Reviews describe Cuba Paisa as a lively, welcoming spot with a warm ambiance and frequent live music that enhances the celebratory vibe. The food earns praise for bold flavors and generous portions, with standouts like bandeja paisa, grilled chicken, ropa vieja, empanadas, and chorizo, and many diners note that portions are so ample that sharing is common. Service is repeatedly described as friendly and efficient, contributing to a positive dining experience. Several comments mention renovations and a bright, inviting atmosphere on weekends. Some criticisms appear, including that the space is a bit tight, dishes can vary in quality, and a few items such as tamal or croquetas may not meet expectations, with others feeling the Cuban representation could be stronger. Overall, Cuba Paisa is seen as a memorable Montreal stop for good food, large portions, and a festive Latin vibe, ideal for birthdays and gatherings, though visitors should expect a busy, lively environment and align expectations with menu highlights.

Plenty of street parking, note of advice there are steps going up to the restaurant.

I would say the food is more Columbian 90%, than Cuban 10%. Don't let that stop you from coming. The food is bussin! Portion sizes are enormous! Come hungry leave stuffed!

The apps are sorta lacking…
Cuban Tamal - maybe 3 pieces of chorizo, but the corn meal was flavorful!
Columbian Empanada- skip that tbh, there mini bites & there's no meat in it, it's odd & they have the salsa verde that pairs with it.

The Bandeja Paisa was slammin! Generous amounts of meat! Rice, tostone, maduro, a salad , chorizo, egg, steal, pork belly omg & the beans- phenomenal, melt in your mouth beans jeez!!! No avocado is provided.

Wife got the chicken platter she loved it & was stuffed!

Deliciosa sazón, los valores pueden parecer elevados pero las porciones son muy muy generosas, la bandeja paisa tiene un valor de $33 CAD pero fácilmente pueden comer dos personas. También probamos el churrasco $38 CAD también muy rico y también incluía porciones de frijoles.

Pretty solid, the empanadas didn't have any protein in them which I thought was kind of weird. The bandeja paisa was very good, the meat was a bit chewy but overall good portion size & quality!
