Review Summary

Pintxo is widely regarded as a standout destination within the Le Central food hall, earning consistent praise for its high-quality tapas, particularly the octopus, lamb chops, and scallops. Most visitors commend the attentive, friendly service and the creative culinary approach of the kitchen staff, often highlighting the excellent value of the lunch menus and tasting options. While the food and service frequently impress, the experience is notably influenced by its location, as many patrons find the vibrant, bustling atmosphere of the food court to be loud and energetic rather than quiet or romantic. Opinions on the overall quality vary, with some diners describing the experience as world-class and reliable, while others find certain dishes inconsistent or the environment less appealing, yet the majority of guests view it as a must-visit spot in downtown Montreal.

Endroit visité plus d'une fois. Très bons tapas, bons vins & excellent service. MAIS hier soir un homme assis au comptoir s'est mis à engueuler une serveuse. Très malaisant & inacceptable.

They offer great wine & drink options as well as a fun tapas menu. There are lots of great options for every taste. We had a great cava & a couple of the starters.

Our first time at La Central & we were very impressed. This restaurant even has table service, which I did not realize was an option here. You sit where you want & just advise them or they may notice you grabbing the menu & head over. The food was really good, we had a variety of dishes & some drinks. You cannot argue with the price either, I assume the overhead is reduced since they are within La Central, so you get a good deal versus a full restaurant. This area doesn't have the best food options, so I'm glad to see this option available for a nice meal & a decent price & there are many others within La Central as the place was quite busy & I have heard good things about many of the restaurants.

Plats délicieux & service au top avec une ambiance sympathique à la montréalaise. Si vous voulez passer un bon moment, installez-vous au comptoir & vous ferez de belles rencontres autour d'un verre de vin.

The waitress was nice. The octopus was tender, but smelly, so we couldn't eat it. Both the scallops & the shrimp were undercooked. The potatas brava weren't crispy or spicy. So, not my favorite place.

I didn't know octopus could taste so good! It was like chicken.

They seem to have raised their prices quite a bit. However, it's still really good. The $17 lobster tail is definitely worth it; the $10 scallops are very small in portions but they're also really good.
