Review Summary

At Ibérica, the overall vibe is stylish and the ambiance is frequently praised, with many pointing to a menu of tapas, paella, octopus, croquetas and sangria that can be outstanding and food that is generally flavorful, while the service is described as professional and attentive on good nights and inconsistent or slow on others. Guests enjoy thoughtful touches that aid sharing and the quality of ingredients, but some reviews mention high prices for modest portions, dishes that are too salty or lukewarm, and a few missteps such as jamon iberico not aligning with expectations. The interior and presentation are often highlighted as impressive, though seating can feel compact and the noise level varies. Overall, Ibérica can offer memorable experiences and high quality dishes when service is smooth and the kitchen delivers consistently, while experiences can suffer if the staff is not on point or portions fall short for the price.

Excellent decors, Excellent service & Excellent tapas (especially the croquettas). The black paella is amazing with pretty generous portion (albeit could use a bit more seafood).The ribeye steak is a bit underwhelming & small for the price.

We had a brilliant time at Iberica yesterday; really enjoyed the atmosphere there, & the service was excellent too. My bf isn't usually a big fan of seafood, but he absolutely loved the food there!

I went alone & ordered just one paella & one cocktail. I overheard other guests chatting, & it sounds like the rest of the menu is amazing too.

I ordered Paella de la Montagne - the paella had a beautiful smoky, fire-grilled aroma. The steak was tender & juicy, & the smoky sausage didn't overpower the natural sweetness of the seafood. Every bite was smooth, delicate, & perfectly balanced. The server even swapped the regular white rice for black rice coated in squid ink for me-such a win!!!

For drinks, I had the Canarias cocktail. Sweet but not cloying-perfect for an Asian palate. I told the server I prefer sweetness over acidity, & he instantly got it. He customized a more fruity version of the Canarias just for me 🍹

The portion was very generous. For a woman with an average appetite, I was full after finishing just half-& happily packed the rest to enjoy at home.

Montreal has officially added another restaurant I'll be dreaming about ❤?

Ate here for NYE dinner. Got food poisoning from what was likely seafood paella clams. Also got locked in the bathroom similar to review above. Feel sick today.

Overpriced & the food didn't taste good at all. We were given the new year's eve menu. The crab soup smells nice but tastes bitter, & i did not like it, but the waiter offered to switch to another course for us very nicely. The seafood paella is mid, not seasoned well & u would not like it if u like strong flavor. Would not recommend going. Also got locked inside the restroom lol.

For starters, we have dined here for the New Year's, where there was a special seafood based 4 course 125$ menu (it was the only thing we could order)

The food was pretty mediocre, nothing special. Some dishes we're sgnificantly too salty but overall better than nothing. Definitely not worth the price, but it was edible enough. We also left hungry, but that's to be expected in a high end restaurant.

The service was slow, we waited for about an hour after our appetizers for our main (we were one of the first customers & the restaurant wasnt that busy), so quite annoying, but in an acceptable range (The entire meal was more than 2h & we are fast eaters). The server was nice & I have had my water refilled more than anywhere I have been.

The atmosphere however was quite good, the restaurant was incredibly beautiful.

Personally I believe that food is the most important part of a restaurant, which is why I wouldn't recommend this to anyone else.

The food was good. The pork was excellent, seafood was well prepared, presentation was also great. Veggies were a bit underdone & lacking flavour.

However, the waiter was obnoxious & condescending. Almost gave a loud sigh when we decided to order our food individually & not let him fill the table with his liking. He never inquired that maybe some people had allergies & others were already aiming to get a specific dish. Even before all our guests have arrived, he refused to answer quick questions because he argued he would have to repeat to someone else after. In fact, we all talked about the fact that almost every time we ordered something or asked a question, he would react in a pretentiously snob fashion. One of our friends had already eaten before but joined our party anyway & only wanted to order an appetizer; & the waiter made him feel guilty for "only" ordering this. Looking at him straight & asking him twice "That's it?" & "You're not hungry or what?" without warmth. It felt as though the only thing on his mind was fishing for his tip.

Based on the experience, although the food was good, we will not go back there & will not recommend this restaurant to anyone. The rudeness of the service affected our appreciation for the food & overall experience.
