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!
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).
