Bistro Piquillo

Had a brunch there with my bf. really a wonderful place. The food was absolutely delicious. I especially enjoyed the home made jam!

Delicious breakfast and very warm atmosphere, in one hour spent at this place we became friends with it’s owners. Amazing!

Beautiful little bistro owned by a passionate couple (waitress and cook). Great service and the quality of the food is out of this world! They make everything in house, have a garden to cultivate their own veggies and make their own jams, smoked salmon, special spicy piri piri sauce etc… A must try! Never disappoints!

This was one of the most pleasant dining experiences I’ve had in Montréal. We arrived for a late Sunday brunch, probably after their typical weekend brunch rush. We were promptly greeted and given our choice of tables. The restaurant was very cozy, simply but tastefully decorated, and very comfortable. I felt like a friend had invited me over for a meal. After enjoying the complimentary bread and preserves, my friend had a perfectly cooked breakfast burrito, while I enjoy the Eggs Benedict.
I would love to go back to this restaurant soon. Unfortunately, my «friend» is now my ex, and my enjoyment of this wonderful place will probably be ruined by memories. However, as soon as a much better person comes along to replace him, with whom I can make even better memories, I will be sure to return.

Bistro Piquillo is one of these small charming restaurants I keep discovering in Verdun. It is a family business, husband and wife run the place that seems to be hugely popular during the weekend with the brunching crowds, I find their brunch pretty good, the poached eggs «Hemingway» with home made smoked salmon and the fried eggs with pork belly «Huevos Campesinos» are wonderful choices if you are in need of hearty breakfast.
Our first visit was with friends who have a little boy. Our host who takes care of the tables was so attentive to him. That said the service in Bistro Piquillo is superbly friendly, but the extra attention given to the kid was simply amazing.
Yesterday I chose to have a proper lunch at bistro piquillo. The goat cheese salad from the tapas menu was a perfect starter, the star turned to be the Sunday roast, healthy portion of roasted lamb slices, finely cut and arranged on top of variety of veggies. Sunday roast needs a glass of red wine and we were recommended delicious Spanish red, perfect match for the food and my weekend optimism.
One small note, I don’t like their coffee very much. Drink your coffee somewhere else and go there for the brunch. The delicious lunch we had is an indication about a potentially glorious dinner I could expect in Bistro Piquillo. The tapas menu and wine list consisting of Spanish, Portuguese wines are the other factors suggesting I need to visit again. I’ve started planning it and will report accordingly soon!

Went there for brunch. The restaurant is well decorated, the host is very pleasant and the food was really good. The homemade jams are a must have. Highly recommended.

Service was magnificent. The food was obviously made by someone who understands how to treat every ingredient. I am floored. Love it.

This restaurant has a charming little venue and I tried the brunch service. What I loved was the attentive and friendly service, the homemade jams and the setting. However, the coffee was just ok and my plate, a porkbelly, kale and egg casserole, was good but not exceptionnal. I would like to come back and try the paella as the service and place was nice.

Warm service, the homemade jams are delicious. I took the eggs Benedict, my fav was the muffin they served it on. Overall good but I wish the plates were more garnished (fruits maybe?). I’ll try dinner, the tapas and paella seem interesting !

Bouffe originale, intéressante et savoureuse mais les portions sont très petites, considérant le prix.

Just found this place. Great Spanish inspired tapas and brunch. They also serve and sell homemade jams. Recommend if your in the Verdun area.

Saturday morning. I overslept we my girlfriend and both of us needed a good hearty breakfast. I just loved this place. Not only did we both get a very tasty meal. The complementary jam was just perfect.

Everything was delicious, from the Mackarel to the Black Rice with Cuttlefish to the exquisite Natas. The only reason I put four stars instead of five was because I found the main dish was lacking in cuttlefish to make this dish perfect. Annabele was the perfect host, full of charm and always smiling and ready to share a story. Very quaint «Bistro du quartier».

Excellent service and great food! Went for brunch with my family and we are looking forward to going back maybe for lunch or supper. I strongly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for something authentic and unique.

Un des meilleurs restaurants que j’ai testé à Montréal ! Nourriture de qualité et très bon vins au rendez-​vous. La serveuse et propriétaire est d’origine portugaise et le chef, son mari, est espagnol. Elle est très serviable et adore partager son savoir sur les plats, leurs origines etc. J’adore et je reviendrai !

In case it’s a concern, owners are more than happy to concoct vegetarian eats for vegetarian customers at brunch. Nice variety of sauteed veggies, often seasonal veg from the garden.

