ou compenser ! Pour un resto qui se dit gastronomique faudrait accoté avec un peu plus de professionnalisme! Le plat de pâtes qu'a pris mon copain ressemblait à un plat de pâte faite maison un soir de déprime. Aucune élégance. Une qualité bistro au prix des grands Bof
We were 5 women- shared 5 appetizers & 3 mains & 1 dessert - our bellies were very satisfied. Delicious! Service, ambiance & food all excellent. This was not my first visit, but for the rest, it was their first time & they definitely want to go back. The staff even folds your serviette when you get up to go to the restroom! That added touch is much appreciated.
Had a fabulous meal - service impeccable. The cod fish croquette was a little salty for my liking but overall a 5 star experience. They really care for the customer experience.
Prices were high for what the restaurant is. It was too crowded for me, I'd be at peace if it was mentioned in the description that it would be a loud & crowded place... I wasn't expecting such close quarters to other patrons & having to be so close to the servers rear end when they'd serve the table beside us. The starters were good, oysters were absolutely fantastic & the tar tar remarkable, the mains were dull... cappelletti pasta was too thick, undercooked & over salted, & the duck dish's other components which were the sausage & the croquette thing didn't make sense to the orientation of it all. The server that we had looked depressed which really set the tone for the whole meal; however the other servers were actually good, I'd wish they served us instead of the other girl. I brought my aunt for her 42nd birthday here & I wish it would've been better.
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.
