Taza Flores

Exceptional restaurant! We stopped here because it was close, but wow what a win! The food was incredible tapas. The server was the owner and even took time write us a list of must check spots in the area and gave us some new drinks he was testing. Really solid experience, food was to die for, would return tomorrow if there wasn’t a whole city to check out first. The only reason atmosphere was marked a 4, is because we were the only ones there. Sounds like it was a fluke slow night, there’s no way it’s slow like that very often with such food, service, and beautiful setting.

We had a fantastic dinner here! The food was absolutely delicious—bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The sharing-style concept was perfect for the two of us, allowing us to try a variety of dishes and enjoy them together at a relaxed pace. The staff really stood out—they were warm, attentive, and explained each dish in detail. It was clear they had a deep understanding of the menu, which made the experience feel even more special. The only downside was the noise level. Once the restaurant filled up, it got quite loud, and we had trouble hearing each other at times. Still, the amazing food and excellent service more than made up for it. We’d definitely come back!

We had an incredible experience at Taza Flores! Under new ownership, the restaurant is clearly headed in a fantastic direction — the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the market fresh menu is absolutely spectacular. We went as a family of four and were so well taken care of from the moment we arrived. The service was friendly, attentive, and thoughtful, and every dish we tried was bursting with flavour and beautifully prepared. A perfect spot for sharing delicious food and enjoying great company. We’ll definitely be back!

Really cool restaurant! It is made for groups to share dishes and the dishes are very interesting and unique. Great service and cool atmosphere in this place!

From the very beginning, the experience was excellent: we made a reservation and everything was perfectly organized. The place looks beautiful, with a cozy atmosphere and a décor that makes you want to stay. The soft lighting and the style of the space make it feel special from the very first moment. As for the food, the dishes were truly delicious. There are plenty of options to try, and each one surprises with its mix of flavors, making the culinary experience even more interesting. I highly recommend the “Beef Tataki.” The staff was extremely kind and attentive to every detail. We were welcomed with a smile, and throughout the evening they made sure we had everything we needed. Their warmth made the experience feel like having dinner with friends. Definitely a place I would go back to and highly recommend.

I went with a friend and the food was great! The highlight was the service, really great! I ordered a cocktail, starter, main dish and dessert for about 108$. The portions are a bit small but I liked the quality and flavours, also they were very accommodating to allergies.

This is my third visit in the last four months, and I can already feel my mouth watering just thinking about my next bite! The anticipation alone keeps me coming back. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared every time. The service is always friendly, making the entire experience even better. If you're looking for a spot that never disappoints, this is it! Can’t wait for my next visit! 🍽️🔥

Overall, Taza Flores is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a fantastic meal in a charming setting. We were told that the new owner/executive chef has made some wonderful changes since coming onboard five months ago. The cocktails were on point (recommend the Gimlet!) and the wine suggested by the waiter was fantastic. We chose to have the following which were all delicious : beet salad, hamachi, mozzarella, tortellini, strip loin for two, finishing off with a decadent baked Alaska. Waitstaff was friendly and super attentive! This is a great date night, friends catch up or after work drinks and dinner place. Definitely a favourite going forward!

A delightful place to discover! Not too rowdy when we got there (around 5vish). Bueaitful atmosphere, cozy, warm...the sevrers are abposultely amazing. The whole staff seem passionate by this place. Food was yummy and I was able to find something with my many intolerances (I eat vegan and gluten free). Definitely a spot to discover. perfect for a date, business meeting, work diner, etc

Easily made a reservation for a Saturday night. Ambience inside the restaurant was immaculate and service was prompt. The happy hour drink special was a Paloma- which was delicious, not too sweet. I also tried the Jardin cocktail- very refreshing. For food we tried the caprese salad situation- very nice with a pesto base. Also got the fried fish dish which came with a very yummy tartar sauce. Overall 10/10 will definitely come back next time we are in the city. Lovely restaurant with delicious food and drinks at very reasonable prices.

