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.
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!
Le service était irréprochable!!! Nous n'avons jamais manqué d'eau & le serveur était super sympathique! J'ai apprécié mon entrée de croustillant de chèvre au miel mais je n'ai pas aimé du tout mon repas principal de Gambas qui était beaucoup trop cuite. Mes amis ont pris le cassoulet & l'agneau & c'était délicieux!

Au restaurant Les Pyrénées de Montréal, nous avons apprécié une entrée à partager avec des calmars frits croustillants & une sauce relevée, accompagnés de légumes grillés & de petites bouchées savoureuses. Le plat principal, un filet de maquereau du jour, était parfaitement cuit, avec un pesto frais & des légumes croquants. Le service, très agréable & attentionné, a rendu l'expérience encore plus plaisante. Un repas simple & bien exécuté, avec un accueil chaleureux.
The vegetarian lasagna tasted good though perhaps slightly too creamy. It was a good mix of sauce, cheese, & vegetables. The salad that accompained was perfectly dressed & allowed the vegetables to really show for themselves. The orange sponge cake with dark chocolate sauce & raspberry sauce on the side was a tasty dessert. The cake was soft & moist. You could really taste the orange but it was not overpowering. The dark chocolate sauce provided a good balance between the citrus of the orange & bitter sweetness of the dark chocolate. Would recommend
Entré par hasard un soir de décembre dans ce restaurant de la rire Saint Paul. Un accueil chaleureux, une cuisine goûteuse & roborative, un service décontracte mais extrêmement professionnel... parfois le hasard fait bien les choses. J'y suis retourné 3 ou 4 fois pendant mon court séjour à Montréal, jamais déçu, tout est parfait.
