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.

Reviews of Santos Tapas Bar describe a vibrant Old Port venue that blends a chic, energetic dining scene with a late night club atmosphere, where the music, decor and overall vibe create memorable evenings for many guests. The menu is praised for fresh, tasty tapas and seafood and cocktails that are flavorful and well balanced, with the bar staff often noted for guiding guests through the menu and delivering well crafted drinks. At the same time several accounts highlight uneven service and long waits, especially for drinks or the bill, along with moments of disorganization, crowded seating and delays during peak hours. While the atmosphere and social energy are frequently celebrated, some diners feel portions are small or prices high relative to what is served. Safety and security concerns appear in a few reviews, including experiences with entry lines and bouncers that left some guests feeling uncomfortable, and a few comments about not feeling completely welcome. Overall Santos Tapas Bar emerges as a place that can offer excellent drinks, lively nights and high energy, but improvements in service consistency, seating logistics and safety would help ensure a standout experience for every guest.

Didn't have food. Just went in as the songs playing sounded dope & this place didn't disappoint at all. So glad I stumbled upon it! Would definitely go again. The atmosphere, the vibe, the songs the, the DJ.. everything was great!
Had a beer & calamari early in the night at Santos. Quite a nice & chill place for drinks & tapas. The tapas is not as varied as you would normally see in a Spanish bar, & the prices are definitely on the upper range. The staff are kind & the whole vibe is comfy. Music is not bad. I'll have to visit more to get a better sense of this place at different times of the night.
We dine a group of 12 paid bottle service after for clubbing & the entire night the crew kept taking our drinks that were still full. Complained to a bus boy & said he didn't care.. here to take your money.
Par où commencez? Trop de belle chose à dire 1) La nourriture 5⭐️ j'ai bien aimé les tapas 2) Très belle ambiance 3) Service impeccable de la part de notre serveuse Natalia. Nous a conseillé sur les cocktail & menu nourriture. Très bon choix Pour finir le manager est venu nous offrir des shots pour mon anniversaire Je reviendrais sûrement!!!
Nous avions reservé une table à 18h30, pour boire un verre & dîner ensuite. Le service s'est fait rapidement, tellement rapidement que mon Cocktail à été débarrassé sans mon accord avant même que je ne le termine. (À 18$ le cocktail j'aimerai pouvoir le terminer). La serveuse m'en a refait un nouveau, ce que j'ai apprécié. Pour nos tapas. 3 fois on est venu nous demander si c'était terminé alors qu'il restait des choses dedans. À 21h la serveuse & venue nous encaisser & nous à demander de quitter la table car elle était soit disant réservée ensuite alors qu'il restait de nombreuses tables, & aucune file d'attente pour manger. On nous as demandé de partir alors qu'encore une fois nos cocktails & notre planche de charcuterie n'étaient pas terminés. Jamais il n'a été mentionné de devoir quitter les lieux à 21h, ni sur la réservations, ni à notre arrivée. Bref, meme si les tapas sont bons, l'impression d'être pressés vers la sortie tout le long ne donne pas envie de revenir ou de recommander ce bar. Tres déçue du service pour le prix que l'on paye.