Wonderful service, great wine advice and truly delicious food! "baked Alaska" had us battling spoons.

Finally got to try this place after years of living nearby and I should've visited earlier! We got the sharing menu as we were a big group and it's perfect because you get to try a big variety of meals to share and the portions are bigger than you would expect. Everyone was very full after all the food. It's hard to pick a favourite dish because they were all so good. The service is very friendly and they take the time to explain the dishes as you get them and are very attentive. Lots of seating too so this place is absolutely ideal for big groups who wanna share food. If you have someone who has allergies or is vegan/vegetarian however, the tasting menu cannot be changed so that is a bummer. IfThey do have some vegetarian options in the sharing menu but not a lot so keep in mind to check with your group prior to picking this place if the sharing menu works for everyone. You can also definitely order the meals yourself and not go for the group menu but I found the group menu great because we got a taste of everything and we didn't have to worry about not having enough.

The service was excellent - both attentive and kind. The ambiance was intimate and cozy and somehow artfully managed a balance between formal and informal. We split four tapas between the two of us and the dishes were creative and well balanced and we very much enjoyed them, but oh my, did we ever love the mille feuille and Paris-Brest we had for dessert!

Service was nice and the food tasted good. Unique small plates to try and many drink options. The only issue was that they did not have a menu in English but if you ask they can explain to you what they are! It was our first meal during the trip to Montreal and we had a good dinning experience.

Actually I really liked the ambiance, the decorations and lighting was amazing , cocktails amazing! not a great service, the food was sooooo salty that ruins the whole taste of the food and the appetizers... unfortunately they really didn't apologize about it even ... I never gonna b back honestly...

This is a potentially racist establishment. We had made a reservation via Yelp for 2 at 6pm, and arrived at 5:55 to a nearly empty restaurant. The host did not honor our reservation, and told us 'We are totally booked for tonight', despite additional reservations being clearly available on the app (and all of the empty seating indoors and outdoors around us. I don't know why we were treated so poorly by this host. Perhaps because my friend was Asian, or perhaps because we spoke English. Either way, there's plenty of other great spots nearby - I suggest you try out another Mile End restaurant instead!

Endroit adorable avec tapas diversifiés et goûteux. Les vins qui nous ont été recommandés étaient succulents. J'y retournerais et recommanderais sans hésiter!

I really loved the place, it was cozy and in my reservation I requested that I wanted a place where we won't be too squeezed with other tables. They put us in the perfect spot so cozy and with a huge space! I appreciate this much! The decor was really cute ! The reason why I put 4 stars is just because the price was too high for the portion you get! However the staff were so friendly and respectful, the service was great, they do not come every two second to ask if everything is good ( I am the type of person that hates this when a waiter comes litteraly 10 times in 10 minutes) By the way the drink i took (Niagara on the lake) was delicious !

We loved the food and the staff was very welcoming and super friendly! We loved the octopus, the humus was also very delicious, the shrimps and the mango salad both deserve your attention. The Gravlax was very tender! First time here, but we'll certainly come back!

Nous avons été hier chez Taza flores et je vous dit que comme restaurant de tapas il mérite d'être découvert .tout les plats commander était super délicieux et le service hors pair et très attentionner .Ma femme et moi avons fait cette découverte et je le recommande . jules a

One of the most hidden gems in Montreal! Came here around 9pm on a Thursday, not packed and very vibrant atmosphere. Food was INCREDIBLE. Hummus and pita was divine and orange blossom crème brûlée was one of the best I'be ever had. 100000/10

Really glad we were in Montreal during MTLaTable because we took full advantage. Only $33 for a delicious 3 course meal sign me up everyday! Got calamari, beef dish and shrimp. They were all amazing! and worth the trip.

Amazing tapas! We ordered two tapas per person and shared, everything was incredible. Great atmosphere and service. The waiter went over the entire menu with us and made great suggestions. Also very good cocktails, I asked for something sweet and had the "La vie en rose" and it was amazing, packed with strawberries!

