The food is amazingly good! The croquettes (Iberia ham & cod fritter) and paella taste even better than I was in Madrid & Barcelona. The seafood black rice paella cooks just right. Filet mignon is so tender. Basically everything we try is good. The service is outstanding. The outdoor dining area is comfortable and breezy as well. This is the best meal we have in Montreal.

I went there for our wedding anniversary and it was the right choice for the evening. We went for tapas instead of main dishes and I'm glad we did. We got the chance to sample different dishes and they were all great! The drinks were delicious as well. Our waiter, William, greeted us and helped us decide on what's best. Thank you! Definitely will come back to try the seafood paella!

We had dinner here on Valentine’s Day and it was a lovely date night. We shared the mixed seafood platter and it was incredible. It included the most beautiful buttery scallops, jumbo shrimp, a whole white fish (sea bream), and grilled calamari. It comes with a side of green beans and then bread to soak up the rest of the delicious sauce. Service was also excellent. We do not drink and our server recommended a wonderful passion fruit mocktail that I’ll daydream about until we can come back. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

We went to this place tonight and they offered us a nice table, however, the service was disappointing. The waitress was Sophie. She misunderstood the order and somehow thought we had ordered “chicken”. We don’t order chicken normally and didn’t even know that they had it in their menu. Mistakes happen, but she came to our table after we had advised that we didn’t order chicken and she said “I didn’t put it there for no reason”, so we felt like liars. She then apologized but we didn’t get any service after that. We had to ask for a water refill and the check to another waiter. The paella was ok, not great, there are better in Montreal. The mini boeuf diced was delicious. We also ordered a half of Octopus and it looked great but it was really disappointing. Chewy, bland, the sauce was not good, overall a mediocre $50 dish, not worth the price. So not a great experience with the service and a mediocre one with the food.

It was near the Hotel we were staying n it had good reviews so we decided to try. Food was good. Octopus very good. Seafood paella was very good, oysters were ok. Tenderloin cubes were good. However, We sat above the kitchen so the smoke came up when they grilled something, which was often, n my hair n my clothes all ended up smelling like smoke. They need a better ventilation system. Service was a little abrupt, I felt the guy was a little rude. He kept reaching over us to clean the plates instead of going around. I’m paying good money, I expect a little courtesy. it wasn’t even busy. there were have these small glass of water n I had to keep asking for refills. Just leave a bottle of water in the table like other restaurants! The ladies were very friendly n asked if I wanted sparklers for my birthday, when she sat us down, I said yes, of course. But since we didn’t order desert, I got nothing. Boo. Food was good, service ok hence the 4 stars

I’m obsessed with Spanish cuisine and was thrilled to find a spot in Montreal! The yuzu oysters had a perfect balance of sweet and sour, and the garlic tiger prawns were our favorite and we couldn’t stop scooping up the sauce with the bread! The seafood rice was decent but didn’t stand out as much. Overall, we loved the food and the atmosphere, though we had some trouble getting seated. It seemed like the staff could use a bit more training on customer service.

All stars! Great food and great service. The prime rib was juicy and cooked perfectly as required, the grilled octopus was a bit starchy in stead of being chewy, not as we expected; however, overall everything was okay. Definitely a come back when we visit Montreal.

We were looking for a place close to our hotel. We had been out walking Old Town and had had a lunch and were not sure how hungry we would be. We found this tapas place that they could seat us at a good time. It was perfect! The server ( Alexi) made great suggestions on what we should get. A start of the crudo salmon plate was fresh with great flavors. And the anchovies platter leant a saltiness to the evening (with great toasted bread). The grilled octopus was so tender and flavorful. The beef tenderloin was cooked to perfection with a great garlic wine sauce. And the chocolate ganache was a spectacular ending ( along with a couple of expresso martinis). It was a loud environment with a couple of big parties...not a good spot for a romantic evening. But as a funky place with great food and service it was the best!

This place is super cute for a date night! My fiancé and I went for a slightly upscale dinner where we enjoyed a variety of tapas. Would highly recommend the croquettes and pastas braces. Also our server was extremely kind and attentive.

