Service irréprochable même en temps de grand achalandage tel qu'un samedi soir d'été. Servi par le propriétaire (ou un membre du management) qui avait un souci de rendre notre expérience culinaire mémorable - nous avons adoré la sangria à la mangue & la dorade à partager!!! On y retournera certainement!View more
The pluses: the service was good, the restaurant had nice decor, the croquettes were delicious, the location was central in Old Montreal. The minuses: the paella was way too salty, the charcuterie platter was overpriced for the amount of food, the inside chairs were uncomfortable to lean back in.View more
Unexpected beautiful terrace & well designed inside out. having great time with freshly & tasty food. Seafood cooked perfectly, every was delightful. Paella was less interesting:to salty dry rice over cooked. Small bites of Seafood were so good! our favorite of that plate Simple menu allowed to be the best. great place to eat tapas. Definitely I recommend & will be back.View more

This was the best restaurant we ate at during our weekend Montreal. Everything we ordered was delicious.View more
We came for a later meal at 9, & despite that their website says they close at 12, & we asked to pace our dishes as per traditional tapas they rushed & dumped all the plates of food onto our table. There were very few clients there, but we later noticed that the predominantly male staff were flirting with 2 girls inside at the bar instead of tending to their other clients. The food was otherwise relatively tasty although they ran out of multiple ingredients & gave us lesser substitutions at the same price. The most shocking however was paying 36$ for 6 very thin pieces of cheese & a smear of goat cheese with 4 tiny drops of fig spread... that was clearly a total rip off given we've eaten at multiple spanish tapas restaurants in the city as well as even knowing prices of very well filled cheese plates offered in the old port. Spare yourself & go somewhere else.View more
Ambiance à terrasse avec vue sur la promenade du fleuve cependant le plat Poulpe était bien trop salé 🥵 Nous avons eu quand même un geste commercial de la part de la serveuse qui était super gentille. Merci GaelleView more
The place is nice with great vibes, but the food honestly is very average. They serve the food with a lot of olive oil which alter the taste of the food. The shrimp comes with their shell which is a headache for the customer to take off. The sangria is very good, it's the only thing I loved about the place beside the ambiance. It's also over price for what it is, 80$ for a full pichet 🙄🙄 the oyster come with a icy grapefruit topping , not a vinegar & onion based sauce.. it's taste straight out the ocean lol 🫤View more

AMAZING!! If you're considering coming, do it!! We had the Boqueria sangria which was delicious & the shrimp with an olive oil garlic sauce was the most amazing thing! Also the salmon ceviche, the octopus & the asparagus were all phenomenal. Our waiter Milton was great & the ambience inside & out on the patio is amazing. Highly recommend!!View more
Omg. This was the best food experience we have had since Spain. Everything was exceptional. Absolutely delicious. The Gambas al ajillo was the most delicious shrimp dish, the salmon ceviche was incredible & the pulpo (octopus) was tender, succlent & perfectly grilled. I cannot say enough good things about this place, but you have to go. Milton was our server & he was perfection.View more
The pulpo was delicious, I got the half serving & it was a lot more than i expected (which was a good thing). It was just two of us & with 2 tapas, the half pulpo & the hen it was probably too much food, but it was so good we still ate it all!! Very tasty. Would recommend.View more
