Had a brunch at this excellent Spanish restaurant last summer in Montreal, & the paella is cooked to the perfection, from the tender of the seafood to the divine mixture of the paella rice & sauce.
Raw oysters are fresh. Spanish style foccacia with tomato & garlic spreads taste is excellent, good for an appetizer!

I was very disappointed with the food. The paella was far from what it should be. The service was also frustrating - the server kept speaking French even after I mentioned I don't speak French at all, so I had to remind him multiple times. The restaurant was empty, but everything still came very slowly.

Je suis allé à la Boqueria de la cadre de Montréal à table. Ma première impression en arrivant au resto, c'est que toutes les places étaient comblées, mais que presque personne n'avait de nourriture devant elle. Bref, il manquait clairement d'employés à la cuisine. J'ai commandé un plat avec une pièce de viande de porc qui n'était pas assez cuit, & ça m'a coupé l'appétit. La sangria était délicieuse,

We went to Boqueria in the summer & had a wonderful experience. The terrace was great, & the food was genuinely delicious. We ordered gambas al ajillo, anchovies, & paella, & everything was on point.

That's why I was so surprised & disappointed when I brought friends back last night (we were 6).

The ambience & interior design are beautiful-boho, Mediterranean style-& the background music was a fantastic selection. I didn't drink, but my friends really enjoyed the cocktails.

The food was honestly terrible, & it felt like a completely different restaurant compared to the summer.The gambas al ajillo had nothing to do with what we had before. The patatas bravas were basically just fries.& the paella was the worst I've had in my life.

I lived in Spain for four years, & I'm not exaggerating when I say: please don't call that paella. More broadly, the food last night didn't resemble what you'd expect from Spanish cuisine at all.

I truly hope the owners take this comment seriously, because I left feeling really disappointed-& honestly, embarrassed in front of my friends after recommending the place based on my previous experience.
