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.
Outstanding restaurant with excellent servers. Excellent wine list & cocktails. Please try & come here if you're visiting Montreal or of course live in Montreal!
The food is tasty & well presented but perhaps the portions are a bit small for a man. The focaccia is regular Italian type of bread, not worth the 10$. The 3 desserts were delicious. Should take out a table to create a bit more space along the wall, feels too crowded
Fine dining prices for decent quality. Can find dishes like this for significantly cheaper anywhere in mtl. $21 for 12 poorly cooked Brussel sprouts for example is absurd. Server was rushing us out the entire time.
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.