This was the best Spanish food I have ever tasted. We were sitting at a table next to where the chef cooks and he was a very nice guy and also a great cooker. The fish he cooked was very fresh, juicy and tender with the sauce that came with the fish. The paella was very tasty with the nice black ink also with the seafood. The steak was very juicy with the sauce. And the steak was cooked perfectly. I also recommend the patatas bravas as it was well seasoned and it came with a spicy tangy sauce that was very flavorful. The dessert was also very good with the caramel sauce. It was very warm. Overall, I highly recommend going to this restaurant if you are craving for spanish food as they have every good spanish food I think you would like. I would definitely come here again for my next trip to Montreal.

Our first visit! Wifey and I sat at the bar for tapas and really enjoyed the food and service! We started with a cheese platter containing a nice selection, each with it's own jam and some yummy fresh bread. The remaining 3 dishes were all served at the same time: shrimp and garlic (fantastic), grilled octopus (very good, cooked on a Spanish charcoal grill) and finally lobster croquettes (good, but very rich). The wine list was friendly with good choices at all price points. They were out of the white Rioja I ordered but the bartender was quick to recommend something nice at the same price point. With two bartenders and an occasional waitress keeping on eye on our wine glasses, wine service was excellent. We were absolutely stuffed after the tapas so no dessert or mains were ordered. We'll go back to try the paella and fresh fish.

Always a fan of Spanish restaurants and this is no exception. The decor is classy and beautiful, with j retesting touches like a giant armoire(?) above the bar. Never seen this idea anywhere, but so cool. The papas bravas were on point, with garlic aioli. Tried the vegetarian paella which was actually a more reasonable size than most places and you could order it for one, which is rare. The tomato salad I started with was quite yummy also. Quality Spanish food, we'll done and close to the Ritz, Four Seasons and Le Mount Stephen.

Pretty place to go eat in a group! Tried their lunch table d'hôte, had a soup with green veggies and sausages (was a bit heavy and sticky). Then the paella was delicious. The food took longer to get served but otherwise service was good.

Ate an early dinner there yesterday. The food was very good. The service was very good. Lots of great flavor. We got there a bit early and we're offered a table and drinks until the kitchen opened. Very relaxing!

Service was exceptional. The food was slightly on the salty side for my palette however the fried calamari was perfect.

Excellent tapas experience. Top notch food, fun. We had the salmon, the pork frittata, bread, etc. the rib-eye was particularly excellent. Desserts were great too. Would definitely like to go back.

Downtown Montreal is packed with unique restaurants nestled in between one another; Iberica is no stranger to this concept on the Peel street strip between DeMaisonneuve and Sherbrooke The 2 level restaurant is entered through a red velvet curtain from the front door, perhaps to simulate a theater stage entrance or to serve as a dual cold air guard; interesting! Once you pass through the curtain, the dining room becomes the spectator seating where various cozy tables, full bar, an open kitchen and a second level are housed under a jaw dropping 20 foot urban chic open concept ceiling loft. The open kitchen is in plain view of the seating and appears quite simple, especially given the dozen of luxe tapas and menu items it churns out. Fronting the cooks plate assembly area is a seafood ice box whereby fresh caught fish, oysters and mussels are in plain view of customers...very unique and another Nice touch. Oh my!...the ceviche is so close I can taste it already! Iberica's post lunch Cocktail and wine list is impressive without being overbearing. The tapas menu, which came in handy for this afternoon's light snack and drink meeting, is very diverse and today; we indulged in the decadent tomatoes and onion salad ($12) which had five kinds of yellow, red, green and orange tomatoe varieties, that were sliced with onions and filled with flavorful seasonings, olive oil, lemon, garlic; mmmmm mmmm mmm!!!... the dish was very fresh and light. Next, the filet mignon medallions ($24) came sizzling in a personal skillet and were ultra tender, cooked to perfection All and all, Iberica offers a stunning space with a casual yet sophisticated level of service that is friendly and not intrusive; just what a business meeting or a slightly pricier date night would call for in the downtown core....mais oui,...of course!

Horrible service form waiter to manager . Food is so so , a bit salty , small portion for lunch menu. However service is really rude and unfriendly . Waiter seems doesn't like Asian clients or sth , manager Mario is also not on par when he try to resolve the situation neither , try to ditch the problem as saying "normally not like this".

Food is definitely on the saltier side and their seafood paella disappointed me. The place itself feels very cool and the staff is knowledgeable. Hard to find parking around (although they have valet service at night)! For two people (sharing an appetizer, a charcuterie, and the main) costs around 130$.

