We spent New Year's Eve in Montijo with their special dinner and it was a really enjoyable experience. From the start, all the staff seemed happy to be there and were very polite and warm.
We took their dinner with wine pairings, which was definitely a big plus! Their sommelier really knows his wines, and was giving us really detailed explanation about each Spanish wine we had. All the wines paired wonderfully with their assigned dish and were delightful, a good showcase for Spanish wines from sparkling to dessert wines.
The dishes themselves were nothing we hadn't already tried before (except the Iberian artichoke and the nougat mousse) but everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly, a real bouquet of flavours from the cheese and ham appetizers, the cocktail shrimps, the Iberian artichoke, the sea bass and the poached pear and nougat mousse.
The boss (owner?) seemed really invested in us and his staff having a good time, all of them were shining positive energy at all times. He was leading us into the Spanish tradition of eating a grape for each bell ring at midnight and we really felt like he was enjoying introducing us to this custom.
All in all a really positive experience for a fair price for a New Year's Eve in Paris considering the quality of the food and...
   Read moreThis restaurant offers Spanish-style tapas, and the food is really, really good â full of flavor and beautifully prepared. Whether youâre in the mood for just a snack or want to build a full meal out of multiple small plates, the menu makes it easy to do both. The drinks are also very good, with a nice selection to accompany the food.
The space is well set, and during summer, they open all the windows, which gives the restaurant an open-air feel thatâs perfect for warm days. However, the atmosphere leans more towards a quiet Parisian bistro than a lively Spanish tapas bar.
The service is⊠typically French. The staff are not particularly friendly or engaging. For non-French speakers, Iâm not sure how smooth the interaction would be.
So, while the food is excellent, Iâd personally still be on the lookout for other tapas places in Paris that offer a more vibrant, welcoming, and authentic Spanish-style experience. This isnât that kind of place. But if youâre okay with a more subdued, Parisian-style setting and just want great tapas without the fuss, itâs definitely...
   Read moreCâest la ou lâune de mes pires expĂ©riences en brunch⊠tout Ă dâabord, lorsquâon rentre on est accueilli par la foule de client et il faut chercher pour avoir un staff On nous installe Ă une table sans couverts, sans vaisselle, sans serviette. En plus cest sans affiche, sans menu, sans annonce de prix. Une serveuse nous explique le fonctionnement du buffet. On a du se servir soit mĂȘme pour avoir une fourchette, jâai du demandĂ© pour avoir un couteau et une serviette. Les places sont trĂšs Ă©troites donc on a constamment du mal Ă passer entre les dossiers des chaises pour aller se servir. Il y avait beaucoup trop de monde dans ce petit espace, jâavais mĂȘme pas envie de parler.
Jâai uniquement pris des photos au buffet salĂ© mais comme vous pouvez le voir il nây a que du pain partout et trĂšs peu de choix⊠Au coin sucrĂ©, il y avait : des croissants, dĂšs yaourt Ă la pĂȘche et nature, un marbrĂ©, un cake au citron (sans goĂ»t de citron), une tarte aux amandes, un cheesecake basque, et une verrine aux fruits exotique avec une couche de sucre fondu au dessus Au font du resto il y a la paella (on doit y aller nous mĂȘme avec son assiette), ma copine avait pris une assiette donc jâai vu la quantitĂ© quâils servaient donc lors de mon arrivĂ©e jâai demandĂ© Ă ce quâil y ait moins de riz, et le monsieur mâa servi 3 Ă©normes cuillĂšres avec que du riz et un seul morceau de poulet. Je lui ai donc rĂ©pĂ©tĂ© que je voulais moins de riz et des moules svp. Il mâa enlevĂ© la moitiĂ© de riz mais en a rajoutĂ© encore avec 2 pauvres moules⊠honnĂȘtement le riz Ă©tait bien parfumĂ© mais les moules ou le poulet Ă©tait bien maigre et sans goĂ»t⊠en plus tout Ă©tait froid donc en rĂ©alitĂ© câĂ©tait pas trĂšs bon au final. Jâai uniquement bien aimĂ© le cheesecake pour le reste tout Ă©tait sec et sans trop de goĂ»t Conclusion : si vous ĂȘtes un grand amateur de fĂ©culent genre pain, baguette, riz, gĂąteaux et viennoiserie, vous ĂȘtes au bon endroit mais sinon...
