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!
We arrived without reservations on a Saturday night & were seated without hesitation. Not only was our charming waiter, Alexis, attentive & well aware of the items on the menu, but the head chef himself came to the table & directed us down a culinary voyage catered towards our taste. He was clearly passionate about his craft & it showed in the quality of his work. The food - phenomenal, the service - impeccable, & the experience, without a doubt, unforgettable. Needless to say, we will be back.

We are visiting Montreal from Vancouver to care for my elderly dad. We asked some locals where to have dinner in this quaint & lovely town of St Anne de Bellevue..they said'you must try Ole Tapas'. They were right, the vibe, the food, the service & the owner, Nicholas who is a red seal chef were amazing! We loved it, the cost is very reasonable & the margaritas were excellent. We can't wait to go back for live Latin music on Friday & Saturdays! Thank you Nicko & staff for a wonderful dinner & experience 🥰
I have to add…Try Nicko's Churritos Smaschittos, so yummy & sealed by him to go.

It was amazing experience, very professional staff. The food is just awesome! Chef Nico took care of us personally, best experience ever! Gracias Nico!!!
This is the spot where you forget about everything because they really are not just a restaurant but a warm place with lots of great food & amazing experience from the chef Mr Nikolas.
Cozy atmosphere, nice waiter & friendly staff. It was almost hard to leave the place & go home. Food was very tasty, you REALLY could taste the flavour, spices. As well the chef's choice & his explanation how food was prepared could tell you about his great knowledge & passion.
Thank you & for sure we will come back!
All dishes were well prepared, well presented & tasty. Their dishes are also a little larger than'typical' tapas places. They advise of this when explaining the menu but that were still larger than expected. Chef Niko worked the room with ease, charm & passion for his craft & treated us to a small dessert'because you just need to try it'. Varied menu, great service, fantastic food & very good value due to the portion size. My only critique is that lighting was a little bright & I prefer a softer , more intimate vibe.

Words cannot even describe how delicious the food is at Ole Tapas- anytime I have ever eaten their food its always top tier & I am so impressed at the level of consistency no matter the time or day I go. Nikolas, the owner & head chef, goes to exceptional lengths to ensure his clients have the best dining experience possible every time. He is extremely passionate about what he does & it comes through in all the dishes. The staff is extremely efficient & polite. The restaurant itself is always so clean, cozy & welcoming. Anytime I am in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue I always stop in for a bite. Thank you Nikolas & your staff at Ole Tapas for your passion & dedication.
It was one of those afternoons when the world seems to be conspiring to make you happy. The air was warm enough to sit outside without a jacket, the trees around Canal St-Anne just tipping into their brightest colors, & the patio at Ole Tapas felt like the center of a small universe. Everything carried a touch of magic, the soft light, the easy laughter, & the sense that nothing urgent existed beyond that meal. When Chef Nikolaos Giannakopoulos came to greet us, his pride felt contagious, the kind that does not need to be announced. Our waiter, equally passionate, made us feel as though we were guests of honor in a private performance, not just customers at lunch.
The food rose to meet that mood. Jamón serrano that tasted of tradition, anchored by a goat cheese spread so lush we tried to wrestle its secret recipe from the chef, only to be told we would have to wait until it appeared in their mercado. Pan con tomate transported me back to Seville, the patatas bravas offered a sauce more soulful than fiery, & the croquetas de bacalao arrived golden, crisp, & fresh. By the time we pushed the plates aside, four dishes had become more than enough, though the temptation of the menu kept tugging. I left already imagining the joy of returning with a larger group, so we could stretch the table with even more small plates.
& then came dessert, as if the day needed one more stroke of perfection. Chef gently persuaded us into churritos with dulce de leche, & there was no regret in giving in. The sauce was sweet but measured, like the tender hug of a mother, the kind that lingers after you have pulled away. The whipped cream, made in house, was light & cloudlike, dressed in a dusting of chocolate. Candied fruits & nuts scattered across the plate felt like a playful last word, a reminder that food can surprise even at the finish.
When we finally stood to leave, the patio view had not changed, but somehow it felt sharper, as if the trees & water had been colored in more vividly. The memory of that lunch will stay with me less for its perfection & more for its warmth, the kind of afternoon where you realize life's best meals are never just about the food.
Wow wow wow what a great service & the food is amazing!!! Please go check them out. Staff & chef owner are amazing! Definitely needed this in the west . A must if you appreciate great food & excellent service!! Much as gracias y a la proxima !!!
I loved everything at ole. From the great food, to the amazing wait staff. & the head chef came out to greet us, which was nice. He then proceeded to bring the entire table his'churritos', a dessert similar to mr.bpuffs but made with tahini. I will be returning!
