Overall, the restaurant remains a popular choice for both special occasions and casual dining, often noted for its beautiful terrace and the genuine hospitality provided by the staff and management.
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!

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!
First, I thought this was a Spanish restaurant & asked for croquetas then I was told they didn't have them.
I said, but this is a Spanish restaurant, I was then told, no this is a restaurant from Catalu?a, hmm well in the region of Catalu?a there are no tapas but pinchos, but no croquetas uhm weird.
Anyway, I ordered an arroz catalan, yes a starter but ordered a larger plate.
When it arrived mine & my wife's were not warmed enough.
I asked to be warmed up. My wife preferred not.
When it was brought back, then it was much better.
Also, it was advertised that they sell creme Brule, if the place sells plates from Catalu?a then, they should have had crema catalana.
I also asked if they had tinto de Verano, a popular Spanish drink, & then was pointed to the sangria menu & not what I had asked.
Service ok but not satisfied.
We went to Pyrenees just by searching on google for a Spanish restaurant. I ordered 12-hour braised lamb that night. I can tell you it that it was one of the best lamb meals I had ever had. So, we went back next time for lunch. This time I ordered lamb shank from lunch menu. Again, it was amazing. Lunch menu was more affordable. For lunch, soup or salad, & coffee were included. I chose soup & coffee. My friend tried salad & coffee. They bring French buggets & some sauce at the beginning. In general, I totally recommend it.
I had the pleasure of dining at Les Pyrénées for the first time with my family, & it was a wonderful experience! This is a reservation-based restaurant, but we arrived without one. Luckily, we came early, & I'm so glad we did because the place filled up quickly & was packed by the time we finished. It's clear this is a popular spot, & for good reason. The restaurant is perfect for large groups, with a warm & inviting ambiance that combines rustic Spanish charm with modern touches. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. The staff was welcoming, attentive, & ensured our dining experience was seamless. For appetizers, we were treated to freshly baked bread served with a creamy garlic spread that set the tone for the meal. Every bite was a delight. My family was thrilled with their dinner choices, & everyone left satisfied. I ordered from the dinner specials menu & had the Seared Salmon. The filet was cooked to perfection & served with a vibrant salsa of avocado, radishes, capers, & tomatoes. The flavors were fresh, balanced, & absolutely delicious. For dessert, I indulged in the Flan Caramel, a French-style custard with subtle star anise aromas. It was smooth, rich, & the perfect way to end the meal. All in all, tonight's dinner was a success. The food, service, & ambiance exceeded our expectations, & we were all pleased with our orders. Les Pyrénées is a gem, & we'll definitely be back-this time with a reservation!
