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.
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.
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 👌

Stopped by while visiting Montreal & absolutely loved it! The food was delicious, the staff was super friendly, & it's kids-friendly too. The manager even checked in on us & was so kind, which made the experience even better. Definitely a spot I'll be returning to next time I'm in the city!

The food was good- but the portions were extremely small. It was smaller than what we all expected. As for the service, it was really great. It was kind of obvious that the waitress was upset with our tip option, but we were also upset with our portions for the amount we paid for our food!
Went to this restaurant to celebrate a friend's birthday & the service as well as the food was exceptional!! A must visit if you are looking to get a taste of authentic & fresh Spanish dishes. The manager working that Friday provided an amazing service, will definitely be going again.
