This place is the best restaurant in Ste Anne de Bellevue hands down.
The tapas menu is playful & delicious, high-quality ingredients & everything authentic & Spanish sourced.
Plenty of options to eat & the staff is exceptionally pleasant & helpful. Order a little at a time or everything at once. They will be helpful & patient with you & everything done with a smile.
The wine list is all Importation Prive Spanish wines not available at the SAQ. So very nice to switch it up. Also reasonably priced wines with a good QualityPrice balance.
Decor is colorful & bright with lots of yellows & reds & blues, as you would expect in a Trattoria in Spain.
I also noticed that many of the tables around me are conversing in Spanish. A famous restaurant critic once told me that if I wanted to be sure I was eating authentic regional cuisine, to look around myself & make sure I was a minority surrounded by people from that region, that lets you know that you're getting an authentic culinary experience.
Even the sangria actually tastes like good quality red wine is used in making it, filled with apple orange & lemon wedges & delicious on a hot day.
I'm actually sitting on the terrace right now as I write this watching the boats go by on the boardwalk.
I'm updating this review after returning recently to eat here again, & noticing that Owner & Chef Nicolas has updated the menu. Everything was great. & I mean EVERYTHING. I don't usually order salads when I dine out, as I prefer to make them at home & try very hard to order things & it wouldn't normally cook at home on a daily basis when I'm dying out. But even the salads here were so good. I had trouble not going back for more over & over again. Meat platter of warm, tap as good feet two or three people easily, & that's just one dish. Everything here constantly gets better . Most restaurants tend to decline overtime, this one just keeps up against scheme it seems.
Every time I come to this town in my boat & I eat somewhere else, I wonder why I bothered, & realize I should've just come back here.
I just brought two very discerning, foodie friends that visit Montreal for several months every year from overseas, & they immediately labeled this place'one of my favorite restaurants'.
& on-site Chef 😎🍖🍕🍔🥩🍤🍣🍻🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿 owner makes all the difference, everything's so fresh, every plate being checked all the way out of the kitchen. It really shows up in the quality of the final meal that comes to your table.
Very caring & friendly staff, that clearly display a strong desire to see you happy, & visibly trying very hard to make sure that happens.
Very rarely do I feel the desire to linger in a restaurant after I finished my food. I usually just ask for the bill & I leave. Here I always have desire to hang out a little longer & have one last glass of wine, just to stretch out experience. I almost feel like I'm sitting in a restaurant in Spain, unrushed & welcomed.
Definite five stars for the combination of ambience, service, food quality & location. You can't go wrong at'Ole'!
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!

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!
This was the first time I ever tried Spanish cuisine, & I can say with confidence that it is now one of my favourites & I will absolutely be back.
Highly recommend the potatoes, they are nicely spiced & the sauces they are served with are incredibly tasty. We also tried the carne paella & it was very good.
In terms of portions, we were four people & we ordered 2 tapas & the paella, it was almost too much food!

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.
Ole Tapas is a true gem for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Spanish cuisine in a beautiful setting. Located right by the Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue canal, it offers a fantastic terrace that's perfect for soaking in the summer sun while sipping on an Aperol Spritz & enjoying a variety of flavorful tapas.
The food here is outstanding - every dish we tried was packed with authentic flavors & clearly made with care. There is a big selection of different tapas, & we were pleasantly surprised by how generous the portions were. It's rare to find a tapas spot where you actually feel like you're getting great value, but Ole Tapas absolutely delivers on that front.
The service was also excellent, friendly, attentive, & welcoming, which added even more to our overall experience. Whether you're a fan of Spanish food or just looking for a great place to relax & dine by the water, Ole Tapas is a must-visit if you're ever in the area. We'll definitely be coming back!

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.
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!
I love this restaurant. Amazing Spanish food & lots of options to choose from. The service could be a bit slow on busy days, but it's worth it! The sangrias are delicious too!

The service was impeccable by Niko & the food is the best Spanish food we ever had! In ste Anne de belle vue I didn't expect such a five star food service & view
What a treat! We were hoping to find good Spanish tapas ended up enjoying a wonderful meal right next to a live band. Excellent selection of exquisite tapas, prepared from scratch with TLC, served while listening to a fantastic band of live music. We booked a larger table for next week on our way out. Looking forward to it.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!
