Tinc Set

Grab a seat outside or at one of the cozy booths in this cafe, grocery, and bottle shop during the day and you’ll see everybody from high schoolers and large families with kids to long-standing residents going about their business on the leafy street in the Outremont district. The midday/brunch menu features bocadillo sandwiches on crusty bread, salads, Spanish conservas with patatas bravas, and carefully selected Spanish and Catalán wines. 

Some of the same elements remain at night, when the lights go down and you can hang at the bar or a barrel and revel in the Mexican-inspired crudos and tostadas of the chef’s home cuisine, like the Catalán-style roasted chicken and octopus, plus Basque cheesecake or homemade churros for dessert.
