Got the El Bocodillo sandwich for brunch and it was amazing! The ambiance was also great for a Saturday afternoon- big windows and a lot of natural light. Above all our server was delightful! Some of the best service I've had in recent memory; Laura was pleasant, responsive, and overall made our visit into one of the highlights of our trip. read more

A lovely French Spanish inspired cuisine in Old Montreal. The food was super tasty and the presentation was very eye catching. Plus the staff was super friendly and chatty. A romantic setting to start our return trip to Montreal. read more

Excellent food and service. Spanish tortilla is not really Spanish tortilla, but it great. Salads are great. Paella was excellent. Terrific service. read more

Our first visit and after reading all the good reviews, was extremely disappointed by the quality of the food. Ordered two soups that were delivered well after our plates arrived and also delivered without spoons, which had to be pointed out to the server. The mussel soup had decent flavor, but with only three tiny mussels, it didn't live up to the price. The French onion soup was gelatinous and for sure the worst we've ever had... it was returned and to their credit, was not charged on the final bill. The tomato bread lacked flavor and lastly, the cod fritters were gummy and very unappetizing. I almost forgot to mention the red sangria, completely watery and lacking red wine, we were however satisfied that the server granted our request to bring a small portion of wine to add to our glass to salvage an otherwise poor cocktail. The ambiance was good and the place has potential, just lacking in the execution department on all fronts. read more

Most expensive meal in Montreal. Floor to ceiling windows. CAN$9 lentil soup portion size was tiny, and the soup was not as thick as I would have liked. CAN59$ Spanish style fish and seafood parrillada came with 20 mussels, 5 shrimp, 3 clams, several pieces of white fish, along with wedges of potatoes over a ratatouille sauce with a rich tomato taste. Thought this was seafood paella, but didn't come in a pot with crusted rice. Good portion, but the seafood got cold right away. CAN34$ fish of the day was swordfish with vegetables. Delicately flaked white fish, very tender to eat, buttery melt in your mouth flavor. Too small a portion for me -would have starved. Came for Barroco, but the restaurant next door didn't open until 530pm, so we ate here, along with the group on the next door table. read more

Went here on a whim. Really enjoyed the whole experience. The waiter was very kind. The bread started with tomato garlic sauce was delicious. Tried two specials, calamari steak and steak. Both cooked really nicely and the house veggies were perfection! read more

I had the cassoulet and a glass of wine. Both were good. Service was very slow. Maybe because I was a single diner? The larger groups seem to get all the attention and a lot of clout chatting. Also not a fan of the dip they provide with the bread. I would prefer olive oil or butter. read more

This was my third or fourth time having dinner here. I'd previously visited Montreal and found this place and returned three times on that trip, including bringing a group of work colleagues because of the reasonable music volume, great musical selection, and good food. This trip I planned another work dinner for six, a smaller group, and the dinner went just as well. The food was good but not wow. Desserts were a bigger hit than the main courses but the paella was well liked and the pork cheeks were solid. The service is either good or excellent. The prices are reasonable for the quality. I'd add a star for the overall experience if the restaurant would get the license allowing patrons to bring their own bottle of wine, but I understand that this is not common in Montreal because of the provincial laws. I'll keep coming back when I am in town. read more

Charming Spanish flare with quiet music playing to allow for conversation to be held. Friendly staff - answered all questions and were personable. Carlos and Justin are top notch! The food was amazing - we started with a goat cheese salad and then had a fabulous mixture of seafood grilled to perfection . We finished with a delicious variety of desserts. Look forward to next time! read more

Relatively easy to get a reservation here last minute. We were a group of 8. The gazpacho was fresh and the orange cake was one of the best I've had. The fish was pretty good. The service was very friendly. Overall a good dinner! read more