Regrettable choice for my birthday dinner with friends. Walked in and said I'm cluster phobic please don't seat me upstairs... seated upstairs had a panic attack. Ordered our meals (group of 10) people. Meals came mixed up. Specifically said one person allergic to shell fish...he almost ate lobster croquette! Then a paella with shells in it!!! Double time of almost allergic problem. The only really good thing was the sea bass. Food is not Spanish which disappointed me The staff is very kind and willing to adjust. But I'm sorry so many mistakes. Won't recommend and will not return.

I was hanging out at my hotel bar one day chatting with the bartender about places I had eaten and a gentleman next me to chimed in. He told me about this place and how I needed to try it! The only thing better than good reviews on Yelp is a word of mouth recommendation, so I made sure that I bookmarked this place to check out. Here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: I came solo and sat right at the bar. It wasn't very busy on this Tuesday evening. The restaurant is quite elongated with multi-floor seating for the busier days. The decor is so lovely. The ceilings are so high so it gives this place a very spacious feeling. The 2 huge multi-piece square chandeliers are just a sight to behold. They're so cool and provide most of the lighting for the restaurant. Service: I can't remember the name of the young lady who took care of me, but she was excellent. Since I sat at the bar the service was extra quick. It also wasn't very busy, which I didn't mind. She smiled a lot, made sure I was taken care of and made my experience a good one. Food: This is a tapas style restaurant, which I love due to the small plates that allow me to try several different things all at once. First up was the "Tomato Salad". It was a simple seasonal tomato salad with olive oil and onions. It was fresh, flavorful and delicious. Next up were the scallops. There are 3 medium-sized scallops with Romesco sauce and diced chorizo right on top. They were excellent, but man I wish there were more of them. Lol. Next was the roasted cauliflower. It was served with pomegranate seeds and this incredible whipped... I don't even know what it was, lemon? I don't even know man. It was fantastic and unlike anything I had ever had before. Last, but not least was the beef tenderloin. It's just 3 small cubes of tenderloin with some crushed black pepper. They were excellent. This place didn't miss a beat, everything was absolutely excellent and I'm excited to try the rest of their menu! Value: All prices are in $CAD. Pretty decent. It's not terrible, but certainly not cheap. My tomato salad was $12.00. Scallops were $18.00. My seasonal cauliflower was $14.00 and tenderloin was $22.00. Not terrible, but quite expensive for someone eating all by themselves. In conclusion I loved it here. I will certainly return to try the rest of the menu! Check this place out if you're in the area.

Outstanding food and service. We loved our first dining experience in Montreal! Croquettes were rich and oozy. Octopus was tender and flavorful. Loved the Lamb Chops and Seafood Paella. Our waiter was absolutely fantastic and friendly. Price was steep, but we enjoyed every moment.

This place was pretty good. The shrimp tapas was the highlight of the night. VERY flavorful sauce w chunks of garlic, bread and shrimp. I should have just ordered that. Everything else was good, but not awesome. Not a huge beer selection, but we enjoyed the one they had. Worth a try if the menu appeals to you.

Let's start with the good. The decor is magical, the service is very good and the location is sweet! If you're in the downtown core, this place is conveniently located. Now, let's address the not so good. I've visited 3 times. On my most recent visit, I took advantage of the daily lunch special, which was Paella w/ Grilled Octopus, Mussels and Chorizo. Unfortunately, while the dish was beautiful to look at, the Paella was underwhelming, lacked flavour and terribly under salted. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about my first visit - food included. I was so impressed that I suggested it for a friend's celebration dinner. When I visited again (with that friend), I found the food was just okay - nothing more. On my third visit, I was so underwhelmed that I felt the need to share it with you. In my opinion, the food here is not as good as it used to be. I'm disappointed because at their price point, the margin for error should be slim.

Very attentive service. The seafood dishes are very fresh. But the rice is a little on the salty side. Pairs really nicely with a cocktail drink. Oh, and the desert if to die for! The restaurant fills up fast even for a Tuesday lunch, so reserve in advance!

Uneven. Some of the dishes are very good, some are misses. Even the same dishes on different days taste differently. It's good, but the unevenness means I'm not planning to go back.

