Potatoes bravas
Andrew L.

Wanted to treat the wife to her fav paella and after a bit of research came to this. Made a rez ahead of time for 6:30 pm and they put us outside. Suppose that was fine since it was a hot summer nite and the inside was packing up. We first ordered the seafood paella and then sangria as well as a bunch of apps. Sangria was refreshing and delicious as well as all the apps. Service was fairly attentive. While not spectacular all the food was high quality. So come for a good meal and relaxing time. The paella was very good, though it came with shrimp (which was not listed on the menu as one of the seafood components-- no big deal as I wouldn't have ordered the shrimp app. All good.

So first night out in a year and a half due to confinement, i found this restaurant on Open tables it was one of the very few who had a spot left so i went for it. The reservation was for 9pm a lil late but people are eager to get out and the early bird got the worm and i made my Saturday reservation on Wednesday. I am very happy to have found this restaurant, we lucked out and got a table on the Patio which made the experience even more enjoyable, if of course you don't mind passerby peeking at your food .We had a delicious meal and delightful service. I ordered the White sangria after reading reviews and i could have drank many many pitchers it was soooo good. I had the Shrimps, Grilled Octopus and Seafood Paella, everything was delicious!!! A must try if you like typical Spanish food!!

Service was friendly and staff was super helpful with the menu. The food was fabulous, we stuck with tapas, but I'd love to come back for paella.

Crema Catalana

When I heard that the chef was from my hometown in Venezuela, I knew I had to visit; I traveled from Charlotte, NC, and came late Sunday afternoon. The food was excellent, and the place was fantastic. The quality of that grilled octopus was superb. And the socarrat on that paella was something that I'll talk about for years to come. Also, Gabriel was our waiter, and he exceeded our expectations. The whole experience was worth the entire trip to Montreal.

Valenciana Paellas

We ordered two drinks, a Valenciana Paella, a Charcuteria Mixta, and a Pulpo Asado. The drinks are okay, but the Pellas was dry and salty (my friend and I drank a lot of water after this dinner). Their service quality is awaiting for improvement. A waitress (not the girl who was in charge of our table) came for picking up the dishes, her mind was at "somewhere over the rainbow": at first, she noticed that we needed a lunch box for the paellas; but, after giving us the lunch box, she directly swept all the leftovers to the paellas we wanted to pack up (which is gross). This girl even didn't apologize for her mistake. She just walked away like nothing happened. Overall, their food is okay, but the service quality really depends on whoever serving you! It may cut off half of your pleasant experience.

We were walking by the area and found this restaurant in Montreal. They were able to find us a table prior to their reservation. Amazing Spanish food and great service.

Shrimps !
Jon B.

Came here for a business dinner ( found on Yelp as usual). A couple steps off the main strip leads you to a Spanish delight . Excellent wine selections great you on the menu followed by some Spanish favorites . We ordered everything under the sun: olives, shrimp , croquets, the board and some seasoned bread. Very good service with a lively crowd ( was surprised there were no beef selections ). Nonetheless, a solid choice for Tapas with excellent flavor, ambiance and service

olives
Christine U.

Came here when we randomly felt like tapas and I'm glad we did! It's a very cute underground-feeling place with nice rustic decor. We ordered a ton and all of it was good! Standout was the zucchini flowers. Stuffed with cheese, fried and with a sweet sauce on top. This was probably my favorite thing. Mixta charcuterie board was also very good of course, and I was happy to find out it came with the pan con tomate. Olives, boquerones and patatas bravas were pretty standard but also tasty. Steak tartare came in a hoagie roll and was a little difficult to eat. We also split a bottle of cava (had to.) Service was friendly and super quick. Would definitely come back!

Piña Colada and Basque Cheesecake

Went for my boyfriend's birthday, the food was amazing, and the presentation was pretty cool especially for the Piña Colada dessert. We also got the beef tartare, tomato salad, seafood paella and basque cheesecake, all plates I'd recommend.

Ensalada de remolacha (beet salad with fresh cheese)
Andres R.

Nice ambiance and a nice place in the plateau to have tapas. Excellent service. We really enjoyed the romantic setting, and our waiter was trilingual (Spanish/French/English). I particularly enjoyed their fried calamari with Spanish peppers and the beet salad. The croquettes or croquetas de queso and jamón were not as flavorful as expected, tasting more of bechamel sauce than anything else. The churros with chocolate sauce were freshly fried, crispy, and a delicious ending to a great evening.

