We didn't eat, just some incredible cocktails! Fun bartender - very well done cocktails. So on trend. Nice to find a spot in Old Montréal that isn't touristy.

El Pequeno is a wonderful spot! Jackson is an amazing host & bartender, always making you feel welcome with his friendly vibe. He offers great drink recommendations & is super knowledgeable. With great music & one of the best rum selections in Montreal, it's definitely a place worth visiting!

The Cubano slaps & is a cost effective solution to wanting to drink more but not having eaten. Also good rum selection for the city, the bartender (Tristan) was very friendly, & he made a hell of an off-list jungle bird.

This review is far too late, but we were here last September. Gaspard is seriously the best bartender I've ever met. If Gaspard is still at El Pequeño, he deserves a big raise!

Great small rum bar, somewhat connected to the Cold Room. Cozy, intimate atmosphere. Best rum selection we've seen in Montreal. Great rum cocktails, & the bartender can also improvise off-menu. We had amazing chats with him about different rums & he's super knowledgeable.
