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!

Nous nous sommes régalés ce soir chez Olé! Les portions étaient vraiment très généreuses, la nourriture était absolument délicieuse & le service était excellent! Le choix des vins était varié & le patron fût vraiment très gentil avec nous, en plus de nous offrir des desserts savoureux!
Nous avons été très satisfaits de tous les tapas que nous avons sélectionné! C'est vraiment un restaurant que nous recommandons à tous! Ça sera une soirée réussie assurément pour tous!!
Mon couple & moi avons passé une merveilleuse soirée. La nourriture était exquisite. J'ai beaucoup aimé la salads grecque & la paella aux fruit des de mer. De plus, le personnel était très attentionné & accueillant, & pour fingir, nous avons été gâtés avec un délicieux dessert.
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.

My father had the'best calamari of his life.' The server helped advise us not to over-order, so we ended up with the perfect amount of food for five people. & they offered a free dessert on the house!
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.
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!
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
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.
The restaurant is excellent. Location, food, service, all very good & at reasonable prices. Try the octopus & the calamari. Definitely the choritos-based dessert.
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 :)

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!
We were a party of 6 & had wonderful dinner. The food, drinks, amazing & soo cute waiter. 😜 The owner Nico, super nice gentleman amazing Cook. Thank you for the fantastic dessert. See you again soon 😁
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%
I had an incredible experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely amazing-every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, & clearly made with high-quality ingredients. From the appetizers to the desserts, everything exceeded expectations.
The service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, & genuinely cared about making sure we had a great time. They were knowledgeable about the menu & offered great recommendations.
Overall, this place delivers on both taste & hospitality. I'll definitely be coming back soon!
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!
