I had a fantastic time! I am not an easy critic. Amazing team. From the manager to the server, to the bartender everyone was so kind & everyone was smiling. I had another dinner planned for the next night & we had not yet decided on a location, I loved it so much we went back the very next day. Food was amazing so tasty ambiance was great! Location is charming. Not one negative thing to say! Thank you Melia

Atmosphère top du top👌👌👌👌
Je suis allé avec ma copine pour fêter son anniversaire, les gens qui travaillent dans le restaurant nous ont donné un service merveilleux, la bouffe était extraordinaire.
We had an exceptional time at Tzatzi-qui sitting at the bar for dinner. Jimmy, the bartender, was so hospitable, chatting with us while mixing drinks & clearing tables without ever feeling rushed. Jade also did a great job taking care of our meal & making sure we had everything we needed. The food/atomosphere were so cozy & exactly what we needed for a chilly night.
Highly recommend!
Love love love! This is a wonderful restaurant with amazing food, ambiance, & hospitality. We just had a wonderful evening. A special thank you to Jade, our waitress, who was exceptional. We can't wait to come back.
Nice dinner spot with great food! Loved everything here; don't miss it if you're visiting Montreal! Thanks, Jade, for the wonderful service & recommendations.
Repas du midi pour 4 personnes, accueil par Jimmy très sympathique, il nous a très bien conseillé. Nous nous sommes régalés, très belle présentation, plein de saveur & très copieux.
Je recommande. L'équipe était très bien. De la part de'Clamart'
So I normally never write a bad review like this, as you can see I only love to promote great stuff. But for some reason everything about the food here was really lack lustered.
We ordered the dips, all 5 of them & those were really good, about the only thing besides the great service that saves them. We also got the octopus salad, if you can even call in that. In pictures is shows 2 large tenticles. What we got was the tip end of one tenticles that you can see here in the picture no bigger then my pinky. Some small cut up pieces in there but really small. That & the dressing was not a dressing at all just a olive oil soup. Was desapointing because I love octopus & even that was tough.
We also ordered the donner mix plate which was dry but pitched as juicy. & we got maybe 1 cup worth of meat with alot of rice underneath. For 33 dollars would have been nice to get a little more substance.
Same with the filet mignon. Dry, over cooked to almost medium well when my wife asked for medium rare. & the smallest portion ever for 35 bucks. The fries were really good tho. It sucks because it feels like a traditional tourist trap in old Montreal.
If not for the atmosphere & the service might have gone lower on the review. Tbh for 150 dollars with tax & tip it feels like a bit of a rip off which is why I am leaving the review. Again the atmosphere is great & cute & servers are awesome. If the food was just as good I'd come back, but I don't go to restaurants for the atmosphere & services. You go back to them for that but the food is like 4/10 to be generous. When I like the dips more then the meal, that's kinda a issue
