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.

Je suis allée au Santos quelques fois dont 1 fois pour souper. C'est 5 étoiles pour l'ambiance & la musique, à chaque fois c'est un excellent party. Pour le service ça dépend; parfois le service est lent & insuffisant. C'est arrivé une fois que le maître d'hôtel soit impoli. 1 verre avec taxes & pourboire c'est ~20$, typique dans le vieux port. Le menu a plusieurs choix variés mais le prix est élevé.

Honestly, this bar is amazing. Max, one of the staff members, was very attentive & offered us fantastic recommendations for activities & places to visit in the city. Thanks to his suggestions, we enjoyed our stay to the fullest. The atmosphere of the bar is great, & the drinks are delicious. The food surprised me; it's of a really high standard! I will definitely return & recommend this place to my friends!

My beau & I popped into Santos for a drink after having dinner at a nearby restaurant. It was early, so it wasn't so busy when we arrived. We made ourselves at home at the bar where we were welcomed by the bartender, Max. We were there for more than an hour till it became too busy & conversation became a challenge. Max was lovely - charming, engaging & attentive. After a couple of drinks, I asked him to make me a mocktail that would soothe my sore throat. He created a concoction consisting of white cranberry, mint, cucumber, & soda that was delicious. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Thank you, Max!

Amazing staff in general. Very welcoming. Abraham crafted some of the best cocktails I've had in a long time & went above & beyond. Vibe was cool, great music, cozy but chic house music feel. Coming back every time I'm close by ❤️

The food & service were excellent. Very nice welcome by the maître D which made us want to stay a little longer for the club part. At that point, things started to go downhill with a manager who obviously has a Napoleon complex. It's a shame, because the place has great potential. Will return for dinner only. 5 stars for dinner. 1 star for the club.

After wandering around not knowing what we wanted to dinner we stumbled upon Santos. We were kindly greeted outside by the chicest gentleman we've ever seen. We were quickly seated & given the most incredible service. The food was unbelievably delicious, bright flavors, unique combinations & perfectly portioned. The "earth" gyoza was a must have for us, we would go back for that alone. In addition to the tentative waitstaff & the beautiful atmosphere, the happy hour drinks deal was unbeatable. For four entrees & three drinks each, we were shocked by the reasonable dare I saw inexpensive total. At the end we were lucky enough to meet Chef Anne, the creative mastermind behind the menu. The gentlemen that originally sat us generously sent us off with a yuzu sake tasting. Santos is a great recommendation for friends looking for tasty sushi & strong drinks for a great price. Also everyone that works there looks like they model.

My experience was totally contrary to the previous reviews. We were lured in with the happy hour deal (2 for 1 drinks from 5-8) & affordable+delicious sushi. We each had 3 drinks & a full meal of the best sushi I've ever had for $110 Canadian. Additionally, we meet the sushi chef & got a complimentary pallet cleanser. One of our best experiences in our long weekend in Montreal. The promoter was incredibly well dressed & did a great job, you should give him a raise.

Lo que no me gusta es en la entrada, te quedas esperando la cola y al final viene alguien que conocen y lo dejan entrar.

Drinks were delicious but sadly the service was not the best. Not very friendly & we waited forever to order a drink (the bar wasnt even that busy).

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!
