The food, the ambiance and the service were incredible! Tinc Set has the best octopus I have ever had in Montreal so would definitely recommend it. It was great to be able to speak French, English and Spanish with the staff :)

I came here for valentine's day and was very impressed with the food. It is very flavourful, playful, and well presented. We got the anchovy toast, the tuna tostada, the half roasted chicken, the patatas bravas, and the churro. The anchovy toast was banging, the tuna tostada was really amazing, patatas bravas... you can't go wrong with them. However, the half roasted chicken I was slightly disappointed with. Given the fact that this chicken was the precursor for the whole restaurant I was surprised it was a bit dry. Flavour-wise it was very yummy, the skin was delicious, but the meat itself felt like it had been stuck in the oven a bit too long. Finally, the churro was GREAT! But.. slow to arrive, more on that below. Now onto the service. I realize that we went on a relatively busy night, but the food came out unbelievably inconsistently. The servers were very charming, and definitely made me feel better about the wait, but it was just strange. The first two dishes came out super quickly. I'm talking within 10 minutes of us ordering. However, the chicken and patatas bravas probably took another 40 minutes to come. Finally, when we ordered the churros for dessert (which mind you are a quickly deep fried dish) it took another 20 minutes. Luckily, the company was lovely so the wait didn't feel so bad, however, if I was going any other time, or if I wasn't wanting to spend 2 hours there, I would have been quite disappointed. Finally, the ambiance was very nice. Much more relaxed than their sister restaurant Alma. I think overall a 4/5 is a reasonable rating, and I would definitely go again, but maybe for a quick bite and a nice glass of wine.

Spanish inspired tapas style restaurant and wine bar. The service was great, and our host was very attentive and courteous, however the dishes were a hit or miss. The ceviche and tuna tostada were the highlight, but the mussels and patatas bravas were a bit disappointing. Also the prices for some the dishes are on the higher side and portions were tiny. I would recommend this restaurant is you want to enjoy a few glasses if wine and not planning on eating a big meal. They also have a huge selection of wine to choose from.

It's a cute spot in Outremont, the service was attentive and very courteous. The food felt a bit more on the expensive side. It has some Spanish influence but it veers at times. We enjoyed the dorade croquetas and the tuna tostada which were stars. The scallop ceviche, mussels, and the bravas were big let downs. The potatoes do not come out crispy and do not hit the Spanish craving.

We arrived for 5 to 7. Very good music, we were in a good mood. We have just arrived from a trip to Spain so we have tasted a lot of similar restaurants very recently.
We had already paid when booking for olives (good, small but in quantity) patatas bravas (too bad the potatoes are brown and not golden) chicken tostada (the chicken was really cold, not lukewarm, cold) pan con tomate con boquerones (excellent) canned scallops (good) and of course with a little bread to accompany the sauces. No vermut available even if displayed on the slate. The glass of wine is about the smallest you will have in a restaurant.
When the bill arrives, I see that there is 2x extra bread. We were never told that the bread was extra, we were offered it, but when I pointed it out to the waitress, she said there was a misunderstanding, I “offered” it to you….a misunderstanding would be for telling us and us for misunderstanding. It's nowhere written or said. Too bad, we feel more and more like we're being cheated when going out to restaurants for some time now. Let's just say it didn't make us want to order another meal or dessert, even if we were still a little hungry after spending more than $175
UPDATE: The price of bread has not been removed. Look at your receipt. 15x4 + 8 +tx + tip

We asked the nice waitress to bring what she wanted to our table. We ate like kings. It was fresh and delicious. This restaurant specializes in natural wines and we were very satisfied. Well done everyone

In this festive little local the welcome managed to surpass my expectations. But unfortunately, I was left hanging. The service was cordial but inattentive for an average Thursday evening. The tapas menu was simple, tempting and well priced, until the plates arrived to the table. The small tapas averaged $13-15 per plate but some were bite size, in some restaurants, served as “amuse-bouches” . The wine list by the glass is very original, but served in tasting glass filled 1/3 (2-3oz maybe) for $15. The larger tapas were not very exciting. $69 for over cooked and rubbery feeling octopus and $36 the black ink rice with calamari. Unfortunately both a bit bland, expecting more. Still feeling hopeful for desert, again disappointed. The churros was coeur fondant style, but only it wasn’t chocolate, it was dough. Or as others at the table said, a raw churros which rolled in the mouth all the way to stomach. I remembered this place as a nice tapas place, unfortunately I left disappointed.

One of my favorite places currently for a delicious yet casual delivery of high-quality dishes with an exciting selection of Catalan, natural wines. The service is kind, but I find it a bit too pushy at times, repeatedly asking whether we wish to order more. I can understand a tapas menu indeed calling for repeated orders, but I would encourage management to relieve a bit of this pressure and trust their customers will order more as they feel compelled to do so by the overall atmosphere and relaxed mood of the place.

Good aesthetic and warm vibe on a Tuesday. The tortillas are made on the spot and i hear the margaritas are excellent too.
My girlfriend took me for my birthday and had. Wonderful experience, great wine paired with a fantastic tasting menu offering a great variety of flavors . We had the opportunity to meet chef Juan Lopez who took time to converse with us a while and share some of his stories and experiences. Would recommend tinc set to anyone in a heart beat. Will definitely be revisiting

Good but nothing more... Service forgets us three (3) times... Out of 10 items on the menu, three (3) are unavailable. Portion-wise the whole thing is complete and total absurdity. The sea bream croquettes I am in shock.
