Review Tardes Calenas Restaurant - Longueuil

Good Traditional Colombian restaurant . It is small and designed with souvenirs from Colombia which is really cool. The waitress was very nice and helpful. They did not have any vegetarian options on the menu so I asked if they could make something vegetarian and they said yes, the chef even came out and explained it to me before making the dish which I really appreciated. This place is also gluten-free friendly which is a plus. Majority of the bread is made with either plantain or pan (corn flour). For our drinks we had the lulu (little orange)and mora (blackberry) juice. They both tasted so fresh and natural compared to other places we have tried in Ottawa. For our appetizers we got the pantacon, pan de bono and the potatoes empanada and meat empanada. Our favorite was the pantacon (salty plantain with meat, avocado and salsa on top). I am not big on meat but I really enjoyed it on this appetizer, it was seasoned very well and was tender. For our main dishes we got the vegetarian dish with rice, beans, plantain and salad which was pretty good. We didn’t have room for dessert because the meal was so filling, but it seemed like they had some good options. We will definitely return again because it is one of the only good restaurants around our area that has tradition Colombian food!

Such a unexpected surprise. Wow, i literally went to this place as a recommended restaurant to eat at tonight by Google maps because i do a lot of reviews. WOW, WOW AM I GLAD I Came HERE. Make reservations if you are a group. This tiny place sits 32 people. The menu is simple and delicious. I feel like I'm being served a high grade home cooked meal with love. Im blown away. Look, i don't know if the service is always like this but I could tell you that the service I had tonight was top-notch the waitresses absolutely respectful charming and attentive to our needs. Come alone come as a couple or come as a group and I'm sure you're going to enjoy your meal and experience here I absolutely love it the decor is very nice it does have a little Colombian feel to it it's worth a try don't pass it up. It's a BYOB over here.

Great larin food, Colombian style. Genuine tastes. I had bandeja paisa, a bean, porkskin, fried egg, beef and plantain platter. My wife had a whole fried red snapper. Dishes from the center and the Caribbean coast respectively. Don't miss the house made exotic fruit juices! Music was genuine salsa from Cali, Colombia. Had dinner with the family, we all loved it.

Amazing food, excellent and friendly staff. Latin food in it's simplest and true form :) Highly recommended, good price and BYOB too!

Great experience! Waitress was very nice and food was excellent. Felt like I was visiting a Columbian home. Recommend trying it at least once!

Excellent Colombian restaurant! For my first time having Colombian food, it was an excellent experience. Try the desserts!

What kind of place closes at 7pm on a Friday???it was hard for the last 2 years bla bla bla, obviously you don’t want to make money when you close at 7pm on a Friday after 2 years of lockdown. Was going to be my first time but it was my last instead.

Long ago decided to take all my Arab friends to try Colombian food, the food itself was ok but the service from the staff did not make me happy at all, I ordered an “ajiaco” which came with the soup rice, avocado and sweet plantain, when they served it there was no avocado and I asked the waitress why she said we don’t have then I said can I have then another sweet plantain slice to what she said “it’s extra” and I said well it should have come with avocado and it’s not there, she brought the owner who was rude to me and ruined the whole experience. At least some of you had better luck than me.

The food was fantastic! The place was neat and with very much authentic decoration. There was issues with parking but the people at the restaurant were very accommodating, the only issue I had is that they served us one meal first and it took easily 20 more min for the other main dish to arrive... I either had to eat while my friend watched me eat or I would've had to wait and eat a cold meal... The lady serving us apologized but it certainly looked as if she had forgotten about my friend's meal when I finally asked her and 3 min later here comes the dish! Excellent food, just stay on top of your order

After waiting more than 20 minutes for my food, the server forgot my dad's order, my dad waited more than 45 minutes, finally he received his food but the fish was FROZEN, This place does NOT have Authentic food like the website describe it, Very disappointed.

Delicioso! Cuisine colombienne traditionelle très savoureuse. Il y a beaucoup de variété pour ceux qui n'aiment pas toujours les mêmes repas. Très bon service avec une attention particulière puisque nous sommes venus pour un anniversaire. Comme Colombienne, je recommande ce restaurant pour tous ceux qui s'attendent à la nourriture Colombienne typique, mais aussi pour ceux qui n'ont jamais essayé ce genre de nourriture auparavant. Ceci est la place pour l'essayer pour première fois (beaucoup d'information dans leur menu avec des photos)! Merci Jenny :)

Very good flavors, best Colombian food in town. The waiter was very good but the owner seemed too stressed out. Would definitely come back.

Tout est délicieux, le service est parfait et les plats sont majoritairement sans gluten (je suis coeliaque).

Très bonne nourriture mais c'est surtout le service qui mérite le 5 étoiles. La serveuse était fantastique, Très souriantes, attentionnée et malgré que le restaurant était plein et qu'elle était toute seule, nous n'avons pas attendu. Elle s'est assurée que tout allait bien et allait au devant de nos demandes. Merci pour la soirée un petit restaurant à connaître. Bravo

If you live on the South Shore you MUST try this wonderful hidden gem of a restaurant; if you don't, TRUST ME, it is worth the detour. The soup, empanadas and the bavette are to die for! Can't wait to come again!
