The place is repeatedly described as one of the best dining experiences in Montreal and a definite go to for food lovers.
From the very beginning, the experience was excellent: we made a reservation & everything was perfectly organized. The place looks beautiful, with a cozy atmosphere & a décor that makes you want to stay. The soft lighting & the style of the space make it feel special from the very first moment.
As for the food, the dishes were truly delicious. There are plenty of options to try, & each one surprises with its mix of flavors, making the culinary experience even more interesting. I highly recommend the'Beef Tataki.'
The staff was extremely kind & attentive to every detail. We were welcomed with a smile, & throughout the evening they made sure we had everything we needed. Their warmth made the experience feel like having dinner with friends. Definitely a place I would go back to & highly recommend.
Kind, professional & attentive service throughout. Excellent wine recommendations. Food was delicious & plated in an appetizing manner. Good portion size for sharing. Friendly upbeat place with good music. Thank you for the welcome & delightful few hours.
We had a fantastic dinner here! The food was absolutely delicious-bursting with flavor & beautifully presented. The sharing-style concept was perfect for the two of us, allowing us to try a variety of dishes & enjoy them together at a relaxed pace.
The staff really stood out-they were warm, attentive, & explained each dish in detail. It was clear they had a deep understanding of the menu, which made the experience feel even more special.
I repeated a previous diners comments as I share them wholeheartedly.
The atmosphere is wonderful & the noise level was no issue at all for us.
We had an incredible experience at Taza Flores! Under new ownership, the restaurant is clearly headed in a fantastic direction - the atmosphere is warm & inviting, & the market fresh menu is absolutely spectacular. We went as a family of four & were so well taken care of from the moment we arrived.
The service was friendly, attentive, & thoughtful, & every dish we tried was bursting with flavour & beautifully prepared. A perfect spot for sharing delicious food & enjoying great company. We'll definitely be back!
The food was divine, tasty & quite ample for'tapas'. We ordered two dishes each & it was plenty. The wine list was fascinating; the sommelier/owner was a great help to choosing a wine based on our meal. Tommy the waiter
was attentive & not overbearing. The food was priced well; the wine was very pricey & no less expensive choices... $16/glass ++ All said, well recommended.

The only downside was the noise level. Once the restaurant filled up, it got quite loud, & we had trouble hearing each other at times. Still, the amazing food & excellent service more than made up for it. We'd definitely come back!

What an amazing dining experience. For more than reasonable pricing, we received exceptionally unique dishes in an atmospheric environment. Beyond this, the service was incredibly attentive. Eli, along with the other staff, went above & beyond. We can't wait to return here in the future.
The food & drinks were both incredible & fairly priced for the quality you got. Eli & the rest of the staff were all incredibly attentive & helpful. I will absolutely be returning & telling friends & family
Overall, Taza Flores is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a fantastic meal in a charming setting. We were told that the new owner/executive chef has made some wonderful changes since coming onboard five months ago. The cocktails were on point (recommend the Gimlet!) & the wine suggested by the waiter was fantastic. We chose to have the following which were all delicious : beet salad, hamachi, mozzarella, tortellini, strip loin for two, finishing off with a decadent baked Alaska. Waitstaff was friendly & super attentive! This is a great date night, friends catch up or after work drinks & dinner place. Definitely a favourite going forward!