Paella Pescado y Mariscos
Gabriella F.

The food was good but I've priced but the small tapas style portions. The chicken and rabbit paella was good but surprisingly small it's a big pan hit very thin. The jamon was definitely not worth it for $30/100g. But the bomba de Barcelona and the Buñuelos de bacalao were delicious. I definitely recommend those.

Mixed charcuterie and cheese, tomato bread
Jennifer M.

I'm very lucky to have found this spot through Yelp. I had an amazing meal here a couple months ago and have neglected to write a review, so it is time to rectify my mistake! I started with a glass of Cava, which is a traditional sparkling Spanish wine. For the food, we got one of the mixed jámon boards (mix of 3 cold cut meats and 2 cheeses) which comes with tomato bread. We also got a trio of croquettes - ham, cod, and braised oxtail. I liked all of them but my favorite was actually the oxtail which was rich and deeply flavored. We then tried the fried eggplant with yogurt, honey and feta cheese, which was mind-blowing....easily my favorite dish. Lastly, we also shared the tapas sized octopus which was tender and slightly smokey. Since tapas are meant for sharing I had room for dessert so the choice was the churros with chocolate dipping sauce. I could have licked the plate and bowl clean because I have a serious love of chocolate, and these little bites of heaven were light and not greasy. This is a perfect spot for a date, a 5 à 7 with co-workers, a girls night out or any occasion really. They also have a nice little terrasse so get out there!

Went for brunch in a group of 8 for a UYE- Unofficial Yelp Event. I reserved our table the very night before our set date, (truthfully because I kept forgetting the previous evenings while they were open), the reservation was quick and painless and there was no issues with my last minute stunt. Showing up for opening time the following day (Saturday), we saw we didn't quite necessarily need the reservation, we had the place pretty much to ourselves for most of our brunch. We all had such a good time eating and chatting, we stayed a good 2 hours, I believe, and no one made us feel rushed or unwelcome. Food, some 5 star affairs. Some pretty unfortunate and blatant 3 star affairs. One unfortunate disastrous odour, imo. The unpredictability of a good menu choice and the awful odour inflicted upon the whole is where I remove the half a star. So, 4.5 stars rounded up. I really appreciated the pricing and options of their brunch menu, for 20$ you choose an entrée and a main which comes with a side. However, coffee not included in that price and they don't have filtre coffee. Unfortunately I was quite disappointed with the "café au lait" I did order, they brought me a latté instead (even though they stated yes when I asked if they had café au lait, yes there's a difference ppl) and it was a very weak, small latté at that. I didn't catch the price, but next time I'll just stick w water, wine or mimosas. For my choices I had the eggs benedict, side of brussel sprout salad and entrée of charcuterie. One of my friends was sure to order the other side option (fruit salad) and a different entrée (the cheese platter) and we shared everything. Meats and cheeses: phenomenal!!! Soooo coming back here specifically for wine n charcuterie and cheese! They do this soooooo well here I can't begin to describe, the meats melt away in your mouth like butter, the cheeses are individually unique and globally perfect, including the lovely little (we believe rhubarb?) jam that accompanied. If not for anything just come for these! Hollandaise for my main was watery, bland and definitely wayyy not enough. Poached eggs too bland for the deep fried cornbread patties they were served on, not enough meat for the cornbread, but when I scraped off all the meat and egg and hollandaise off to eat separately for the 2nd half it was a lot more flavourful and enjoyable. The cornbread really dulls this whole plate and should consider being replaced. The brussel sprout salad entrée was divine! I would order that a thousand times over, it was definitely better than the fruit salad imo. My friend ordered the Tota? Torta? I can't remember the name of it, but we shared bites with most of the table and everyone agreed: he won brunch. It was a fried egg-based potato casserole and he paid the extra 4$ surcharge to have it with Ibericos ham - definitely the right choice. If this is on their brunch menu do not even hesitate on any other choice, just order this and send me a thank you after. Just as we finished eating, the table next to us ordered/received their paella for the family served in a huge skillet...the overwhelming odour of pungent fish invaded the whole dining area and my friend insisted I go outside for respite because as someone who doesn't like fish, it was just all too much for me to bare. 10 minutes later the odour had subsided enough to be tolerable, but had I still been eating when it arrived it would have certainly ruined my meal. At one point my friend dropped his fork, no harm no foul, he just simply picked it back up and put it aside to ask for a new one. Before we even got the chance, one of the super efficient ladies serving us appears out of no where with both a fork and knife in hand inquiring which utensil needed replacement. We were floored. (Pun intended, why not.) That never happens in a restaurant. Ever. These people don't wait to be told or asked to do their job, they are always listening and paying attention to their customers and what you're saying which is a highly impressive quality I barely see at $$$ + establishments let alone an affordable bargain like this spot. So yes, I highly recommend checking out this tapas spot. Make sure to order many items, that way the 3 star affairs don't underwhelm and undermine the 5 star recognition this place actually deserves. And while most people freak out about the Ibericos Ham, if you have to choose, I really must insist the Chorizo is the better way to go: that stuff is killer addictive!

