The food was so good that we were surprised that there was no other customers at the time of our visit in the afternoon. Great interior, great food, great staff. We totally demolished the first tray of baguette so we were offered a second tray. We ate too much bread because the dipping sauce was soooo good that I could not even finish half of my paella after.

Food is Spanish European. Flavour was good and portions were a good size. Drinks were tasty. Patio was dog friendly but a bit crowded.

Was there on a Sunday night. The restaurant was quite full probably because it was a long weekend. The food was delicious. Everything we ate elicited high praise from the four of us at the table. We had the calamari and octopus and gazpacho as appetizers. The calamari were some of the best we’ve had in a long time, and the portion was generous. The octopus was also delicious, but the portion was lacking in size. My friends opted for the vegetarian paella, but added chorizo and chicken. I had the seafood paella with chicken and chorizo as well. Our other friend ordered the lamb. Everything was very tasty and the portions were generous. Although the service was good,it could have been elevated. When our appetizers arrived, the waiter didn’t know what went to whom. One of my friends was missing a fork and we requested one. But as the evening wore on and they cleared the table, two of us were then missing a fork. At that point, we just took some from the empty table next to us. Also, I had requested a glass of white wine when I received my paella. The waitress brought me a glass of red wine instead. She was gone so fast. I didn’t even have a chance to tell her that I had requested white wine. I flagged her down and she brought me the requested white wine . The best service we received was from the young curly haired bus boy. He was very pleasant, smiley, and professional. He should become a waiter. I had the orange cake with chocolate for dessert, but it was missing the requisite, orange zesty flavor. It was also quite cold as if it had just come out of the fridge. My friends had the Creme brûlée and they enjoyed it.

Absolutely loved our dinner at Pyrénées in Old Montreal! The atmosphere is charming and cozy, perfectly matching the historic vibe of the area. I was especially impressed with the strawberry and goat cheese salad—so fresh and full of flavor. The scallops were perfectly cooked and simply delicious. Service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great Spanish dining experience in the heart of the old town!

This Basque restaurant is a treat. There is a charming outdoor seating environment and the indoor space is a beautiful place to dine. I had the delicious Roasted Quebec pork cheeks and Carmelized apples. The service and the bar selection is excellent.

Good restaurant. The soup I had was fantastic!. So was the creme brulee dessert. Only the lamb dinner could have been more tender. The service was fine. Nice atmosphere too. Worth a visit, but possibly some dishes are better than others.
