Our second time to Olé St. Anne de Bellevue. Food is delicious & staff are very personable & skilled in service. The location is amazing-beautiful view of canal & very close to McGill MacDonald campus. Olé tapas are a "must do" when in the West Island of Montreal!
Delicious Spanish tapas!! Everything was so delicious, maybe not exactly how some of it would be in Spain, but close enough & so tasty nonetheless. Our waiter was super friendly & helpful. Gorgeous terrace on the side of the canal Lachine.
Ah, anniversaries-the perfect time for romance, fine dining, & apparently, a crash course in food roulette! My wife & I decided to celebrate our special day with what we thought would be a delectable charcuterie board at OLE Tapas. Priced at $60, it boasted a mouth-watering selection including, crucially, goat cheese. Given that my wife can't digest cow's milk without turning into an unwilling marathon runner, goat cheese was our safe bet. Imagine our surprise when the board arrived, only for us to find out that the goat cheese was MIA. No warning, no heads-up, just a silent substitution that would make any cheese-loving connoisseur cry. Upon inquiring, we were told they "ran out." Out of cheese, fine. Out of courtesy? Not so fine. You'd think someone would have mentioned this tiny detail before we started nibbling. Our waiter, bless his heart, tried to "see what he could do." Spoiler alert: not much. The initial offer was to take back some untouched cheese & charge us less-what a generous offer to recycle our food into someone else's meal! Then came Plan B: a complimentary tapa. We cautiously asked for the veal meatballs, but again, out came the bombshell: no sheep's milk cheese either, just more cow milk! At this point, we wondered if we should bring a farm next time to ensure the ingredients are actually what they say on the menu. It's one thing to tweak a recipe; it's another to leave your customers in the dark, especially when it could end with them spending their anniversary in the bathroom rather than basking in romantic bliss. So, dear diners, consider this a public service announcement: check with your waiter twice-maybe thrice-before assuming that what you see on the menu is what you'll actually get. & as for OLE Tapas, here's a little tip: transparency is as essential in your service as it is in your kitchen (even if you worked in Hell's Kitchen). False advertising & menu surprises don't just leave a bad taste in your customers' mouths-they're also downright dangerous. (P.S. Thanks for the 35% discount, but as we told you directly we didn't need any financial compensation, we therefore tipped the server an additional 35% on top of his usual tip). In conclusion, our anniversary became memorable for all the wrong reasons. & next time, we'll probably skip the surprises & just order plain bread. At least we know what's in it...or do we?
**Overall, we loved it:** We had a great Sunday lunch with the family. The service was excellent & quick, just what you'd expect from a good Taberna. The head chef is very engaged & takes the time to greet guests at the door, adding a personal touch to the experience. The seafood tapas (shrimps, fried calamari, marinated anchovies) were perfectly cooked & well balanced. The shrimp were fresh & tender, & the calamari were well-seasoned, crispy, & not greasy-some of the best I've tried in all of Montreal. The Bacalao croquetas were spot on & comparable to what you'd be served in Spain. We liked them so much that we re-ordered. The cheese platter, though a bit pricey, was really good & would make a great starter along with their Sangria. The tortilla de patatas was average; I think there's room for improvement here. The bottom was burnt, & the texture was dry & crumbly-overcooked. The pan con tomate was disappointing. The bread didn't stand out (it felt store-bought), & the tomatoes weren't fresh & tasted as if they were mixed with spices or condiments. It's a simple tapa that should have been executed better. Unfortunately, the grilled chicken skewers were not up to par. I wouldn't recommend them. They were dry, lacked seasoning, & didn't taste fresh or made to order.
Beautiful restaurant, the food was excellent especially the chicken & we had a very good experience with the waitress with the blond hair. she was super friendly, gave very good service, made sure you we had everything we needed, we had questions about the menu & she answered very well & was always making sure our glasses were full!!
