Dishes like octopus, paella, calamari and tapas are praised for depth of flavor and good value, while desserts and churros frequently earn standout notes. The chef and staff are repeatedly highlighted for passion and hospitality, with personal greetings at the table adding a memorable touch.

Taken together these reviews position Olé Tapas as a reliable go to for a lively Spanish culinary experience in a welcoming setting.
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!
Honestly, a newly found gem! Vibrant little place with great seating in or out but out is a MUST! (By the water & perfect view of the boats/dock) The food, was a pleasant change in flavours that just keeps you wanting more. Delicious! We had the sardines & chicken&potato dish as appetizers & of course their signature dish, seafood Paella, wow! Great variety of wine & beer to pair & we had the Estrella beer on tap! Service, was mostly younger in age but not to be fooled, very professional & on the ball & knowledgeable, which isn't surprising after meeting the owner on our wait out. Proud owner & full of passion. Making sure he followed up on our experience & when he heard it was ours first time he handed us a specially box of cookies to pair with ice-cream for dessert. What more do you want...? Bravo & thank you!

Service was friendly & helped with wine selection. Food was great, meat & cheese plate to start, family style salad & a large array of tapas. Meatballs, pork & chicken skewers, potato bravas & octopus were all delicious. Owner gifted us orange dessert tortillas when we were leaving & we prepared them the next day with ice cream & they were fantastic!
We stop at Ole Tapas a few times in the beautiful summer days. The terrace is very spacious with great view of the water marina buzz. The service always is impeccable. We tried several of the Spanish tapas specialties & we find them all being served with a nice presentation, very typically "Catalan" style. Everything we taste has been carefully prepared by chef Nikola. The shrimp, octopus & calamari, anyway you order them they are delicious. The "Papas Brava" is another staple we order. They have a nice short but well chosen selection of Spanish wines. We were last there in July 12th 2024 with friends & definitely planning to come back soon with more friends. Olé!
The last time we were at Ole Tapas was about 2-3 years ago. Don't get me wrong, the food was ok, but not as good as the last time. Not too many patrons in the restaurant. Maybe it's because the menu was more professional, but I really think that food just isn't as good. Ordered the red wine sangria, but it lacked fruit, only 2 slices of oranges & wasn't strong at all. Also, for a Spanish Tapas restaurant, they didn't even have grilled sardines. We mentioned this to the waitress, but no body asked us why. I don't think we will go back.
Extensive selection of delicious tapas. Good wine list. Attentive service without being intrusive. Not our first time at Olé Tapas & it won't be our last!

Such an amazing event to get to participate in - Wine & Menu tasting! Truly love coming to Olé for great wine, drinks, & food. The owner & employees are always a blast to interact with & are amazing at what they do. The food is always great. Thank you for holding this event (we of course will be back for date night & other events to come).
Excellent , I was a little sceptical as I am from Spain but it was truly authentic. The tapas were quite large & we had alot to bring home. The waitress was absolutely wonderful & provided amazing service.
The only negative for me is that as I do not drink wine or alcohol they do not serve soft drinks, only Perrier lemon or orange ( which I don't like ) but for the majority of people there is an extensive wine list. We just drank water. But the food truly food from Spain.

The ambiance was so nice & tapas are so much fun if you want to share everything & get to try many opinions. I very much enjoyed the daily specials as well as some of the classics. The sangria was very tasty & unlike in other restaurants not too sweet & full of juice, so you actually taste the wine! I will be back.
Wow! Friendly attentive service. Epicurean in our group was as pleased as the rest of us with the delicious delicate tastes - food & wine.
Decor is also beautiful, as Spanish as the offerings...
The Best Restaurant in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue by far, The taste of the food, Service, wine list, etc excellent. I will miss you guys until March. Happy Holidays.
Olé Tapas is & has always been a fabulous place to go, a hidden treasure on the West island. Delicious food, exceptional wines , tastefully decorated interior, warm atmosphere, I love it ! Being a passionate flamenco dancer myself, I have particularly enjoyed the Flamenco tablao. Keep up the great work, Olé Tapas team, bravo !
