Pintxo Tapas Bar is an outpost of the Basque region located inside Le Central in Montreal’s Quartier des Spectacles, brings Spain’s pintxos culture to the city with a mercada atmosphere. While inspired by pintxos—small, elaborate dishes traditionally served on a toothpick used to track consumption—the plates here are served without sticks, and the bill is standard rather than tallied. The menu also features larger shareable dishes like grilled octopus, lamb chops, and classic tapas.