Finally a true, comfy, fine place to go. Evening lights are precious on the wooden terrasse. Wines (rosé Touraine 2015 and the red Lopez de Hajo Rioja 2015) are carefully chosen, products are fresh and professionally -- if not always originally -- seasoned. On my Montreal to-do list!

Absolutely delicious food, lovely ambiance and the staff is so sharp and on top of their games. Fast service, great wine. Very safe environment and setting for Covid measures. ABSOLUTE MUST, it's a Montreal treasure.

Pretty good tapas! A bit on the expensive side (on my standards), this is the kind of place that is fun to hang out at and have a few bites, but you don't want to show up very hungry, or you'll burn a small hole in your pocket. Dishes are well executed (all four that I tried), but they are small: - The FIGUES FRAICHES AUX PROSCIUTTO ET VIEUX CHEDDAR is just four small bites (but yammi!). - SALADE DE MANGUES, TOMATE CERISE, FIGUE, NOIX DE PIN & HALLOUM GRILLÉ, CHIMICHURRI is very good. - CHORIZO GRILLÉ, BALSAMIQUE RÉDUIT ET SAUCE PIRI PIRI MAISON is just a few slices of the chorizo but very well executed, and probably one of the more filling tapas they serve. - BOUCHEES DE POLENTA AU PARMESAN is a fried polenta, and very well executed. Service is pretty good. I might be back.

I have been to this place a couple of times now, since I just moved in next door. The wait staff is very friendly and all the tapas dishes that I ordered were delish! Not to mention a decent selection of drinks. The actual space itself, both the inside and the outdoor terrasse are also very inviting and charming. It's just quite expensive. So be prepared to pay up! Haha.

I have said it before and will say it again but places where the music is too loud for you to have a nice conversation with your company without having to shout and break your voice are annoying. And places where they try to cramp as many people on the smallest surface as well. What are you trying to do? Break the world record for Most people in a meter square?! So, sure the food was good with a slight original hint but if this atmosphere screams at me to get out of there, that's what I will do and make sure I never go back. Expect to rake your wallet as well as it is a bit on the expensive side (I suppose you pay for the electricity consumed to blast the music so loud!) and you should definitely go grab drinks somewhere else afterwards or you'll just go poor.

I came here for Taste MTL and was not disappointed. $19 for three Tapas is a great deal, especially when you consider the quality of the food and the comfortable atmosphere. This restaurant looks like a really hip mile-end apartment that's been converted into a commercial space. The decoration is tasteful -- think vintage posters on the walls, exposed brick, coffered tin ceiling, and my favourite, dry branches with white lights hanging over the bar-- without being overdone. It's romantic and intimate but also seems like it would lend itself well to a small meeting among close friends. It was a little strange when we walked in. We had a reservation, but were seated at a table in the back next to the bathrooms. When I asked our host if we might be able to get one of the tables near the front window, he pointed to the signs that said "Reservée" and told me they were reserved. I was more than a little confused since we had a reservation but were not seated at a table with a reservée sign. Either this place has super-reservations, or there were some famous people dining there that night who I was not familiar with. All that being said, our waitress was incredibly sweet throughout the whole evening. When discussing which wine we should order by the glass, offered to let us taste the two we were deciding between. The cocktail menu and the wine list are nothing to write home about, but they're well priced and the wine list includes a few interesting discoveries. Now for the food. I began with the ceviche: tilapia with lime juice, coconut milk, coriander and ginger. For tapas the portion size was quite generous and it was lovely and refreshing dish. The cutting acidity of the lime was well balanced by the coconut milk and the coriander lent it a nice herbacity. My fiancee had the beef carpaccio which was quite good. No strange twists like you get in far too many restaurants trying to re-invent the wheel these days, just razor-thin beef slices, peppery-fresh arugula and parmesan shavings. Course number two involved the Cod Fritters for me and the Goat cheese croutons with grilled vegetables for my fiancee. Like the Carpaccio, the Cod Fritters were simple: just three traditional little fishcakes filled with delicious flaky Cod. The spicing was interesting, a little peppery and possibly some Old Bay which was nicely balanced by the tartar sauce. My fiancee's dish a little bit of a letdown, some slices of baguette with semi-firm (brie-like) goat cheese melted on little pieces of grilled vegetables. It was fine, but less exciting than she expected. Our final course included the Chorizo with a balsamic reduction and the artichoke stuffed with ham, bacon and mushrooms. To be honest, I found the Chorizo a little too spicy and was disappointed to find out that they did not make the sausage themselves. The stuffed artichoke was good, but the bacon/ham/mushroom combo was in a very rich cream sauce which made the dish just a little too heavy. All this being said, I would absolutely come back to Taza Flores without hesitation. It's a great place to grab a drink or two with some friends and to have some great snacks. I might not come back specifically for dinner, but then again, Tapas and Dinner are two very different meals. Taza Flores excels at Tapas and is a lovely place to hang out.

