Excellent bar à tapas. Tous les plats sont réfléchis & succulents. Les cocktails étaient excellents & originaux. Nous étions en couple & avons bénéficié d'un service 5 étoiles & d'excellentes recommandations des serveurs. Je recommande de réserver au moins 24h à l'avance.

Bel endroit dans Villeray. Les tapas sont succulents & gouteux. Nous avons pris 3 tapas chacune & c'était suffisant. Les portions son quand même genereuses. Le seul hic, c'est le poulet aux olives qui était un peu trop sale. Ambiance decontractee
Booked a table on the weekday for a girl's night. The atmosphere is just perfect. The music wasn't too loud, the lights weren't too dim, & the tables weren't too cramped. The service was extremely attentive. We got our water filled every time we needed it without asking & our plates were cleared every time we finished a dish.
We ordered 8 dishes to share amongst 3. We had the leeks, scallop, octopus, green beans, chicken, veal, chorizo, & potatoes. They start you off with hickory sticks & a loaf of bread & olive oil. One thing i wished was for the bread to be warm but it was fresh room temperature bread.
Overall the experience was impeccable & I would bring friends or dates or even my family here. I'm excited to try their sister restaurant Mateo next time.

Ma copine se cherchait un bon petit restaurant pour une rencontre sa boss, j'ai immédiatement pensé à Tapeo, malheureusement elles ont été un peu déçues, bref je garde pour ma part une excellente expérience quand moi j'y suis allé.

I'm rarely this impressed with the food at a restaurant. The service was slow (they might have been short staffed that day). A little loud inside for my liking so we chose a table outside.
Toujours aussi agréable! La nourriture est excellente, le service sans faute, de bons conseils. On a essayé la terrasse cette fois, ça reste très calme par rapport à la proximité de la rue.
