I went alone and ordered just one paella and one cocktail. I overheard other guests chatting, and it sounds like the rest of the menu is amazing too. I ordered Paella de la Montagne — the paella had a beautiful smoky, fire-grilled aroma. The steak was tender and juicy, and the smoky sausage didn’t overpower the natural sweetness of the seafood. Every bite was smooth, delicate, and perfectly balanced. The server even swapped the regular white rice for black rice coated in squid ink for me—such a win!!! For drinks, I had the Canarias cocktail. Sweet but not cloying—perfect for an Asian palate. I told the server I prefer sweetness over acidity, and he instantly got it. He customized a more fruity version of the Canarias just for me 🍹 The portion was very generous. For a woman with an average appetite, I was full after finishing just half—and happily packed the rest to enjoy at home. Montreal has officially added another restaurant I’ll be dreaming about ❤️

Alex and Jo and Jamilly were next level service. Promote them to managers. Seriously though, they handled our large group with ease. Thanks again.

We've recently been to Barcelona, and many of dishes were as good or better than those we had in Spain! So delicious! Great atmosphere. Helpful and friendly staff... great location (2 minutes from the metro). Spanish wines and beers available with staff advice for inquiries... a repeat visit, for sure!!

Good atmosphere, great looking place... However, food was disappointing :( Ordered the $125, 4-course menu... The paella was almost slimy and lukewarm when we got it :/ Lobster bisque was wayyyy too salty In general just did not taste good - Not worth the money unfortunately.

Hello Lefan, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. New Year’s Eve is one of the busiest nights of the year, and while our team works hard to deliver the same quality and attention to detail, we’re truly sorry to hear that your evening did not meet expectations. Our lobster bisque is traditionally prepared with a richer profile, but we understand that taste is personal and regret that it was too salty for your liking that evening. We would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to welcome you back on a regular service night, so you can experience our cuisine as it’s meant to be enjoyed from our à la carte menu. Please feel free to reach out to us directly at [email protected], we would be happy to take care of you. — Ibérica Team

I hosted a client here and the experience was excellent. The food was authentic and very tasty with the Paella being the highlight. The starters were also quite good and as authentically spanish as you can get in North America. In addition the service was professional. Overall 5/5, I wouldn't hesitate to come back for business or pleasure.

If you have celiac or any kind of allergy I would stay away from this place. The waiter argued with me at length that gluten “evaporates” the fryer (when this is not the case at all), then the waiters all brought the food quickly clearly premade no mention of allergy vs not. Then I flagged the waiter for something to ask a question and then proceeded to tell me “don’t eat that actually it has gluten”…after I had eaten the dish. For someone with allergies this is extremely concerning. They offered alcohol to compensate but I don’t drink. The food was good but the atmosphere felt quite touristy and service subpar.

Hello Flo, Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we take comments like yours very seriously. First and foremost, we sincerely apologize for the confusion and concern surrounding your allergy. We will address this internally. While some dishes are served more quickly than others due to their preparation method, nothing at Ibérica is pre-made. We did attempt to offer compensation in the moment, and we’re sorry that it did not feel appropriate or sufficient for you. That said, we are genuinely glad to hear that you enjoyed the food itself. Your feedback has been shared with our team, and we would truly appreciate the opportunity to connect with you directly and make this right. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected]. — Ibérica Team

I had a reservation for NYE booked in advance with OpenTable. When doing the reservation there was the option to chose standard menu and NYE menu. We ended up choosing the standard option because we wanted to try other things in the menu. On the 31st around mid afternoon, we got a call from the restaurant saying that standard option was not available, and we had to stick to NYE menu, although reservation allowed otherwise. A call with this “new information” on the day of the reservation, on a day in which is difficult to find another place with such short notice, is totally unacceptable. Hopefully this will be a learning for the future for Iberica. We were really looking forward to try it. And yes, there was the option to do the reservation as “standard reservation”. Here is the screenshot at 3pm on December 31st after I got the call from the restaurant and I was wondering if the mistake had been mine, but no… Continue with standard reservation was always an option.

Hello Monica, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We apologize for any frustration caused by the situation. For New Year’s Eve, we offered a set table d’hôte menu, as is standard for this special occasion. This was clearly communicated on OpenTable, as well as on our website and social media channels, where the New Year’s Eve menu was promoted throughout most of December. The four-course menu was carefully curated to showcase many of our classic dishes that are also part of our regular offering. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you and provide the experience you were looking forward to on a future visit! — Ibérica Team

Overpriced and the food didn’t taste good at all. We were given the new year’s eve menu. The crab soup smells nice but tastes bitter, and i did not like it, but the waiter offered to switch to another course for us very nicely. The seafood paella is mid, not seasoned well and u would not like it if u like strong flavor. Would not recommend going. Also got locked inside the restroom lol.

Hello Josie, Thank you for choosing us for your New Year's celebration. We would like to clarify a few points regarding your comments. First, the soup served is a lobster bisque, not a crab soup. It is prepared using real lobster, which gives it the distinct, rich flavor that this classic dish is known for and appreciated by those who choose it. Regarding pricing, we offered a four-course menu that included an Argentine filet mignon with jumbo shrimp and accompanying sides, a combination that would typically be valued around $90 at comparable restaurants. We also featured a seafood paella with a full lobster tail, along with an appetizer, a main course, and dessert, priced at $125. When compared to similar offerings at other restaurants, many of which charge more while offering smaller portions or lower-quality ingredients, we believe this represents fair and competitive value. — Ibérica Team

For starters, we have dined here for the New Year's, where there was a special seafood based 4 course 125$ menu (it was the only thing we could order) The food was pretty mediocre, nothing special. Some dishes we're sgnificantly too salty but overall better than nothing. Definitely not worth the price, but it was edible enough. We also left hungry, but that's to be expected in a high end restaurant. The service was slow, we waited for about an hour after our appetizers for our main (we were one of the first customers and the restaurant wasnt that busy), so quite annoying, but in an acceptable range (The entire meal was more than 2h and we are fast eaters). The server was nice and I have had my water refilled more than anywhere I have been. The atmosphere however was quite good, the restaurant was incredibly beautiful. Personally I believe that food is the most important part of a restaurant, which is why I wouldn't recommend this to anyone else.
