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.

The service was really slow - we had to ask again & again for our drinks several time & it really ruined it for my friends & I.

Very good service & great music. However the manager chose to lie & be rude at the end instead of simply telling us that after 11 pm we should order more drinks in order to keep the table since they were other customers waiting outside. A piece of advice: be polite to the customers.
