hands down, the best tapas experience I've had in a while. i went for a lovely dinner with my boyfriend last night, and at the recommendation of friends and other reviewers, let our waiter choose our dishes.
highlights: scallops wrapped in lardon...i have very few words left in my vocabulary that will do this dish justice. by far my favorite selection, the melt in your mouth scallops were very large and cooked perfectly tender and sweet, lardon was crisp and not too fatty and the reduction was a wonderfully redolent compliment to the dish and great for saucing bread
fried callamari - lightly battered with a hint of heat from the black pepper and a beautiful garlic aioli as dipping sauce.
tomates sur vigne with fromage de chevre - cherry tomatoes cooked straight on the vine to perfection were a perfect reminder of late summer with the complimentary tang of the soft, warmed goat cheese.
other selections which were highly enjoyable include the delicious complimentary salmon tartar served on a fresh slice of cucumber which was brought to us before our meal, the beautifully braised leek with tomates confit...i really had no idea leek could be so sweet and delicious...
at the end of our meal, we were a little stuffed and debating on dessert. before we could decide for ourselves, we were brought a lovely plate of churros on the house. had we not eaten quite so much, we would have inhaled the dense doughy delights and probably licked the bowl of chocolate sauce...as it was, full, we still managed to gorge on half the plate.
6 tapas and a low end bottle of wine: 100 dollars + a really good tip.
there is no doubt that we will be back again. make reservations well in advance if you are going on the weekend, kitchen closes at 11. allow at least 2 hours for a full and exceptional experience. -

We had good expectations when we tried Tapeo's for the first time. Thr ambiance was cozy while a bit noisy. The service was impeccable and Dany (our main waiter) was very knowledgeable of both the wine list and all the dishes. Since we didn't know the tapas, we decided to go with Dany's suggestion which was to let the chef prepare 9 surprise tapas for us... And the result was WOW! Everything was very tasty and matched perfectly with our Spanish wine. Even the desserts were incredible!
The only drawback to Tapeo might be the price. Then again, this depends on your personal budget... For us, it's an investment in good times!
Update: Ee went back 5 times and always got the same great experience. While the reservation and owner's welcoming could improve in politeness and tact, as far as food and waiting staff (waiters and busboys) goes, it's a big winner!
I highly recommend you try Tapeo with your spouse, date, business partner or any other casual encounter.
ASK FOR DANY OR ANDY, they're both great waiters. Enjoy! -

Simply some of the best food I've ever had. The beef tartare is worth the flight from L.A. to Montreal. Bring a beautiful dater with you and a pocket full of cash and you'll be fine.

Definitely in my personal top-5 in Montreal. Most tapas, if not all, are really great, service is professional and courteous and they have some very good and affordable wines. Reservation is mandatory though, very popular venue lately.

Yum! Took a friend for a great birthday dinner here a few weeks back. What a great place! Loved the simplistic decor, the wait staff were attentive and very knowledgeable, and the food was spectacular. The sardine salad was refreshing, even though I am not a big fan of sardines. They were topped with oh so tummy deep fried oysters. The beef short rib was tender, falling off the bone goodness. Even something as simple as Serrano ham and cheese worked so well. Will definitely go back!

Tapeo is a GEM. A little off the beaten path but well worth the trip. I've been here twice and it has been consistently good. A modern, crisp ambiance, descent service, but most importantly: the food!
The menu is written in chalk on a large wall in the restaurant. Usual Tapas fare, but extremely well executed. A caprese salad is made special with tomatoes roasted on the vine, and this unctuosly creamy mozarella. Oven roasted potatoes that explode with flavor. A chicken breast, usually so dry and flavorless!, which, served with a rich lemon cream sauce is possibly the best chicken breast I have ever had.
Its one of those places that you can taste the effort and detail that went into each dish. I ate for two (no alcohol, no desert) for 80$. -

Great Tapas. Average Paella. Lunch for two including tax and tip came to $91. Not a place to come for value for money.
