Club Espagnol de Québec is praised for delicious food, especially tapas and paella, with sangria and a casual, festive atmosphere that many find welcoming. The service is described as friendly and accommodating, with staff able to speak French or Spanish and generous, homemade dishes. The reviews highlight lively entertainment such as flamenco and tango, and a pleasant outdoor terrace in summer. Some dishes are noted as less successful, such as breaded chicken that was very dry and hard to chew, and paella that can be somewhat lackluster or dry, while water and napkins sometimes require asking. Overall, diners repeatedly describe the experience as enjoyable and worth returning for more tapas, paella, and the vibrant ambiance at Club Espagnol de Québec.
Made a reservation last week that was basically pointless because the staff obviously doesn't prepare.. we got there, watched them realize in live time that they didn't bother to check reservations, then we were shoved onto a plastic table on the stage & forgotten about for the most part. Bad service - served 2 rounds of a set menu with cold food that got colder because we had to wait for someone to remember us so we could get some plates & cutlery, then when we did finally eat the sardines were bitter because they were not cleaned properly; a salad for 7 with literally 2 pieces of lettuce & a slice of cucumber, & a entire gardens worth of tomatoes(!?), never given water & then for dessert some scrambled egg crema catalan …. A really pathetic & sad experience for Mother's Day. Sorry for the brutal honesty but …do better.
The food here is amazing. I definitely recommend getting a bunch of tapas & trying different things out with a glass of sangria! The paella here is also one of the best in MTL
La nourriture dans ce restaurant est délicieuse & vaut vraiment la peine d'essayer tout du menu. Le dimanche aussi avec la cuisine argentine est incroyable.
We had a wonderful meal. The atmosphere is very casual & relaxed. The service was very friendly. Tried the special of the day :Argentinian steak & also a Valencian fideua. Both were very good. The crepes with dulce de leche were delicious. We will return again when they have the tango & flamenco entertainment as well as the outdoor terrace in the summer.
Muchas gracias !
Nous avons suivi une formation d'espagnol avec une école de langues privée & pendant quatre jours, nous sommes allés manger à cet endroit. les serveurs étaient très professionnels & gentils. Ils pouvaient soit parler français ou en espagnol, & étaient très accommodants au niveau des problèmes ou des particularités alimentaires de certaines personnes, tous les plats étaient excellents à l'exception du poulet pané qui était très sec & dur à mastiquer. Quant au saumon grillé, c'était le meilleur saumon que j'ai jamais mangé. Il y avait une belle ambiance & nous sommes allés également passer la soirée le vendredi soir & manger des tapas. Il y avait une très belle ambiance, les gens jamaient sur la scène & dansait un peu le flamenco. la salle était pleine de gens, c'était familial & festif. Je recommande à tous.

Nous sommes venus au Club Espagnol du Québec pour retrouver les saveurs de l'Espagne &... nous avons été agréablement surpris !!
Côté restauration, tout était excellent, généreux, un voyage culinaire chaque jour. Merci beaucoup !
& côté spectacle, on a eu la chance d'assister à una Juerga. Un pur bonheur.
Vivant en Espagne, de passage à Montréal, on avait vraiment l'impression d'être à la maison !
Un énorme merci pour l'accueil, on reviendra !!!
Belle ambiance festive & bonne musique
. La paella manquait de goût & était un peu sèche. Service correct, mais on devait toujours demander de l'eau ou des serviettes. Il n'y avait plus de moutarde, & les pichets semblaient un peu vieux
L'ambiance ici est vraiment impeccable. Les portions sont généreuses, la nourriture est excellente & les cocktails sont top. Honnêtement, je pense que certaines personnes essaient de gatekeep l'endroit. C'est probablement la seule raison pour laquelle la moyenne est à 4 étoiles

Nice simple terrace where we had some very good paellas including fresh mussels, clams, squid & shrimps. The tapas were mostly very good. Our only complaint was that the Tortilla Espanol wasn't hot....but it was tasty. The rolls were hot & good, the flan was creamy & not too sweet, & the Sangria was excellent. The servers were pleasant & attentive. This was our second visit, & we will definitely be back!
A hidden resto/club where different types of events take place.
We ordered different types of tapas. The service was fast. Around 9pm, a Flamenco style music started, people gathered around to dance.

Authentic Spanish flavors done right! The seafood paella is rich & vibrant, & the tapas-tender octopus, crispy crab croquettes , & bold patatas bravas-are a hit. Great food, warm atmosphere. A must-try in Montreal!
Outstanding food, great service & honest prices. I had the paella Valenciana, which was absolutely unreal. Very laid back & authentic ambiance. Also, the freshly baked bread was delicious.
The food & cocktail were inedible. The garlic mushrooms tasted as it was cooked days ago & the warmed in the microwave. My friend asked for a Margarita, which was awful & the waiter was angry because she returned it, he didn't asked why neither offered another drink. The place is overpriced for the food & service they provide. I won't come back
