Les Pyrenées presents a focused culinary approach centered on fresh seafood and traditional French preparations. The kitchen emphasizes the quality of raw ingredients through a selection of signature tartare dishes crafted with precision and seasonal components.

The dining room maintains a functional and streamlined layout that prioritizes the interaction between the guest and the presented meal. This establishment operates with a dedication to consistent output, ensuring that every serving adheres to established standards of preparation.

Les Pyrenées is widely celebrated as a charming destination in Old Montreal that offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere and high-quality French and Catalan-inspired cuisine, with many diners highlighting the beef cheeks, paella, and onion soup as standout dishes. While the majority of visitors praise the attentive, professional service and the restaurant's ability to accommodate dietary needs like gluten-free or vegetarian options, a minority of guests have reported inconsistent experiences regarding service speed during peak hours and varying opinions on the authenticity and preparation of certain traditional plates. 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.
Kaffee und Mineralwasser, dazu eine Früchteplatte bestellt. Früchteplatte kam nach einigen Minuten, leider mit einigen nicht mehr geniessbaren Himbeeren darunter.
Kaffee und Mineralwasser gingen dem Personal unter und dann wurde das Wasser falsch serviert. (Grosse Flasche statt klein, immerhin dann nicht verrechnet).
Servicepersonal wirkte etwas fehl im Job, kann aber auch am etwas grösseren Gösteandrang gelegen haben - ca. 15 Uhr am Samstag bei schönem Wetter.
Ambiente nicht schlecht, einige Meter weg vom ganz grossen Strom, man kann gut in der Strasse sitzen.
Wir werden leider nicht mehr kommen, da gibt es vermutlich einige bessere Lokale im selben Viertel.
Absolutely disgusting & heartless behavior. My 5-month-old baby was crying from hunger, & my husband politely asked for something as simple as a small piece of banana or mashed potatoes. We were not asking for free food - we offered to pay & even said we would buy a full meal.
They looked at a hungry crying baby & still refused to help just because we were sitting at another restaurant nearby. As a mother, watching people ignore a crying infant with zero compassion was infuriating & heartbreaking. It costs nothing to show basic humanity, but clearly that was too much to ask from them. We will never forget how cold & uncaring they were in that moment.
MONEY IS IMPORTANT BUT 5 month old baby need food & father asking & offering money as well & still didnt get due to they were setting on otger restaurant
Thats totally unacceptable & unhumanly behaviou
Very disappointing experience. Our 5-month-old baby was crying from hunger, & even after seeing the baby upset, they refused to help. I politely asked for a small piece of banana or some mashed potatoes & even offered to pay or buy a full meal.
Instead of showing a little kindness & compassion, they said no because we were sitting at another restaurant nearby. As parents, this was very heartbreaking & unexpected.

Birthday dinner. Hard to get reservation, thanks to the concierge at the Embassy Suites for snagging us a rez.
Little bit of a rocky start on a very busy Saturday night. But the staff was attentive & made it right - all went well from there.
The tomato bread appetizer was delicious, a French Canadian bruschetta dish! Also tasty was the tomato dip & bread that came while we were waiting to get our table sorted.
Cod croquettes next. Very nicely done with a nice aioli'sauce' dressing.
The Paella with seafood & chorizo was a nice portion to split & very tasty, the rice done perfectly. & the little lemon water cleansing bowls were so amazing for the fingers!
Finished with a creme brulee' that was also delicious. Very crisped sugar topping for sure!
To really make things special, the owner made several visits to our table. Definitely knows how to treat his clientele, must send a shout out to him.
He went out of his way to really make us feel special. Amazing guy.
The restaurant is a really cute vibe but unfortunately we were there as a large group (15 guests) & I don't think they were quite prepared for that. Food was delicious but it took us over an hour to get our bills & the service was very slow to get drinks & food.
Would try it again as a smaller group for sure!
