Resto délicieux, service incroyable 🤩 nous avons adoré notre expérience. Le partage de tapas est un must, une 60taines de dollars & 4 services.
Notre préféré a été le thon albacore 🩷
La pieuvre était bonne, mais nous avons trouvé le combo avec la patate douce & l'orange un peu trop sucré. Le tartare était délicieux, ainsi que les croquettes de morues. Le poulet aux olives, le veau & les haricots étaient bien bons.
Nous n'avons pas trippé sur l'onglet de boeuf & le bikini.
Les churros étaient bons, mais rendu là nous n'avions vraiment plus faim 😅
🚾 Il y a 3 toilettes portes qui se ferment, évier commun.
Super service. Nous avons avisé nos allergies, & j'ai été traité comme un roi. Les repas sont tous très bons & biens présentés. J'ai adoré merci de nous avoir reçu. 🍾👌

WOW .One of the best restaurants in the city of Montreal by a very long shot. We had some friends over from Florida with us & we were 6 people on a Tuesday evening & there's nothing we've had that was good. The paella was succulent, the appetizers were exquisite. From the bikini, the spinach, the mushrooms, the meatballs, the papas bravas, the cod balls & many more. Mind you, we were a mix of Haitian, Cuban, Dominican & Romanian, so when you have people from different corners of the world, agreeing on the quality of the food. Pmus the service was A5 quality.
There's no denying it. Honestly this kitchen was out of control.
Nous avons visité ce restaurant un dimanche soir de la fête des Mères, & malgré l'affluence, l'expérience fut impeccable du début à la fin.
Nous avons choisi plusieurs assiettes à partager : ceviche de pétoncles, calmars frits, tartare de boeuf & un plat de pieuvre chacun. Les pétoncles étaient frais & légers, parfaits pour commencer. Les calmars, quant à eux, étaient frits à la perfection, croustillants sans être gras. La pieuvre grillée, servie avec une purée de patates douces, agrumes & oignons, a été le coup de coeur de la soirée : une véritable explosion de saveurs.
En résumé, un excellent rapport qualité-prix, une cuisine raffinée & un service irréprochable. Je recommande vivement cette adresse, que ce soit pour une occasion spéciale ou simplement pour bien manger dans une ambiance détendue.