Came here for a reservation with a big group of 17 for a friend's Bach dinner during our trip to…read moreMontreal after doing research and I'm happy to report that it did not disappoint. I wanted to share my experience because their online and in person menu is quite ambiguous and doesn't do justice in explaining their tasting menus. What I really like about this restaurant is that unlike many, they don't make everyone order the same thing. It just requires a minimum of 2 people for the tasting menu and everyone else can order what they please otherwise. The $55 tasting menu is pretty worth it imo. The fact that a drink alone is about $17 as is makes it worth, because it comes with multiple tapas and a drink of choice. The server tried his best to explain everything to us beforehand, but we couldn't help but start to worry during the meal when a few plates came out and we hadn't seen anything for a while. Basically, there are 3 courses, and each course contains multiple items which come out pretty quickly all at once. We started off with lighter apps like edamame, karaage, gyoza, and Japanese pasta. There will be a waiting period before the next course comes out (but don't panic like we did, it doesn't end here). The second course contained tuna poke, a vegetable dish, beef tataki, and takoyaki. There is another waiting period before the third (and heaviest) course comes out. We received pork ribs (a crowd favourite), salmon, and a watermelon salad to end. There were definitely more dishes that I'm forgetting but by the end of it we were all stuffed and pleasantly surprised with the variety we received and unanimously thought it was pretty worth. The restaurant environment is also such a vibe... just a great social setting overall. We had some people in our group that opted out of the tasting menu and decided to share à la carte style, and they also enjoyed their meal and thought it was worth it too. I'd highly recommend this spot as it was a highlight during our trip.

Staff was very nice…read moreespecially the recommended that sit at the bar since that seems to be where everything is happening. The only issue is that the bar seat area was pretty tight against the seated tables around so whenever someone passes by I usually get my back brushed or sometimes pushed so be aware. The lighting is somewhat dim to keep that sort of cozy vibe. Bartender was friendly and patient with my drink order, which ended up just being a beer. 4/5 SAUMON BONBONS: Salmon well fried but dtill moist. The sweet sauce mixed well and definitely goes well with beer. 3.5/5 Bacon mochi good and super chewy but def will fill u up quick. Coleslaw nice offset and tangy. I liked the first couple chews but then started getting really filled so was experiencing the too much eats before being able try anything else. Overall great place to go with date or group. Its a bit noisy so plan accordingly.

Our first day in Montreal and we were walking down the street looking for lunch. We stumbled on…read moreKYK's and liked the look of this classic pub. So in we go! There was a nicely selected set of local beers on the menu. We had a few and they were great. I won't detail them as I think the selection changes routinely. It was tough to decide what to get. I was poutine-curious but was unsure about the foie gras gravy. Andrew ordered the poutine with the duck confit. He loved it and said it was among the best poutine he has had. I went for the traditional mussels as Andrew said this is a thing to get in Montreal, they will do it well. He was right, the bowl was huge and the mussels and sauce were excellent. The only thing I would change is I like a baguette with mussels more than fries so if that is an available substitution I would be all in. I loved this place, I would go back again when I return to Montreal.

NYKS has a proper Guinness pint, which I can appreciate. I ordered the French Onion Soup and the fish and chips. Both were AMAZING. The French onion soup was good, hot, very beefy. The fish and chips had a light but crispy batter on the outside and perfectly flaky fish. Top notch. The place really cleared out by the time we were done at eight, so might recommend coming later if you don't want to wait. Overall, great place. I would definitely recommend.

The service was friendly but they seemed short staffed that night. We were trying to refill our water glasses but it took a while since I couldn't find any waiter or waitress around.
