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.
Excellent service & très belle expérience du début à la fin. Nous avons pris un repas trois services, & tout était délicieux. L'ambiance est chaleureuse sans être trop bruyante parfait pour profiter de la musique tout en pouvant discuter facilement. Je recommande sans hésiter !

Wonderful evening, the show was great, the food was absolutely delicious, service was impeccable, everyone was in a great mood & very inviting. Definitely recommend! Will be back
Exceptional birthday dinner at Casa Galicia. The drive from Toronto was well worth it for the stunning ambiance & Domenic's incredible service-including a Portuguese birthday song! Between the wonderful meal & the Valentine's Day rose, every detail was perfect. We loved the tradition of the bill collection on the wall & were happy to contribute 5 Euros to the display. Highly recommend this gem for any special occasion!
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 !
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! :-)
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!
Had an awesome time. Used the $30 3 course menu QR code from spectra & had an absolute blast. The food & atmosphere is exceptional, & the service from Firo was top notch. Would 100% recommend this place.
Amazing experience at Casa Galicia. Food was incredible & our server Firo was super personable, kind, & attentive. Atmosphere was very cozy. Would recommend & would come back.
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!

Casa Galícia offre une ambiance agréable, une cuisine vraiment délicieuse & un service absolument impeccable. On s'y sent bien, on mange merveilleusement bien, & on est accueilli avec une gentillesse rare. Une adresse que je recommande sans hésiter.
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 !!!
Environment: Good
Service: Good (no rushing us, very polite)
Tapas: we order the 6 tapas, & the quality is great. However, the portion is unbelievably small. For $50 CAD you are getting 2 spoon of food for each tapa.
Paellas: Quality is decent, but the portion is also lacking for sure. The dish comes out a bit dry compare to what I am expecting.
(For your reference, I usually have less food than average male of my size, but paellas + half of 6 tapas is barely enough food for me. [Thats $83 dollars before taxes & tips]
Wine: I only order one glass & asked them to recommend. Doesnt seems like there are much choices. The wine is fine, but didn't go well with the dishes we ordered.
