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.

Ace est vraiment trop drôle & gentil ! Demandez toujours pour lui & nous ne serez pas déçu !🔥🔥🔥🔥

Par contre, notre serveuse n'était vraiment pas présente… Elle était constamment cachée à parler à d'autres serveuses dans un coin, elle n'est jamais venue vérifier si tout se passait bien, je retire une étoile au service juste pour ça. Son service était vraiment mauvais & même au moment de payer on a attendu un bon 5 min après elle qu'elle finisse de flirter avec un de ses collègues pour qu'on ait l'addition.. les plats étaient bons, mais les quantités trop peu suffisantes, & vu leur prix, on a préféré finir notre soirée ailleurs où les quantités seraient + généreuses.. c'est vraiment dommage car l'ambiance a l'air bonne mais si les serveuses ne s'occupent pas de leur table & que ce sont d'autres personnes qui le font, ça donne pas une bonne image de l'endroit.

Merci au gérant qui a pris les photos ! Très aimable !!! 😁😁
