Nous avons découvert Tapas Nena hier & quelle magnifique surprise ce fut pour nous. Premièrement, l'ambiance y est totalement chaleureuse, l'accueil & le service absolument impeccable & que dire de la nourriture; incroyablement exquise. Gros thumbs up pour l'accès à la cave à vin également qui différencie cet établissement des autres restos du coin. Seule déception, ne pas y être allé plus tôt, ça manquait définitivement à notre quotidien. C'est de loin notre nouveau restaurant favori de la région. Bravo à toute l'équipe ⭐?

From the warm welcome of the staff to that beautiful dining experience my tastebuds were claiming for more.
The young chef (owner) & his assistant prepare every plate with so much flavour, even if the restaurant is a tapas formula every plate is generously abundant (easy to share) won't leave you on your appetite & for wine amateur they have a huge choice of mostly all private imports.
The 3 of us really enjoyed everything that we've ordered, from the oyster accompanied with a green apple mignonette, sea food plater, the steak (onglet), the steak tartare, the asparagus & the wild mushroom plate everything was delicious & served generously, let's not forget the home made pastel de nata for dessert.

I have to say that nena - tapas & pintxo in St-Sauveur is one of the finest dining experience I ever had & I highly recommended it.
Can't wait to go back.

Une expérience inoubliable grâce à une équipe formidable. En commençant par la proprio, les cuisiniers & son chef, le sommelier & sa dégustation & évidemment la gang extraordinaire au table :DAVID ANDERSON & les AUTRES. Évidemment que les tapas & les pintxo étaient succulentes. Merci 🙏

Voir note plus bas **Wow! Le meilleur restaurant Tapas! Les plats portugais sont les meilleurs ❤️définitivement un de mes restaurants préférés! Must try : poulet portugais, filet mignon, patates brava (& plus & plus!) Malheureusement je dois changer mon avis, je suis vraiment déçu de l'accueil frustré & rempli de remontrance puisque nos bottes avaient de la neige … service ordinaire en plus de ça. Pourtant tous les autres clients ont eu droit à un service différent. Si ce n'est pas du racisme …. Je ne sais pas c'est quoi . Puisque c'est la première fois que j'ai un service la bas & c'est la première fois qu'on y va avec de la visite musulmane. Très déçue…

Wow la belle découverte! C'est bien plus qu'un bar à tapas. La cuisine est délicieuse, les tapas sont copieux, on s'est régalés de tous les plats! Le service est très attentif & sympathique. Le patron sort de sa cuisine pour faire un tour en salle & papoter. Ça devient rare. & encore plus rare, on peut aller choisir son vin & même le goûter en descendant dans la cave à vin. Ils ont un superbe choix & sont super accommodants. On peut déguster, choisir & discuter. Vins au verre ou en bouteille. SAQ & importations privée. On y retournera c'est sûr!! C'est une pépite

Nena Tapas in St. Sauveur is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth & charm that set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The ambiance is cozy yet vibrant, with a perfect mix of elegance & comfort that makes you feel right at home. Each dish we tried was a delightful surprise - beautifully presented, packed with bold flavors, & so creative! The tapas style allowed us to try a variety of flavors, & every plate was a hit. The standout for me was the brussels sprouts with glazed almonds & maple syrup, but honestly, everything was prepared to perfection. You can tell that every ingredient is fresh & thoughtfully selected, & the chef's passion shines through in every bite. The service was top-notch as well. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive, & offered excellent recommendations that enhanced our experience even more. We felt so well taken care of! Overall, Nena Tapas is a must-visit if you're in St. Sauveur. Whether you're a local or just passing through, don't miss out on this fantastic spot. Great food, amazing vibe, & outstanding service - it's everything you want in a dining experience!

I want to preface this review by saying the owner Nena is super kind & welcoming. She has a great concept on her hands with the homey vibe, promising menu & onsite sommelier. What could be improved: The name Tapas & Pintxo. A tapas is a small plate to share & a pintxo is a small bite usually paired with a glass of wine, typical of the spanish basque coast. What I live about this formula is that you can have a smaller appetite & still taste lots of dishes. I never saw Pintxos served in Canada & was excited to finally find the elusive place. To my slight disappointment, this restaurant really serves'north american' size main dishes that you can share. No tapas in the traditional sense nor pintxos. The salt level: It might have been the chef that day, but the food was too salty to the point where the salt was overpowering the otherwise good flavour of the dish. My feedback: you can always add salt after, but you can't take it away once it's there. The patatas bravas: this restaurant serves a reinvented version of the classic. I appreciate the risk taking, but it did not pay off in this instance. Either stick to the classic recipe or call the dish something else. Although too salty, it was otherwise good, just not what I expected The oysters: Average, but for 5$ a piece, I expected more. I have had better oysters at 2$ a piece with more elaborated accompaniments. The tuna tataki: Quite good, but a bit overpowered by the sauce & salt. The sommelier experience: Great concept, the only downside is, as you go down the stairs to the cellar, the bathrooms are right to your left before you make a right to the cellar. You could definitely smell the bathrooms. I like the concept, but in practice, I would prefer the sommelier to come to our table & recommend a pairing. Atmosphere: cozy, family friendly, quite loud as a result. Not the best spot for a romantic date or for having a conversation, but good for causal evening either way friends & family Overall, this place has potential. I'm judging the food a bit harshly because of the price it commends, but then again everything is expensive in St Sauveur & Covid has not made things easy for restaurant owners. My closing advice: Keep prices the same, make portions smaller (actual tapas), increase the quality of raw materials. The cherry on top would be to serve actual pintxos with wine pairing. In the meantime, my search for pintxos in Canada continues...

For starters, we went to this specific restaurant because we wanted to get some tapas & pinchos. This restaurant does not serve tapas or pinchos (even tho has it in its name?) if anything, it serves big plates that you can (or not) share. For us, the food was too salty (took foie gras, tataki), patatas bravas do not live up to the name. The "cellier" experience did not feel like a tasting but more of : you choose what you drink & go back to your table. Overall, this restaurant feels like they took a bunch of trending words & told everyone that they are doing it but they are not quite there. It has potential but I just feel like I got caught by false advertisement since I did not get what I came for. The owner seemed nice.

Belle découverte !! On nous accueille en mentionnant qu'il y a un sommelier sur place. On descend dans la cave à vin pour en discuter avec lui. Il a mit le doigt exactement sur ce qu'on voulait, très professionnel ! Beaucoup de variété sur le menu, bonne portion de tapas. Nous étions 2, avons prit 5 choix + dessert & nous étions plein. Repas à 400$ avec tip & bouteille de vin (conseillée par le sommelier) Nous y retournerons certainement ! Merci Nena la meilleure !!

Went with my family to share tapas & wine - everything was wonderful, the owner greeted us as we arrived with a warm smile & handshake. The staff was very welcoming & warm. Wine & food were top notch. We will absolutely be returning.
