Review Summary

Ibérica generally receives praise for its beautiful, upscale, and warm ambiance, with many patrons highlighting the restaurant as a top choice for authentic Spanish cuisine in Montreal. Dishes such as the paella, grilled octopus, calamari, and croquetas are frequently celebrated for their quality and flavor. While many guests enjoy professional and friendly service, a significant number of reviews point to inconsistent experiences, noting instances of slow, cold, or inattentive service, as well as occasional issues with food temperature, portion sizes, or communication. Although most diners consider it a memorable destination for dates and group gatherings, some mention that the seating layout can feel cramped and suggest that improvements in staff consistency and management could further elevate the overall dining experience.

I wish I would have asked for some recommendations, seems I definitely ordered wrong but in no world did I believe when I ordered a scallop tapa for 28 bucks I was getting one scallop, or beef for 30 bucks & getting four finger nail sized pieces.

It could have been an off night, & I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt, but this was the worst meal I've had in a while.

We were seated immediately, but it took about 20 minutes for our food or drink order to be taken. From there it got worse. It took an hour to get only 3 tapas plates to be served. By that point, we were no longer in the mood for more food. The croquettes & the scallops were mushy.

To keep us happy they comped us a bunch of wine, but I left feeling rather ill. Too much alcohol & very little food.

For the price, totally not worth it.

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.

One of my favourite restaurants!! I love this place! The food is amazing & the service is wonderful! The team is so nice & takes the time to advice you & go through the menu! My recommendation when going there: share tapas (calamari are amazing, tomato salad, charcuterie & patata bravas) then share a paella ( all of them are amazing, my number one is sea food paella!). It is perfect for a date night & for a group!

We had a wonderful experience at Iberica. The interior is absolutely beautiful - very Barcelona-inspired, stylish & vibrant, with so much character. The style of music & the volume were perfect, & the overall noise level in the restaurant was just right. We were lucky to be served by Jeffrey. He was attentive, professional, & made the evening flow effortlessly. We tried different tapas. They were all very tasty. Portions were perfect for sharing. We appreciated the offer to serve 4 croquets instead of regular portion of 3, so it made it easier for us to share. The whole evening was full of this kind of small gestures that made a big difference for the whole experience. For example, the plates & cutlery were changed for each dish - such a thoughtful touch that elevates the whole dining experience. One small suggestion: it would be lovely to see a wider selection of wines available by the glass.

Exceptional experience. Worth the cost. Beautiful plating of the food. Very good croquetas, paella was properly seasoned & flavourful & everything was perfectly cooked notably the shrimps (shrimps were jumbo size) , calamari, tenderloin, octopus, all of of it. All the tapas that we tried, & we tried about 7 or 8 tapas were quite good I would get them all again

They were very busy however were able to accomodate well & were very professional & accomodating.

The churros was really good & as well as the accompanied dulce de leche sauce was one of the best dulce de leche I have ever had.

The cocktails were good too! As well as the chardonnay that we had

We were there for a birthday, great experious overall ! Thank you
