Les Pyrenées offers a cozy, atmospheric spot in Old Montreal where Spanish and Catalan flavors come to life in a varied menu that includes seafood paella, tapas, vegetarian options, and generous portions paired with a thoughtful wine list. Reviewers consistently note warm hospitality and attentive, knowledgeable staff, with the vibe described as intimate yet lively and outdoor dining on nice nights is a plus. Many highlight dishes such as scallops, octopus, gazpacho, lamb, and especially paella, along with desserts and sauces that elevate the meal. While praised for quality and character, some visits feel expensive for the value and a few experiences mention slow service, order mixups, or meals arriving cold or underseasoned. Vegetarian and vegan options are a strength, with several diners appreciating the consideration for different diets. Reservations are recommended, especially during holidays or weekends, given the busy Old Port location. Overall, Les Pyrenées is seen as a strong French-Spanish fusion option in Montreal, delivering memorable meals and hospitality, even as consistency can vary between visits.

Everything was great here! I had the pork cheek & it was delicious! We had a large crew & our server Justin was the best we had while we were in Montreal! He & the other staff were very accommodating & made this an unforgettable place for us! I would highly recommend going here!
Absolutely loved our dinner at Pyrénées in Old Montreal! The atmosphere is charming & cozy, perfectly matching the historic vibe of the area. I was especially impressed with the strawberry & goat cheese salad-so fresh & full of flavor. The scallops were perfectly cooked & simply delicious. Service was outstanding-friendly, attentive, & made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great Spanish dining experience in the heart of the old town!
We had dinner here since it was walkable from our hotel. The food & service were both great. We started with the crusted goat cheese & strawberry salad which was very good & unique! For dinner we got the paella & it was very good/fresh/flavorful. Highly recommend!

A Culinary Symphony at "Pyrenees market cuisine" Nestled in the heart of old Montreal, Pyrenees beckons with promises of culinary bliss & an ambiance that dances between modern chic & timeless elegance. Upon stepping inside, one is enveloped in an atmosphere that whispers of refinement & invites you to savor every moment. The star of the show? The chef's masterpiece: the "Cassoulet à la Toulousaine, canard confit, saucisse, agneau & jarret de porc". From the first bite, it's evident that each element of this dish has been meticulously crafted to perfection. The lamb, delicately seared to golden perfection, boast a tender texture that practically melts in your mouth, while the sausage provides a decadent contrast of earthy flavors that dance harmoniously on the palate. But it's not just the food that delights the senses; it's the entire experience. The attentive waitstaff move with grace, ensuring that every need is met without intruding on the diners' enjoyment. The soft lighting & tasteful decor create an ambiance that is both intimate & inviting, making it the perfect setting for an unforgettable dining experience. In summary, Pyrenees market cuisine is a culinary oasis where every dish is a work of art & every moment is savored. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking an escape from the mundane, this establishment promises a symphony of flavors that will leave you craving an encore. My wife & I are newcomers to this place, but we're pleasantly surprised when we meet another couple who highly recommended it. Coincidentally, they've visited multiple times with different groups, & the place has never failed to impress.
What a wonderful restaurant this is. We had the pleasure of trying all kind of delicious food, from seafood to meats, everything was so good. & our server Kevin was the cherry on the Sunday. Highly recommend
Many Spanish restaurants in Montreal try to get the paella right but miss in one way or another. I lived in Spain & have traveled the country. I can tell you with great certainty Pyrénées got it right! Loved my dish & the service was excellent! Highly recommend.

I visited Old Montreal for (5) five days & Les Pyrenees was by far the absolute "best restaurant", of (6) six that I visited while on vacation! They were very friendly & courteous. I had the privilege of having the owners son wait on our table. He was very friendly & a pleasure to converse with, & made us feel like we were at home. They served absolutely the best Paella I have ever eaten, & the seafood was fresh with the rice & Chorizo seasoned like real authentic Spanish & French style cooking is known for. To cap off my meal, I had Crème Bruellee for dessert which was unbelievably awesome! I highly recommend this restaurant! You will not be disappointed!
