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.
We were walking nearby & spontaneously decided to stop in for supper. They easily accommodated us with a table for two. To our surprise, there was a live flamenco show, which made the evening even more memorable. The appetizers & main course were excellent, full of flavours, well seasoned & nicely prepared. Every dish we tried was delicious. We will definitely return.
Segunda visita a este restaurante, después de algunos anos.La comida y el servicio excelente como siempre, esta vez disfrutamos además de un espectáculo de canto y baile flamenco magnífico. Recomendamos probar la'paella atlantico' con un extra de chorizo es un verdadero manjar. Las tapas y la sangría deliciosas.

Amazing food, service, & flamenco on Saturday nights. The Paella Valenciana is amazing. I was visiting Montreal, but as long as I'm back, I'll be there again! Thank you for a great night!
Friendly, relaxed atmosphere, excellent paella, the best I've found in Montreal, an old-fashioned restaurant in all the right ways, attentive service, busy but not hectic or rushed, quiet enough for intimate conversation, but also lively with flamenco show & convivial ambience.
Everything about Casa Galicia is phenomenal. From the warm & inviting atmosphere, to the service & last but not definitely least, the food. I will definitely be back!
Make sure to catch the flamenco show on Friday or Saturday evening!
100% recommend if you're looking for an absolutely wonderful all around experience!
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 !
I come here every time I'm in Montreal. Great atmosphere, food, & service. They have flamenco on Fridays. I prefer their steak cuts to other restaurants in Montreal but wish they made paella for one.
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!

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.
Everything is fantastic at this restaurant, but try to make sure you go on a night when they have the flamenco dancing because it's literally fantastic!!! I have been all over Spain & the flamenco dancing is as good as you would find in the best places in Spain!
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!

Thank you to Firo our wonderful server! The night was excellent. The food was delicious, wholesome, & flavorful. Firo was kind, gracious, & quite entertaining! We also had the pleasure of enjoying the Flamenco dancing, which was a perfect edition to the evening. Highly recommend!
Cadre très chic & accueillant. Personnel super aimable. Paëllas délicieuses & portions copieuses, amenez un grand appétit. & les vendredis & samedis soirs du flamenco à partir de 20h30. Absolument une adresse à ne pas râter! 😍
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
