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.
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.

This is the real deal. Pork belly was wonderful with a Gouda sauce. Duck with foir gras was nuts. Nice scallop crudo. Excellent creme brulee. Wonderful service. Great manager. Worth the trip to that part of town
Food was pretty good. The sommelier was trying to upsell me on getting the more expensive wine to "impress my clients" not knowing that it was just a company meal. Kinda weird!
Wonderful reunion, delicious food & really great service! Jonathan Metcalfe is creative & attentive towards his customers. A superb evening at the Tuck Shop make me happy!
TUCK SHOP is an absolute gem! The espresso martini here is simply the best I've ever had - perfectly crafted & absolutely delicious thanks Karly! Huge thanks to the staff for being so warm & attentive, Gabriel for his fantastic sense of humor that added a special touch to the evening, & Jérémie for the gallant & gracious welcome. The team truly goes above & beyond to create an amazing dining experience. I can't wait to come back!
Un délice du début à la fin. L'endroit est superbe, la nourriture est délicieuse & exécutée à la perfection, l'ambiance est chaleureuse & le staff est incroyablement attentionné. Un gros merci à notre serveur. Nous y retournerons!

Came here for a New Year's Eve dinner - amazing service & one of the best salads I've had in my life! However the focaccia was a total miss & $95 for a piece of mid-quality filet mignon was questionable - generally left feeling that it would have been an amazing meal if it had been 20% cheaper.
They accommodated a group of us (8) & sat us in the back area past the kitchen. The service was great & it was nice to be in a quieter area where we could have good conversations. The food was so yummy! We went family style on the apps & enjoyed them all. Thank you for a great time.

I spent Friday night at Tuck Shop with my family for my birthday, & it was everything I would have hoped for. The food was excellent, & the service was seamless. I believe our server was named Luis, he was attentive, pleasant & funny. We never once waited for refills of drinks, or were without something we needed. Having worked as a server myself I absolutely appreciate good customer service, & theirs was wonderful. They seemed to work as a team which I love. Between the 5 of us we ordered all of the mains, & each one was great! The oysters were some of the best I've had, & the focaccia was delicious. Honestly one of the best birthday dinners I've had at a restaurant, maybe ever. It's not often that service & food quality both blow me away, & Tuck Shop had the perfect balance of both. Thank you to all the staff for a lovely birthday experience! We will absolutely be back when we're in town next.
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!
Great ambience & amazing service! More of a lowkey, casual fine dining place. We got the Focaccia to start & it was honestly the best I ever had. Perfectly salted, super soft on the inside, & add the perfect crisp on the outside. For the mains we split the: - Hanger Steak it was good & the fries were good, but nothing special - Duck magret the duck was cooked soo well & I liked all the complementary components of the dish - Cappelletti my husband loved this dish, but since I'm not a fan of sweeter pasta, I couldn't not taste pumpkin pie. He however, thought it was the best dish out of the 3 we tried

The evening was very good, the service was perfect & food was good. The atmosphere was amazing. The only thing I found weird was the toilets being right in front of our table, so every time someone went in or left we had a visual of a bathroom which was a bit weird, not sure why they designed the restaurant like that.
J'étais enceinte donc choix plus limités, mais dans l'ensemble j'ai bien aimé & j'y retournerai pour essayer d'autres plats. Le seul hic est que nous avions eu beaucoup de pressions à quitter la table avant le 2e service. Ça aurait été bien d'être informées au moment de la réservation ou des qu'on nous installe & non 3 minutes avant qu'on doit payer & quitter les lieux.
Beautiful inside, love the kitchen! Our waiter was great, & the staff was super friendly & attentive. For the price point, I personally didn't think it was worth it. The chicken was dry & flavourless. Nothing really stood out to me outside of the focaccia. Maybe it was just an off day- as we've heard really good things from others!
