Wonderful, small, family run little restaurant. I went in the middle of a Friday afternoon. No one else there. I had a delightful conversation with the young Venezuelan owner as he prepared my medium sized plate of ceviche. I selected the«mélange;» a mix of octopus, fish, and shrimp. Perfectly done. Wonderful favors, and just enough spice. I asked for something on the spicy side, so there is clearly room for individual tastes here. The corner location is located in a nice little neighborhood that straddles St. Laurent. Very homey little place. It seats perhaps 30 people, max. Very reasonably priced too. I thinkable they don’t have alcohol, though I’m not sure. A great spot, though. If you love ceviche, as I do, you can’t go wrong here!

Absolutely incredible neighborhood restaurant. Very friendly and food is out of this world. Best ceviche I have ever had– and you can design your own– octopus/shrimp with a slight mango flavor and incredible heat– like nothing I’ve ever seen. Great paella, authentic South American drinks, and lots of fun.

Luis and Patricia are terrific! The cod croquettes and fish tacos were delicious. Great experience, we’ll be sure to go back soon.

Four of us were their for our usual dinner party. I like that all if their menu items have photos. We got the biggest mixed ceviches, with octopus, fish shrimps with passion fruit base and all dressed. We were very disappointed the taste. It was quite sour. The grilled octopus was good, it was lightly seasoned, which is exactly the way I wanted. The pork bun was bad, it had a disgusting smell to it and have no flavour. The tacked were ok. He paella was exceptional well done, so fresh and flavourful. All over very friendly service but everything but the paella was average

Amazing prices, great portions, chef is wonderful. Talked to him about how his ingredients are prepared and how fresh it all is. If your date loves this place as much as you do, you have a keeper! Will be back within the week for sure.

I love this place! It’s a cute and cozy little restaurant, I think it is owned by Venezuelans. I’ve been there a couple times now, it’s a solid, inexpensive, sit-down restaurant(which is something I think that area needs more of). The food is delicious. Number one thing I recommend is the paella($ 24), containing lots of seafood goodness, though it is very oily once you reach the bottom of the pan. Their ceviches are great, you can choose one flavor and as many toppings as you like, I really enjoyed the avocado and cactus combo with mango flavor. I would also highly recommend the calamari($ 10), yuca fries($ 5), and tres leches cake($ 3). The only things I have found to be disappointing are the chorizo sandwich($ 7) and the salad with chicken($ 12), neither of which were particularly bad but just very… average and unexciting. The service is super great too! And they have helpful picture menus and big windows to let in the sun. Great place to check out, even if you’re not in the plateau.

Petit resto/cantine latino sympa, sans aucune prétention. N’attendez pas le grand luxe… Avons adorés le ceviche mélangé(18 $) + la paella pour 2 personnes(24 $), étaient savoureuses et goûtus. Si vous comme moi, vous aimez les fruits de mer dans une ambiance latino, vous allez aimer. Le service du proprio était courtois et souriant. Prix abordables(prix 2 p = 75,37 $). Seul bémol, pas d’alcool, dû à leur licence. 4⁄5 visité en novembre 2015.

What a fantastic find! I absolutely love this place. I just had dinner here with a few friends and I will definitely be back again. The restaraunt is small, the décor is simple, but the friendly service really fills the room and makes you feel like you’ve been invited into their home. For the five of us, we shared two small mixed ceviches(one flavored with mango and the other with passion fruit and came with all dressed toppings). Now I understand why everyone raves about the ceviches, they were phenomenal as appetizers and really woke up our taste buds. The ceviches were followed by some tostones(fried plantain), yucca fries(really good!) and tequenos(fried cheese). They have really nicely flavored sauces to dip all the fried goodies in. All the baskets were pretty big and I am happy I got to try it all. Had I been there alone or with one other person, I would’ve really loved a mixed basket that had all three of the items in one basket. Afterwards, we shared 3 plates of fish, shrimp and vegetable tacos. They had very generous fillings and tasted really fresh. Finally, we finished our meal with their famouse tres leche cake. This is a must have! You must not leave the restaurant without having it! It is a big piece and I suggest sharing it. As for drinks, they do have an alcohol license now, but the juices are probably the best, as the waiter had suggested. The tamarind juice was a little sour and tart, whereas the lulo juice was much sweeter. At the end of the meal, a few of us had rose tea and they were kind enough to provide extra hot water that was also infused with rose buds. How thoughtful! If the great food is not enough to convince you to try this place out, then the price must be. We had a really satisfying meal for a very decent price and it makes it a very easy choice to return for a nice lunch or casual dinner with either family or friends. I definitely recommend this place! Just as a reminder, it is a small restaurant that could accommodate max 10 people at their biggest table and you will want to reserve it as I am sure it can get pretty full really fast.

Nice service. The waiter is so nice and explain us everything with passion. The ceviche is good but paella is amazing. It’s a bistro like place. The ambiance is casual but comfortable.

Cute little place in the quiet part of the Plateau. The fish dishes are a must-try especially the ceviche. My fish taco was good too and we had the empanada sampler to start which was great. The fish sandwich was okay — too bread-y! Overall, the décor is nice and the staff are incredibly friendly and nice.

This place is awesome. I wish I could give it 4.5 stars. First, everything you read is true. The ceviches are a must. I didn’t even really like ceviche until I came here. But one thing I want to add that no one seemed to mention is the TRESLECHE cake!!! I definitely recommend leaving some room for their awesome dessert. No alcohol which is a bummer :(our waitress was super friendly and welcoming. Will be back very soon!

Psssst… hey… you. You like ceviche? Good, good. Then let me tell you about this place, Ceviches. They’ve got some of the best ceviche in town. And you’re not gonna believe this… you build it yourself. Pick your seafood, pick your sauce then pick your ingredients. It’s unbelievable. You like empanadas and calamari? They’ve got those too. Yuca fries and paella? Better damn well believe it. I’m telling you, this place is not to be missed. Get there, eat well and thank me later. Oh, I almost forgot. No matter what happens, you’ve gotta try the flan. Don’t leave without trying the flan.

We’ve loved this place since it first opened and keep coming back both for takeout and for dining in. Of course the ceviches are perfect and made-to-order. We tend to like traditional fish with lemon or tamarind, with hearts of palm or avocado, but you can certainly branch out and go wild if you want! The fried dishes are great too: we’ve tried tequeños, fish croquettes, fish & chips, fried shrimp, fish tacos — all good! Also love the sugar cane & lemon drink. Plus the host-ceviche-chef is always friendly and helpful. What more could you want?

Best Ceviche in Montréal. Fabulous Tacos. Wonderful Service If you are not eating ceviche here, you are doing it wrong. There is nothing like their ceviche in town. There are 4 choices of fish/seafood to choose from, and you can then select 3 of(I think) 6 potential flavors(including mango). That makes for something like 864 possible combinations of ceviche. This means you can eat ceviche everyday for over two years without repeating the same ceviche twice. These people are inspired. I’ve eaten there twice in the last 24 hours, and I still want more. The tacos are also wonderful. The fish, chicken, and shrimp are all delicious. I haven’t had such fresh, and exquisite, an unpretentious tacos anywhere in Montréal. Then there’s the service. These people are warm, and happy, and seem to truly care that you have a great experience and meal. I want to hug them when I see them now — which is going to be make for some really awkward moments since I live across the street.
