Absolute tourist trap. It's a shame because the space is lovely & the servers were very nice but there's just no possible way of justifying these prices. $40 for a few hunks of pork, sauce, a couple mushy lukewarm vegetables & a handful of reheated home fries. There was a bunch of dirt on one of the potatoes & I got a big mouthful of sand & grit. It's not like all the food was terrible but none of it was impressive. We paid $300 for one app, three mains & a couple drinks. It's a price I'm more than willing to pay for dinner if it's really well executed. It's also food (not counting the potato dirt) I'd be happy to eat for half the price. Unfortunately the quality just doesn't measure up to the bill.
Everything was a delight. Delicious regional food that reminded us of our vacation. I can't wait to go back. A bit pricey but well worth your experience
Food was delicious but service was terrible. Food took long & plates were too hot I almost burned my hands. Looked like the supervisor of the servers was mad at the server serving our table, but he was right: she was slow & inattentive & almost forgot we were one of her tables. I had to ask for the bread service & while other tables got it without asking, ours didn't even come with butte
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!
Super attentive to your needs. Very friendly & accommodating staff. Best dining experience in Montreal. The paella was super. The dessert was unforgettable.
C'est un bijou à Montréal qui gagne à être connu davantage! Mon copain vient du Sud-Ouest de la France & on y a été transportés le temps d'un repas des plus délicieux que nous avons mangé ici. Les produits sont d'une très grande qualité, les plats & les cocktails sont préparés avec finesse, l'ambiance est feutrée & calme (ce qui est grandement apprécié quand on aime pas les endroits où il faut crier pour avoir une conversation avec la personne devant soi) & le service était vraiment impeccable. Les toilettes aussi sont les plus propres que j'ai vues dans un restaurant dans ma vie, & j'ai beaucoup apprécié le fait que des tampons, des serviettes sanitaires, des cotton-tiges & des mouchoirs étaient mis à disposition des clients gratuitement dans la salle de bain. Je recommande fortement ce restaurant!