We had the mango salad, ceviche, Accra's and calamari with cocktails and a glass of wine and everything was really delicious and fresh. Would go back anytime.

Having lived in this area of the Mile End for a little over a year, I can attest to the fact that Taza Flores is a gem that is frequented by mostly locals (especially by those who are attempting to be a bit frugal without sacrificing food quality). This spot also doesn't succumb to same aura of hipster-pretentiousness that plagues other restaurants/bars of the Mile End. Last night, I went with a few people and shared four tapas, including Eggplant Pizza; Cod Fritters; Grilled Chorizo; and the Vegetable Platter. All of these options were fantastic, flavourful, and made with delicate care by the chef in the bar area. Having initially expressed some skepticism around the cod fritters, this particular tapas ironically blew me away. It was fried as the name implies, and served with a rich and creamy tartar sauce. While the service was exceptionally good, I'd suggest in the future that they explain the options more in-depth without being prompted by the restaurant guests (ie. explain each aspect of the vegetable platter tapas). Fun tip: Go after 11pm and order three tapas for ~$23.

Stopped in this.cozy and quaint spot for a light dinner. I had the eggplant pizza with pesto and goat cheese along with the tomato and goat cheese in balsamic vinegar. I enjoyed both small plates very much. I also ordered a simple cosmopolitan, but it tasted so good! My friend ordered a couple of small plates, but she was upset bout them being out of both calamari and polenta. Overall, it was a nice experience.

My friends and I went to this restaurant as part of our week of Mtl a table. This adorable restaurant in the upper parts of Du Parc street is cozy and welcoming. That was a wonderful start! The night only got better with the food. Very Mediterranean, these tapas were the perfect size, very reasonably priced and delicious. The mango salad was a winner with very differing tastes of fruit, cheese and greens mixing exquisitely. The tajine d'agneau, the tilapia ceviche, the calamari and more. We were three and ordered 3 tapas each. This way we shared more and experienced a wider variety of tastes. That was one of the keys to this night being great-every dish was strong yet delicate. This was an amazing restaurant and I will definitely be going back.

This place is great. It has an eclectic menu, but each of the 6 dishes we tried was great. To have not a single miss is impressive. Highly recommended are the Tagine with lamb, the walnut salad, the mango salad, the tarte tatin, lamb cigars, and the eggplant pizza. Service was excellent. Catherine was fantastic. This is a must-try place.

We had such a great dinner here tonight! The manager was great and offered up great conversation for us out of towners. The menu is cold & hot tapas. It is a creative menu and everything we had was soooo gooood! The atmosphere is very cosy and inviting. And there is 1 tv so i could keep an eye on the hockey game!

I am a complete fan of this place. The only downside is that it is a little bit pricy to go there very often but other than I am amazed. The food is completely amazing (N.B. Only tapas place), the staff is really good (especially the boss who is very nice). I mean they are nice, respectful and you can see that they do care about their customers. This place is an hidden gem and I am very happy that I found that.

