The place is repeatedly described as one of the best dining experiences in Montreal and a definite go to for food lovers.
Exceptional restaurant! We stopped here because it was close, but wow what a win! The food was incredible tapas. The server was the owner & even took time write us a list of must check spots in the area & gave us some new drinks he was testing. Really solid experience, food was to die for, would return tomorrow if there wasn't a whole city to check out first.
The only reason atmosphere was marked a 4, is because we were the only ones there. Sounds like it was a fluke slow night, there's no way it's slow like that very often with such food, service, & beautiful setting.
Taza Flores is a great restaurant to visit if you enjoy food that is as delicious as it is beautiful!
I have had the privilege of trying most of the items on the menu & everything the chefs create is amazing.
Their seasonal menus are worth going out to try, I dream of their autumn drink😍

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!
Went for a date on a cold winter Wednesday so the restaurant was about half full. We were seated quickly & service all night was extremely fast. There was about 1 staff member to every 2 tables so we got excellent & constant service (for water, drinks etc). We had ordered a variety of dishes of which I thought the best was Hangar Steak, Beef Tartare & the Hamachi. We also ordered the Broccoloni, Duck, Beet Salad & the Potato Mille Fille. Nothing was bad but I found the Potato the least flavorful & tasty. The dessert menu was pretty limited with the only options being a Tiramisu or a Citrus & Pistachio Yuzu. We shared the tart which was delicious. Overall had a great experience, nice ambience, friendly helpful staff & the food was very good. I don't really think it was worth the price if done frequently but once in a while is nice.
I went last night with a friend for my birthday, it was our first time trying Taza Flores & we were so excited as we had heard about how amazing the food is. The food was excellent, however I am not sure if I have ever received worse service in my life. We were seated right away when we walked in & the restaurant was relatively empty at this point. 20 minutes later no one had come to see us. When we finally asked the bus girl if we could maybe order a drink our waiter finally came over. He then wanted us to order our food right away. We received our food not long after, & I must say it was all very very good. Our waiter never once came to see how we were doing, if we were enjoying our food, never poured any of the expensive wine that we ordered…we sat with our empty plates until we had to get up to find someone to ask for our bill. We were going to order dessert, but we couldn't find someone to even ask. For me service is a huge part of a dining experience. Although our meal was delicious, my friend & I left with a very irritated & disappointed feeling. Not sure if the food alone is enough to make me want to go back, which is unfortunate.
