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.

A surprising tapas bar in Le Central offered an exceptional degustation menu, paired with excellent wine. The service was remarkable, similar to an upscale restaurant. However, the portions were disappointingly small, leaving us to order additional food elsewhere to satisfy our hunger.

Un joli bar & un beau petit espace pour ce bar à tapas. Malheureusement, les tapas proposés ne sont pas à la hauteur (surcuisson, pas assez assaisoné, manque de saveur) & en trop faible quantité par assiette. La sangria blanche n'est pas goûteuse. Un super service néanmoins.
