I just didn't like the paella rice, has nothing to do with the spanish paella rice 🥲, but the restaurant is really comfortable & the crew was super nice at all time.

Inexperienced waiters making mistakes.
The appetizer was amazing. But my lamb was way overcooked & impossible to cut. The crème brûlée was more of a panna cota.

No wine list & for the wine selection offered no bottle less then 140$.
Main dishes came in cold. It's unfortunate because the restaurant had a nice cachet but will not go back nor recommend.

Première visite à La Boqueria, & malheureusement, je ne crois pas y retourner.
Le décor est charmant, le service attentionné & la pieuvre grillée absolument délicieuse !
Cependant, plusieurs déceptions ont assombri l'expérience :
• On nous a fait goûter un vin avant de commander, mais au moment du service, il n'en restait plus.
• En cuisine, nos entrées ont été oubliées, qu'on nous a proposées de recevoir après ou en même temps que le plat principal.
• La brochette de porc était froide & excessivement grasse, la paella très singulière & les croquettes de canard simplement correctes.
• Pour les desserts, il ne restait que deux crème brûlées sur trois, nous obligeant à changer notre choix. Pourtant commandé dès le départ.
Fait cocasse : la table voisine a dû retourner sa brochette non cuite, & alors qu'on lui annonçait manquer aussi de crème brûlée… des churros sont apparus comme par magie ! & ce sans avertissement
Bref, un beau potentiel & une équipe sympathique, mais une soirée ponctuée de petits ratés qui, ensemble, ont laissé un goût d'inachevé.

Stepped in for a drink & delighted by the server/manager. Very friendly greeting & charming. Wish I had more of a appetite when I visited to try some more food. I had the croquettes & a drink. Both were great. She also recommended a good pub near by. Hope to come back again next time in Montreal.

Lack of training in staff + kitchen cleanliness issue.
Although the waiter was nice & he mentioned it was his first day, it was annoying that he got our order wrong three times. First it was my friend's drink, then it was the size of our paella. Then it was about the milk-ingredients in a dish.
My friend is from Spain, & she knows the names of the dishes on the menu. She told our waiter that she has an allergy to milk protein & wants to know if the sauce of an asparagus dish has any, since she knows it can be cooked with milk or cream. The waiter double checked with the cooks & told us'no, there is no milk in the sauce'. But when the dish turned up, the asparagus tasted like butter & there was cheese grated on top.
The second problem is the cleanliness of their cooking practices. I got food poisoning an hour & a half after eating at their restaurant. I was in a lot of pain that night with fever. I called in this morning to ask about the ingredients of the dishes & explained I had food poisoning. The floor manager discredited the validity of my testimony & didn't believe me. Then the phone went mute, the call held on for ten silent seconds & then cut off. He likely hung up.

J'ai beaucoup aimé les crevettes. La'guedille' au homard était correct, sans plus mais les patates servies avec étaient bonnes. Nous avons aussi pris les croquettes de jambon qui étaient bonnes. Les churros étaient croustillants comme je les aime.
Les cocktails sont très bons.
La musique était un peu trop forte à notre goût mais c'est très personnel.
Le service était excellent, la serveuse était vraiment gentille, efficace & attentionnée, rien à redire.
Restaurant honnête pour les prix. Somme toute, on a bien apprécié notre soirée & nous y retournerons sûrement. Il y a encore pas mal de trucs au menu qu'on n'a pas essayé.

Les croquettes de jambon étaient excellentes & le service également. Notre serveuse était tout sourire & très gentille, nous l'avons toutes appréciée.
Malheureusement le reste de la nourriture n'a pas suivi. La paella manquait de goût, & n'avait pas beaucoup de fruits de mer. Les croquettes au homards étaient également bonnes mais on se sentait pas vraiment le homard.

This was hands down the best restaurant I've been in for a while, from the food, the drinks & the service was a great experience!!
All were very attentive but the Manager Manuel made us feel like we were at home, you must come visit here!
