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.
wow wow wow ! Such a beautiful place, the bartender Justine did such a great job. The sangrias white & rosato are crazy good. Food is tasty & service is personnalized. Will come back for sure. Thank you !!
I've been here two times already in the last week. The food is really good & so are the drinks, the rosée sangria is my fav. Thanks to Jamal me & my 5 friends had a blast.
Le décor est superbe & le service est excellent ! L'ambiance est agréable & la nourriture & cocktails sont délicieux ! La cuisine est réceptive aux demandes, selon les préférences & moi & la bel-famille avons beaucoup apprécié!
Had this place saved & happened to be in the area. In reading the reviews, didn't realize that Spanish food was such a polarizing topic. In our experience, we thoroughly enjoyed everything. We are well travelled domestically & internationally & found this to be as good & tasty as multiple cities in Spain & no I'm not comparing it to touristy restaurants near popular locations. Each dish was legitimately tasty. Our favorite was the squid ink paella with the pulpa con patatas a very close second. Service was excellent, courteous & prompt. I also noticed a quality control reviewing before each dish was served. Recommended with enthusiasm.
Un endroit a découvrir, produit frais , cuisine recherchée avec des recettes authentiques! Just wow ! Que dire du service de Gaelle !!! Impeccable . Toute l'équipe était très gentille Un resto coup de coeur. Merci on s'est régalé
Great seafood, fresh food & drinks. They gave us a few rounds of complimentary shots as we were celebrating a birthday. Service could've been a tad quicker but hey that happens :)
Je me considère comme une personne difficile au niveau de la nourriture & je dois dire que les plats était excellents frais & pleins de saveurs!! Nous avons pris les crevettes Gambas, le secreto iberico, poisson grillé & fruits de mers, ainsi que les calamars frits. Bon appétit!
Mediocre. The service was friendly but a bit forgetful. The fries were over seasoned like a cheap fast food restaurant. The Croquetas were not very good, & seemed like they came from a box. The pan con tomate had a nice idea for seasoning, but half of the tomatoes were a bit spoiled. Overall, it has the feeling of an over-priced tourist trap rather than anything authentic or Spanish. Still, the interior decor was pleasant, & the outdoor terrace has a nice view of the port.

Petit bar-restaurant très agréable sur la promenade du port de Montréal; la nourriture espagnole & méditerranéenne est fraîche & authentique. La charcuterie & le pan con tomate étaient très bon. Les cocktails sont originaux. Un restaurant d'une qualité rare lors de mon séjour à Québec 💯
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!

Wonderful lunch by the harbour, great place that accepted dogs on the Patio. The food did not disappoint. I had the Lobster roll & would have it again. Treated ourselves to dessert- both of them excellent. Thank you to Caissy & Pierre for great service
Service impeccable, délicieux cocktails & que dire des patatas bravas qui etaient absolument délicieuses. Le décor est magnifique autant sur la terrasse qu'à l'intérieur.
Due to the sudden rain, all the clients from the terrace were moved inside the restaurant, creating a bit of chaos. Despite having a reservation, we had to wait for a table to become available, which took about 20 minutes. In the meantime, we were asked to sit at the bar, but the counter was wet & hadn't been cleaned, so we decided not to order any drinks. When we were finally seated, the space felt cramped & uncomfortable, as the restaurant is quite small. The food, particularly the paella, was disappointing-it was overly salty & lacked the balance of flavors we were hoping for. Overall, the experience was underwhelming & not what we expected."
