Ibérica : the New Spanish Restaurant in the Heart of Downtown
A new year is always interesting for the restaurant industry. Some establishments try different concepts to elevate their services while others have more of an unfortunate luck. January tends to be pretty calm but some daring entrepreneurs choose to capitalize on that and open a new place during the low season – and that’s what happened with Ibérica.
Ibérica invites you to discover their traditional and modern recipes from around the Iberian Peninsula, prepared with high quality produce in unique surroundings while creative hand-crafted cocktails harmoniously mix with a curated list of Spanish wines to complement the intricate cuisine.
Located in the heart of downtown Montreal at 1450 Peel street, open Monday through Saturday, the restaurant reflects Barcelona’s social and cultural life in none other than Zébulon Perron’s striking decor.
Iberica offers a menu of diverse and exquisite tapas, traditional stews along with succulent rice dishes. It’s charcuterie heaven and freshness galore, making it a new hot spot in the heart of downtown. A distinctive feature that certainly catches the eye is the fish market display counter where one can choose their product imported directly from Spain, the Mediterranean and throughout North-America.
In addition to that, you will find in the kitchen a stunning Josper oven, arguably the finest charcoal oven on the market. It is crafted and engineered in Spain and made its way to our city, infusing phenomenal flavours in every element that cooks in it.
This enclosed charcoal-fired grill reaches temperatures in excess of 500°C yet imparts the most subtle smoky taste due to its intense and quick way of cooking vegetables, fish as well as meat, adding a unique texture whilst retaining juiciness. Josper ovens have been used in Barcelona for over 40 years, and this new addition to our dining scene will provide customers with an exceptional Spanish inspired dining experience.
The chef
One of Montreal’s leading figures in the restaurant scene, Chef Marino Tavares has over 25 years of experience and leads the kitchen brigade. His culinary style, combined with his talent, allows him to transform delicious traditional dishes into modern recipes that will bring your palate on a Spanish culinary journey.
Private dining
The restaurant offers both a private and semi-private area for any of your special occasions, whether business or pleasure. It is also possible to book the entire restaurant for events if you wish to have a more intimate party and have the whole place for you and your guests.