Iberica has an excellent atmosphere and vibe. Really nicely done and perfect for a date night. The service was also great, Mario was the best. He was so friendly, helpful and truly knowledgeable about all the dishes! Mario even plated our tapas styled plates for us and cut some of our food. He truly has excellent customer service and is a great guy. I wish the food was as awesome as Mario's customer service but unfortunately I felt that it fell a little short. Below is what I tried and my thoughts. -Scallops on pea purée, diced chorizo: you get three scallops, the dish itself is aesthetically pleasing and the scallops were ok. I liked them enough to eat them but didn't find them to be prepared exceptionally well. - Manchego cheese bread: the only description is "Manchego cheese" but the bread came out saturated in diced tomatoes and had raw pieces of Manchego cheese slapped on top. We are a tomato hating family so as soon as we saw it we were like ewwwwww. But even if we liked tomatoes, it is totally not what we were expecting. I would pass this up. We did send this back and it was taken off our bill, which we appreciate. - Beignets et croquettes - we tried the Lobster and shrimp fritters and they were tasty. Creamy and rich and satisfying, they came 4 to an order. - Grilled octopus: we are huge fans of grilled octupus and order it often. Unfortunately this octopus was not good, it was very tough and chewy, which means it was probably over cooked. Not enjoyable at all ...super disappointing. - Roasted cauliflower, preserved lemon, pine nut and pomegranate - this was my favorite dish of the night. Something about this cauliflower made it sooooo delicious. The pomegranate seeds gave it a nice flare as well. I would recommend this dish. I don't think I'd come back but I also wouldn't say it was a total fail. Perhaps just an off night. Nevertheless, we still had a good time and enjoyed ourselves. Somehow really good service makes up for sub par food, a little anyway.

This place is fancy Spanish tapas and I like the location but honestly I've had better Spanish food elsewhere. The iberica caesar was awesome! It was spicy and salty and topped with an iberica ham chip and a deep fried anchovy. I then had a glass of Spanish red wine which was also very good. We started off with the coca con tomate which is a baguette cut up with tomatoes and olive oil and sea salt. I usually love this dish even though it's so simple. The bread was hard and I've had better tomatoes bread at other Spanish restos. Then we had the jamon iberica. This was very good. It legit melted in our mouth. The slices were very thin though. We ordered the mixed croquetas but instead of getting one of each we ordered two lobster/shrimp croquetas and two cod croquetas. They were both good but if I had to choose one I would suggest the cod. Next came the grilled octopus with Yukon gold potatoes cut up in small cubes with lemon and oil. It was well cooked but some pieces were super salty. It's too bad because otherwise it would have been my favourite dish of the night. We also ordered the filet mignon tapas with black pepper sauce because the waitress recommended it. It was good but also salty but less salty than the grilled octopus. The filet mignon was supposed to be cooked medium rare but it was actually more medium. For dessert we had the chocolate beignet. I took half of one and was like " nope, not worth the calories " . My boyfriend said it wasn't sweet enough because it was dark chocolate but still ate the whole thing. lol It's a nice fancy Spanish resto but there are better Spanish restos in Montreal in my opinion.

We were in town for the weekend and luckily found this gem while searching on a map. We were placed at a table right next to the kitchen and while drinking our wine we watched one of the cooks grilling and garnishing away. Two of us shared the mixed grilled meat for two and my god we couldn't stand after it was amazing. Another highlight was the roasted cauliflower. We had to thank the man at the grill on the way out for an amazing meal.

Absolutely horrific service. Got seated in the outside patio by a waiter, ordered my drink only for another waiter was to come and tell me the manager doesn't want anyone sitting at the table because it has a slight crack. and there are no other tables anywhere. I said so basically you are kicking out a seated customer and she shrugged. No sorry nothing. This person has no place working in the restaurant industry. Dear manager if you are reading this. If you don't want a table used. Take it out and Reconsider your wait staff choices.

The drinks here were ok- more on the sweet fake sugar side then real tasting ingredients but the ambiance was very beautiful. The food was quite superb. I recommend the scallops and the swordfish carpaccio. The dulce cheesecake is a definite must try.

