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.

Great music & food. But because we were over 8 people we had to pay 60$ for a fixed menu which doesn't always suit everyones budget. Big hiccup on their part as 20 people were supposed to meets after dinner & were never let in even though the lad who made the reservation told me there'd be no problem.

The stars are for the hostess because we were late for our reservation & she made her best to find a way to accommodate us.

Other than that i was disappointed with the food, felt botched & it took one hour to receive it.
Music is good.

The food at this place was surprisingly good. We ordered abunch of things to share & I have to say everything was delicious. The calamari, the paella, & the beef ribs in particular were tasty. The ambiance of the place is perfect for the mid twenties to early thirties crowd. Nice decor, good music( lots of 90s music when we were there:). My only complaint was that the waitress was a bit awkward & & not as friendly as she should have been. She also kept interupting us every two seconds to ask if she could remove some of the platters which still had food in them which we thought was a bit rude because everyone was sharing & we were taking our time eating it(it was alot!). Othere than that thought, it was a great experience!
