Reviews describe Pintxo as a warmly welcoming tapas spot with attentive service and a lively, authentic vibe, where a creative, well presented menu features standout dishes like octopus, lamb, scallops, and haloumi salad, and where the wine selection is praised and prices are often described as good value for the quality; dietary restrictions are handled with care, and many feel the experience is memorable and worth returning for, though some notes mention small portions for the price, occasional saltiness in a dish, and a few visits where ambience or cleanliness raised questions.
Le personnel étais super accueillant & souriant. Pour 2 personnes nous avons pris & testé 5 plats différents qui étaient tous ultra bons, produits frais, belle présentation. Je recommande amplement d'aller découvrir ce restaurant!!!
Die in heaven tonight!! I was surprised it is located in a food court, really enjoyed the lively vibe there. Excellent food & friendly staff with great recommendation & service. Surely going to return to this soon!!😍🤤

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.
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.

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
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.
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!
