Review Summary

Ibérica consistently receives praise for its beautiful, upscale interior and authentic Spanish cuisine, with many patrons highlighting the octopus, paella, and various tapas as standout dishes. While numerous guests describe their dining experiences as memorable and top-tier, featuring warm and professional service, others report significant inconsistencies. Frequent complaints center on slow or cold service, occasional errors in order accuracy, and concerns regarding portion sizes relative to price. Although the ambiance is widely appreciated, some visitors note challenges with noise levels, cramped seating, and maintenance issues in the washrooms. Ultimately, while many customers consider this a favorite destination for quality food and cocktails, the overall experience can vary depending on the specific service provided during a visit.

En soirée. Nous avons assez bien aimé ce restaurant, pour lequel nous donnons une note de 3.5 pour la nourriture & de 4 pour le service (très agréable, un peu lent par moment, notamment au moment du dessert).

Notre menu, dans l'ordre, pour deux personnes (114.98$, taxes incluses, avant pourboire). Prix normal.
1. Aceitunas de Ferran Adrià líquidas, modernas y tradicionales ? 10 (Olives liquides de Ferran Adrià, modernes & traditionnelles) -10
Olives liquides très bonnes, olives traditionnelles aussi. Si vous n'aimez pas le piment fort, précisez-le, de manière à ce que les deux olives pimentées soient remplacées par d'autres
2. Buñuelos de bacalao, aioli de azafrán (Beignets de morue & aïoli de safran)? 12
Très bien fait, goûteux.
Plats 3 & 4 servis en même temps, ce qui était parfait.
3. Pintxo de pulpo a la gallega, fondo de Yukon gold, aceite y limón?18 (Pintxo de pieuvre grillée, purée de pommes de terre Yukon Gold, huile & citron.)
Pieuvre bien cuite, tendre. Les p.d.t. pas en purée mais en mini cubes. Aurait demandé un peu plus d'huile dans l'assiette ou une petite sauce pour tremper/assaisonner la pieuvre. Nous nous sommes servis de la sauce romesco de nos pétoncles comme trempette.
4. Vieiras con romesco y aceite de perejil? 18 (Pétoncles sauce Romesco & huile de persil) Bien fait. Le plat était peut-être resté un peu trop en attente, certaines pétoncles avaient un peu refroidi. La sauce romesco manquait un peu de "vigueur" (par rapport aux romescos dont nous avions l'habitude à Barcelone, où nus avons vécu deux fois un an).
5. Dessert.
El exótico ? 14 Biscuit aux amandes, citron vert, mousse à la lime, crème aux fruits de la passion, ganache de chocolat blanc.
Partagé. Vraiment excellent, rien à redire.
Vin: Chacun un verre d'Albariño (2x14). Très bon.

Un gros défaut, pour nous: la musique, répétitive, bruyante, semble quelque chose qui tourne en boucle. Le gros beat finit par taper sur les nerfs, & rend la conversation difficile par moments. Cette musique ne semble pas du tout correspondre au public présent dans le restaurant. Cela nous a rappelé le restaurant crocodile qu'il y avait autrefois sur la rue Gatineau, qui était excellent (gigot d'agneau a volonté le mardi, si je me souviens bien) mais dont la musique trop forte gênait la clientèle & que les employés n'avaient pas le droit de baisser. Le resto a fermé.

En résumé, le restaurant est bon, certains plats pourraient facilement être améliorés. Musique boum boum à remplacer par quelque chose qui ne domine pas les voix des clients.

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.
