El Pintxo est un restaurant basque espagnol, proposant des bouchées à partager pleines de saveurs et une sélection de vin d'importation privée unique !
Les avis convergent sur Pintxo comme une adresse de tapas où les plats sont bien faits et bien servis, avec des coups de coeur pour le poulpe, les côtelettes d'agneau et les calmars, qui rivalisent de tendreté et de saveur, et une carte des vins et des cocktails qui viennent compléter l'expérience; beaucoup apprécient la formule midi et le rapport qualité-prix, ainsi que le service attentif et l ambiance conviviale qui donnent l impression d un vrai restaurant, même dans un cadre décontracté; certaines critiques pointent des portions parfois petites pour le prix, des écarts ponctuels en cuisine ou en hygiène, et un cadre parfois bruyant, mais l ensemble des retours demeure positif, mettant en lumière le charme du lieu, l excellence du poulpe et des plats d agneau, et l envie de revenir.
I recently visited Montreal & had the pleasure of dining here with my sister-& what a wonderful experience it was! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming & vibrant. The service was attentive, friendly, & genuinely warm, which made us feel right at home.
The food was absolutely exceptional. Every dish we tried was full of flavor, beautifully presented, & clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. We enjoyed every bite! The octopus & lamb chops were out of this world.
Pixtos is the kind of place that leaves a lasting impression-not just for its delicious cuisine, but for the way it makes you feel like a special guest. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Montreal. We'll definitely be coming back!
En voyage, une amie locale a eu la bonne idée de me suggérer le pintxo pour ma première sortie à Montréal. Un sans faute. Scallops, Octopus, salad... délicieux. Service parfait & mention particulière à notre serveuse Corinne très pro & super agréable à la fois. Excellente adresse .
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.
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!
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.
