I rarely give 5 stars. However, our experience at Olé Tapas was exceptional & deserves the recognition. Most restaurants fall short on customer service. They opt for menus on tablets & robots to deliver the food. While this may be novel, nothing replaces the warmth of human interaction.
From the moment we walked in, our hostess greeted us & wished us, happy anniversary. Alexandra served us throughout the night with care, making sure we had everything we needed. Chef Niko was in the dining room, chatting with guests & was warm & helpful. This attention to detail is what makes a restaurant a true success. Olé Tapas provides a genuine experience that is above standard in Montreal. This is the difference between a 4 star review & a 5 star experience. Restauranteurs should take notes.
If you dine at Olé, expect a culinary tour of Spain. Tapas is best served in a group of friends with Spanish wines. Relax & enjoy the experience. Niko who was awarded as,'The Best Youngest Pastry Chef' often tests new desserts & you might be lucky to try one!
I recommend making a reservation as the restaurant is busy.
I would love to see a tasting menu with an option of a sommelier wine tasting experience. Or perhaps a theme night that compliments the culinary journey.
This restaurant is for those who desire to experience something special. As a gold member of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Canada, the effort & time taken into creating an exceptional menu is worth the price.
The'Tabla de carnes' is a show stopper & is very popular. People often stop the serving staff & ask for the name of the dish as it passes by.
Lastly, don't forget to leave room for dessert, they are delicious!
Mother's Day was special. The chef came to our table to explain the desserts, & they gave my mother a rose at the end of the evening. Great management, great energy, & a warm atmosphere - that's a real restaurant experience.

We were fortunate to meet the owner / chef outside this quaint little restaurant...while trying to decide if we wanted to have our dinner there. I say'fortunate' for 2 reasons. First off,we didn't have reservations...& it was Saturday night around 6 ish. Secondly he lead us inside & showed us a huge meat platter ( on a bed of cubed & seasoned potatoes) to help us decide to eat his establishment. What you need to try & comprehend is ...the small restaurant was almost full of people eating. Technically he wasn't ( pardon the pun) starving for business. I was fully over whelmed by his dedication to restaurant.
From the service to the food, the chef came to soeak with us & Alexandra the greatest serviceof all time, excellent & thank you for the great evening dinner tonight.
First time at ole tapas restaurant. A great step up in an authentic Spanish culinary experience. The chef & the staff are amazing. The advised really well. Octopus a definite must have! Champagne sangria also amazing & refreshing. Highly recommend.
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.
Tellement une belle soirée .le Service de notre serveuse Brooke était impeccable. La nourriture absolument délicieux. Le chef excellent . On va définitivement revenir .
I came to Ole Tapas for my birthday dinner, & it was absolutely wonderful. The paella was delicious - perfectly cooked & full of flavor. The staff were warm & welcoming. Chef Nicolas even surprised me with a special birthday treat, which truly made my day. A memorable experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!
