Set in the heart of Villeray, Mesón is a casual, one of a kind bistro offering a variety of comforting and original Spanish inspired dishes. At Mesón, one can expect to be enthusiastically received by the restaurant’s young and dynamic team.
At the head of the team are the restaurant’s four owners: Victor Afonso, Sébastien Muniz, Marie-Fleur St-Pierre and Pedro Oliveira. The group shares a true love for the flavourful cooking the Iberian peninsula is known for.
The culinary experience at Mesón is enhanced by a courteous service and an appealing decor. The menu’s specialties, as combined with a pleasant atmosphere, are sure to satisfy your longing for delectable food enjoyed in the good company of friends.
Mesón is described as a friendly spot with attentive service and a convivial atmosphere that works well for groups, with crowd pleasers like Pulpo a la gallega, Secreto iberico, and a paella that many diners enjoyed, while the drinks and brunch experiences are praised for their quality. The overall impression is delicious and welcoming, though some dishes are bland or overly salty, a few desserts miss the mark, and the pricing can feel steep for portion sizes. Noise levels can be high when the place is busy, but the staff are generally helpful and keep service smooth, making Mesón a reliable option for a lively night out or a relaxed brunch.
Belle expérience de brunch, beau, différent, pas cher, délicieux. Je pense qu'il est nécessaire de réserver pour éviter les mauvaises surprises.
Pour une facture peu salée par contre (seulement 4$ un latté c'est très bien), j'avoue que j'ai trouvé un léger manque de sel dans les assiettes, & je trouvais mon plat un peu moins élaboré & varié comparé à celui de ma partenaire de brunch.
J'y retournerai, sel en main, avec plaisir par contre !
I went to Meson with my cousin for a late night dinner, hence we easily found parking. What a discovery. This is now a top 3 in my list of great dining experiences. The ambiance, the service, & food impeccable. Our waiter was very nice & attentive to our questions. Even the waitress who brought the food over would explain each dish. Each dish was a delight. The wine was a good pick, white Faustino. I am definitely going back!! Bravo to Meson team!
absolutely amazing experience here. from the incredible food to the attentive service, my boyfriend brought me here for valentine's day & i'm still thinking about it over a month later!! can't wait to go back
Dommage un endroit où on permet le vapottage & si l'on s'en plaint , au lieu de dire que c'est interdit, on prévient la contrevenante que cela dérange certaines personnes. Ce qui m'a valu des regards courroucés. Bravo ! Manque de tact.
I recently dined here with my daughter & niece, & it was an excellent experience. My daughter has multiple allergies, & the staff was incredibly attentive, taking extra care to avoid any cross-contamination. They even overheard that we were celebrating my niece's birthday & surprised us by adding a candle to her dessert without us even asking. The service, ambiance, & food were all fantastic. Highly recommend!
The best flank steak I've had in a long time. Delicious apps & great Spanish wine selection. The owner is present, waiting tables & running food orders. A great restaurant!