On vacation in Montreal we stumbled upon this restaurant. All I can say is WOW! If in the downtown area and looking for tapas then this is a must visit. It is not well advertised on the menu, but on the first page in the bottom corner they mention a tasting menu. The entire table has to agree and we are so glad we did. Our server asked our price range per person and the rest was up to the chef. It was a fun food adventure not knowing what the chef would decide to prepare for us. Let me tell you he did not disappoint. Our first course started with a delicious skillet of shrimp and toasted bread, the shrimp was cooked in a spicy smokey sauce perfect for dipping the bread. It was accompanied by diver scallops perfectly cooked and topped with a sun dried tomato and chorizo mix along with a romesco sauce. Our second course only increased our excitement, we were served filet mignon with grilled octopus and papas bravas. The steak was great but the highlight was the octopus and we'll it was prepared only to be punctuated by the spice of the potatoes. Not knowing where our meal was going we thought this was the highlight, we had no idea what the chef in-store for us. Our final course came with an entire red snapper perfectly pan cooked with seafood paella and some curried vegetables. The snapper was tender and so flavorful, and the seafood paella was chocked full of shrimp, cuddle fish, clams, mussels, and fish. We had no complaints and were so happy in what was prepared for us. In addition the service was fantastic. Our server and the food runners ensured we were well cared for, explaining each entree and serving each of us our portion. We recommend reservations, and our table was in the front window a perfect location with plenty of space for a party of 4.

A very delicious experience here!!! We came in between lunch and dinner and were seated immediately. We had a delicious sparkling rose to start and shared two different croquettes, a pepper steak, and tomato bread for lunch! Super cute place with a nice patio and the interior was really neat as well

No enforcement of social distancing what so ever. We showed up to blasting music and an extremely crowded patio with waiters and hostess not wearing masks. Shame on you will never dine here.

Very friendly staff and a great new redo of an old clothing store. They did a great job on the space, good combination of cozy and modern. Ordered several things off the tapas menu, the octopus was good along with the croquettes. Also have a lot of fresh fish and a good wine list.

First and foremost - the server was absolutely stellar. She was on top of her game! As for the food...this menu has so much potential but the two dishes I tried were just a tish short. The cauliflower with homemade hummus lacked seasoning. While the piñons and pomegranate brought some wonderful notes the lack of seasoning was very evident. The buñuelos de mariscos were crispy and had a lot of favor but it was missing a wow element. Overall the experience was nice but not memorable.

The first impression was very bad because of the lady at the entry with cold face. She brought me to the table. Then, she took my coat, gave me a tag for pick up coat and just leave without saying anything, not even a smile. Maybe it was because I was waiting for friends, no one talk to me or offer a cup of water for ten minutes... However, after five minutes, a waitress with a very warm smile asked me do I want to drink something. She also tried to help us find a bigger table because a friend decided to join us at the last The decoration in the restaurant is pretty fancy. The food and the wine is deeeelicious. But one thing the restaurant need to improve is the attention to wineglass. They gave my friend a champagne wineglass with a little damage that could hurt her mouth. Fortunately, she used other side of the wineglass before finding this issue. Despite those negative impressions, it is a good bistro for hanging out with friends.

Dinner here was a bit disappointing. We thought, generally, the food was over-priced and mixed as far as quality. The $50 steak was over-cooked and terrible (was billed as a ribeye but tasted more like an over-cooked sirloin). Was also odd that this Spanish restaurant didn't have any olives... since those are such a staple in Spain. The appetizers we got were good -- tomato salad, bread, charcuterie. The lamb chops (main), though not cooked rare as asked, were still tender and tasty. The large shared fish platter was like a deconstructed paella; beautiful jumbo shrimp. The paella, in general, looked good (though we did not get it... but did get the rice with the fish dish). It seemed that the ingredients were of high quality (except the steak) and the staff were nice. Atmosphere is industrial and modern and nice. Overall, not a good value proposition here. (Also, apparently I checked in at the wrong Spanish restaurant and left a review there first--have moved the review here now.)

Six of us had dinner there on New Year's Eve. We can't say enough good things about it. It only opened a week ago - but they have things running as smoothly as if they had been open for much longer. There was a beautiful prix fixe menu which one of our party chose, and the rest of us selected many, many tapas and a few of the paellas. We feasted, literally for hours, and everything we had was excellent. The menu was very extensive, and really, we enjoyed everything. (One wish for a change - that the tuna were cooked slightly less, but honestly that is it.) Our waitress was as close to perfect as you could hope for. I wish we could remember her name so we could compliment her justly (she just moved back east from out west). After we ordered, she planned out which items to pair together, and she paired everything beautifully. She was wonderfully attentive, and gracious. Best of luck to the owners - you've created a beautiful place with a warm, welcoming vibe, and a great menu. Thanks for making New Years so nice for us!

