The atmosphere is electric, with the perfect blend of chic décor, great music, & that unique Old Port vibe that makes every night feel special. The food & drinks were on point - flavorful, creative, & clearly made with care.
A special shout-out to Genieve, the supervisor, who took the experience to another level. Her professionalism, warm personality, & attention to detail made us feel genuinely welcome. She checked in on us multiple times, made thoughtful recommendations, & ensured everything was perfect from start to finish. It's rare to see that level of service, & she delivered it with ease & a great attitude.

The vibes, the cocktails, the food… but most importantly the service!!!
Gen is the BEST! She helped us with everything from start to finish, the service was friendly, attentive & welcoming. I can safely say she made us the best margaritas in Montreal.
Santos is a coup de coeur, the dancing after was the best! Big thanks for the great night!!!

Nous avons eu le plaisir d'être servis par Gen, dont les recommandations ont été parfaites du début à la fin.
Chaque plat était un véritable délice : le ceviche de crevettes, frais & raffiné ; le tuna tartare en tacos, plein de saveurs ; la lobster pasta & sans oublier le picanha steak & sa sauce exceptionnelle.
Les crevettes croustillantes & le guacamole complétaient parfaitement ce repas mémorable.
Un grand merci à la magnifique Gen, dont l'attention & les conseils ont sublimé notre expérience.

Je viens à Santos régulièrement autant durant les heures d'ouvertures que durant le club!
L'ambiance est toujours bonne.
Les jeudi huîtres à 1,50$ est un incontournable & leur nouveau menu est insane !!
Le staff & la gérante gen sont toujours très accueillant!
Je recommande

Bonne Musique, mais ils acceptent des gens pas net à l'entrée. En tant que fille on se sent pas en sécurité. Les videurs sont censés trier...

Je ne recommande pas le forfait groupe 3 service , plat à partager portion petites & mal divisé (un morceau de lime pour 4 personne qu'on devait partager ) , le riz du sushi était à moitié cru , le reste de la nourriture était pas wow , on a attendu 40 minutes pour le deuxième service puis l'ambiance boff ils jouaient les mêmes 5 musique de 2014-2015 à répétition tout le long , le dj refuse les demande de chansons aussi. On est parti plus tôt que prévu
Ah & un cocktail de genre 30 ml c'est 20$
Les employés sont gentils.

After wandering around not knowing what we wanted to dinner we stumbled upon Santos. We were kindly greeted outside by the chicest gentleman we've ever seen. We were quickly seated & given the most incredible service. The food was unbelievably delicious, bright flavors, unique combinations & perfectly portioned. The "earth" gyoza was a must have for us, we would go back for that alone. In addition to the tentative waitstaff & the beautiful atmosphere, the happy hour drinks deal was unbeatable. For four entrees & three drinks each, we were shocked by the reasonable dare I saw inexpensive total. At the end we were lucky enough to meet Chef Anne, the creative mastermind behind the menu. The gentlemen that originally sat us generously sent us off with a yuzu sake tasting. Santos is a great recommendation for friends looking for tasty sushi & strong drinks for a great price. Also everyone that works there looks like they model.
