The Spanish tradition of sipping a glass of wine or a cool draft while munching on tapas (appetizer-sized dishes) comes alive in Mile End with a special Mediterranean touch.
Heavy On Taste Light On Your Wallet If your mouth is watering in anticipation but your mind is dreading the bill, be reassured. The tapas here remain very affordable, which allows you to experiment with various flavours and make it home without depleting your wallet. Alcohol-wise, the bar has various scotches, ports, Spanish wines, beers and cocktails. Happy hour always starts at 4pm but ends at different times depending on the day.
Exotic Surroundings Bar Taza Flores’ mismatched chairs, various paintings and exotic paraphernalia ranging from antiques to more modern and funky objects make you relax as soon as you enter. Montrealers, known for their love of terraces, can continue their love affair with the outdoors and sip a glass under the sun, weather permitting.

Taza Flores offers a market fresh, seasonally driven menu built around sharing plates that showcase inventive flavor pairings and elegant presentations. The atmosphere blends casual warmth with a refined, intimate vibe and a welcoming staff described as friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The kitchen is praised for high quality ingredients, thoughtful technique and a genuinely authentic hospitality that makes guests feel at home.

The place is repeatedly described as one of the best dining experiences in Montreal and a definite go to for food lovers.
Went on a date Friday evening here. Service was fantastic. Waiter made recommendations. Haloumi salad, grilled rapini, salmon gravlax, eggplant & lamb meatballs, & the beef tartare were all excellent. Had been there about 8-9 years ago. Forgot how good this place is.
Une institution du Mile End! J'ai toujours aimé l'endroit, mais la nouvelle direction culinaire est INCROYABLE. Tout était délicieux. Notre endroit préféré pour une date 🥰 Must Have: Hamachi, tataki & rapini

It was hot in the restaurant, but the servers were accommodating despite us not having a reservation. We shared two dishes, the halloumi mango salad & grilled octopus. The halloumi was a little over done & the salad a little soggy. The octopus arrived also overcooked & not hot. Considering the prices i'd have expected quality. It is a very cute spot, just think it's a bit overpriced for what you get.

Une belle découverte! Tout était très bon! Une variété de plats très frais. Ambiance & décor très chaleureux. Nous étions 4 & avons choisi 9 plats à partager & c'était suffisant.
Nous avons passé une excellente soirée dans cet endroit convivial, chaleureux où la cuisine est délicieuse & l'accueil très bon. Nous étions un groupe d'une 12aine de personnes pour souligner un anniversaire & tout le monde a aimé son expérience. Belle ambiance & personnel aux petits soins pour que tout se passe bien. Nous recommandons sans hésiter!
Tapas savouvreux, prix raisonnables, personnel sympathique. Les portions pourraient être légèrement plus grosses, mais évidemment, ça dépend avec combien de personnes les tapas dont partagés.
La chose qui surprend le plus, c'est le volume de la musique; très forte. Des pointes à 80 dB durant l'heure du souper, ce n'est pas fréquent. Si je compare avec «La Cage aux Sports», le «Rooster's», ou ailleurs, habituellement après 21 heures le volume est augmenté & les lumières diminuées, pour se transformer l'ambiance. Le service est professionnel, & pour la cuisine, je me serais attendu à quelque chose de mieux. Un tataki qui baignait dans du liquide, & un tartare haché trop gros. Attention aux tables faites de planches de bois, c'est très instable pour un verre à vin.
