Tuck Shop est largement reconnu comme une destination incontournable à Montréal, fréquemment saluée pour son menu saisonnier de haute qualité et son service attentionné.

Recently booked a table at Tuck Shop, & from start to finish, everything was spot on. From the moment we walked in the door, we were immediately taken care of.
The service was outstanding. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, & made us feel right at home. They were genuinely excited to share their knowledge about the food & drinks, which made the experience even better.
The wine list is great, & the staff really knows their stuff. We got an awesome recommendation for a bottle that paired perfectly with our meal.
As for the food - we expected it to be so, but it was incredible. We sat at the chef's counter, & it was great to watch the chefs work their magic. Each dish was fresh, full of flavour, & beautifully presented.
The menu changes every month based on what's in season, so you know everything is always fresh & well thought out.
All in all, Tuck Shop is a St. Henri & Montreal gem. Great food, excellent service, & a cool atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!
Such a great place. I can hardly explain how fantastic this restaurant is. The staff were lively & attentive. Funny & personable. Very cool. The restaurant is cozy & clean. Everything flows nicely. The food is unbelievable. The menu is short & sweet. Everything is a star. Nothing that shouldn't be there. Very well thought out & executed. Fresh grated horseradish & housemade hotsauce for the oysters is a nice detail. If you see miatake mushrooms on the menu, do yourself a favor & order them. You will thank me. Maybe some of the most delicious flavors I've ever tasted. Cod was moist & perfectly seared. Sauces were on point. Hanger steak was cooked perfect medium rare. Awesome fries with the steak. Get the desserts. Chocolate nemesis is decadent. Cheesecake had wonderful fat blueberries bursting with flavor. What a wonderful place. I will be singing its praises until I come back. & I will whenever I'm in Montréal.
I'd give 11 stars if I could. Good cocktails, not pretentious, quality fresh food, seasonal & killer vibe. Jonathan is a rockstar, anticipated our needs before we asked. Loved the service I highly recommend.

spent my birthday & tuck shop & i WISH i remembered our waitresses name. she was so attentive & took some great pictures of our party to help us commemorate the celebration. entire staff was incredibly attentive- clearing silverware & plates between courses, refilling water, attending to our every want or need. couldn't have asked for better service!! the food was DYNAMITE!! 🧨🔥 the oysters were from new brunswick & tasted so fresh, served with shredded horseradish, a lovely sweet onion sauce, lemon, cocktail & hot sauce. we tried the mushroom toast which had chanterelles, lobster mushroom & it looked like some tiny button mushrooms. perfect umami flavor! the market salad was light & refreshing. all were easily split amongst our party. i tried the chicken ballotine for my main & it was divine! it was presented beautifully as medallions- the outside skin was crispy while the inside was tender & juicy. perfectly complemented by the pomme puree, mushrooms, legumes & other vege. the other mains in our party were so good, every plate went back completely clean! i had a refreshing moscow mule & also the chocolate plum sundae for dessert. it was rich but heavenly- perfect to share so everyone can try a few bites. we will definitely be back! this place is a gem. thank you to all staff at tuck shop for making my birthday so special. cheers!
From start to finish, you're in for a beautiful dining experience at Tuck Shop. The service is personable & friendly, without being overbearing, but provided by affable hosts who know how to make you feel relaxed & welcome. The food is creative, but there are also classics that have been mastered. The zucchini blossoms are a true highlight, as is the agnolotti - but because the menu changes so often it's pointless to give recommendations on menu items! All I can say is trust the recommendations from your server & rest assured that you're in for a treat of fresh produce & beautifully cooked meats & fish, whatever you order. Merci Tuck Shop!
As always, the food is very good. However, I did find it very pricey. I know the products are local & very fresh, but TS isn't the only trendy restaurant with fresh ingredients, but they are a lot more $$$. We go out to dinner for an experience, for a night out, etc., so I don't mind spending if there is value there. What made me the most disappointed is how quickly our table was turned around. (This is where the 3* for service comes from - our server was very pleasant & knowledgeable so I don't want to take anything away from that). We had three courses served within 1h20mins max. We weren't even seated for 1.5 hrs! While I understand there is a system, when I'm spending $100+ on a meal for one person, I expect to actually be able to enjoy my meal. Our reservation was at 7pm & we literally were walking out of the restaurant by 8:15-8:20pm. I've been to TS several other times & never had this experience so I hope it was a one off, but I can't say I'll be back anytime soon because I certainly didn't get the experience or night out I was hoping for.
First, let's address the outside of the restaurant, looks a bit too sketchy for the price point, however as soon as we got through the doors, it's definitely well decorated. Second, the chef seat (seats facing the kitchen). It was really interesting to watch the cooks, however, the main focal point that we could see, he wasn't prepping our food, except the oysters, he was prepping for the shift (we arrived as they opened, 5pm). I was hoping to see more of our dishes garnished/prepped, since we went for the sampling menu. Third, the drinks, we can't comment as we don't drink alcohol & chose to just stick with water. Fourth, the food.you can tell the cooks are exquisitely skilled & masters at what they do. That being said, for 100+ per person, I must nitpick. The food was just slightly too salty. Some elements of some dishes I couldn't stomach because of the salt levels. For reference, I usually never drink water with my meals, I was chugging water between each course. The ingredients definitely are super fresh & of high quality. The sampling menu is 105$ per person. Portions were big & filling. The food is very good but not fantastic because it was too salty. Fifth, the service. The service is impeccable. The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable, & willing to help. Clean dishes after every service. Lots of water filling. Big smile. Exceptionally attentive. 10/10 The tldr, ambiance 10/10, ingredients 10/10, service 10/10, cook skills 10/10, how salty the dishes were 6/10. Seeing our dished being cooked 4/10 : only saw our oysters being shucked, would've been nice to have the chefs talk to us (not a single word was spoken by the chef). I believe your experience will be better than mine, the staff & chefs do seem to take the feedback very seriously. :)
Update April 2024, as good as ever! Wine list, service & food were 5 stars. If you want to splurge on a special occasion this is a top spot in Montreal to do so! Superb service & food. The food speaks for itself. Fresh ingredients, delishious dishes with great flavors. The service is some of the friendliest, most bilingual ive had recently. Could be a little over bearing if you dont want someone checking in on you very often, but for me it added to the night. Duck appetizer, the duck main & the roasted quail.
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.
The culinary finesse & aesthetic appeal of the dishes at Tuck Shop are flawlessly complemented by the staff's top-notch service. As regulars who often celebrate special occasions here, my wife & I are continually charmed by the experience. My go-to dish is the hanger steak served with chimichurri & accompanied by crisp fries, while my wife usually opts for the freshest catch of the day. If available, don't overlook the focaccia - it's a flavour-packed masterpiece that's nothing short of divine.
