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.
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.
Food was overpriced & fairly bland (not what you would expect from a Catalan fusion restaurant). My spouse got a cocktail which he said barely had any alcohol in it.
Our servers were also extremely pushy in trying to upsell us at various points throughout the meal.

Food was ok. Nothing special. Pasta of the day was spaghetti in creme sauce with shrimps Calamari & mussels was ok.
Vegetarian sandwich was nothing to erite home about.
Came here for the first time in 2018 & retraced our steps during our current visit in 2025. It was just as good as we remember. We loved the soup of the day (carrot soup) the mushroom risotto appetizer & the salmon was so good. Can't wait to come back again.
What a wonderful culinary experience the service was excellent our waitress Alex was so attentive & helpful.
We had exquisite gaspacho, paella 🥘 catalana, orange 🍊 cake with chocolate & a sangria pitcher. Everything was perfect!

Nous avons adoré notre repas au restaurant Pyrénées ! Cela fait 8 ans que je vis à Montréal, & Pyrénées a sans aucun doute était l'une de mes meilleures expériences, tout restaurant confondu.
J'aimerais particulièrement souligner les points suivants ;
- Niveau ambiance : enfin un restaurant où la musique n'est pas trop forte ! Les choix de musique permettent de créer une atmosphère chaleureuse & intime, afin d'échanger facilement entre nous.
- Niveau repas : nous avons chacun pris un repas & un dessert, & tout était délicieux ! Les portions étaient bonnes également ; nous sommes sortis en étant rassasiés. La carte est variée, & proposent aussi plusieurs choix végétariens & vegans. Ces derniers étaient excellents, ce qui est rare pour un restaurant dont ce n'est pas la spécialité ! Un grand merci d'accorder autant d'importance aux différents régimes alimentaires, c'est vraiment très apprécié :)
- Niveau boisson : nous avons suivi la recommandation du serveur. Nos mocktails étaient généreux & délicieux (ce qui est rare, il faut souvent choisir l'un ou l'autre…) !
- Niveau service : Kévin & ses collègues ont été exceptionnels ; le service était rapide, sympathique, arrangeant, de bon conseil, bref ; parfait !
- Niveau prix (à l'été 2025) : pour un restaurant du Vieux-Port, en période touristique, le rapport qualité-prix était très bon. Les mocktails étaient en dessous de 10$, les plats entre 20 & 30$, & les desserts autour de 15$. Ce n'est pas donné, mais tout à fait acceptable quand on considère la qualité & ce qui se fait ailleurs !
- Bonus : le pain & la petite sauce qui l'accompagne sont à volonté ! Une attention rare & très appréciée :)
En résumé, notre expérience à Pyrénées a été un sans faute sur tous les plans, ce qui est rare & mérite d'être souligné ! Nous y retournerons sans hésiter & je recommanderai ce restaurant les yeux fermés à mon entourage ! :)
Outstanding food & service. Outdoor seating on a summer night was lovely. Aurora greeted us & was our main server helped by the very compatible team. We felt like we were at a Michelin star restaurant since every detail was attended to with the highest professional standard.

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!
Not impressed at all... No table cloth making the table sticking & giving the impression of not clean; no air conditioning but well ventilated. We ordered a vermouth & a negroni. Both very much watered down. For the food we ordered calamari a la plancha & a mackerel. The fish was horribly small & with strong taste. The calamari were rubbery. The carrot puree was nice. Also 1 bottle of water (9.90$) & an espresso. The bill? 154$. Absolutely not worthed.
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!
Je viens de sortir du restaurant avec ma conjointe. Un service au top ! Des plats de qualités ! Une ambiance & un cadre à la catalane ! Je recommande fortement !
Nous avons pris les gambas & la joue de boeuf que nous recommandons fortement !
