Fondé en mai 2018 par sa propriétaire Yesenia Noesi, Santiago Café Restaurant vous fera découvrir les saveurs et arômes de la cuisine dominicaine. Une cuisine honnête, traditionnelle, aux accents contemporains, qui saura vous surprendre et évoquer d’heureux souvenirs de voyage. Fondée par Christophe Colomb en 1495, “ Santiago de los caballeros” est la deuxième ville la plus importante de la République Dominicaine. Notre menu rends hommage à la ville de Santiago et ses traditions: le steak américano, le poulet Don Armando, la Parrillita ou le Mofongo sont quelques unes de nos spécialités. Pour une soirée à deux ou pour une célébration en groupe, Santiago est votre petit coin du Sud à Montréal!

Service is praised as attentive and friendly, making birthdays and groups feel special, with reservations advised for larger parties. The atmosphere, value, and the chance to try a variety of dishes make it a standout option for both locals and visitors, with many noting that a trip from nearby areas is worthwhile for the experience.
The only thing that beats the delicious food served here is their outstanding service, we felt like in home in DR, food tasted like home made & coffee was amazing, only thing I missed was a hammock & a good nap , We're from NY & so far have not experienced a Dominican restaurant as good as this one, Keep it up!!!
The food is as good as or better than that in the Caribbean. We are from Puerto Rico & share similarities in our cuisines. It was the most surprising & gratifying experience to indulge in delicious tropical home-based dishes right here in Montreal. Wonderful service too!
When you enter the restaurant, you start reading all the messages written all over the walls. Very cozy environment with latino music background & superb service. It was not busy for a Friday evening. This was our first time eating mofongo & it did not disappoint. If you are a plantain lover, this is your dish! The beef mofongo was a saucy dish which went well with the mofongo, the chicken was well seasoned but it was pan fried, so it was on the dried side. Both complemented by a small salad & an amazing salsa. We also tried their sancocho & it was so rich, so flavour... if you are a soup lover, you will love it. Don't forget to ask for dessert as it is not in the menu! We had tres leches, flan de coco, & regular flan. All very good! Overall it was a great experience trying this Dominican restaurant: the food, the ambiance, the people.
Authentic Dominican Street food. Fried everything. Delicious, can't wait to go back. Good value for money too. I peaked in the kitchen & the place was spotless!
