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

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.

Trop dispendieux pour ce qui est offert. Portion ridiculement petite pour le menu de groupe. Je n'ai jamais vu cela ailleurs à Montréal. Trop dispendieux pour la qualité des produits. Ambiance de danse/music mais impossible de danser donc musique trop forte pour rien. Devrait s'ajuster au contexte de pandémie.

Went on ladies night & they really did a great job of making the place feel fun & sexy in a way that will appeal to women, definitely recommending this place the next time we're getting a group of girls together for a night out. You'll want to dress up :)

Staff was super nice but the service was a really long honestly... We waited 30 mins for drinks a couple times during the night, which can really slow down an evening.

But the food was delicious & the ambiance is amazing!
