Super bar à tapas dans le complexe'le central' sur la rue Sainte-Catherine. Food court Haut de gamme. Nous avons décidé de faire notre première expérience de ce centre au Pintxo car nous avions été en Espagne & on voulait revivre un peu notre expérience passée. Pas de déception tout était vraiment bon le service était vraiment exceptionnel nous étions devant le chef & en plus toute l'équipe était vraiment extraordinaire. Pour ceux qui aiment les restaurants très tranquille, ce n'est pas votre place, il y a une ambiance assez élevée en décibels car plusieurs restos un à côté de l'autre, mais moi c'est mon style.. j'aime. Nous nous sommes gâtés avec 5 beaux tapas dans un spécial du chef. Les textures le goût les cuissons parfaites, le rêve quoi. Déjà plusieurs visites à ce bar & Alonso est toujours aussi agréable.

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.

Hard to not give this place 5 stars.
Ate like a king, great food. However the service was slow to start & was on fast forward after it started. Trying to get a third service in I guess. Either way, 210$ for 2 people jnclud8ng a bottle of cava. Amazing value. The atmosphere however is far from romantic. Loud disco music. Lots of peeps.

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.

On s'ennuie de l'ancien resto du Plateau Mt-Royal. Bouffe très ordinaire, rien de relevé, musique très forte. À mon avis à éviter car de bons tapas ce n'est pas ça !
