Casa Galicia has been a staple of Spanish cuisine in Montreal since 1977. Founded by Laurentino Oliveira and still proudly family-run, the tradition continues today with Jorge Oliveira and David Oliveira at the helm.
Recognized as one of the best Spanish restaurants in North America, Casa Galicia specializes in authentic Galician cuisine, offering classic dishes like paella, zarzuela, and a variety of regional specialties. Guests can pair their meals with a refreshing pitcher of sangria considered among the best in Montreal, or explore the restaurant’s unique wine cellar, featuring reserve wines from Spain’s most prestigious winemaking regions.
The warm and welcoming atmosphere, friendly service, and distinctive décor make every visit memorable. On weekends, the experience is elevated with live flamenco performances, including a professional Spanish guitarist, bringing a touch of Spain’s vibrant culture to the heart of the city.
Casa Galicia stands out as a welcoming spot with generous portions, flavorful seafood and paella, friendly service, and a warm authentic Spanish ambiance, enhanced by lively flamenco on select nights and a memorable overall experience that makes guests want to return.
Had a lovely night out at Casa Galicia. The seafood & Paella were delicious, fresh & portions were generous. The staff were very pleasant & sociable. The ambiance was very cozy & the decor was authentic. We were even offered a complementary Porto after our meal.We had a wonderful time & will go back.
The Spanish ambiance was so beautiful & romantic. The server was very authentic & kind, & the food delicious! It is a little pricey but with everything put together it's well worth it. Just wish we got to stay for the Flamenco show. Will definitely be back!
Tried this restaurant today & we loved it so much! The food tasted just like the restaurants in Spain, so authentic & full of flavour.
Our waiter, Firo, was AMAZING. He was so friendly, attentive, & genuinely made the whole experience so much better. We left feeling so happy, & definitely coming back soon! 💛 Thank you FIRO!
I had a wonderful experience at Casa Galicia! The atmosphere was cozy & full of character - you could really feel the warmth of Spanish culture all around. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, & full of authentic flavor.
What truly made the evening special was our server. I wish I remembered his name, but he was absolutely amazing - friendly, professional, & full of passion when explaining the dishes & their history. He made us feel at home from the moment we sat down.
It's rare to find that level of attention & genuine hospitality these days. I'll definitely be coming back & recommending this place to friends. A beautiful experience from start to finish. 💫

Had a birthday celebration here last night. The ambience is authentic European, with beautiful decorations & flamenco live shows on some nights. The staff were very welcoming, accommodating & had big smiles on their faces during the whole night. They are really passionate about their establishment. The food was also amazing & the drinks as well. 5 stars
I highly recommend this experience not only for the authentic food, but also for the amazing flamenco show, 7stars we had the grill seafood platter for 2 wow wow wow
The real hidden gem in the heart of quartier latin of Montreal, tasty food comes in a very generous portion, charming yet authentic decoration, splendid Flamenco performance, amazing Sangria...you got all fabulous ingredients to bake an unforgettable evening. We especially appreciated the delicate & welcoming service from George & Felio. Our only regret was not being able to try their dessert...we are quite certain they must be exquisite.
Excellent & kind service! The food is very tasteful & authentic, also the sangria was amazing! Good prices & really great service!!! I went with a group of friends & will come back
The food is absolutely delicious & your taste buds will bring you right back to Spain. The hospitality is very welcoming, the staff is very attentive & kind. The flamenco show is very raw & authentic & will allow you to dream. The decor, ambiance, food & entertainment really make you feel as though you've stepped into another world. I have been there a few times & I am never disappointed & eager to go back.

Such a lovely, warm, delicious evening. Casa Galicia has been hiding in plain sight since opening in 1977. I've gone over the years but for the first time with a Spanish friend who confirmed my suspicions that this was one of the best Spanish restos in Montreal. Authentic & delicious, their preparation & & service excels in almost every way. Oh we will all be back & I can bet so will you when once you try it!
Restaurant Galicia displays an authentic decor & soft Spanish music. We were two couples who went for dinner on a Thursday evening. We ordered a variety of tapas, the shrimps (with tomatoes) were tasty, the fried calamares less so, patatas bravas were good & spicy. Our table ordered three different paellas & the chef was kind enough to accommodate allergies & excluding from one of the paellas some seafood, at out request. The paellas were good, but the lobster was not very tender. One person ordered a grilled fish that turned out to be excellent, moist, crisp outside. Large sangria jar. Food portions were generous. Service was very slow, despite the limited number of guests on that day, & we waited a long time between tapas & paellas, ending up eating a lot of bread, & thus feeling less hungry when the main course arrived. The restaurant has an interesting flamenco show on weekends which gives more authenticity to the place. Difficult to park (October 2021, many constructions around). The restaurant has put in place all adequate measures against COVID-19.
