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.

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.
La nourriture est délicieuse, le service, attentionné & le décor nous transporte véritablement en Espagne. Pour passer un bon moment dans une ambiance feutrée, je recommande! :-)
J'ai visité l'Espagne plusieurs fois. J'ai essayé BEAUCOUP de restos espagnols. Mais franchement l'expérience offerte à Casa Galicia est unique. Le propriétaire & son oncle sont absolument charmants & très efficaces, tout comme le reste des serveurs d'ailleurs. Le décor est magnifique & nous transporte en Espagne, le menu est super & varié & ils sont ultra organisés pour des gros groupes. Oh, & un PLUS, le spectacle de flamenco & le guitariste!
Restaurant hyper chaleureux avec un décor typiquement d'inspiration Espagnol. Si vous aimez les fruits de mer c'est LA place où aller. Le spectacle de flamenco 💃🏽 met une touche magique à la soirée gastronomique. Un must pour une date , sortie en amoureux 💍 ou entre amis 🍷 . Le menu découverte est absolument délicieux & copieux. Le service reçu était très attentionné. J'y retournerai á 💯
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

My boyfriend & I heard about this restaurant on social media & the vibes looked nice, so we decided to try it. The decor & flamenco show were unique & interesting which we liked! However, the food was underwhelming for the price we paid. Everything was okay, but not great, which is what we would've expected for the 170$ we paid. Same goes for the service. The waiter we had at the beginning was good, but he seemingly left halfway through our meal & no other server came to replace him….we were left trying to flag down employees for every request, not even receiving water until dessert. Overall, food ok but not great service & really not worth the price in our opinion. Sad because we were very excited about this place :((
Delicious food in generous portions served by gracious & attentive staff in charming ambiance. This is a perfect spot for a cozy evening spent listening to great Spanish music, enjoying the cuisine & feeling nestled in tastefully decorated restaurant.
The restaurant's cozy, rustic decor & lively music immediately made us feel like we were in Spain. We started with a selection of delicious tapas, with the grilled octopus being my favorite. For the main course, we had a seafood paella that was incredibly flavorful. The staff were very friendly & welcoming. I highly recommend this place for a lovely evening out in town.
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 ambiance, decor, music, food & service. It was a great experience. The grilled octopus one of the best We had a great cava to go with everything. The tapas in the appetizer section the Garlic shrimps WOW the paella Galicia was amazing ,I recommend this restaurant with excellent unique decoration & taste to everyone looking for a Medditerranean experience in Montreal
Fidèle depuis plus de 10 ans à ce resto, Tino & Maria & leur personnel vous accueille chaleureusement dans ce magnifique resto au décor espagnol qui rend l'expérience avec la nourriture encore plus savoureuse, délicieuse & à point. Essayer leur multitude version de la paëlla exquise & préparée selon la tradition espagnole. Vous aurez le choix d'accompagner votre plat avec un des vins espagnols parmi leur carte des vins bien garnie & qui n'a rien à envier avec les vins italiens & les vins français. Le service est rapide, efficace & attentionné par le personnel qui apporte une attention à ce que vous passiez un moment des plus agréable & des plus plaisants.
L'ambiance est agréable, avec son décoration & le spectacle de flamenco, la dance el la guitarre qui nous ramène dans le temps, dans la vielle Espagne. Les croquettes de morue très petites & la texture devrait être améliorée, mais les crevettes & calamars sont très bonnes ! La paella est l'une des meilleures que j'ai jamais mangées dans un resto & le vin mesón c'est recommandé pour son rapport qualité prix.

Casa Galicia is an absolute gem in Montreal! I can't praise their seafood enough – it's simply the best I've ever tasted. The experience was made even more memorable as it became the perfect spot to bond with my mother on a special occasion. The beautiful interior decoration added a delightful touch, making our visit truly unforgettable.
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.
Le repas (paella aux fruits de mer & agneau + poulet à l'ail) était bon & la sangria était délicieuse. L'endroit est petit mais bien décoré aux couleurs & objets d'Espagne. Il y avait aussi un beau spectacle de danse de Flamenco. Les prix ne sont pas donnés pour la quantité servie mais c'est compréhensible vu qu'il y a du spectacle. Je recommande car ça donne un goût de l'Espagne.
