Boqueria receives praise for vibrant tapas, excellent paella, and fresh seafood, paired with warm, attentive service and a lively, welcoming atmosphere that works well for sharing plates and casual dining both on the terrace and inside.
What a wonderful dining experience! Tapas & sangria was the plan & that's exactly what we got plus so much more! Loved the setting & had such great service with Shahan & the rest of the team. We had the lobster croquettes, the jambon & fromage bites & then the skillet of shrimp. & to close out the evening, churros (w dulce de leche) & a cup of expresso. Wow! What a delightful meal. Can't recommend highly enough!

having many years in tourist business in many countries in south & central America & visiting many restaurants, I recommend La Boqueria, the service was pleasant from the start, the seafood paella delicious & the crispy churros with their dulce de leche just great. I highly recommend this restaurant.
So much to say … but the octopus is a 10 out of 10
Clean space
Very good service
Very nice ambiance
& the plates we had are 100% Spanish plates. So fresh, so good
I will come back & I highly recommend it
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bouqueria in Montreal, & it was an experience worth sharing. I ordered the fish of the day, which happened to be the whole Branzino. Let me tell you, it was expertly grilled to perfection. The fish was tender, flavorful, & beautifully presented, making it a true highlight of the meal. The dish came with escalivada, a delicious medley of grilled vegetables, & Patatas Bravas, which were absolutely the best-tasting potatoes I've ever had. The crispy potatoes paired with the sweet & creamy mayo mixture were simply divine. The ambiance at Bouqueria was another standout. The homey & serene decor made it easy to relax & enjoy the meal. It felt like a warm, welcoming escape from the bustle of the city. The service was equally impressive-our server was incredibly attentive & sweet, ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Overall, Bouqueria is a gem in Montreal's culinary scene. If you're looking for a place with delicious food, a cozy atmosphere, & top-notch service, I highly recommend giving it a try!

This restaurant was the highlight of our Montreal trip! Upon arriving at the restaurant, the ambiance right by the waterfront in the middle of summer set a wonderful mood for the rest of the night for my friends & me. We sat down & the server was attentive to our food needs. Started off with wine, sangria & oysters, we already knew this was going to be a great meal tasting the freshness of oysters - felt like it was fresh from the ocean. Right after, we ordered the half chicken & were pleasantly surprised with the large delicious portion of chicken, patatas bravas & legumes. We highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who visit Old Montreal as locals & tourists!
AMAZING!! If you're considering coming, do it!! We had the Boqueria sangria which was delicious & the shrimp with an olive oil garlic sauce was the most amazing thing! Also the salmon ceviche, the octopus & the asparagus were all phenomenal. Our waiter Milton was great & the ambience inside & out on the patio is amazing. Highly recommend!!
We had such a lovely experience at this restaurant. The food was amazing & we were very well taken care of by the staff which was overall I highly recommend!

This is a lovely spot to enjoy an assortment of tapas items & have a drink looking out onto the old port. A rare opportunity for excellent food service & an exceptional owner. The atmosphere will transport you to the Mediterranean. I highly recommend this restaurant.
