Pintx me, I must be dreaming.


I was first exposed to Pintxo's in Valencia Spain when I went I met up with my cousin in 2006.

The idea of being able to try such a huge variety of food all in one seating really get's me excited. I was quick to jump at the opportunity to try out Pintxo's tonight, upon a friends suggestion, and I am so glad that I did!

Tapas and Pintxo's are really similar to one another and quite frankly I have treid to do some research on what the difference is but am coming up a bit empty handed as i have found contradictory definitions.

Suffice it to say, they are small portioned dishes appropriate for a small snack when ordered individually, or good for sharing and orchestrating a richly expressive meal when ordered and shared between a group of people!
Either way, they are tasty, and just thinking about it is making me hungry all over again!

Pintxo's, is located on Roy between Laval and Henri-Julien, and I have to say that this is a wonderful dinning experience!

When you are ordering it is usually suggested to order 5 to 7 dishes. If you decide it share with others you are sure to have a wonderful variety of Dishes! I highly recommend that you do share, because honestly, the only issue that I encountered was on trying to limit my choices to 5!

The service and ambiance are warm and charmingly comfortable, and the presentations simple but delectable.

Pintxo's are generally more expensive but it is a splurge that is worth every penny!
There is also a menu degustation so you can experience their wonderful Plat Principals as well as the Pintxo's!
No matter which way you chose to engage in this culinary voyage to Spain it's an amazing trip!
