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 offers a cozy, authentic Spanish dining experience in Montreal with a warm, inviting ambiance and a memorable flamenco show on weekend evenings. Guests consistently praise generous portions of paella, tapas, and seafood, with flavors described as vibrant and transportive. Service is repeatedly noted as attentive and friendly, often making guests feel at home even on busy nights. The setting blends intimate dining nooks with lively entertainment, creating a versatile venue for anniversaries, dates, or casual dinners. The overall experience is enriched by decor, music, and wine that evoke Spain, while the team attends to every detail to ensure a memorable night. While some reviews mention higher prices, many emphasize that the combination of food quality, ambiance, and flamenco makes the visit worthwhile.
Superbe expérience ! Dès l'arrivée, on est accueilli chaleureusement par Firo, le gérant, une personne vraiment attachante & pleine de bonne humeur. On sent tout de suite sa passion pour la cuisine & pour ses clients.
Les plats traditionnels espagnols sont extrêmement généreux & surtout délicieux - des saveurs authentiques qui nous transportent directement en Espagne.
En plus, le vendredi soir, nous avons eu la chance d'assister à un magnifique spectacle de flamenco. Une ambiance incroyable qui a rendu la soirée encore plus spéciale.
C'était vraiment comme un voyage en Espagne le temps d'un repas. Je recommande sans hésiter à tous ceux qui veulent passer une soirée mémorable !
La nourriture & l'ambiance étaient superbes. Le service était d'autant plus agréable avec Firo le gérant qui nous a traités comme si on était à la maison, très chaleureux ☺?.
Je suis venu ici avec mes amies & nous avons passé un super moment!! Merci à Firo pour la belle ambiance & le service impeccable! J'ai hâte de revenir ici avec ma famille! La nourriture était super bonne & je recommande la sangria!
Superbe souper en famille avec nos trois fils. La nourriture est excellente & les portions sont généreuses. L'ambiance est chaleureuse. Service impeccable de la part de Firo. Nous y retournerons pour voir le spectacle de flamenco.
Tried this restaurant today & we loved it so much! The food tasted just like the restaurants in Spain, so authentic & full of flavour.

We had an incredible evening at Casa Galicia. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was warm & the service was truly outstanding. I've never felt so well taken care of in a restaurant.

Le meilleur restaurant de Montréal à mon avis. On a eu un service incroyable je n'ai jamais eu de ma vie un service autant bien. Mention spécial à M.Firo qui a simplement rendu notre soirée encore plus belle. La nourriture est excellente je recommande le poisson !! Merci vraiment pour tout c'est sur que je reviens !!!
The food is amazing. We tried the Zarzuela discovery menu, it was delicious & fulfilling for two people. Firo was the best host, his attention to detail & vibe made our night.

Mon amie & moi sommes allés souper hier (sep 11). Firo, le gérant fût très chaleureux & très intentionné dans son accueil & son service. Nous avons commandé une paella aux fruits de mer. C'était excellant. Le vin qu'il nous a conseillé a aussi très bien accompagné le plat. Nous avons choisi ce restaurant pour la location près des activités du Quartier Latin & parce que nous désirions manger de la cuisine espagnole. Ce resto, fût le début d'une très belle soirée pour nous. Merci Firo, nous nous reverrons bientôt.
The first time I went there was 2014, then we returned again in 2019 & 2025. Once they let our 4 year old daughter dance on the stage & the last time we went was served by Firo.
Mon mari & moi avons visité ce restaurant hier, & c'était absolument parfait. La salade de poulpe est l'une des meilleures. Le personnel était très attentionné ; Firo & sa fille étaient vraiment formidables. Ils ont toujours été aux petits soins pour nous & nous ont captivés par leur naturel & leur sens de l'humour. Je recommande fortement cet endroit pour une soirée romantique & pour savourer l'un des meilleurs plats espagnols.
