This place is a hidden gem! Overlooking the st-Lawrence river, Ole Tapas is a great spot for date nights, family gatherings or events. The space is beautifully decorated, the service was friendly & quick, & the prices are fantastic considering the owner & head chef Nic worked for Gordon Ramsay's Hells Kitchen. He personally welcomes guests & cares about their dining experience. Food was excellent & beautifully presented. Drinks & dessert were delicious. My family & I will definitely be coming back!
What an amazing experience. From the start to the end. Service on top, the waiter Ainsley taking care of us, the chef Nicolas came to present his dessert & it was absolutely delicious ! I will come back for sure with some friends. Thanks again & I recommend it 1000%
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.
En vacances à Montréal, une de nos très belles expériences culinaires pour conclure notre séjour.
Une cuisine & des plats savoureux que nous avons fort apprécié . Accueil chaleureux de l'équipe. Bravo au chef. Cadre dans le thème & belle terrasse. Nous y retournerons sans hésitation.
We loved this place! Darrell provided us with such great personal service. His menu recommendations were perfect. We had the most tender, mouthwatering shrimp, grilled to perfection. The fried chicken thighs dish with potatoes was outstanding. Bonus: the chef offered freshly made churos on the house. All in all a wonderful experience & great way to start the weekend.
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!

Great paella by the river! Our waitress was very nice & the chef was nice enough to come to our table & talk about the food. Also really enjoyed the ice cream dessert & the crema catalana cheesecake. Looking forward to coming back for the black paella!
Gros coup de coeur pour le déjeuner ! Les croquettes au poisson & les crevettes étaient incroyables - franchement les meilleures que j'ai goûtées ici, & l'expérience la plus proche de ce qu'on peut vivre en Espagne.
Mention spéciale au service, super chaleureux, & au chef/proprio qui dégage tellement d'amour dans sa cuisine & dans sa façon d'être. C'est rare & ça se sent. & que dire de la terrasse, super agréable avec une belle vue sur la rivière.
We used to come here all the time before it switched owners. Our last experience was unfortunate - one person in our party is celiac. Unfortunately, neither the waiter nor the chef seemed knowledgeable on the allergy, stating that the rice had gluten because it was labeled glutinous. Glutinous means water absorption & does not indicate it contains gluten. The chef was too busy to help us out, so ordering something else felt too risky considering the lack of knowledge on the allergy. We ended up having to leave. Really sad because this was one of our favorite places, especially as a place we felt safe for our allergies. Can't speak on the food now, but hopefully management sees this & handles allergies better in the future :)

Had a very pleasant experience here with wonderful staff & delicious food. They were also very accommodating with my service dog, offered him water & the chef cooked a pet-friendly beef dish for him. Also, their old fashioned is one of the best I've had. Will 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!

We had supper here on a Friday night. The food was delicious. The grilled shrimps we spot on cooked, firm & juicy. The calimari was melt in your mouth tender, the octopus super tender (the say it is cooked sous vide ). We followed that with a seafood paella, another deliciously executed dish. The desserts were two mini cakes, one chocolate & raspberry, the other a vanilla cheescake. The wait staff & chef were friendly & efficient. A nice touch was they warmed my tea cup. We will be back for more!
I discovered this gem by pure chance. I've been twice already. It's a must. The food is truly Spaniard, the chef is amazing, great human & the service exceptional. You can bring kids, they will be spoiled.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible Spanish cuisine! The paella was flavorful & packed with fresh seafood, while the fried calamari was light & crispy, & the shrimp cooked to perfection. Chef Nicolas was not only skilled but also friendly & welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. The staff was attentive, & the atmosphere was warm & inviting. A fantastic dining experience all around-highly recommend!
Comida deliciosas, paellas sabrosas, captura totalmente la esencia espanola, nunca había probado una sangria tan rica en Montreal, muy agradecido con el chef Nikolas por su atención y servicio.
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.
