La Boqueria is a tapas bar in Old Montreal where warm atmosphere and Mediterranean authenticity meet. From fresh seafood to Iberian cold meats and paellas, Boqueria will take you on a journey with every bite.
Boqueria comes across as a lively Spanish spot with a warm, stylish interior and a bright terrace that creates a festive mood; the cuisine is praised for fresh seafood, tapas, croquettes, and paella with flavors that feel authentic, and cocktails and sangria are frequently highlighted as well; service is described as attentive and friendly by many, contributing to a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere, though a few visits note menu items being unavailable and pacing that can be slower at peak times; overall the impression is of a vibrant, flavorful dining experience in the old port with good value and a memorable sense of hospitality.
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.
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.

I spend summer in montreal & today I just want to enjoy the last hot day . I went for walk & I always pass by Boqueria but today I decided to try . Very good sangria 👌 great food & nice ambiance music . Definitely recommend 👌
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!

Le service offert par l'équipe, tant par les serveuses que par les serveurs, était d'une attention irréprochable. Le niveau de service se distingue par son professionnalisme & son efficacité. Les entrées & plats que nous avons dégustés nous ont pleinement satisfaits, avec une mention spéciale pour la pieuvre grillée, savoureuse & parfaitement cuite. L'ambiance du restaurant est chaleureuse & agréable, avec le choix entre une salle intérieure & une terrasse extérieure. Recommandé par un ami, ce restaurant a largement dépassé nos attentes. Nous y retournerons sans hésitation. Merci pour cette belle soirée.
Je suis allée avec une amie & on a été super bien servie (surtout le serveur/bartender Lounis)! L'endroit est super beau, la nourriture aussi! J'ai passé un très bon temps & je recommande fortement.
très agréable endroit pour des tapas avant un spectacle, on sent une belle touche espagnole !!!le service est courtois & chaleureux le petit mot du gérant à la fin du repas a été très apprécié : nous recommandons ce restaurant sans hésitation 😉😊🤗👌
Cannot recommend this restaurant more. Server was great, & even one of the managers Shahan came over to make sure everything was good. He smelled really really good too. We shared the gambas, & each had an order of the contre-filet de boeuf. Extraordinary. Usually I hate ordering steak from restaurants, but it was cooked perfectly, super tender & flavourful & smelled amazing when it got to the table, just like Shahan. Food 10/10, service 10/10, Shahan's cologne 12/10.
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.

Je suis allée en terrasse avec des amies cette semaine & j'ai adoré ce restaurant !
Le service est impeccable, tout le monde est aux petits soins & vous accueille chaleureusement.
Les cocktails sont très bons, & la nourriture un délice. En plus il y avait un petit spectacle de flamenco avec guitare 💃 De quoi vous faire voyager en Espagne 🇪🇸
C'est tout ce qu'on demande & ce qu'on attend d'une belle expérience client, je recommande fortement cette adresse du Vieux Port 😍
Une expérience absolument parfaite du début à la fin! Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis & avons vraiment bien mangé. Mention spéciale à notre serveuse, Anaïs (si je ne me trompe pas sur son nom), qui a été d'une attention remarquable tout au long du repas. Toujours souriante, à l'écoute, & pleine de belles suggestions tant pour les plats que pour les cocktails. Elle a vraiment contribué à rendre notre soirée mémorable. Je recommande cet endroit à 100 %, & pour une expérience encore plus exceptionnelle, demandez à être servis par Anaïs!
Everything was delicious! I really recommend La Boqueria. They have great tapas, great cocktails & the terrace is stunning! Special thank you to Manuel & Jad for the wonderful service !!
An amazing service! Thanks to Manuel for his service, attention & kindness ! The cocktails are the best in old port, I'll definitely be back, 100% recommended if you're looking for a good place to have a nice time this is definitely the best option 🙌🏻🫶🏻
