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!

This is our favourite restaurant in the city. We brought my mom here while she was visiting us & had such a great time. The service is attentive without being overbearing & the staff are personable. My mom said it was the best steak she's ever had & has already asked that we come back here on her next trip to Montreal.
Très mauvaise expérience. On était six personnes & à l'unanimité on a été très déçu. Je suis une habituée des restaurants gastronomique & c'est la première fois que je vie ça. Pour le prix, la nourriture n'est pas satisfaisante. La côte de boeuf minuscule, les frites tellement salées qu'on n'a pu les manger. On voulait en commander sans sel mais ils ne sont jamais revenus nous voir après nous avoir servi. La truite ok mais sans plus. Si au moins l'expérience service avait été bien tu as un bon souvenir mais là épouvantable. Pas de bonjour, pas de sourire, vite vite on te sert & on ne revient plus. On était du 1er service alors on sait qu'on doit quitter à une certaine heure. Mais là on c'est fait carrément jeter dehors de façon cavalière. Sans désolé, sans merci…une table à 1500$. Le pire est qu'on a commandé un dernier verre de vin pour terminer la soirée, ils nous servent & nous mettent dehors, on n'a pas eu le temps de le boire, dehors, mais ils on eu le temps de le facturer 18$ le verre. Ouf on va s'en rappeler mais pas pour les bonnes raisons. On en a parlé au gérant mais honnêtement il avait l'air de s'en fouter complètement. A oublier & vite!
Great first experience at Tuck Shop - Amazing food backed by excellent service & atmosphere. Kudos to the chefs & team, will be back for the Pork Belly!
Last night I, along with several friends, had the great pleasure of dining with you. Every aspect of our experience was exemplary & we enjoyed our meals immensely.
On leaving I realised that I had left my shirt/jacket at the table. Liam returned it too me at Honey Martin later in the evening. I cannot thank him enough for his kindness.
I have worked in the service industry my entire life & know that the service we received is not as commonplace as it once was.
Once again I thank you & I look forward to joining you on future visits to Montreal.
Incroyable du début à la fin!
Les plats étaient absolument délicieux & pleins de saveurs. On sent la qualité des ingrédients & le souci du détail dans chaque bouchée. Le service était chaleureux, attentionné, & l'ambiance vraiment agréable. Une expérience wow que je recommande sans hésiter!
An experience that stays with you long after the last bite. Absolute perfection.
Behind every great experience is a great leadership team!
You can feel the love & passion the moment you walk in, it's in the energy, the rhythm, the care.
The attention to detail is everywhere: plates arriving together like a perfectly timed choreography, each one beautifully composed. You want to taste everything on the menu.
The originality, the thoughtfulness, the pairing of ingredients, the assemblage, the visual presentation, each dish feels intentional, crafted, alive. DELICIOUS!
Thank you Johny for your impeccable service, Antoine for the heart you bring to your cooking, & the entire team for creating such a memorable experience. This is an experience to be lived & relived.
