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.

the servers try to get 30% tips from us she even try to put it in the machine without our consent & didn't want to split the bills correctly & that's with the fact she brought us 1 bill without asking who pay what.

We were here on a Saturday night with a group of 6 people. It was our 3rd stop for the night. Service was so slow that it killed the buzz & we just wanted our drinks so we could pay & head back to the hotel. We were there for over 30mins before we got our drinks.

L'endroit est joli. Par contre, le service laisse franchement à désirer. Dès que nous sommes arrivées moi & mes 4 amies, nous avons vite compris que nous n'étions pas les bienvenues alors que l'endroit était mort... La serveuse était peu complaisante avec nous, alors qu'elle donnait son 100% avec les tables masculines. Ensuite, nous nous sommes fait dire, une fois la commande passée, que la table était réservée une heure plus tard. Bref, après avoir reçu notre sangria nous avons vite changé d'endroit.