This is a great choice for pescatarians. It had several selections on the menu that were either fish or vegetarian, and the one I selected was excellent: mackerel with vegetables. The fish was very tasty -- though the knife they gave me was necessary. The vegetables were perfectly done and were composed of an interesting and flavorful variety in a delicious sauce. For dessert I ordered the strawberries in pink pepper sauce. This was an adventurous choice, but the peppercorns were not very hot so they added a nice crunch and a unique flavor. This dessert was not very sweet, for which I was grateful. I also ordered a mint tisane, which was nice. The honey they provided was of exceptional quality. They also provided a unique sauce for the French bread which seemed to be lightly tomato-based. I liked it a lot. The only downside to me was the acoustics - I could clearly hear everyone's conversation. But then, that can also be amusing. Watch what you say. read more

Everything here is just ok. It's a touristy area, so don't expect high quality. Drinks were watery (don't think there's any wine in my sangria, tastes like apple juice), bread so-so, risotto mushy, paella dry. Ambiance and proximity great though. read more

Outstanding, Superb food, service and ambience. Loved the place. 5 minutes of walking distance from St Paul, Marriott owned hotel. Great selection of options on the high-end quality French/Mediterranean/Mexican food. We took fancy paella and salmon platter - both were prepared to the perfection and presented beautifully. read more

Ok, we went into this restaurant with very high expectations. Food looked well made and the appearance was professional. As we sat down, water was offered but not delivered for 20-30 minutes. There were several occasions of visible staff confusion. Although many stopped by to help, our main waitress remained indifferent to any friendliness that me or my children showed. (Note: My kids are both older and mature) It could have been that we were not locals, took a few extra minutes to look over the menu, or maybe she had a bad day however, the feeling of un-welcomeness from her was entirely present. On another note, I wanted to give the restaurant three stars because of some staff members who were very polite, the dishes we ordered, and the atmosphere was bustling and lovely. Also, the sauce that came with the bread was super good. read more

This place is a gem. I love the outdoor dining unfortunately we had to move inside as the bees decided to dine with us. The service is awesome and they made sure were ok the whole time. The paella is superb (personally, I'd like mine charred at the bottom) seasoned well and the ingredients are plenty. The seasonal soup they had taste really good and wife enjoyed her plate, the veggies were roasted and seasoned just right. Would love to dine here again whenever I tour this place again.

Do yourself a favor and dine here. This is not the typical touristy restaurant as many of them in this neighborhood. It's world apart from them. The service - super good, dining experience inside and outside - really nice (we were sitting outside), the cleanliness, especially the restroom - impressive. The food....OMG, the food....amazing. Everything. We had gazpacho and butternut squash soups that were delicious, salmon for main course that was simply to die for and the dessert that was mind blowing. Cant wait to go back there! read more

We've been to Les Pyrenees a couple of times and enjoyed both visits. This most recent encounter was for a nice Monday lunch. The lunch menu is really quite good and offers up about 8 entree selections complete with your choice of soup or app and finishes with tea or coffee. They also have the full dessert menu available. Barb had the Butternut Squash soup and Veggie Quiche, both of which were excellent. I tried the quiche and found it light and fluffy with an amazing crust. I chose the bruschetta which was served with a small salad and the chicken and chorizo entree which was also a salad. Again both dishes were excellent, maybe a little too much salad in my choices but tasty. We paired everything with a nice Rioja white by the glass. Service was friendly and excellent as well. I left asking myself why we don't visit this place more often, note to self to return soon! read more

Loved this place for years! Disappointed this time. Braised beef cheeks were outstanding, but the rest of the meal; beef tartare, cassoulet, and Catalan Creme Brûlée were mediocre. Noisy, crowded, and played loud techno music. Our meal was at 8 pm, but we felt like we were being rushed. Not a quiet romantic dinner. Sorry, next time in Montreal, I'll try somewhere else. read more

Amazing food, and Kevin was probably one of the best waiters I've ever had. Absolutely fantastic experience.

