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.
A must when visiting Montreal. Joey met as at door & invited us in. Dorothy was an awesome server & Joey checked in regularly. Go for Grilled calamari vs fried. It was epic!. Paella was very authentic & tasty & the wine recommendation was perfect. The atmosphere is lovely & I can only imagine the summer & being outside. Thanks for a great dinner & make sure you visit when in Old Town. One of our favorites
We had a great experience. Made a reservation same day for 7pm. Our server was really great, funny & helpful. We enjoyed the French onion soup, the broth was very flavorful. The salmon special for the night & the seafood paella was beautifully presented. Everything tasted great & was really fresh. Great overall experience
Quelle belle expérience & un excellent menu, Le cassoulet était exquis!! Merci à Jeremy pour la merveilleuse soirée:) Je recommande à toute personne qui hésite entre les restaurants du coin:) Vous ne serez pas déçus!
Bon resto, très sympa. J'ai super bien mangé. La paella est super bonne. J'ai très bien apprécié ma visite ce midi. Martin (le serveur) est très gentil & courtoise. Il m'a bien recommandé...🤩 il vaut la visite.
Fantastic service & location. Jeremy the head waiter as well as the manager (name?) are excellent at what they do. Knowledgeable, fast, friendly & most importantly have a great sense of humour. Also made a special dish for my somewhat finicky daughter. Food & wine were excellent.
What a wonderful restaurant this is. We had the pleasure of trying all kind of delicious food, from seafood to meats, everything was so good. & our server Kevin was the cherry on the Sunday. Highly recommend
Très bonne nourriture, servi avec soin. Par contre le serveur français est arrivé au restaurant avec son kit main libre activé & nous a fait profiter de sa conversation sans aucune discrétion de sa part & ce pendant plus de 10 minutes. Il nous a ensuite servi sans aucune bonne humeur de manière mécanique & sans se soucier de nous. Bref, & on se demande encore pourquoi on nous nomme les"maudits français"
What an absolute Gem!!! If you like seafood & Spanish food you have to eat here!! The entrees were devine: cauliflower soup & strawberry goat cheese salad. The paella is absolutely amazing!!! Fantastic service & in the heart of old Montreal, what more can you ask for!! EAT HERE!!!
Many Spanish restaurants in Montreal try to get the paella right but miss in one way or another. I lived in Spain & have traveled the country. I can tell you with great certainty Pyrénées got it right! Loved my dish & the service was excellent! Highly recommend.
Food & service was excellent. Atmosphere could easily be so much better to match the quality of the food. We both truly enjoyed our meal & the attentive & pleasant service. We'll be back.
