Its in the Old Port and its expensive but the interior is done right and the food quality is excellent
They only have a few beers available but an extensive wine menu and its an expensive one
Ask before you accept the servers suggestions i.e. $20 a glass is her favorite red
Portions are what are called small plates or tapas but the sizes are actually kind of ridiculous
The cod fritter is the size of a thumb and the same for the chicken version
The charcuterie sampler has chunky cut prosciutto not thinly sliced and the the $40 plate is what i would put on a sandwich
The olives did not have the included anchovy stuffing so you may expect erratic portions
I feel that I may have been found to not be a local so maybe there was no reason to ensure happiness and a repeat trip as it seemed many were regulars popping in for a vino and a small plate before shuffling homeward.
Service was very crisp and polished and I would expect that in what was deemed to be a high end spanish tapas wine bar in Old Montreal.
Knowing that, please leave the kids at home, the teenagers as well and bring the Amex for a trip to spain for an hour or so of vino and delicious small tapas plates.
One of the guys in our dinner party said that there is a "5 guys" down the street as he was still hungry after his $80 spend....its the constant dilemma about style vs function or quality over quantity
in the world of the foodie experience we have many choices in how we wish to enjoy ourselves
I would highly recommend a spot at the bar if you are planning to stay for a few glasses and small plates as service will be faster and easier for everyone
