Review Summary

At Mesón, reviews describe a versatile and dependable dining spot with flavorful Spanish-inspired dishes, attentive service, and a warm, convivial atmosphere that suits groups, casual dinners and brunch alike. The menu shines with tapas, gravlax, marinated salmon, paella, fideua and churros, with many praising the quality and variety and noting that the paella can vary in quality. Service is repeatedly described as friendly, professional and attentive, with staff going the extra mile for celebrations and allergy concerns. The ambiance is consistently warm and lively, making it a great setting for gatherings, though music can be loud and sometimes makes conversation difficult.

A tapas place in a residential area. A casual restaurant gives an impeccable service compared to a fancy fine-dining one.
We were a bit clumsy with the Spanish menu, the passionate young Elaina patiently helped us to demystify every section on the menu. Then she has suggested three choices from the Platitos Frios, three from the Platitos Calientes & one from the Platos to share as tapas, also a bio white wine to pair with. The tapas was served two by two, plates, forks & knifes were changed after every serving. The delectable paella was served at the end.

Amazing neighborhood restaurant..with strong Spanish influences/ flavours. Great place for a cocktail or shareable tapas ... the food is utterly delicious & the filtered night time vibe, at the bar, is just perfect.

First time at Mesón & it definitely landed in my top favorite tapas spots. Aside from the impeccable service, the food was just as good! We ordered the tartare de res, Atún en crosta, Paella a la Mesón & churros - eeeeeeverything was so flavorful! Will be back :)

Nous avons souper à ce resto le 28 août 2024 pour l'anniversaire de ma fille. Le service était parfait. Chacun des employés n'ayant pas manqué de souligner l'anniversaire de ma fille. Les plats étaient goûteux, bien préparés. C'est une formule tapas. Le restaurant est joli dans un beau quartier. Bravo à toute l'équipe! Je recommande sans hésitation.

Souper tapas entre amis. Excellente cuisine & beaucoup de choix ! Bon service & conseils sur quoi choisir parmi tous les choix. C'était ma deuxième fois au Mesón & j'ai adoré encore une fois.

Nous h sommes aller pour le brunch de la fin de semaine, avec pas mal d attente vu les commentaires, mais peut être trop d attente justement. Mis à part les noms sur la carte en espagnol il n y a pas grand chose de vraiment espagnol. C est pas que c est mauvais mais c est sans âme, rien de plus que n importe quel autre restaurant dans le même quartier. Je ne recommande pas & je n y retournerai pas, de tous les restaurants espagnols de Montréal le seul qui pourrait prétendre offrir un repas vraiment typique est Olé tapas a sainte Anne de Bellevue, le reste c est de l'imposture.

First time going & glad we went there. My friend had previously went for brunch & liked it. We decided to try 6 different tapas to share. Every plate was delicious. They were very accommodating with being gluten-free & dairy-free. My favorite was the octopus, the texture was perfect. We also had a wonderful attentive server. Thank you for the meal, the ambiance & the attention. Will have to go back & try more.

Ayant été chez Tapéo quelques fois auparavant, l'expérience chez Mesón fut à la hauteur des attentes. Les tapas & la paella étaient délicieux & bien préparés. Service impeccable & excellente recommandation de vin selon nos goûts exprimés. Nous y retournerons sous peu.

Excellent service, courtois & plein de gentillesse ! Deux tapas & coca (pizza espagnol) à deux & ce fût parfait. Excellent vin au verre aussi. Resto où on peut se parler sans entendre les autres ! À retourner sans hésitation !

Restaurant surfait. les tapas sont ordinaires & les desserts manquent de raffinement. Service pas particulièrement sympathique, musique trop forte. On a l'impression de payer pour le décors.

Super expérience au Mesón Restaurant Général Espagnol.
Excellent service de notre serveur Andy & l'équipe qui travaillait avec lui.
Vous y découvrirez d'excellents tapas espagnols dans un magnifique décor moderne & très sympathique.
Essayez le rosé pétillant qui a fait l'unanimité à notre table.
Merci Marie-Fleur de nous faire découvrir de si bons plats abordables.
Ne change pas Méson & j'y retournerai pour longtemps!
