Étions 4 adultes un soir du Festival de Jazz. Excellent service. Plats inégaux. Braisé de porc succulent. Pieuvre un peu trop grillée/calcinée à la petite extrémité. Calmars frits: un peu trop de panure pour la grosseur des rondelles; bien sans plus. Salade roquette/ halloumi bien. Les vins étaient ok, les bières rafraichissantes & les cocktails très bien.). Nous ne recommanderions pas cet endroit.

Pintxo est devenu mon restaurant de prédilection au centre-ville, & chaque visite confirme pourquoi j'y retourne plusieurs fois par semaine. La qualité du service & des repas demeure constante, ce qui en dit long sur le sérieux de l'équipe.

Le chef Alonso & Eric méritent une mention spéciale. Leur attention à la clientèle se ressent dans chaque détail, & j'apprécie tout particulièrement leur délicatesse à ajuster le menu lorsque je reviens souvent dans la même semaine. Cette capacité à personnaliser l'expérience témoigne d'un véritable souci du client.

La table d'hôte du midi représente une aubaine, alliant finesse & générosité à un excellent rapport qualité-prix. Pour quiconque cherche une adresse fiable au centre-ville, Pintxo coche toutes les cases. Je recommande chaleureusement.

Premier review mais 3ème visite à ce restaurant qu'on considère le plus fiable au Central depuis des années.

Encore une fois, le service est supérieur à la moyenne, intéressé & sympathique.

En cuisine, on ne réinvente pas la roue, mais ce qu'on fait, on le fait très bien. On retourne toujours vers la pieuvre, fraîche, bien dorée sur le grill. La portion de thon est minuscule mais le goût & le plat était impeccable.

De loin, la vedette ce soir-là était le poisson du jour, savamment apprêté, beau mélange d'ingrédients, du grand art. En finale, on a légèrement regretté les betteraves, correct, sans plus.

Avec une bouteille de vin & apéro, plus de $200 pour 2 personnes. Un peu cher comparé à la compétition, aurait pu tomber à 4 étoiles car prix élevé mais le service & la qualité de la nourriture le maintien en tête de peloton au Central si vous cherchez un bon repas dans une ambiance de marché.

Recommandé.

P.S.: si ce review vous a été utile, svp laisser un 👍, merci ! 🙏🏼

Wow, quelle belle découverte ! Nous avons choisi ce restaurant au départ grâce à l'accueil chaleureux & attentionné du personnel… & nous n'avons pas été déçus.

J'ai été agréablement surprise par la qualité exceptionnelle des plats, surtout considérant le prix très abordable : seulement 35 $ pour un menu quatre services. Chaque assiette était savoureuse & bien présentée.

Un gros plus : l'équipe a su adapter le menu à nos restrictions alimentaires & allergies avec beaucoup de soin & de professionnalisme.

Je recommande fortement cet endroit sans hésitation !

I recently visited Montreal & had the pleasure of dining here with my sister-& what a wonderful experience it was! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming & vibrant. The service was attentive, friendly, & genuinely warm, which made us feel right at home.

The food was absolutely exceptional. Every dish we tried was full of flavor, beautifully presented, & clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. We enjoyed every bite! The octopus & lamb chops were out of this world.

Pixtos is the kind of place that leaves a lasting impression-not just for its delicious cuisine, but for the way it makes you feel like a special guest. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Montreal. We'll definitely be coming back!

Adoré l'expérience. Nous avons opté pour le menu dégustation & tout était à point. Bonne quantité, bonnes saveurs & belle présentation. Je dirais que la salade halloumi était un peu simple, mais quand même pas décevante. Sinon shoutout à Éric, super service & excellentes recommandations de vins.
