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.

J'ai découvert ce restaurant il y a de cela quelques semaines. Niveau ambiance j'étais déçu il n'y avait personne ( peut être à cause du jour ou de l'heure ).
Les lieux sont propres, il y a de la bonne musique, les plats étaient excellents, j'avais commandé des huîtres & des pâtes au homard, mais en sortant j'avais toujours faim & c'était dommage vu les prix. Mais le plus décevant fut la serveuse qui ,même si était aimable au début, a été désagréable en fessant des réflexions sur le fait de ne pas laisser de pourboire j'ai trouvé cela très déplacé. Je comprends que leur travail peut être dur mais lorsque la serveuse passe son temps sur le téléphone lors du service, qu'elle devient désagréable quand on ne lui laisse pas de pourboire & vu la quantité/prix c'était justifié. Je rappel que le pourboire n'est pas obligatoire.
Ce fut malgré tout une belle découverte.
