We shared a good amount of tapas while we waited for our seafood paella. Also had a small pitcher of sangria. Everything was so delicious, very flavorful, and tasted pretty authentically Spanish! I couldn't recommend it more for a date night or a meal with a small group.

This is the tale of two restaurants. The first one is all the waitstaff trying to do their job, and…read morepresumably the cooks as well. My waitress was very nice and helpful. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time. The other tale are all the, what, managers? Owners? Hosts? Running around with their heads cut off, each of them with a tablet with their seating plan. Yelling at one another, getting in the waitstaff's way, and generally making it look like the end of the world is going to happen. It was absurd and it made everything pretty unpleasant. I think I was watching the owner get really concerned about a dj, hanging out with him, and then bolting to go to talk to a manager. Finally, I know a lot about Peruvian food, including traveling to Peru. The food at this restaurant is not that good.

On this most recent visit we enjoyed Paella Valenciana, Fideuà, Gazpacho, croquetas de jamón y croquetas de bacalao. The croquetas are big and outstanding Service is always good and efficient. Sometimes you can score booth and table seating but we are most often seated at high tops with chairs I'm with no backs. Thankfully service is good so this doesn't get uncomfortable but I would not want to sit here for an extended period with the backless chairs. There is one bathroom which only accommodates one person at a time.

If you hate garlic, then don't come here. However if you…read moredon't, then come here as often as you can, plus this is the place to go for the best sangria in Montreal, hands down! I love Club Espagnol for a variety of reasons, the sangria is one, the live flamenco shows are another, the gentle family atmosphere, the great terrasse out back and lively crowd all make this place work. Oh yes, then there is the food. Tapas of all sorts: shrimp, calamari, octopus, chorizo sausage, all of it served in garlicky, bread-moppable glory. Spanish ham, cheeses, salads, garlic potatoes and mushrooms, soups, and salads. Mains here include rabbit and many variations of paella. While walking by some tables, the paella plates were positively delicious looking, all the saffron-colored rice, huge shrimp, mussels and chunks of sausage and ham all in full view. Prices are also very reasonable. I love the way families are usually here as well as younger couples, and groups of friends, all sharing the same space. I was here last week with a friend for dinner and some small girls were playing behind us when one of their balloons deflated and flew around before landing right in the middle of our table (not on any food) we both burst out laughing and so did the girls, it's the kind of place where stuff like that happens and it's fine. Try to come here at least once in the summer, it's totally worth it.

The paella is really nice. Since maybe 2-3 years ago you have to pay a 25$ member fee to buy booze cause they are a social club. They used to have flamenco shows on wednesday nights...not sure if they still do.

It was quite busy (and many people had reserved tables in the main space, to we were told to sit in the little patio in the back. I was originally worried about the cold, but the patio was so well heated, I was even able to take off my coat for a little bit. Their rhum menu is insane, and both me and my brother for delicious rhum cocktails, although I'm honestly having trouble remembering exactly which ones. We both ordered tacos (one of the only items on their surprisingly limited menu for a Tapas place). I got the fish tacos and my brother got the chicken ones. Not the best tacos in the world but definitely serviceable. We both decided that although both good, the chicken was better. We also got the churros for dessert which were fine, but weirdly underdone in the middle, I didn't know if it was purposeful. The service was a bit slow, I sometimes wondered if the server had forgotten about us since we were in the back patio, but our server was so sweet it really made up for it. Would definitely come back, especially for $1 oyster night !

Recently Jeremiah Bullied took over as owner chef and I was excited to go see what this travelling, pickling, kindly master of deliciousness was doing with the old Spanish social club. We went last night to check it out and though the changes being made so far are subtle they are a great indication of new life and exceptional cooking happening in the lovely old room looking out over St Laurent. The classics are all still there, just better: the bread is all homemade and is so freaking good. The goat cheese balls are still changing people's lives, the rapini now comes with kale and preserved lemons and is way better than before, and the chorizo is juicier and tastier than it has been in years. We tried the specials, a pumpkin soup with caramelized onions and toasted seeds and it was unlike anything I've eaten before and I want to eat it every day until May. The other special was Southern-friend quail in lemon gravy on pickled brussels sprouts. Everything about this dish was amazing, except I'm not a quail fan, I think it's stupid, but that's just me. The team here is making tiny changes to the room and the menu and I look forward to going back often to seeing how it all progresses. The fresh coat of white paint feels clean and amazing, and the other little tasteful updates to the decor are smart and good looking. Well worth a revisit, go get it!!

It's the kind of spot you want to linger in, even if you're just there for a glass. A true five-star experience.

The service was great in that the cooks waited for us to almost finish eating each dish and then started cooking the next dish so that each dish was freshly cooked by the time we finished the previous one. The ambiance is busy and bustling with people and there was even a dj playing music in the food court. I would definitely stop by here again, especially to try the meat dishes, next time I am in Montreal.
