Review from Bobby A.

If you hate garlic, then don't come here.
However if you don't, then come here as often as you can, plus this is the place to go for the best sangria in Montreal, hands down!
I love Club Espagnol for a variety of reasons, the sangria is one, the live flamenco shows are another, the gentle family atmosphere, the great terrasse out back and lively crowd all make this place work.
Oh yes, then there is the food. Tapas of all sorts: shrimp, calamari, octopus, chorizo sausage, all of it served in garlicky, bread-moppable glory. Spanish ham, cheeses, salads, garlic potatoes and mushrooms, soups, and salads. Mains here include rabbit and many variations of paella. While walking by some tables, the paella plates were positively delicious looking, all the saffron-colored rice, huge shrimp, mussels and chunks of sausage and ham all in full view. Prices are also very reasonable.
I love the way families are usually here as well as younger couples, and groups of friends, all sharing the same space. I was here last week with a friend for dinner and some small girls were playing behind us when one of their balloons deflated and flew around before landing right in the middle of our table (not on any food) we both burst out laughing and so did the girls, it's the kind of place where stuff like that happens and it's fine.
Try to come here at least once in the summer, it's totally worth it. -

This is a great place to try Spanish cuisine in a very tipica fashion. The decor is very laid back, this is a social club, which by definition at least on the plateau, means a place where Spanish family and friends get together to have home cooked meals.
I have been a few times and have always gone with parties of 4 or more, which is the best way in my opinion because you can order several different choices and try new things each time.
This prices are very inexpensive and the atmosphere is lively, we have tried almost everything on their menu, and have often taken their specials (which is always recommended in this type of place), the only thing we did not like was the Paella which was a little to dry and not as tasty as we hoped, but other than that you will hardly ever go wrong, and who know maybe we just got a bad batch.
Everything else has always met and surpassed our expectations, and the wait staff is friendly and laid back, so go there in the spirit of a leisurely meal with friends to be social (it is a social club after all), and you too will be charmed.
By the way on one occasion we discovered their amazing outdoor terrace, (it was kinda raining so we only stayed for one drink), but I can see this being a summer place to eat AL fresco in the future. -

Hardly anyone knows about this place but it's one of the best Spanish tapas place around. It's the Spanish Social Club of Quebec. Located on the second floor of a non-descript building on the busy streets of St. Laurent; the decor is very, shall we say, practical. The place is huge so it can host a really large group; or several of them; and they have the largest outdoor patio around.
The menu is wonderful. I imagine that if I had a Spanish mum, I would eat like that all the time. They have wonderful mussels and calamari and their potato salad is the best potato salad I've ever eaten. I don't even want to talk to you about the price because you can eat like a king and not have to crack into your royal treasury to pay for desert. I don't want to talk about their sangria because it makes me want to cry.
Bear in mind that you'll feel like you're in a community centre but if you happen upon this place in the summer, go to their outdoor patio! Try their sangria and eat like a Spanish king at a community centre!