Nice small place, the brunch is good. I like their potatoes, smoke salmon. The brunch is not as much as other brunch, coffee is extra charge, 2.5 per person.

Great Spanish food. Octopus is very good. Service is very good and moderately priced

Back in Montréal! It takes a little getting used to fact that not a lot of Montréal restaurants have Unilocal reviews. So I’m going to help contribute reviews for Montréal restaurants (especially for Montréal visitors).
Had an appointment at the Verdun hospital. So glad that Wellington street was nearby. Quickly looked at where I could grab lunch and came upon this highly rated bistro. The ratings were deserved. It’s a really cute bistro located on a corner street. Simple, countryish, clean décor.
Great tapas, friendly owner-​staff (husband is the chef and wife is the server). Seriously do get the octopus. So tender! We also enjoyed the sardines, stuffed mushrooms and cod nuggets. Will definitely visit again!
Having lived in San Francisco for nearly a decade, this place reminds of some of the popular bistros in the Mission District.

This is a wonderful bistro, the owners are extremely friendly and the food is great. I left the restaurant feeling as though I had just had dinner at a friends home. The couple that own Piquillo are Spanish and Portuguese and the menu consists of a combination of flavours from these two cuisines.
We were a group of four and we’re able to try almost the entire tapas menu. Highlights include: the oysters, Spanish Caesar salad and stuffed mushrooms. For dessert you absolutely must have the natas, they are by far the best I’ve ever had.
This little bistro is a real gem. I can only find two minor short comings the bread that they served was not the best and in my mind should have been served with Spanish olive oil and the presentation of the ketchup and mayo for the fries (they came in Heinz and Hellman’s plastic bottles).
This restaurant is a great example of the great things that are happening in Verdun. Keep it up!

C’est un incontournable des restaurants de Verdun!
Les gérants sont des personnes adorables! Le cuisiner est espagnol et elle est portugaise donc chacun apporte sa spécialité de son pays !
Tout est fait de produits frais!
Excellentes tapas, je vous recommande les acras de morues ainsi que les gambas à l’ail. Entrées assez copieuses et parfaites aussi pour les partagées.
Pour ce qui est des plats principaux, vous né pouvez pas partir sans avoir goûté à leur paella! Un véritable délice culinaire bien espagnol !!
Très bon aussi le riz â l’encre de seiche!
Pour les adeptes de vin, ils ont des vins excellents d’importation privée !
Et bien entendu avant de partir, laissez vous tentez par les natas! Les meilleurs jamais goûtées!
Vraiment je vous le conseille !

A nice place for brunch at Verdun, the owner is very friendly, make you feel at home, Spanish style food is quite delicious, small place but warm, must try !

I’ve been to this Verdun gem twice now for brunch so I figured it was about time I leave a review!
This charming chef-​owned ‘neighbourhood bistro’ is a great bet! It is a fairly small restaurant situated on a calm intersection. There are a handful of outdoor seats as well as about twenty indoors. This place could easily accomodate a private party or group. With plenty of natural light and open windows on sunny days, even dining indoors feels as liberating as being on a terrace.
I enjoyed brunch on both visits but I will definitely be back to try their evening and tapas menus! I have to say that both times I ordered the ‘Hemingway’ eggs benedict — it was just THAT good. Two poached eggs, home smoked maple salmon accompanied by dill hollandaise… YES. This is one of the best eggs benedict I have ever had. The hollandaise doesn’t drown the dish and it’s perfectly creamy and light at the same time. Just simply perfect!
My second visit I brought along two girlfriends in tow: one had the ‘Horseback’ (Fried egg, seared steak, sautéed mushrooms with a rösti Potato) and the other ordered the ‘Comme vous voulez’ (2 eggs your choice, with sausage, bacon, and roma tomatoes and bake beans). Both were equally delicious. Their brunch menu is short and sweet which is really great for indecisive folk like me. The menu has something for just about everyone.
On my first visit, I got to chat with Chefs Jose Rodriguez and Anabela Gonçalves. Both were gracious, warm, and welcoming. Just chatting with them alone was enough to bring me back! Anabela is responsible for their famous desserts. I was so stuffed after brunch that I couldn’t squeeze in a seductive looking piece of chocolate cake (although the temptation was there…) I hear that people actually order whole cakes for takeaway for those of you interested!
I would definitely recommend this adorable bistro. Whether you live in the area or not, it’s worth the trek! The area is undergoing changes so it makes for a nice weekend neighbourhood exploration day.
I’ll be back, Bistro Piquillo!
