Stopped in for dinner on our last night in town. We were able to get a table immediately! We ordered the seafood Paella & a bottle of white wine. Our server was attentive & the food was incredibly delicious! Smokey from the chorizo & seafood was cooked nicely. We also ordered the Spanish orange cake & it was light & delicious! Perfect way to end our stay with fantastic service & a memorable meal!
Walked in without a reservation Wednesday evening. Seating outside was reasonable but lots of cars & hence exhaust. Service was prompt but menu was quite limited. Food quality was average at best. Sea Breem was very disappointing, & such a small modest meal. I had the Spanish sea food dish which was, again lacking depth & any distinct flavour. This is somewhat of a tourist, made to not look like one. 2 modest meals & one beer with tip was $123. I don't not recommend, however nothing was exemplary.
We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance. We were in the area & this place caught our eye. Everything was delicious! We ordered the bocadillo (sandwich), mimosas, Maria's Spanish potato tortilla (Manchego & chorizo), & cod croquettes. Laura was our server & the service was incredible!

There is nothing wrong with the restaurant neither with the food. The food is really good, but you can not say that is an spanish restaurant just because you think, you must have an idea about Spanish food.
There wasn't the most iconic dish (Tortilla de patata) & they oferta small potatoes cubes cover with mayo-sriracha as Patatas Bravas...
So sad.
Bueno no quiera dejar un comentario en espanol, ya que solo comenté sobre mi experiencia. Tengo 3 abuelos espanoles y he estado más de 8 veces en espana y nunca las Patatas Bravas son cubitos con siriracha mayo, son papás cocidas y fritas con sal de grano y paprika, a veces con guindillas y ajo.
La tortilla de patata, está en el menú, pero ese día no me la quisieron preparar, ya que si tenían huevos, queso y papas, pero n9 el talento para hacerlo.
Muy mal tratar de justificar lo injustificable
Delicious spot of French & Spanish fusion- we absolutely loved this restaurant. We had a variety of options from menu including the seafood chorizo Paella, duck salad, octopus, & stew. Waiter was extremely knowledgeable & friendly, & helped us choose a wonderful wine to accompany our dinner. Will come again!
Excellent Spanish inspired reataurant in Old Montreal. Attentive service. Delisciius onion soup - nice body witn crunchy crouton. Paella was amazong. Soft rice, crunchy skibk on the chicken.
What a gem. Hard to find a good Spanish restaurant in Montreal but this has passed my expectations. Plates are well balanced, properly cooked, & feature some great Catalunya choices. Very friendly staff, not a long wait for dishes. It was a wonderful birthday dinner!
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!