The best Tapas in Montreal. Great location and every thing on the menu is mouth watering. I loved the stuffed artichoke with mushrooms and ham . Great wine selection and you can sit in the out door deck and watch the Rolls Royces and Mercedes pull up to the Valet parking at the rich and famous restaurant ( Milos ). Next door Love the spot and atmosphere.

Service,food, and cocktails were excellent! You must try the hallumi cheese salad, grilled octopus, beef tartar, calamari, grilled chorizo,and duck confit fries. Drinks are strong and tasty-peach martini and mojito. Service was friendly, prompt, attentive and gave good suggestions for discos. Highly recommend!

Nestled on the edge of Mile End is this golden nugget - an intimate tapas restaurant offering a heightened gustatory experience and great service to boot! They recommend 2 tapas per person, which is absolutely the right amount to order. Highly recommend the ceviche de poisson, bouchees de polenta, and salade de mangues. The Godfather scotch drink was fantastique aussi!

This place has been one of my top favorite bars since I moved to Montreal. Until last night, food was great, drinks were good but that one older looking waiter was incredibly rude. Took forever between each time to get any sort of service, didnt even bother to look at the table once to check if we needed anything. I had to literally get up and walk to him to the bar (as he was having a beer) to ask for service. He didn't even have the courtesy to apologize he was actually arguing with me about how many minutes passed since he was last at my table. To make matters worse he just kept asking me what do I want, even when I wasn't done talking he just cut me off and asked what is it do I want, in a super condescending and just Incredibly rude manner. Unfortunate because I was raving about Taza ores to the person I was with before going. That waiter turned me off from the place entirely. Felt unwelcome and unwanted. Not coming again and no longer recommending to friends. (The hostess at the door was sweet an lovely however!)

So I made a reservation on YELP. When we arrived we were told they don't accept reservations. Having received a confirmation didn't convince, whom I believe was the owner, that indeed they appear to do so. Neither did the fact a few tables had "reserved" signs on them. Other than the reserved-sign tables, I was invited to wait until a table became available. Needless to say I didn't. Instead we went to Le Margaux down the street, and had a wonderful dinner there. I won't be returning to Taza Flores any time soon. My suggestion is you don't go there either. There are enough good restaurants in Montreal who appreciate their customers business and deserve our patronage. Apparently Taza is not one of these.

A little loud, but great food and great, speedy service. Good wine list, and the ambiance was cool. The octopus was . A bit pricy, and if you've had tapas beforehand, you know the portions are made for small sharing.

This place had an amazing atmosphere. The exposed brick, with the green plants made it trendy and fun. The food was delicious! We had the mango salad based on several other yelp reviews (which was great) but LOVED the beef Takia (spelling?). The service was wonderful as they explained the dishes and made great recommendations. Overall, great place!

It feels so bad that this place wasn't event in the system base. Anyway, that being said, I've added this place. It's a Tapas bar and it's the first Tapas Bar I actually go. The concept is Spanish. In Spain everybody goes out EVERY night. Tapas is a great way of getting something to eat and drink some red spanish wine at the bar with friends. In North america, most concept is more like a restaurant and will have more sitting places with a trendy-young crowd. I had a lot to eat there actually and some drink there and there. Great selection of Drink and beer. The service seems a little bit confusing but looks like it was working pretty well. Different waiter/waitresses during the meal but friendly and efficient. I had Beef Carpaccio = super great, with a small cresson salad and old grinded chedar, the texture+ taste was awesome. Anneth Smoked Salmon = a classic but the quality was really the top. Extremly fresh Grilled Octopus on a lens salad: WOW! Now the salad is extremly great with crouton or bread and the Octopus, never ate some octopus as good as this. It's so great that if you go there, build over the predjudice you might have against octopus because it's tender, the meat is tasty and smoke-ish (because it's grilled). Bacon dates with chiorizo and nuts: with a balsamic / rasberry reduction: Ok now that's so great that as soon as I had one in my mouth, I had already pick up the other one to eat it right away. It's pretty sweet but the spicy taste of chiorizo is great. Grilled Chorizo with balsam reduction: Ok it's sums it all: hmm Seafood Casserole gratin with a nice cheese sauce; It doesn't overpower the seafood taste and it's really great quality. Lamb and Olive Tajine with lemon and ginger confit: that's great, with fresh coriander, nice small potato. Really nice to share with friend a plate. The more the Merrier is definetely something that apply to that kind of restaurant!

