About

Pintxo focuses on the vibrant traditions of Basque culinary heritage by serving a diverse array of authentic bite-sized snacks known as pintxos. Small plates dominate the menu, featuring carefully curated combinations of fresh seafood, cured meats, and seasonal vegetables arranged on crusty bread slices. The preparation emphasizes high-quality ingredients sourced to mirror the traditional taverns of Northern Spain. Diners encounter a bustling atmosphere designed to facilitate the communal sharing of multiple dishes across the table. Each creation reflects the methodical balance of simple flavors found in coastal gastronomy. The establishment functions as a specialized hub for those seeking to explore regional Spanish delicacies through a structured yet accessible format of varied, flavor-forward portions served continuously throughout the service period.

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.

Very helpful waiter, he recommended very good choices & there were really delicious, the cocktails also were amazing & they did not feel like just a juice.

Le Pintxo, le pilier du Central.

Pour la cuisson parfaite de la pieuvre & des pétoncles, pour le pas trop de chorizo, pour les papas bravas.

Pour les vins catalans & (des fois) espagnols tant blancs que rouges.

Pour le service toujours souriant, avenant, connaisseur.

Bref, un must!

Loved the food - best octopus EVER!- & the exchanges with the staff, especially Corinne & Alonso. Came back the next day because we could not think of any place where we preferred to have dinner. Thank you for the wonderful experience, we’ll be back next time in Montréal!

Très décevant le plat d'olives est arrivé avec une huile complètement figées sur les olives !!! Directement sortie du frigo!!! Faut le faire servir cela aux clients.Quand on a demandé un autre plat d'olives celles-ci ont simplement été passées sous l'eau !!! En plus des olives qui sortent directement des pots de l'épicerie! Ayoye! La salade de roquette n'est tout simplement pas fraîche. Elle commençait à jaunir :-( . Pour revenir à l'huile, la serveuse nous affirme selon le CHEF que l'huile fige car elle est de très bonne qualité & que les autres huile ...bas de gamme ne figent pas au froid, alors que toute les huiles méditerranéennes doivent être conservées à la température de la pièce & à l'abris de la lumière! Conclusion, on nous a pris pour des idiots :-(
