Restaurant Les Pyrénées

Tourist trap! Don’t be fooled like I was!
If you have a lot of money and don’t know what to do with it, why don’t you just give it to me? I’ll make you something! I swear it will be more delicious than what you eat here, and I’ve never even been to chef school.
Notable: Place has nice bathrooms with nice-​smelling mango hand lotion. Maybe stop in to pee on your way through Old Montréal?
Unfortunately, that was the only notable thing about this place, other than the way-​too-​high prices. Oh, we also liked the free baguette w/​olive oil way better than our entrees. Shared some of the house red with my partner, which was fine. We came here because it was all that was open, we were sick of wandering around on a –30 day, and they had some veggie options on the menu.
I would put the food at maybe a 1.5 or 2, but combined with the exorbitant price, it is definitely a 1. My partner had a pasta dish and also rated it as a ‘meh’, which was unfortunate since I think it was around $ 30, more expensive than mine. I got some kind of veggies put on top of each other like a leaning tower of pisa, and the smallest little lump of quinoa you ever did see. The side salad, also miniscule, was clearly made with the ‘spring mix’ you get from a box at the grocery store. It is smart to judge a place based on its salads — if the dish is more than $ 10, a box salad green mix is completely unacceptable IMO. The veggies — I would argue boring veg fare, as they are in like every single vegetarian dish made by people who do not understand how to do anything interesting with non-​meat items — included zucchini, red pepper, and tomato, all of which were saturated in oil as to be almost tasteless. Sat way too heavy in my stomach, and way too little quinoa to help balance out the oil from the veg. Newsflash, just lopping excess oil on something does not make it ‘gourmet.‘
Service was fine. I got leftovers in a take-​away box but ended up throwing them out. (I NEVER DO THAT.) Couldn’t bring myself to eat it. Too icky.
Probably the worst value for dollar I have gotten in a LONG time.

We were lured in by the waiter, who came out while we perused the posted menu. It was a slow mid-winter’s day. But we’re glad we did! The service was very sweet and attentive. The tables with white table clothes, and a comfortable formal/​comfortable ambiance. We ordered their veggie burger, and the penne with veggies, which were both delicious and plentiful. Not too pricey. We would go back.

We had lunch special-​steak, lamb shank, pork cheek, and the seafood pasta. Everyone is satisfied with the meal! Recommend this’

I’ve eaten here 3 times. Delicious and beautiful food. Good wines. Fairly quiet ambiance. Several vegetarian options. They do fish exceptionally well. I eat here every time I visit Montréal.

Very good or pre fix lunch in a cozy space. Service was quick and attentive I had the fish special and my wife had the pork loin with the fruit sauce. Everything was excellent. The wine list had a nice selection of French and Spanish wines. There is also a kids menu.

We had an exceptional evening an meal. The staff was very pleasant and cheerful. The food — outstanding. Had the pork cheeks and chorizo pasta. There was a slight delay, which frankly didn’t seem like a delay, and without nary a mention a delicious baby green salad arrived. This restaurant was a great find and we will return next time we land in Montréal!

We had a lovely dinner here after just discovering it on an evening walk. The wait staff were attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. We had the Spanish style mackerel and the vegetarian pasta. The menu featured Catalan dishes. The wise staff were handily bilingual. Only minus was the TV screen in the corner which seemed out of place in such a nice dining establishment.

La cuisine est bonne et bien présentée.
CEPENDANT, hormis une serveuse très agréable, nous avons eut à faire à un patron, peu souriant et pas réellement poli.
De plus, nous y avons déjà mangé 2 fois et toujours le même problème, il y fait très froid (climatisation très forte).
En résumé, de la bonne cuisine mais une ambiance glaciale !

Had a wonderful dinner.
Paella: Flavorful, large portion, overflowing with fresh seafood.
Vegetables Miller Feuille (vegetarian eggplant dish): yummy, delightful. Egplants, peppers and polenta. Very tasty.
Shredded Cod Salad: This appetizer, so affordable at 9 Canadian dollars, was fantastic. Beautiful too.
Would make a special trip just to come here.

This is very cozy restaurant. Service is great and attentive. Complimentary warm baguette is good start. I walked in here by mistake when I was actually planning to go to a restaurant next door but this was a pleasant surprise. I tried small portion shrimp/​chorizo risotto and it was one of the best risotto I’ve ever tried.
Highly recommended.

We were recommended by our carriage driver loved it must try!!! Portions are small and a bit pricy but enjoyed it.

We had a great time here and the food was great. Portions are small, and it was expensive, but I felt that we got our money’s worth because of the beautiful and delicious food, and great service.
My daughter’s allergic to milk, so I was afraid we’d have problems with misunderstandings and cross-​contamination, but the waitress was really good and spent a lot of time helping us find dishes that she wouldn’t be allergic to.

