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.

Nous y sommes allés pour un ladies night un mardi soir (le 14 mai 2024) nous voulions profiter du menu 40$ alcool à volonté lorsqu'on se présente on remarque que malgré le menu en ligne avec option végé ils les ont retiré du menu donc pas d'options vege/ vegan (pourquoi?) OK pas de problème on va faire avec mais après avoir commander nous devons attendre jusqu'à 25 minutes pour recevoir un verre de vin maison (est-elle partie la chercher à sa maison?!) Nous nous disons c'est un ladies night ça doit être normal mais non en fait le restaurant est presque vide malgré la musique mais sans crainte les serveuses aiment papoter le vin n'est pas si loin finalement pour vrai opportunité manqué & la seule bonne nouvelle est qu'ils sont un abonnement costco pour les tartares de thon donc au moins ils auront retour sur achat sauver votre aller vous même acheter votre thon & litre de vin au Costco

The food was great, & that's the main thing. The atmosphere is super loud, & it's hard for the server to do much in that environment, so while it isn't my thing, it's not fair to remove any stars. So, five stars, would not go back :)
