Fantastic service and food. Ambience slightly loud due to a group of 20+ in the restaurant, but they were seated as best as possible in a small restaurant Ordered gazpacho, prawns & scallop entreée. Both were fantastic, shellfish served with risotto and grilled vegetables which were so flavorful with a nice crunch as well For dessert, my husband and I shared a French custard with a hint of star anise and raspberry sauce ...amazing! The waiter was phenomenal, attentive and a delight! Can't wait to go back again!

A friend recommended Les Pyrenees and we are so glad she did! We had a lovely meal there. Delicious food, artfully served by excellent waiters. The atmosphere is casual but also festive, nice energy but not so noisy you can't hear your companion speak! We both started with soup--a special vegetable puree and yyummy gazpacho from the menu. And then paella, which was superb and quite hearty! Very nice wines, and knowledgeably described by our waiter.
Mes amies et moi avons passés une excellente soirée. Le service, la nourriture, l'ambiance étaient parfait. Plateau à partager en entrée, agneau, lasagne végétarienne... miammm

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.

Amazing food, and Kevin was probably one of the best waiters I've ever had. Absolutely fantastic experience.
Première expérience réussie. Que vous soyez en famille, en groupe ou en tête à tête comme ce fut mon cas, vous serez surpris par la bouffe et le bon service. Il y a des repas à partager. La soupe à l'oignon était chaude et goûteuse tout comme le cassoulet de fruits de mer. Geste particulièrement apprécié: après avoir réglé l'addition, un vin de dessert nous a été offert par le proprio. Merci encore, nous y reviendrons.

Whenever we visit Montreal, we go to Les Pyrenees for dinner. We have been many times over the last few years, and we have never been disappointed. The paella and braised lamb are our favourite dishes. Delicious wine and beer selections to accompany both meals. Service, ambiance, and value are always excellent! We highly recommend Les Pyrenees!

It was a perfect night of celebration. The food was delicious, we were able to celebrate and share with our 15-month-old baby. The restaurant staff was very nice and helped us with all the things related to our baby: chair, bib, etc. and we were able to let her walk around.

Our food was excellent! We ordered the duck leg & calf’s kidneys and both were great! Highly recommended ?

We thought we'd try this spot again, but it just didn't hit the mark for us. $25.00 for two scallops the diameter of a loonie was ridiculous. We were expecting a better serving. The eggplant and zucchini tian was mushy, overcooked, and far too salty so we had to send it back. They were kind enough to replace it with a salad. My zarzuela was ok - ironically the broth for that was bland - it needed more white wine, garlic, and salt but they were generous with the seafood. My husband's mahi mahi was a bit overcooked, the tiny portion of side vegetables were really mushy, and the risotto was too gooey. I was also a bit confused by the ‘00s Euro Club Music vibes, but to each their own!
What a delicious food!!! They have so many vegan options and all of them very tasty!

Very good food, served with care. On the other hand, the French waiter arrived at the restaurant with his hands-free kit activated and allowed us to enjoy his conversation without any discretion on his part for more than 10 minutes. He then served us without any good humor in a mechanical manner and without caring about us. In short, and we still wonder why we are called the “cursed French”???

A delightful Bistro in Old Montreal! This was our third visit, for lunch this time and we love how charming, comfortable and welcoming we feel with each visit. The menu is what I'd call Spanish/French influenced just as the name suggests. Everything is made in house and from the soups we enjoyed (especially the gazpacho and French onion) to the entrees (especially the paella) to the desserts - everything was deftly prepared, tasty and nicely portioned. We love how the locals met at what seemed like their appointed time to dine together and catch ups on local events and how first time tourists flowed in and those that lingered outside were quickly greeted and welcomed in by the staff. Make it a point to experience this lovely restaurant for yourself!