I heard a story about this place and wanted to see what it was like. My first attempt showing up Friday night without a reservation didn't work so well so I made reservations the following weekend. The overall room has a good feel but its a tad narrow. The upstairs balcony has a more filled out room. As we received our cocktails the waiter suggested we go with the chef's menu which gave us the ease of not choosing and be surprised. We were served various courses with a selection of charcuteries, cheese, ceviche, octopus, squid, lobster tartare, lamb chops, vegetables, and seabass. The majority of the dishes were good but a couple like the squid failed. Mario took really good care of us with his natural charm and generosity. We very much enjoyed our time here and wish them good luck on their new business journey.

We went there with high expectations being such big fans of spanish tapas. First off, despite there being plenty of room in the back of the restaurant, we were made to sit in the front by the main door where we were constantly exposed to cold air. The décor is indeed stunning and the atmosphere nice. But the clientèle is on the older side, and snootier side. The menu at first glance looks amazing. Especially in terms of the number of vegetarian options. We ordered the pan con tomate, the patatas bravas, the catalan spinach, the roasted vegetables with romesco sauce and the vegetarian paella. To say the least, we were very underwhelmed by the flavors. Which, unfortunately, is not in line with the concept of tapas. The true judge of a good tapas place is the success by which they undertake the pan con tomate. This one was essentially flavourless tomato on decent bread. The roasted vegetables were ok, the eggplant was raw inside, and there was a very minimal pocket of romesco sauce that did not wow the tastebuds. The spinach was awful, essentially just boiled and serve with a few raisins and pine nuts. Nowhere near the true dish that we have eaten many times in Spain and at other spanish restaurants. Patatas bravas were probably the best part, but that is being generous. Again only a minimal amount of sauce. Now the paella, tasted like minute rice with frozen vegetables and unflavoured tomato sauce topped with the same bland set of roasted vegetables as our other dish. The wine was decent, and the service good. However the food arrived much too fast, again going against the concept of tapas where you enjoy one or two dishes at a time and slowly get the other ones throughout the evening. The table next to ours received all their dishes at once, and so they were literally hanging over the edge of the table. But I suppose this is the restaurant's way to ensure rapid turnover. I would NOT recommend this restaurant and will definitely not be going back.

Ceviche, sowrdfish carpaccio a must!! Flavor upon flavor!!! Chunks of beef tenderloin, the tenderness and peppercorn sauce amazing!!!Seafood paella and the sea bass cooked from the Josper oven a delight!!! At the end of the meal the sweet caramel taste of the churros. I can go on forever about the dishes that are served inside this beautiful restaurant , but the service is impeccable!!! Mario and Diane made my husband's 40th birthday dinner absolutely astonishing. They were very personable never missing a beat with excellent recommendations in terms of wine and dishes they serve. Mario and Diane made our dinner at Iberica worthwhile. We shall definitely visit Montreal very soon and Iberica is one of the restaurants in the city we shall dine at again.:-)

Food tastes amazing... except the seafood/land paella. However, i do recommend the ink paella (black color paella). Love the decor and ppl working there. Only downside is the tables close to each other. Went during winter time.... not so pretty. Overall, i recommend this place.

Great people, great food, and great drinks! The tapas were excellent, simply put. All in all a little pricey, but worth it.

A real gem! My husband and I accidentally found this place upon a late night arrival from Halifax. I highly suggest sitting at the bar to eat and if your lucky, Marie will be working. Their octopus is far above anything I've had on the east coast. With only a few days in Montreal, and meeting up with my parents there, we chose to bring them back. My husband is an executive chef and couldn't bare not to have a second meal there to further explore the menu. Charming and sophisticated atmosphere :)

Food is good but service was really slow. For the price paid the service is not there and that's why it's a 3 star. We also tried all 3 desserts and they were not impressed

Perfect for a low key lunch with delicious bites. Delicious soup, paella and wine list. Highly recommend!
