Overall Pintxo comes across as a memorable tapas destination that delivers tasty food, friendly service, and a lively atmosphere that leaves a lasting impression on guests.
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!

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 :-(

First off, the restaurant inside is very small, we were a party of 13 & took up most of the space in the front. There were two other small tables in the front & two in the back., there is also a bar area & a small terrace in front. We went there for a birthday celebration & none of us had been there before. We thought we would give it a try due to all the rave reviews. Our reservation was at 6:00, & we ordered drinks right away. We chose to order from the tapas(entree) menu instead of the main dish menu, (which did not have a large choice to begin with), so that we could try many different things. We were told by the waitress that the dishes(tapas) were small but that they can be shared between two people, therefore 4-5 dishes amongst 2 people. This was not even the case since the dishes were too small to share. For example, the dish with the ravioli had only two raviolis on it. There were several dishes like that, too small to share, such as the beet tartare & salmon tartare(which was one of their best dishes). Their octopus salad was one dish that could have been shared as well & which was not bad. But even that did not impress me too much, since I am greek & eat octopus here & in Greece quite often. The worst dish was the grilled vegetables dishes (which was big enough to share), we had ordered two & they were one of the ones that were forgotten & brought to us near the end. The vegetables were completely raw, they just had a bit of grill marks on them just to say that they were put onto the grill & with a bit of oil. Completely tasteless & hard as if you took them out of the fridge & threw them into the bowl. We also found that the tapas were expensive considering their size, average was $8/ dish (ex: for 2 regular-sized raviolis!!!) The service was very slow & our waitress was completely lost. Not only did five people still not half of their order at 8:15 but we were suppose to be out of the restaurant by 8:30 for the next seating. In the end she even got the bills wrong. She charged one person for 12 items instead of 8, even though those items were charged on someone else's bill already. This was brought to her attention. We wanted to really like this place since it seemed like a quant little place but I don't think any of us will be returning again, there are too many other places in Montreal to try rather than a place that did not leave an impression the first time around.
C'était une déception, c'est le genre de restaurant où vous ne savez pas pourquoi on vous apporte la facture. Les portions sont certes de qualité mais très très petites & très chères. Si vous voulez manger de l'espagnol il y a à Montréal des biens meilleurs choix.
Attendez vous à payer minimum 85$ par personne sans boisson, car les bouchées sont très petites, bien que succulantes. La serveuse était très sympathique & connaissante du menu.
Nous avons trouvez ce petit resto sur internet & nous avons été charmé... L'ambiance est chaleureuse, on nous explique bien le concept & les choix du menu... Belle Carte des vins avec plusieurs importations privées... C'est une belle découverte & je le recommande vraiment...
Bel endroit. Même si ce n'est pas très grand on ne s'y sent pas étouffé. Belle décoration. Service impeccable & excellents tapas. Difficile de faire un choix. Tout est délicieux.
