Review Summary

Reviews describe Nena as a standout tapas and pintxo spot with a generous, shareable menu that shines with seafood, filet mignon, lamb, and Portuguese specialties, all prepared from fresh ingredients and plated with flair, while the wine cellar experience lets guests sample and choose from a wide selection of private imports guided by a knowledgeable sommelier. The atmosphere blends warm, rustic charm with a modern, friendly energy, making it suitable for a lively night with friends or a cozy evening by the fireplace, and the service is consistently praised for attentiveness and hospitality. The wine program is a recurring highlight, with guests enjoying expert recommendations and multiple tastings before selecting bottles. Most visits are described as excellent or exceptional, with many calling Nena a must visit in Saint Sauveur and one of the region’s top spots. Some comments note that the venue can be loud and that service can be slow during peak times, and a few guests mention pricing as a consideration, but overall the experience is highly regarded.

Quelle belle découverte. Accueil chaleureux de Nena & des plats savoureux qui nous ont ravis. & que dire de la cave à vin & de son sommelier en chef Philip Dodd qui nous fait déguster quelques vins afin de nous éclairer dans notre choix de bouteille. Une adresse à garde

Absolutely phenomenal. The food is literally perfectly cooked. Everything from the vegetables to the various seafood & meats are cooked to perfection. I don't think I've ever had shrimp & scallops so perfectly cooked. The personalised wine cellar sommelier experience is unique & adds to the experience. Is it pricier? Yes. Is it more Jan worth every dollar? Also yes. I didn't take any pictures because it all disappeared too quickly. Sorry not sorry.

Définitivement LE meilleur restaurant auquel j'ai mangé dans toute ma vie. Les propriétaires sont tellement gentils. On peut goûter l'amour dans chaque bouchée. La cabe à vin au sous-sol est impressionnante avec de multiples choix d'importation privé. Les portions sont généreuses & gouteuses. Un incontournable à essayer.

Sérieux , vous devez y aller. La bouffe est juste incroyable. Excellent qualité prix & que dire du personnel.. juste wow 🤩. Courtois, aimable, & un service hors paire. C'est vraiment le fun d'aller souper à un restaurant & se sentir dans un environnement familial ou la bonne ambiance règne & qu'ils nous font sentir comme si on était de la famille Je donnerais plus que 5 étoiles ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cuisine vraiment délicieuse, un peu cher mais les saveurs sont exquises & recherchées. Cependant, service très médiocre, le verre de vin demandé n'est jamais venu & une personne du personnel se l'établissement s'est joint à une table derrière nous & a refait le monde très très bruyamment, à tel point qu'on avait peine à s'entendre à notre table. Le calme de l'extérieur nous a fait du bien.

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...

Excellent restaurant. La nourriture est très bonne mais c'est très cher. Quand on va à ce restaurant, on y va pour vivre une super expérience! On peut même choisir son vin dans la cave à vin avec un sommelier. C'est vraiment une expérience qui sort de l'ordinaire. C'est à refaire assurément😊

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.

What surprising find in St-Sauveur. The Portuguese chicken was one of the best I've ever had. So moist. That chimichuri was just perfect. But the dish that I can't stop thinking about is the grilled root veggies. Like comon...like candy in ur mouth. & the cherry on top was Nena, the owner. She was so delightful & inviting. Best host!
