Staff was very welcoming & the service was detailed & personalized. Our waitress Sophie gave us great tapas recommendations & added a lively energy to the restaurant's atmosphere with her bubbly personality. We will most definitely come back
Excellent food. had the seafood paella. Despite being a bit understaffed, the service was great, especially considering the high number of walk-ins. Will definitely go back.
Great spot for delicious Spanish food right in Montreal.
The service was top-notch, & Manuel, the manager, really went out of his way to make us feel at home.
Super friendly vibe - we'll definitely be back!
très agréable endroit pour des tapas avant un spectacle, on sent une belle touche espagnole !!!le service est courtois & chaleureux le petit mot du gérant à la fin du repas a été très apprécié : nous recommandons ce restaurant sans hésitation 😉😊🤗👌
Their paella was sadly very dry & burnt we asked for it to be changed because it is usually very flavorful. Nothing was changed & we left disappointed.
Cannot recommend this restaurant more. Server was great, & even one of the managers Shahan came over to make sure everything was good. He smelled really really good too. We shared the gambas, & each had an order of the contre-filet de boeuf. Extraordinary. Usually I hate ordering steak from restaurants, but it was cooked perfectly, super tender & flavourful & smelled amazing when it got to the table, just like Shahan. Food 10/10, service 10/10, Shahan's cologne 12/10.
