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!
We were convinced to sit down & dine here & everything turned out absolutely amazing. Beautiful view by the water. The food was amazing. The service was excellent, the chef & his expertise was incredible & very accommodating. Great experience!
-Sincerely Polish Eva, Maria, & family
Had such a great experience! Great food brings you in, but genuine hospitality keeps you coming back. Huge thanks to the chef who went above & beyond - friendly, generous, & passionate about every dish. 👨?🍳✨
An unforgettable evening - thank you, Chef!
I don't usually go out of my way to write reviews, but this experience deserves a special shoutout. From the moment we sat down, the chef's suggestions for tapas were spot on - every dish was full of flavor & beautifully balanced. But what truly took the night to another level was the dessert.
I'm not someone who typically goes crazy over dessert - but this one? Absolutely exceptional. Unique, perfectly executed, & unlike anything I've tasted before. It genuinely made both me & a close friend of mine smile - & that says a lot. It was one of those rare moments where food becomes a memory.
Thank you, Chef, for your attention, passion, & creativity. You made our evening so special, & we'll absolutely be back very soon!
I had an incredible dining experience here! The flavors were unique & full of surprises, making every bite memorable. What impressed me the most was that the chef is not just hidden in the kitchen - he takes the time to connect directly with his guests. This made the whole evening feel truly personal & human, far beyond a simple meal. It was more than just great food, it was an experience I'll remember & definitely want to repeat. Highly recommended! 😊
Come with a group to share as many options as you can. Delicious seafood paella, fried calamari, drinks & more.
An absolute gem & lovely terrace beside the water. Thanks to Darryl & the chef for the wonderful service.

What a beautiful evening we had with our friends at Ole Tapas in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue! The food was really amazing. We had the Croquetas party plater & the pulpo à la Gallegos 😱 , wow , everything was delicious! & the amazing dessert !
Thanks the the Chef & Owner Nikolaos Giannakopoulos & his crew! We will definitely go back!
Service rapide, des bons conseils pour nous aider à choisir. Toute l'équipe est sympathique. Chose qu on ne voit plus, le chef qui vient nous voir pendant le repas pour nous demander si tout est OK, en plus il nous a offert le dessert. Je le recommande la bouffe est divine
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.

2e fois chez Olé Tapas, cette fois ci pour un 50e anniversaire. Excellente soirée!!! Service impeccable, ambiance incroyable & la nourriture est typiquement espagnole, même nettement mieux que lors de mon séjour en Espagne. Les calmars sont les meilleurs que j'ai mangé, tous les tapas sont succulents & la paella était délicieuse. Le chef Nik est accueillant c'est tout un cuisinier. Un must de restaurant!!!
First time & oh boy I can't say enough! This place is incredible & party in your mouth. The chef Nicolas is amazing & kind! Will be back here for sure. Love it!
Excellent service bonne cuisine & employé se démarque pour que vous passiez une belle soirée, même le chef de la cuisine est venu nous rencontré a notre table, vraiment une tres belle soirée
This hidden gem of restaurant is absolutely incredible! Everything is a 11 from the drinks, atmosphere & the service in which they take care of you! Our waiter Santiago took care of us & made sure that we had everything! This place is a pillar example of how a restaurant should be! It has everything you need even a beautiful view right on the water!
But even sitting inside won't disappoint the atmosphere has such a charm!
& now onto the food. The beautiful presentation of the food, the variety of choices & the absolutely insane delicious flavours coming from every single dish on the menu from the tapas all the way to dessert. Even the bread is delicious! You must try the dessert its so fresh & not too sweet they use very good quality ingredients.
The chef deserves recognition for the amazing food!
Thank you & can't wait will be coming back again soon. Theres no need to go to a restaurant in the city just go to St Anne's :)
