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.

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.

We found this place while wandering around Old Montreal. Saw the sign for happy hour & found out they were 2 for 1. The bartender was very friendly & gave us great service. We ordered th Calamari, & it took a very long time to get it. The bartender apologized & gave us 2 shooters on the house. While the Calamari was not the greatest, we still enjoyed it. We are going back for the happy hour.
What a great find. Nice atmosphere, excellent food at reasonable prices, & their happy hour is two for one, where one drink alone is at a reasonable price. Their IPA on draft was excellent: L-Apocalypso. Happy hour includes beer, wine, & mixed drinks. They have vegetarian options. Try them!
Santos was super fun;) would definitely recommend. We were served by the lovely Morgane & she really gave us the best experience! Ask for her if you go!
Food was amazing, great staff & service! Thank you for a great night of food & drinks. Special shoutout to Morgane she did some cocktails for us & they were great she has a great vibe!
Cette place ont toujours de très bonnes chansons! PARCONTRE!!! On est en sueur après quelques minutes. Il y a des " air clim " mais on ne sent AUCUNEMENT leurs fonctionnement. Laisser une porte ouverte aurait pu faire une différence!
