Tapeo in Villeray has mastered the art of tapas with an authenticity that transports you straight to Spain. Founded by friends Sébastien Muniz and Victor Afonso, Tapeo is known for its unfussy yet refined approach to Spanish small plates, with a menu that ranges from classic patatas bravas and smoky chorizo to inventive plates like swordfish ceviche with olive chutney. Since 2004, chef Marie-Fleur St-Pierre has brought her creative edge to the kitchen, updating the menu with daily and monthly specials that keep regulars coming back for something new.
In a space designed by Surface 3, Tapeo’s interior exudes a warm, modern elegance with exposed brick, moody lighting, and a bustling open kitchen. The wine list leans heavily on Spanish bottles, thoughtfully curated to complement the diverse flavours of each dish. Service is attentive and well-paced, making it easy to settle in for a slow, multi-course experience.
