Simply amazing ! The food was delicious! Exceptional service as well by Johnny & the staff from the minute we walked in to when we left. The cozy vibe was just right to top it off!
Fantastic experience. The food was excellent. Wonderful ambience. & the service was next level. Would definitely recommend. Will most certainly come again.
This place is so underrated. Portions are generous so you don't end up spending as much as you think. Menu changes weekly. Such high quality service, prep & ingredients.
Been a while since I was that impressed by a kitchen. The flavor profil is amazing, the service was one of the best i had in town & the all vibe was awsome.
We'd give it a 4.5 but this rating system doesn't allow for that. Tuck Shop was great. The service was amazing. We literally tried every appetizer, entree & dessert & everythwas delicious. It's a seasonal menu that seems to change every so often & everything was very fresh. We also loved the ambiance. While we requested the main dining room, we were out in the chalet section which was actually great & quieter than the other room. We'll be back!

J'ai longtemps apprécié ce restaurant mais mes 3 dernières visites ont été plutôt décevante & la dernière est simplement digne d'un review négatif. Le service est particulièrement en déclin; nous avons commandé des apéritifs qui ont mal été distribués à la table, lorsque nous avons (très poliment) demandé de revérifier si nous avions chacun le bon apéro on nous a invité à se lever & demander au bar tender s'il avait fait une erreur! Je n'ai jamais vu ce genre d'attitude dans un restaurant. S'en sont suivi des oublis de plats, aucune attention à la satisfaction des bouchées, on m'a enlevé mon verre de vin duquel je me gardais 2 gorgées pour terminer mon repas (sans me demander si j'avais terminé!) & la touche finale, les plats & sauces sont tellement riches (mais délicieux) que personne de mon groupe n'a digéré le repas & avons passé une nuit d'indigestions assez incommodantes. Dommage!
Steak was melt in your mouth. Sauce au poivre not too overpowering & just enough flavour, & the fries wowowowowow - more please. Enjoyed the fried mushrooms, really liked the scallop crudo, & mussel toast was nice. Finished with the coconut cream pie; even though I didn't want to eat more, I finished the whole thing & couldn't breathe on the way home from my gluttonous behavior. Service was excellent & very personable. Lovely night. Thank you.
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 😊

Tuck Shop feels less like a restaurant & more like being welcomed into someone's warm, modern kitchen. The whole staff radiates ease & hospitality, from the kitchen to the bar where Laurence guided us with charm & precision-she was attentive, informed, & genuinely kind.
Oysters with house-made hot sauce & a pristine scallop crudo opened the meal perfectly. Then came fried mushrooms & roasted turnips-an umami revelation dusted with nori & kissed with kombu sauce & tartness from green apple. Turning a turnip into a showstopper takes serious talent.
The poule ballotine was deeply flavored, the onglet de boeuf precise & bright with chimichurri. Desserts-a coconut cream pie & a chocolate-coriander pairing-sealed the evening with quiet brilliance.
Refined, intimate, & confident, Tuck Shop is what every neighborhood restaurant should aspire to be.
This is a magnificent Restaurant! The food was spectacular & the staff was encroyable - they were the cherry on top of the incredible cake! GO EAT AT THE TUCK SHOP! The vibe, the energy, the food, the playlist, the staff - show stopping & impressive! x
Une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle au Tuck Shop !
Dès qu'on franchit la porte du Tuck Shop, on sent qu'on entre dans un endroit spécial. L'ambiance est à la fois chaleureuse & raffinée - un équilibre parfait entre le bistro de quartier & le restaurant gastronomique. Le service est impeccable : attentionné sans jamais être envahissant, avec une équipe qui connaît vraiment ses plats & ses vins.
Côté assiette, c'est un sans-faute. Chaque plat est exécuté avec une précision incroyable, des saveurs équilibrées, des produits locaux d'une fraîcheur irréprochable. Le magret de canard est tout simplement sublime, & la carte des vins soigneusement sélectionnée met parfaitement en valeur chaque bouchée. Même les desserts sont à tomber - difficile de repartir sans goûter à tout !
Ce que j'aime le plus du Tuck Shop, c'est qu'on y ressent la passion du détail : des présentations magnifiques, un service attentionné, & une vraie âme dans la cuisine. C'est le genre de restaurant où l'on veut revenir encore & encore, que ce soit pour une occasion spéciale ou juste pour se faire plaisir.
👉 En résumé :
Un incontournable de Montréal. Si vous aimez la bonne cuisine, le service attentionné & les ambiances authentiques, le Tuck Shop est une adresse à ne pas manquer.
I would give the food a B+. Been a good number of times. Simply overpriced. About 1/3 of the dishes are great, 1/3 ok & some real misses. Nice service & comfortable space.