My paella was very expensive– and very dry. Glad I could expense the bill. The rice tasted good but I didn’t pick paella for rice alone. Mussels were tiny and tough, shrimp and fish very dry. My colleagues were unimpressed but we were all starving so ate what we could. I wouldn’t go back.

I loved this place! Fantastic dinner, best paella ever! Great friendly staff! highly recommended.

Tourist trap. Be careful guys.
This restaurant is pretty good looking. Trendy architecture, comfy seating. Service was ok.
I had high expectations of the food there based on the previous reviews about this place. I was very disappointed. Italian sausages pasta were overcooked and didn’t have a lot of flavour. There is a range of vegetarian options on their menu and I decided to get the végé burger. The plate /​presentation was simple and the burger was just ok.
You have to expect prices to be higher in Old Port since it’s Old Port, but this was way overpriced.
I won’t go back there for sure. In a few cases, I give the restaurant a second try, but not this one.

Stopped in here during the Grand Prix Weekend. They had the street roped off and some music playing outside. We wanted a glass of Mumm so we figured we would sit down and have something small before we met friends at dinner elsewhere. We ordered some wine and the Champagne and a dish of risotto. That short 40 min experience was enough to get us to come back the next night for a full dinner. The risotto was amazing and everything else we ordered was amazing too. The service was friendly but a little bit slow at times. This was probably due to the amount of people in the place. Regardless of that, I would come back here anytime, and if you are in the area you should stop in and try it!

Went here with high hopes but was highly disappointed. Food was without any character and tasted mediocre. Good ambience and service but sub par food!

Very nice dinner for a first in Montréal.
Tasty food and good wine.
Good service too.

From the moment we entered the restaurant and on leaving the staff was extremely attentive. Our server Jeremy was friendly and helpful with menu selection.

I decided to try this restaurant as they have a few vegetarian options. Its located on Rue St Paul, which is the oldest street in Montréal. The restaurant is well decorated and as we were going through the menu, the waitress came out and welcomed us in.
The service was good and attentive. I decided to try one of their vegetarian burgers (picture attached). It was ok. I should have tried the couscous I feel. The burger was a bit bland for my taste. But I like the fact that there are other vegetarian options to try, and not just one that vegetarians are stuck with.
If you are a vegetarian, definitely try out this place. I wasnt too pleased with what I ordered, but I am sure the other entrees would be better.

Souper de famille samedi soir et nous n’avons pas été déçu! Le service est sympathique, efficace… et bilingue, à la grande joie de la visite américaine! Mon mari et moi avons beaucoup aimé la soupe de poisson, la lotte et les rognons. Les enfants ont appréciés les pâtes au confit de canard. Le restaurant n’est pas trop bruyant, ce qui est de plus en plus rare de nos jours.

Stopped in on a snowy evening and was greeted by Joey who was eager to served us the mussels we’ve craving for a few days in Montréal. Both Joey and the mussels did not disappoint with a flavorful tomato base with green olives. Frites were crispy but I wished they were the long thin variety, good nonetheless.
The Mahi Mahi Carpaccio was amazing with micro asparagus and a nice delicate vinaigrette on top of two slices of eggplant.
The four tapas assortment equally great mussels salad, duck confit, seafood mousse was good but slightly bland and a honey cheese.
Enjoyed our first time at Les Pyrenees.

Tres bon repas en table d hotes–
Soupe de potimarron delicieuse– nous avons teste le pave de boeuf (super), la blanquette de veau (tres bonne et parfumée) et le tartare de saumon (divin)
Au dessert: choux aux fraises et un coulis dz chocolat a tomber —
Super super super

Ich hatte einen frischen grünen Salat an einer gelungenen Sauce mit angenehmer Essignote. Darauf folgte ein perfekt nach Wunsch gebratenes Steak (das für den relativ hohen Preis aber zu klein war). Leider war das dazu servierte Kartoffelpüree fast kalt und nichts Besonderes. Dafür war die kleine Gemüsebeilage wieder top.
Die Bedienung war freundlich und aufmerksam, insgesamt sorgte das Ambiente für einen tollen Abend.

Je suis surprise qu’il n’y ait aucun avis en français sur Les Pyrénées!!!
Je vais aux Pyrénées depuis des années et c’est toujours aussi excellent.
Service impeccable et très professionnel.
Le menu est très diversifié et il y a quelque chose pour tout le monde! Tout est bon! Je recommande fortement certains items qui sont mes coups de coeur! Dans les entrées, la gaspacho est délicieuse, l’assiette de tapas à la Catalane est superbe si vous voulez essayer une plus grande diversité.
Dans les plats principaux, les pennes au chorizo sont toujours merveilleux, la paella est incroyable et les mots m’échappent quand je pense à l’agneau braisé de douze heures.
Les desserts sont aussi supers!
Bref, allez y et découvrez cette petit perle rare dans le Vieux-​port, prenez le temps de déguster un super repas.
