Review Summary

Olé Tapas delivers authentic Spanish flavors with tapas, paella, and seafood, with generous portions that invite sharing. Guests consistently praise the welcoming, attentive service and the chef who greets tables, creating warm hospitality. The terrace by the water offers a beautiful, lively setting, especially at sunset, with an atmosphere that feels both festive and cozy. Prices are very reasonable for the quality, making it a great value for a night out with friends or a date. Sharing small plates works well, and every dish from grilled calamari to octopus and patatas bravas demonstrates care and balance. There is live music on Fridays and Saturdays that enhances the dining experience, along with well made cocktails and sangria. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the kitchen team shows evident passion and consistency across visits. Many guests leave wanting to return soon, describing Olé Tapas as a standout spot for authentic Spanish cuisine beside the river. Overall, Olé Tapas feels like a warm, picturesque escape that combines great food, welcoming service, and a memorable setting.

Ole Tapas is a hidden gem. It's a small, welcoming space that was buzzing on a Saturday night. You can feel the pride in the kitchen.

Chef Nik came by our table several times & his passion shows in every dish. This is real Spanish food that has not been Americanized.
We feasted on:
- Tabla Carne: Massive portion that easily feeds 3. The meat was tender & the potatoes were to die for.
- Paella de Carne: Authentic & flavorful
- Boquerones & Pan con Tomate: Fresh & traditional
- Ensalada à la Andaluza: Very fresh & good
- Margaritas: Excellent & well balanced
- Dessert: A unique churros type batter with confit fruit & dark chocolate sauce that was to die for

Needless to say we will definitely be returning. 10/10!

It's not authentic Spanish food, ailoli is a mayo with spices ($4), tinto de verano with syrup!!! Pan tomate was a joke, no garlic & with cheese. It's not bad but it's not real spanish food, rating 6/10. They should hire a Spanish Chef.

We recently visited Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue & were looking for a great place to eat. We chose Tapas Bistro Olé, & it turned out to be the perfect choice-the terrace was shaded & inviting on a sunny day, & the lively atmosphere (the place was full!) was already a good sign.
From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed. I mentioned in passing that my parents were visiting from out of town, & the Chef must have overheard-because later, he surprised them with a complimentary dessert. It was such a thoughtful gesture & a beautiful way to make us feel at home.
The whole team was warm, friendly, & truly authentic. Everyone spoke Spanish, which added to the charm & energy of the place. The Chef-who I jokingly nicknamed'Mzungu' in a playful exchange with a Ghanaian friend-was fantastic. Not only was the food delicious, but you could tell he cared deeply about both his staff & his guests, which made the experience even more special.
I also learned that they're about to receive an important recognition for the quality of their food-a well-deserved honor!
If you're in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Tapas Bistro Olé is a must-visit. Come for the food, stay for the warmth, & leave with a smile.

Amazing & authentic Tapas

Ole Tapas is a true gem for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Spanish cuisine in a beautiful setting. Located right by the Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue canal, it offers a fantastic terrace that's perfect for soaking in the summer sun while sipping on an Aperol Spritz & enjoying a variety of flavorful tapas.
The food here is outstanding - every dish we tried was packed with authentic flavors & clearly made with care. There is a big selection of different tapas, & we were pleasantly surprised by how generous the portions were. It's rare to find a tapas spot where you actually feel like you're getting great value, but Ole Tapas absolutely delivers on that front.

The service was also excellent, friendly, attentive, & welcoming, which added even more to our overall experience. Whether you're a fan of Spanish food or just looking for a great place to relax & dine by the water, Ole Tapas is a must-visit if you're ever in the area. We'll definitely be coming back!

We had one of the best meals we have had in Montreal. The grilled calamari was done to perfection, the garlic bread with tomato & Manchego cheese was fantastic. The staff was amazing, the decor is perfect & the music helps transports you to Spain. We were able to talk with the chef & you can see how passionate he is to serve fantastic authentic Spanish tapas & dishes. Trust me you will have a fantastic meal here. We are already think of when we can go back. Oh by the way, be sure to order the Ole Sangria, it is simply the best one I have ever had.

I had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic Spanish restaurant & was blown away by both the food & the service. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, & the chef himself came by to greet us, which added a personal & authentic touch to the evening.

The paella was outstanding-perfectly cooked with rich, layered flavors. The patatas bravas were crispy on the outside, soft inside, & paired beautifully with a spicy aioli. The fried calamari were golden, tender, & not at all greasy-just the way they should be.

Every dish felt like a celebration of Spanish cuisine, & the attentive service made the experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back!

We lucked into Olé Tapas in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue for a Sunday lunch, & what an amazing find! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Owner Chef Nikolaos, & Elizabeth, our waitress, provided fantastic service-friendly, attentive, & genuine. It's clear Nikolaos fosters a great vibe with his staff. The food was incredible. We shared the Paella de Marisco, which was as authentic as it gets. Generous portions, first-rate ingredients, perfectly cooked bomba rice, & none of that overcooked seafood you might find elsewhere. Just excellent. The Calamares a la Andaluza were perfectly fried, light, & not greasy-so much better than what you usually get in the area. & don't miss the croquette platter-a delicious mix that we'd highly recommend. To top it all off, Nikolaos treated us to some gluten-free desserts: a carrot cake-style treat & a chocolate-dark berry creation. Both were absolutely delicious & didn't feel like "gluten-free" compromises at all. Everything was devoured. Olé Tapas stands out in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, & we'll absolutely be back. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out on a real gem. Highly recommend checking out their website to get inspired & then heading over for an unforgettable meal!

Ole Tapas is one of the best Spanish restaurants we've discovered in Montreal. This hidden gem offers authentic cuisine & warm hospitality, with a stunning waterfront view. We enjoyed a variety of flavorful tapas, including crispy patatas bravas, Pintxos De Pollo, & Champinones Al Ajillo, but the standout was the saffron-rich paella, packed with fresh shrimp, mussels, & calamari. The attentive service catered to our dietary needs, including halal meat options. The chef personally visited our table, sharing his passion for the food & generously gifting us homemade tortas to take home. Ole Tapas is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Spanish flavors.

Excellent , I was a little sceptical as I am from Spain but it was truly authentic. The tapas were quite large & we had alot to bring home. The waitress was absolutely wonderful & provided amazing service.
The only negative for me is that as I do not drink wine or alcohol they do not serve soft drinks, only Perrier lemon or orange ( which I don't like ) but for the majority of people there is an extensive wine list. We just drank water. But the food truly food from Spain.
