ORIGINS OF SANTOS
All the streets in Old Montreal are named after saints. Located on the corner of Saint Paul and Saint François Xavier and given that the food served is Spanish, it was only natural to name place "Saints" in Spanish.

Review Summary

Overall, Santos Tapas Bar is described as a lively, welcoming spot where the vibe, food, and drinks are frequently praised, with a warm, attentive service noted by many and a vibrant atmosphere that can shift from dinner to a nightclub after hours. The menu is highlighted for flavorful dishes and inventive cocktails, while some reviews mention slow or inconsistent service at peak times and portions that some feel are small for the prices. Across the board, guests appreciate the energy, the music, and the sense of value when it works, and many say they would return to enjoy the experience again.

Staff was super nice but the service was a really long honestly... We waited 30 mins for drinks a couple times during the night, which can really slow down an evening.

But the food was delicious & the ambiance is amazing!

The service was really slow - we had to ask again & again for our drinks several time & it really ruined it for my friends & I.

Very good service & great music. However the manager chose to lie & be rude at the end instead of simply telling us that after 11 pm we should order more drinks in order to keep the table since they were other customers waiting outside. A piece of advice: be polite to the customers.

The horrible service spoiled our night. We came for drinks, the service was dreadful, & they rushed us out. Avoid at all costs.

Je suis allee y prendre un verre au printemps dernier à l'apéro. C'était un vendredi soir, le service était vraiment mauvais. Ça a pris une éternité avant d'avoir notre premier cocktail, encore plus avant d'avoir notre premier tapas...mais pourtant le resto n'était pas bondé du tout & il y avait beaucoup de personnel. Nous avons tout de meme recommande un autre verre, mais après 30 minutes sans l'avoir le serveur est venu nous donner l'addition (pourtant nous étions prêts à prendre davantage de tapas). Le tapas & le.drink étaient bons, sans plus
