OLE Tapas

I discovered this gem by pure chance. I’ve been twice already. It’s a must. The food is truly Spaniard, the chef is amazing, great human and the service exceptional. You can bring kids, they will be spoiled.

Delicious Spanish tapas!! Everything was so delicious, maybe not exactly how some of it would be in Spain, but close enough and so tasty nonetheless. Our waiter was super friendly and helpful. Gorgeous terrace on the side of the canal Lachine.

Beautiful terrasse location and atmosphere. Had a good time chatting while waiting for the food to arrive. The paella took a little more time to prepare but we enjoyed the appetizers. Food was delicious and smelled amazing. Will come back again if the occasion arises.

The atmosphere and music was just gorgeous, festive and a delight! The food was quite delicious and when 1sr received looks like a small portion but as you eat you realize you have become very full and it feels wonderful! The flavours are very good and subtle and my partner’s favourite was the octopus and mine were the meatballs and the mushrooms! The beautiful channel of the water surround the restaurant was beautiful. A great place for a date!

Ole Tapas is one of the best Spanish restaurants we've discovered in Montreal. This hidden gem offers authentic cuisine and warm hospitality, with a stunning waterfront view. We enjoyed a variety of flavorful tapas, including crispy patatas bravas, Pintxos De Pollo, and Champiñones Al Ajillo, but the standout was the saffron-rich paella, packed with fresh shrimp, mussels, and calamari. The attentive service catered to our dietary needs, including halal meat options. The chef personally visited our table, sharing his passion for the food and generously gifting us homemade tortas to take home. Ole Tapas is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Spanish flavors.

This restaurant has a really nice atmosphere. I would really go there specifically for their paella. They warn you on the menu beforehand that there is a 30-40 minute wait to prepare it as everything is made fresh. However, the wait is definitely worth it! Their coffee is apparently really good but unfortunately, their machine is currently out of order. So we had a basic filter coffee which really wasn’t something special. The service was great, and the staff are overly friendly! The manager is a little bit more on edge than her staff, and my mother noticed it too, but it’s understandable as she doesn’t want people entering and leaving from the back of the restaurant. So if you come with a bike, maybe have a lock on hand to lock it on a lamp post and keep an eye on it or leave it on a bike rack if you have one installed on your car. However, they made an exception this one time which was really nice of them as we only ever go there when we bike together. Besides that, it was definitely a special experience that should be tried at least once!

Shrimp dish not as described or photo in menu. They were argentina shrimp... very salty and not what I had previously had 2 yrs ago from here. Some of the cured meats were off in taste. Fast and great service.

Delicious seafood paella and excellent service! It was a perfect day enjoying the terrace by the canal. Highly recommend OLE Tapas for a relaxing and flavorful dining experience.