Had dinner and wasn't overly impressed. I started with the creamy mussel soup with saffron and it was excellent. For an entree I had the seafood pasta it was incredibly underwhelming. It was very bland and under seasoned. Plus it lacked an appropriate amount of seafood. Two tiny shrimp and a small ring of calamari. Overall vibe felt very touristy. read more

A nice surprise! We loved our meal here - I had penne pasta with mushrooms in a cream sauce and my husband had the Argentinian shrimp. We had Spanish orange cake with chocolate for dessert - divine!! Service was amazing, we felt welcomed and well taken care of. I would highly recommend this place - it looked like a lot of other great things to try on the menu! read more

I came here on my birthday with a friend since it was recommended to us by one of his colleagues and honestly it did not disappoint. It's small and cute , romantically lit room and gave off major throwback vibes from a trip to Spain. The waiters were amazing patient and nice , and walked us through the menu and the menu du jour. We had chosen the Paella without Chorizo and the Plancha seared calamari with seasonal vegetables. The food was succulent and full of flavour, you can tell that the chef(s) really enjoy cooking the food from the flavour . The desserts were good ( got the creme brûlée and the strawberry with cream and a surprise ); however the caramelization on top of the creme brûlée wasn't as crunchy as it was supposed to be but it's okay; Would go back again . read more

We ducked into Les Pyrenees just before a downpour of rain without knowing anything about it and are so glad we were near this restaurant particular at that time. Excellent service, warm and welcoming atmosphere and outstanding food. We asked for recommendations on food and a mid- priced wine - they did not disappoint. The standard size seafood parrillada (standard size), was beautiful, flavorful and easily filled us both. We felt the pricing was very reasonable for the quantity and quality. read more

The atmosphere is elegant and fun; the service was helpful and very friendly. The menu has many vegetarian options, which was one of the drawing cards for us. I ordered the soup of the day and the vegan Catalonian paella. The soup, sweet potato, was a little bland. The paella was terrific and fun for the eyes as well as the palate. My wife ordered the Catalonian seafood paella without chorizo and said it was very good. Free bread was a nice surprise, and it was warm and crusty. read more

Great spot! We came here for a late dinner at 9:30pm They don't serve the traditional tomato bread from Catalan but they give bread with a side of garlic tomato spread which was also good. We ordered the pork cigar which was AMAZING. The best dish of the night. It was a pork wrapped in some kind of light pastry on top of a bed of vegetables. The pork had an amazing flavor as did the vegetables. We also ordered the almond based seafood stew; the Zarzuela espagnole de morue. It was really good. The broth was almondy and buttery and had a lot of garlic flavor. The seafood was fresh and great. The last thing we ordered was a special; the beef in white sauce. Don't get this! Not sure why we ordered a French-ish dish at a Catalan restaurant but it wasn't good. The beef was super undercooked and when we sent it back, it was undercooked again. The sauce was OK but nothing to die for. For drinks we had a wine and a mixed drink. My mixed drink was poorly made and all the syrup was at the bottom while the alcohol floated at the top. We probably should've ordered the sangria but I forgot! All in all, great experience. Minus 1 star for the bad beef and mixed drink, but the other two items were great and the atmosphere is great. read more

Another A+ food experience in Montreal. The service was stellar and our waiter, Christophe was very accommodating, friendly, engaging and knowledgeable about gluten-free options and food allergies. The atmosphere in this restaurant was cool, modern, and chic and the music was nice. The food was amazing and over-all experience was awesome. My wife had the scallop appetizer and salad and I had one of the lunch specials that included a main entrée, soup or salad, and coffee. Really nice experience and awesome service! read more

Popped in for a quick lunch and loved how fast they served me my French onion soup. Sometimes when you're travelling for business alone, you're kind of an afterthought for servers. This was not the case here. My soup was wonderful and the service was so quick and friendly. Would love to return for a full dinner soon. read more

I have a feeling their dinner might be more impressive- we got the lunch special a d it was good, just not excellent. Specifically the quiche was soggy and had no flavor. Their coffee is not that good either and I asked 4 times u til I got a refill after 35+ mins. read more