I was so disappointed with my experience there for the mtl a table. The carpaccio was so salty, the ceviche was disgusting, the tortilla was a disgusting quich filled with potatoes, the tartare was not eatable and the artichaut looked like wet dog food. I don't recommend this place to anyone. The only up side was the service, the decor and the wine.

I love Taza Flores! The place looks good and the terrace is very pleasant in the summer. The service is very friendly and attentive. And everything on the menu is really really good. I've been going for years and it never fails. My favorite are the lamb tajine, the chorizo, the eggplant pizza and the mergez in tomato sauce. It is a bit expensive for the size of the portions, but they put love into it.

This is my favorite tapas place to eat at!!! Love love love their dishes. I love the bacon covered dates, ceviche. Honestly, everything on the menu is great. You can't go wrong.

I love this tapas place. The portions are generous and the price is reasonable! I always enjoy eating there. Most of the time the servers are really nice, but there is a lady that works there that is really rude. She seats us sometimes but she never shares a smile or answer really sharply to my questions. I'm not sure she still works there but I hope this would not stop anyone from coming back since the food is really amazing. My favourites are the hummus, the guacamole, the mozzarella tomatoes, the lamb tajine, the shrimps and so many more...

Charming and comfortable with delicious food, good drinks, and very friendly service. Would be a great place to take a date, hang out with friends, or grab a quick drink and bite after work. Has a nice and cozy coffee shop vibe. One of my favorites of the places I went in the Mile End while visiting.

I went a couple months ago. All I remember is the steak tartare, which was very grey. I asked the waiter since I'm more used to tartare being bright red. He said that they let it cure in lime juice because they're doing something "different than everyone else". That's fine. I personally did not think it looked appetizing or tasted good. I don't remember the rest of the food, but it wasn't great or terrible.

Our waiter was fabulous. He made us feel comfortable. The food was excellent. Every dish was well presented. And when it was served the presentation was superb, and the dishes were more delectable than described. This was our best experience in dining in Montreal not only this trip, but the best of all our visits to the city in 30+ years.

I discovered this little gem during a group dinner. From the Tartare to the Artichoke dish, stuffed dates wrapped in bacon ....each was a delectable taste discovery! Our Server suggested an excellent wine (which name escapes me): a very rich, velvety red that complimented the food selection perfectly. Decor is warm with a nice relaxed and contented vibe. I definitély want to come back with my husband so he discovers this great place. The service was also genuinely warm and professional. I hope you try this place and have as great an experience as we did!

Stopped in alone at 4:30 to an empty place; my favorite. The waitress was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I had the endive salad and the grilled octopus. It was unforgettable. I wish I had room for more food! Great happy hour wine and atmosphere.

Delicious food, friendly and helpful service, and great ambience! The cold tapas were my favourite, there were some especially delicious salads: the poached pear with Gorgonzola and the goat cheese with raspberry ones were divine! Also loved the fresh figs with prosciutto, cheddar, and balsamic glaze--packed such a punch of flavour in one small bite. This was such a great find in the Mile End area, will definitely be back!

One of the best tapas restos in Montreal. Highly recommended to those who like to share.

I've been there a few times and it never disappoints. The service is great, the waiters know the menu and what to recommend in line with your likes. The food is always tasty and great for sharing and discovering. The quality/price is fair. I would definitely recommend this place for a nice date or catching up with friends and family.

I went to this place five times in the last month and really like it - the atmosphere is great and so is the food. My favorite tapas are the dates and the figs - definitely a recommendation! If you´re not too full after the tapas, the Mousse au Chocolat is great! The service was also excellent and the decor really fits the place - a must-try place!
