Many guests praise dishes like the beef cheeks, paella, and French onion soup, noting that the kitchen consistently uses fresh ingredients to create flavorful, generous portions with thoughtful options for dietary restrictions.

Expérience catastrophique ! Plus d'une heure d'attente pour avoir une pauvre planche de fritures à peine correctes & vendues pour être un plat partagé ! & deux bagels !!! Serveuse certes souriante mais restaurant à éviter !
Arrivés par hasard au restaurant'les Pyrénées', nous y avons trouvé une ambiance chaleureuse, un merveilleux accueil & une cuisine savoureuse. Certainement une des meilleures expériences culinaires de notre voyage.
Amis touristes, éloignez vous quelque peu de la zone la plus fréquentée, & poussez la porte de cet excellent restaurant, vous ne serez pas déçus

Disappointing! I has sea food paella with friends, it was quite good, so I decided to go back the very next day. Somehow, it's completely different, portion is less, missing calamari, mussels are not fresh, meaning the shells are closed tight, when I questioned, one of the servers said the calamari's are diced really fine you can see it, if I wasn't there the day before, I would believe it. Then they said they would bring me a new one, which who knows I believe they just refreshed my original one. They purposely put calamari on top, which is weird because they were not like that the day before. So I believe this is not freshly newly made.
Disappointed.
L'ambiance & le service étaient super. Par contre, pour ce qui est de la nourriture, nous avons été très décus. En lisant les avis Google, nos attentes étaient très hautes. Croquetas à la morue qui manquaient de goût. Steak de thon qui était beaucoup trop cuit avec très peu d'accompagnement & paëlla très ordinaire même si c'est la spécialité du restaurant selon la serveuse.
Pour un repas à 220$ pour deux personnes, nos attentes étaient beaucoup trop élevées.
Excelente ambiente y servicio. La Paella tenía mucha manteca no tenía gusto a paella. Mejillones pésimo tamano y mal preparados. Sin gusto a nada. No había ninguno de los dos postres que elegimos inicialmente, el tercero si, la presentación de este parecía un vomito.... Dos personas $ 200.
Came here to cheer for Spain for the world cup finals & was quite disappointed. I was placed at the end of the restaurant while a family with a kid was put right in front of the screen blocking half of it.
When it comes to food, the sized are small, Calamari's main (pictured) looked like a large tapas at best. Soups were decent but nothing special. The service was.. mixed, some personal connections were nice but waiters brought a wrong sou the order, & forgot several requests.
I was also charged an item I didn't order, but after explaining, the bill was adjusted.
Also the prices on the website aren't up to date, many items are $3-4 higher.
It looked promising, & we've never had a bad meal in Montreal. Two of the tapas plates were good. One was mushy & salty. One of our party of three's entree arrived, but the other two did not. We had to keep asking the wait person to check on our other two dishes. A runner kept bringing the wrong dishes to tables next to us. The second person in our party finally got his entree, but there was no indication that the third person's meal was coming. After a while we asked the wait staff to check & it seemed like a surprise to her that there was a third meal missing. After the other two had finished their meals & we were asking for the check, the third entrée arrived. We declined it, were not offered any discount or apology, paid & left. Chalking it up to a bad night because the reviews are pretty good. Wouldn't be writing this if there had been any apology or restitution by the restaurant.