I decided to try this restaurant as they have a few vegetarian options. Its located on Rue St Paul, which is the oldest street in Montreal. The restaurant is well decorated and as we were going through the menu, the waitress came out and welcomed us in. The service was good and attentive. I decided to try one of their vegetarian burgers (picture attached). It was ok. I should have tried the couscous I feel. The burger was a bit bland for my taste. But I like the fact that there are other vegetarian options to try, and not just one that vegetarians are stuck with. If you are a vegetarian, definitely try out this place. I wasnt too pleased with what I ordered, but I am sure the other entrees would be better. read more

I came here as part of an invite. The service was fantastic and the vibes were cool. I tried some tapas, including Spanish omelette, cod fritters, and chorizo stuffed dates. Pretty yummy! My fave bite of the night was the ceviche (amazing), along with the slow-cooked lamb main. Unfortunately, the star of the night - the paella - had some overcooked seafood, probably because of the huge quantity they made for the special night. The presentation of the paella was a showstopper for sure, and the flavour of the saffron rice mixing in with the seafood was decadent. We ended the night with 2 dessert choices, one featuring strawberries and pink peppercorns, while the other was an orange gateau. To be honest, I disliked both desserts, with the gateau being bland, while the pink peppercorns were so obnoxious, they left a bad taste in my mouth! I had a wonderful time with great service and presentation but the food was just not for me... The restaurant itself is located in the Old Port and perfect for date night since it's trendy but not too fancy. read more

We stopped by for lunch. Loved the service and atmosphere. Ordered three starters: the mussel soup, the saffron risotto with chorizo, and the eggplant/zucchini/cauliflower. They were all amazing! We are definitely going back when in Montreal again. read more

This place is the bomb! Why? Because... 1. Staff are SUPER friendly - shoutout to Jeremy (our French waiter) 2. Location is right in the heart of old town Montreal 3. Food is delicious My colleagues and I dropped into the restaurant around 7:30pm with no reservation and they took us right in. The menu has a good variety, including their daily special menu. Service was on point too. We started off with a bottle of wine, a starter and then our entrees. The wait staff provided the wrong entree for one of my colleague but within seconds placed in the correct order. He even gave us extra wine to top off our glass (holla!). In the end we decided to order the chocolate cake dessert. It originally comes with whipped cream but again, our waiter came to our rescue and happily swapped the whipped cream with vanilla ice cream when we asked. The best surprise was the dessert drinks he gave each of us! I cannot express how awesome the service was. Jeremy not only provided excellent service but went above and beyond by taking a boomerang of us (with multiple tries). Such a great experience to kick off my trip! read more

Les Pyrénées - Lamb shank on the special menu - Spanish Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Mediocre, mediocre, mediocre! It's a pretty space and the vibe is cheery ... but beware of the food. The paella was exceptionally poor. I'd wager the rice was prepared separately and then some seafood was added to garnish the dish. The mussels, shrimp, and clams were practically flavorless (not seasoned in any way and the shrimp tasted boiled, not grilled) and completely disconnected from the dish. It looked nice, but was a disjointed, sad affair. The service was pleasant, but poor. I ordered a second glass of wine and had to remind the waitress after 15 minutes: "Didn't I already bring that to you?" Nope. My daughter's shrimp and scallops were better (at least the shrimp was grilled and the scallops were well prepared), but her dish was smothered in an insipid pink sauce (a la vodka?) that added nothing to the dish. Adding insult to injury, the bill was over $200 before tip. Avoid this place if you like Spanish cuisine. It'll just upset you. read more

Went for dinner. Service was fast and good, drinks were good, had the paella with seafood chicken and chorizo which was good as well.

Cozy spot with a charming staff and creative, delicious dishes. Wife and I shared a paella feast for our main. Look at that picture! It was loaded with so much top quality seafood, we could barely finish it. Perfect balance of flavors. One minor suggestion to the manager - while the background music is not loud, electronic beat music isn't the right genre for your ambiance. read more
