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 ❤?
Alex & Jo & Jamilly were next level service. Promote them to managers. Seriously though, they handled our large group with ease. Thanks again.
La nourriture & le service sont impersonnelles. Fruits de mer & riz vraiment trop cuit dans la paella, & crevette géante dure & caoutchouteuse dans le surf & turf, (on dirait que tout est préparé EXTRÊMEMENT longtemps d'avance & que les assiettes continuent de cuir sous le passe-plat) & la serveuse avait juste l'air d'avoir hâte qu'on parte d'après son non-verbal & son attitude, bref 400$ (repas pour 2) de jeter au poubelle
good atmospher, beautiful design.
but the wc sadly don t reflect the outside.
the food was good tho.
We've recently been to Barcelona, & many of dishes were as good or better than those we had in Spain! So delicious! Great atmosphere. Helpful & friendly staff... great location (2 minutes from the metro). Spanish wines & beers available with staff advice for inquiries... a repeat visit, for sure!!
Great service , food & ambiance. Our server Leila was very thoughtful & gave us a great experience at Iberica
Good atmosphere, great looking place... However, food was disappointing :(
Ordered the $125, 4-course menu... The paella was almost slimy & lukewarm when we got it :/
Lobster bisque was wayyyy too salty
In general just did not taste good - Not worth the money unfortunately.
I hosted a client here & the experience was excellent. The food was authentic & very tasty with the Paella being the highlight. The starters were also quite good & as authentically spanish as you can get in North America. In addition the service was professional. Overall 5/5, I wouldn't hesitate to come back for business or pleasure.
If you have celiac or any kind of allergy I would stay away from this place. The waiter argued with me at length that gluten'evaporates' the fryer (when this is not the case at all), then the waiters all brought the food quickly clearly premade no mention of allergy vs not. Then I flagged the waiter for something to ask a question & then proceeded to tell me'don't eat that actually it has gluten'…after I had eaten the dish. For someone with allergies this is extremely concerning. They offered alcohol to compensate but I don't drink. The food was good but the atmosphere felt quite touristy & service subpar.
